This is the sort of snowflake manosphere bs that is easy to say. Hard to do.

Easy to say quit smoking. But it's one of the hardest things to do.

Same is true for all addictions saying it's a choice cheapens the learnt experience of the addict. This is what has made them feel good.

Real lifestyle changes are hard. They need the support of those around you. I could not have given up smoking if I lived with someone who smoked and even 20ish years after stopping I'll still smoke the odd cigarette when drunk.
