Well, you started smoking at some point for some reason. Either social pressure or you liked it. Not calling you stupid, or saying that you are entirely wrong, but maybe consider that another smoker is at a different spot than you, right now. We humans like to repeat the mistakes of others. I want to congratulate you for stopping!

Nah, when I was smoking I was truly enjoying the process. It was bad, obviously, but I fucking loved it. It was also a period where smoking was cool, so not only it was pleasant, but I looked cool doing it. And because it worsens your sense of smell, even downsides weren’t perceived badly. I’m so glad it’s finally over, but I’m glad about it *now*, not *then*.

It’s like anything that makes us feel good. Smoking genuinely makes users feel good.

Exactly this, I have smoked for years and absolutely HATED that I smoke. It’s a blessing to be non-smoker. The pro-smoking arguments are usually really dumb like “it’s for socializing” or “helps me release stress” or “allowing me to have a break” - all rubbish and can be debunked in seconds
