            The reality is that it is hard to quit, but even addicts who haven’t even tried will tell you that. I think it should be encouraged.

        It is, in fact, possible to quite smoking. I was a regular smoker for a decade. My fiancee asked me to quit, so I did. Haven’t had a cigarette or vape since. That was over a decade ago.

        Yes, it’s difficult, and not everyone is able to quit as easily as I did. But don’t pretend like it’s impossible to quit.

          I’m not pretending it’s impossible. I’m saying that someone whose advice is “well just quit then” doesn’t have a good understanding of the problem.
