I watched my dad try and fail half a dozen times to quit smoking over twenty years, and the thought that nicotine addiction is a myth perpetuated by Big Tobacco is so frankly ridiculous that I can't believe I'm dignifying it with a response. That, coupled with your claim that you were a pack-a-day smoker for a decade that apparently quit with relative ease, means that your mind is so apparently alien from the natural human condition that I honestly have no idea how to reason with you because I cannot even imagine what you would consider "reason" to be.
