When we say that we can quit at anytime we are closing our eyes to the fact that we are addicts.
If is common knowledge that cigarrettes cause a lot of preventable diseases and it shortens our lives and is the first cause of preventable deaths, why do we keep smoking, if we can stop at anytime?
If that was possible, there would be a lot less smokers. As soon as we learned about the negative impact of cigarrettes in our health and life, we would have stop.
So I agree with you Faryal, this is a nasty powerful addiction
