Yes. Definitely.
I find that my addiction made me incredibly complacent and lazy. The fact that I quit again and again basically after every pack that I finished depressed and stressed me -it never worked. I craved it. If I didn't smoke for too long life started losing meaning.
This is all still there to an extent. But I'm adjusting. It's getting better.
I know for a fact it was the smoking because of how much better I feel and how I change after I quit it for long periods of time. I start finding other things rewarding instead. That's an essential part of it too.
