“We all know why most smokers don’t/can’t quit, it is one reason that we see it as a weakness”....
I don’t believe that but you are certainly free to think that and quote any researcher to support your opinion.
The facts are people are still choosing to smoke and has nothing to do with weakness...rather the choice they are making...and they are free to enjoy it as well.
Perhaps you’re seeing it from the wrong perspective..... some who are overweight continue to eat because they enjoy it....smoking is like that for some...in fact far more than you would want to admit to.
I have never known anyone, including any smoker that did not know that quitting cigarettes is very difficult, more difficult for women than for men for example.
The next time you are around a smoker, casually ask them if they have ever tried to quit smoking.
