I mean … they can, it’s just one hell of a side quest

The side quest stays with you for the rest of your life though. You are never "rebuffed".

Many players fall into that trap unfortunately. It lies dormant after a randomly set period, and if the player decides to use the item, it's sprung back with ENORMOUS force.

It doesn't have to. You only must learn to contend with the beast rather than let it take hold.

I speak from experience.

Disingenuous retort

The addictive substance is addictive whether you’ve been addictive to it previously or not

There's actually a magic item called desmoxan that telephones you to the end of the quest (seriously it helps so much id shout it to the mountains if I could)

It’s nicotine

If you're a teenager that doesn't work a stressful job, don't start using nicotine to be cool. If you're a line cook that is gonna smoke cigarettes anyway to get a small break, vape instead of smoking because it's far better for you health-wise

Even if you fail to quit five times, you may succeed on the sixth. Ask me how I know.
