For a year or so I smoked casually when i was a teen in the 90s (to look cool) with intermittent bouts of heavy smoking over days at friends homes/etc. Probably average ~1-2 packs a week. One day i just got bored and stopped. Never felt any withdrawal signs.
I'm not countering your point of it being addictive. I was so, so so lucky not to have been hooked by that at all. I don't know if i just didn't smoke enough, or what... but it's one of the few points in my life i feel like i made the right choice.
Weirder yet, it wasn't even a choice.. i just sort of stopped.

Google "Ease of Quitting Smoking May Be Early Sign of Parkinson's")
- jawngee 10y agoI've read you need to smoke 5 a day to form and maintain a physical addiction which is why it might have been so easy. https://www.hri.global/files/2011/07/13/Benowitz_-_Nicotine_Regulation.pdf https://www.hri.global/files/2011/07/13/Benowitz_-_Nicotine_...
