Been binge watching YELLOWSTONE.
Smoking has much in common with it.
Smoking addiction stands steady to do whatever it needs to do to convince you that you can never leave it ( smoking)....much like the cowboys that join the ranch...many are branded and pledge their allegiance to the Ranch , no matter what.
Smokers often fall into that category. Although many of us do find the freedom, the choice to leave the Ranch.
As much as I enjoyed, or thought I did, The Ranch, I am grateful for the greener pastures on the other side.
Don't buy into ( be fooled) by the Nicotine lie. Run away...run far far away.
Green pastures are a glorious choice over molded hay.....and yes, that's a metaphor.
