If I'm reading your point right, you deny that nicotine dependency is an addiction.
Nobody needs a facility if they decide to change things, and stick with their decision. When I got tired of coughing up brown slime for the first few minutes after I got up in the morning, I started to think about quitting. When, one night after the stores were closed and I had no change for the machine in the lobby of the building I lived in, I found myself scrounging through my car's ashtray for a smokeable butt or two, I made the decision.
A few miserable weeks, a number of months of occasional cravings, gradually to "boy, a butt would be great with this beer". After 13 or 14 months the desire was gone.

Not at all. Drug addicts have facilities to help cure their addiction. I only asked which facility, you joined.You refused to answer. Most drug addicts are criminals.You admited to being a drug addict.You never told me the facility that supposedly cured you. What crimes did you commit, to purchase cigarettes? What facility did you enter to end you drug addiction? How much time did you do in prison for crimes to purchase cigarettes?

I have total respect for you, you are an admitted drug addict. I wish you the best.
