Addiction.

"Nicotine is highly addictive, comparable to heroin or cocaine."

AND circumstance... if all of your friends smoke... and drink... and socialize in bars... you will have a VERY hard time kicking the habit. You will have to walk away from your friends for a good long time, you'll have to quit drinking and you'll have to stop going to bars.

BUT even then, it can still be done.
