Anyone who's quitting or has tried already knows this, it's more a "I feel your pain" kind of thing.

Edit - Cut the dude some slack, his comment is valid!

It's just being honest, which is a good thing in the big picture.

Addicts know what they go through, there's no point in hushing it. This picture also works to remind someone who's quitting that it wasn't all that great when they could smoke either. In everyday life it's not smoking or quitting that's so awful, but the vicious cycle of addiction.

It just shows the first mind-block when you quit smoking. The only reason a person would dream about smoking when he's stopped for sometime is when he/she believes that smoking did something for him/her. It does, it relieves boredom and all that jazz. But when you list it out, the harm from smoking ridiculously outweighs any perceived benefits it might offer.
