@jdc to be honest, my mum keeps bringing up the "go and ask help from a doctor if you really want to quit"... but too bad I don't trust what doctors recommend... usually they never loose a chance to give patients like 3-4 types of pills...
And i kinda find sugar and alcohol addiction worse because it's so common and yet as dangerous if not more dangerous... But the hook...I think it's the worse when it comes to smoking...(at least for me) because it's very easy to develop a habit.
Also...are you sure you're not rationalizing your addiction because I think, when you start to compare your addiction with other addictions it kinda is. I am doing this too so... I am not judging :/
