Addiction is an incredibly fascinating endless hole to get into, including these outlier folks. My wife for example has struggled to quit smoking for at least 10 years. As in very hardcore struggle. When I was young my father managed to quit from a 3 pack a day habit to nothing cold turkey. But it was obviously pretty tough on him during the process and took a couple of years to really break out of. My brother has a pretty bad pot addiction, a relatively harmless drug with almost no known chemical mechanism for addiction. Yet he can't shake it and it's haunted him his entire life. I'm a bit like you w/r to tobacco. I occasionally smoke cigars and have played around with cigarettes from time to time. Once I lose interest I just stop and it's over. No urge or desire or anything else. On the other hand, I have a bad day at work and all I want to do is shove shit food in my mouth.
