Of late, I've seen and heard people actually say/write that nicotine is not addictive and that it is only a matter of "no willpower" that anyone smokes or over-eats.
There are tens of millions who live a life that indicates that the "no willpower" attitude is wrong.
Think for yourself. Find a good and kind medical doctor or professional practitioner and listen. Think for yourself.
Remember that people are human, and they're sometimes wrong. But, in general, your doctor is a good adviser and does care about your long-term prospects.
Be well. Be real. Be kind. Be kind to yourself.

Still nicotine-free, heart lightening, decent weight control
I'm doing OK these days. Today had some sad emotional thoughts for my bro and kids... for me, too.
No nicotine. Period.
Funny... I've had thoughts of leaving work for a few minutes to buy junk food. I don't ever think of sneaking away from work to get cigarettes. I just don't have the desire.
My current life has no room for tobacco. My current life has no room for another addiction. My current life is full - my cup runneth over in so many good ways.
I'm still hovering around 207 pounds (in the "healthy" BMI, according to the US gov't). I wish that the belly jigglies weren't there, but I'm in great shape and don't get winded unless I'm really very physical.
Roll with me. Stay free of nicotine. Listen to your MD. Eat well and make sure you have the right mix of supplements, sunshine, and fresh air.
Move more. Eat less. Don't use nicotine.
Pax everyone.

Almost like it never happened: Nicotine is not your friend
Interestingly enough, Nicotine is not your friend. Capische? It's a seriously-addicting drug that trains the brain to love it.
Today, it's almost like I never smoked. I've been nicotine-free for more than 5 years now. No looking back. The nicotine monster doesn't live here any more.
Talk to a competent medical professional and find a way to understand what your quitting options are and how to find support.
