A single person’s experience is called an anecdote. That’s why they do tests with sample populations greater than one, usually much greater.

Congratulations on your good luck. I know someone who quit two heroin habits, literally with “cold turkey” physical symptoms twice, but still smokes cigarettes.

Go find people that have been addicted to cocaine or heroin.
Ask them which is harder, kicking smoking tobacco or kicking cocaine or heroin.

They will tell you to an overwhelming degree that tobacco is NOTHING.

It ain't just me.

I know people that have kicked it and I know people that have not kicked it with both tobacco and hard drugs.

If it's anecdotal, it's OVERWHELMINGLY anecdotal.

Until you , the singular you, have experienced it you, the plural you, have no idea.

Doctors, medical professionals, researchers, grant suckers, government teat suckers, etc have agendas.
Go talk to the people that have NO agenda. They're the ones you get the truth from.
