> Same reason as to why a lot of people smoke, they cant bear being bored for 5 minutes. Its incredibly easy to quit too
For you information, nicotine is generally considered a highly addictive substance (see for instance: https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/drugs-a-to-z)
Although various people do seem to experience it very differently, and some indeed have reported to me that they feel almost no addiction. From others, I've heard such things as "I've quit smoking 30 years ago, and for 30 years I've been craving for a cigaret". My personnal experience is that it takes a good, dedicated several weeks long effort to quit; I haven't had a lot of addictions in my life but this one was by far the hardest to get rid of. But the effect of nicotine, or lack thereof, are benign, maybe that's why it gives you the impression that it's not very addictive. Turns out, the most addictive substances are not necessarily the ones with the strongest effects.
As to who is lacking discipline, well I guess we would all be better off with more discipline. Including you, who lack the discipline to do the mental work to research a topic you know little about before you comment on it, and most importantly the mental work needed to see things from other's perspective. ;)
