I can understand it! That's what my dad used to say, that what got him hooked on cigarettes was the sensation it gave when he inhaled. But of course it is possible to quit, a positive example is an uncle, he smoked about two boxes a day of red Marlboro, horrible... one day more than 15 years ago he had a serious respiratory problem and the doctor told him: either you quit or you die, and he quit from one day to another, without replacing it with anything, it was admirable his mental strength, and of course his health improved enormously!
And yes, I know that in Greece the scenario is terrible, I was born and raised in Venezuela, I live here, but my parents are Greek, I lived there for a few years in my childhood and I have gone several times on vacation. Clearly I see it as a public health problem, too many smokers! But I'm sure you can free yourself from that! Cheers! 😉
