Is it any wonder many smokers feel they should quit?  Many pretend to ''want'' to quit simply to avoid lectures, harassment and even outright bullying from the ''authorities'' and  their peers.

Smokers represent at least one quarter of the adult world population.  If 70% of those remaining smokers truly '' wanted'' to stop smoking  not only most of them would put the necessary effort to accomplish it like millions have done it ''cold turkey'' before them,  but it is reasonable to believe that there would be more grassroots political pressure from them for  governments to make it as difficult, inconvenient, costly and even illegal to smoke.  There isn't, or at least there aren't any loud or publicized organized groups of smokers pushing for such measures.  The only pressure governments  are getting comes from the professional  anti-smokers, from  corporate vested interests – mainly the pharmaceutical industry – and from some ordinary citizens emotional over having lost someone to a disease suspected to have been caused by smoking.
