Addiction isn’t simply “deciding to stop” dude. Congrats you were one of the exceptions but have a little empathy here. This is bootstraps nonsense.

I do have empathy. It is a very steep hill. For some, seemingly vertical. I also care very much about people's health (and my own). Your health is more important than the urge or habit. My point is mostly that if we had the ability to be in our future bodies to feel the effects we all know are coming, that hill would be horizontal.

It was for my dad, he smoked from 16 till about mid 40s, then one day he said I'm done with the expense of this habit and never went back. My mom kept smoking till 60 then just gave it up. For some will power is enough

Yes it indeed is. They are the exception.
