Yeah... you're addicted.
I'm not addicted I could quit if I wanted to.
I stopped telling myself that twenty years ago... at one point or the other, even I couldn't believe it any more.
you clearly just want to keep smoking, skill issue
You are technically correct, which as we all know is the best kind of correct.
Clearly.
Prove it. Quit for a month. Then you'll have proven you're not addicted. And by that time you'll also have realized that you don't really need it after all.
OP probably couldn't even quit for a week, let alone a month. They'd have a "hard" day and give themselves a pass or some shit.
How do you know? They may be different from your average smoker
Do it then
Same, I could quit Lemmy if I wanted to. I just don't want to be bored so I spend 24 hours a day doom scrolling Lemmy. I'm totally not addicted!
/s
Then do it.
