I have very little patience for people who can't or won't do the hard thing. Like, yeah withdrawal is going to suck but sometimes you have to do something unpleasant to get something better.

I mostly keep it to myself though. A lot of people have this problem. Not just about smoking.

Conversations like

"I'm so tired I don't know why."

"When did you go to sleep and get up?"

"Uh sleep at like 3am and up at 7am."

"Well that explains it. Why up so late?"

"... YouTube videos."

"You should probably stop staying up so late watching videos so you're not exhausted all day."

"No."

But I mostly keep it to myself because there's not really anything I can do to make someone listen.
