This is a bit silly. You never developed an addiction to cigarettes so you were able to easily quit smoking them. Well, yeah, of course.

The hard part is quitting something when you want to but cannot make yourself i.e. addictions are what is hard to quit.

The majority of people are able to smoke, drink, eat, and fornicate without developing an addiction. The people that become addicted are the outliers.

Are the majority of people able to smoke without developing an addiction? That's not been my experience growing up. I only know three people total who quit cold turkey and I'm one.

That's interesting, though.

The parent comment is being downvoted for some reason, even though the viewpoint is exactly the same as the original article.

Oh and now I'm being downvoted for pointing out a fact. Well done HN. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
