Sadly, for many smokers, it is
not a choice.
It's an addiction, compulsion, habit, dependency, or escape. Maybe all of those things and more. But most smokers simply
cannot choose to not smoke. Any more than my ex husband could choose to quit drinking. He'd say "I can quit anytime I want to" but he never "wanted to."
I've been around recovering alcoholics and addicts that tell me that kicking cigarettes is harder than quitting drinking or drugging.
Congratulations, roachboy on quitting 8 weeks ago.
And good luck on staying quit.
