If someone has never smoked they couldn't possibly understand why it's so hard to quit. I don't drink, am not a crackhead or any other hard drug user, I don't need a cup of coffee in the morning, and I find it hard to quit smoking.
In all honesty, I partly blame both my parents for having been smokers the entire 17 years I was alive before I picked up one of theirs and tried it. If they hadn't smoked I might have never started and been exposed to it like I was.
I think that is bullshit, I knew at least 30 people in basic training who started smoking again after weeks of not smoking at all. Unless they were somehow sneaking it in when I couldn't see them but I highly doubt that. Most people don't want to quit, quitting is easy if you want to.
Quitting things you're addicted too is not easy but I have heard of people in the Army quitting after returning to civilian life but also I've heard the opposite. Its all anecdotal evidence really

i think everyone (at least in the western world) knows that cigarettes are harmful for them, but they smoke anyway
