Why not to tell you? I have several friends if not all big time smokers, my relatives, my brothers in law, mates at work etc.. I tell them the same thing.
I just don't like it when smokers intend to exaggerate things and make it as if they're dying slowly when they quit. Of course not all are the same but majority act like drama queens.
My Mother smoked for 23 years, 2packets per day... She managed to stop after she was convinced, she never got ill/sick or whatever, it was tough only the first two to four days and that's because she felt the need of holding something in her hand after lunch/dinner or when she's enjoying company etc.. but after after 5 days it all went okay.
You can stop, you will suffer for few days, 1week at most, but you can manage to quit if you want. That's the whole point.

Because I generally dislike people telling me what to do. Even if I'm aware they are right, out of spite I will do the opposite thing, even if it means a negative impact on myself. I have my father to thank for that and I wish someday he'll realize it.
That is true, some REALLY do exaggerate and make a whole drama out of it, I have no case there.
Like I said, quitting is definitely possible, it's not the hardest thing in the world...but, it has it's setbacks and issues. It's not as easy as non-smokers believe. Lucky exceptions are always there.

I already said, I'm not trying to quit currently. I'm a happy smoker for now. I also said, I smoked for 5 years and I quit for 2.5 years and did it pretty easily, so I'm not trying to justify something that happened to me. What it all comes down to is annoyance that comes from non-smokers, and the use of words; weaklings, it's all in your head, etc. What's so hard to understand? It's like you get annoyed when Muslims try to justify their religion to you.
Non-smokers aren't allowed to have an opinion? Do I need to smoke two packs now and return back to you to take into consideration what I'm posting? Please...
Just like you are addicted to cigarettes I'm addicted to other things, I can quit these things without making it like it's the biggest step ever nor like I'm suffering to quit.
That's all, stop mentioning over and over again how non smokers shouldn't have a word in this. Lame.

That's not what I said at all. You're allowed to have a word in everything, but you're not fucking smoking are you? So how the heck do you know what it's like to smoke or quit smoking? It's not something you can reasonably judge for crying out loud because you're NOT doing it.
I had a number of discussions with Martin about this, who is a hardcore anti-smoker and has a very hard opinion about it, but what it comes down to; he's not smoking and he doesn't wanna inhale other people's toxin. That's something I can understand, even though I don't agree. But never once did he tell me; smoking is not an addiction, if you can't quit you're weak, etc. It's obviously something he has no knowledge about as he never smoked in his life.

Chill out man, I was joking!
BTW Seven, it's not all in your head. 2-3 days after I stopped smoking, I had pains in my stomach, headache, a bit of fever, constipation and severe coughing. I've suffered from these before, but not all of them at the same time. There had to be a connection, and it was cos I quit smoking.
