It's only natural for addicts to claim that they enjoy the habit and

Sounds just like you with that glass of wine you so enjoy.


Do you think everyone who drinks alcohol is an alcoholic?

It was in reply to the addicts part. And yes, many who claim to simply
just enjoy a glass of wine - and it's always wine - are addicted.

The difference is that smoking is highly addictive (any regular smoker
that stops will experience cravings/withdrawal symptoms); serves no
useful purpose

it has a sedative effect (which you need to drink lots of coffee as an
antidote) and acts as an appetite suppressant.
