Lots of people who smoke live to ripe old ages in perfect health. True, but this is rare. Nearly all smokers have significant health problems. Smoking is one of my pleasures. I don't want to quit.
Smoking is associated with pleasure because the nicotine in tobacco is an addictive drug.
Your body will continue to crave a regular supply until you can overcome the habit. Smoking is always a disadvantage to your health and that of your loved ones. It is your choice. The main reasons they gave for quitting were wanting to stay healthy, doctor's advice, regaining control of their lives, and making a loved one happy.
