I am pretty sure you would have made the same decision 10 or 20 years ago.
Well, first I would have to tell you that quitting smoking has always been the easiest thing in the world for me. Given that I at least, I ended up quitting smoking about six or seven times before. :)
This has very little to do with age
Yeah, I know, it has more to do with optimisms and false expectations typical of young people. That's why I told you everything I told you. Because it is basically impossible that you can see the future as I have already seen it.
but for those who have stubbornly let it go to far, it might be too late.

You seem to forget - I am not a spotty faced teen.
I have never forgotten it. But I do know that because of your age you could also easily be my son.
Everything I say to you is never to attack you, criticize you nor contradict you. I only do it so that you can contemplate many other possible perspectives that clearly are also very feasible for the future.
