I read the book sometime ago & stopped smoking for 11 days . I had feelings of loss like if I was grieving . I started smoking again. I have re- read the book about 20 times in the last year and while I agree with every thing the book says I just cannot seem to get it to register in my brain.
7:10 yeah I've heard this before, very interesting point. However it reminds me of this quote "Hunger is the best sauce" which is to say that suffering and discomfort (like when you're hungry) is what makes life taste good. Putting on the tight shoes, just to feel relief might be a worthwhile endeavor sometimes. Like fasting can be worthwhile, even though its uncomfortable and causes suffering. This is an existential topic. But I think the real issue with smoking is that it often becomes an addiction. So you keep wearing the tight shoes EVER DAY. Whereas things like fasting or other methods of suffering/discomfort usually don't turn into addictions.

But with the shoes, you decide when you take off the shoes, the nicotine decides for you, no matter where are you. You lose control
