Quitting smoking.

Not to be rude here but how do people get addicted to smoking? And have such a hard time stopping.
I smoked a cigar last night and dont really feel the need for more. Same with alcohol.

I got addicted to cigarettes when I was a kid, (12), it was the cool thing to do. You usually don't get addicted after one or two. It takes a little time. Well, after a while you just have to have a smoke so you do. It gets to the point where your mind can make you ill if you try to quit as well as the body reacting to the lack of nicotine. That part only lasts a little while. Then it is the habits that made you want a smoke that you have to learn to control. Like having a smoke right after you eat or when you have a beer. Those are the hard ones for me.
