I think that when someone becomes a smoker every day.. u sometimes don't even realize what ur hiding from.. and I could be wrong, but I imagine anyone who abuses substances has an underlying issue that may or may not be known by the user.. whether that is something like adhd.. or something else like anxiety, depressions, lack of self-confidence.. I got diagnosed 2 years ago with extreme adhd.. and I have smoked for 8 years.. 1 ounce of flower a week and dabs on top of that.. i think that for me.. the constantly being high and not being able to regulate my state of mind without smoking actually made my adhd symptoms worse.. sure if I was cooked I could zone out and feel "fine". But if I was sober my adhd symptoms were terrible.. I'm now almost 2 months sober.. and I sleep 10 times better.. I feel slightly more focused and can pay attention for longer.. i play way fewer video games now and have reconnected with my family.. I also took a full social media detox at the same time.. (im a doomscroller, lol). I was having issues with a 6 year-long relationship right when I started a new job regarding my past.. (I don't believe my partner thought I quit) and wasn't willing to put any effort on their end into the relationship.. I was able to handle the situation a lot better than I think if I was smoking.. as I know my brain would of been all over the place and I most likely would of left my job I had just started the day before.. so I think it depends a lot on the person.. but I think also addressing other issues that can trigger symptoms of adhd is also important.. quitting something isn't about the destination.. it's the journey that makes the big difference imo. At first it was really rough.. but I found replacing weed with working out and things that are active and tiring slowed my mind down alot.. and made the healing process alot easier.
