As someone who has recently quit cold turkey I totally agree with you. Learning the skill of changing difficult habits is part of the process of giving up. A lot of addiction is learning to control what you want to believe, building startups is too, being happy also, papering over the cracks by adding a new addiction I would say is harmful on many levels. I say deal with the smoking addiction finally once and for all and never smoke again. To do that a mildly stoic acceptance that you are going to have to suffer needs to occur.
