If your only reason for quitting smoking was because you dislike the concept of addiction, then I suspect you were never a smoker in the first place and are making this up.
Smoking is expensive, unhealthy, inconvenient, and stinky. That's why there's a big push to get people unaddicted to smoking, but not so much push to get people unaddicted from caffeine.

- menloparkbum 18y agoOne of the most successful smoking cessation methods uses this very tactic to help people quit. Smokers already know that smoking is unhealthy, stinky, expensive and inconvenient. This doesn't help them quit. Convincing smokers that they are drug addicts seems to help more. It's easy to rationalize smelling bad, but very hard to rationalize a drug addiction. "Quit Smoking the Easy Way" by Alan Carr
