Didn't take me more than a month to quit smoking, is that just a habit rather than a real addiction in your eyes?

You're going to have a tough time arguing that compulsive behavior that the individual has difficulty stopping and often performs when they otherwise didn't intend to isn't addiction, just because they found a way to stop.

Again, I’m not saying porn addiction doesn’t exist.

I’m saying that the use of ‘addiction’ with porn is extremely overused and most people who claim to be addicted aren’t.

And for what it’s worth, I quit smoking after three years of up to 2 packs a day in a single day. Just made the decision and never craved them again. Every body handles substance dependencies differently. But porn addiction is different and the comparison is apples and oranges.
