pleasure is very strong motivation.
food with fat in it tastes good to us because it has high energy content, which was essential to hunters and gatherers who couldn't get much food. it's nature's way of rewarding them.
sex is pleasurable because it's nature's way of rewarding procreation. if it didn't feel good, who would do it?
gambling is pleasurable because you get the chance to gain something without having to work for it. sure, you might lose all you have, but that doesn't register in the face of immediate results.
this is why miracle diet pills and exercise machines don't go out of business.
at the end of the day, we are all hedonists who live for pleasure. we might suffer in the long run, but then and again, we might not wake up tomorrow either.
whether we play it safe, go crazy, or find our personal balance in between, it depends on a mix of biological and environmental factors. some of us are wired to seek pleasure more than others. some of us are brought up to deny ourselves pleasure more than others.
that's all there really is to it.

Same here. But I do have to admit the gum Guardian sells (not Nicorette, I'm sure it's a different one) does work. I take one, I'm not able to stand the smell of tobacco for at least a few days.
Actually only humans and dolphins get pleasure from sex.
That doesn't make any sense.
It's not a choice to "believe" in addiction.
It's a fact.
You can physically get addicted to nicotine... and a whole slew of other drugs. It's not my opinion, it's medically proven.
As for smoking.
1.Nothing morally wrong with it.
2.Makes you die faster.
3.Makes you relaxed.

How did a subject as mundane as smoking become so cheem and deeeep? 
I remember vividly the first time I had the misfortune of kissing a heavy smoker's lips.
Saying it was gross will be a severe understatement.

couldn't have put it better myself.
it sounds weird/nonsensical but true.
when the nights are long and lonely and you've nothing but your thoughts, a cigarette (and a hot cup of coffee) does help brighten the darkness.

how does that change my point?
humans, great apes such as chimpanzees and dolphins have the intelligence to make conscious decisions. as such, pleasure becomes a primary motivation in making those decisions.
lesser intelligent beings don't need pleasure to drive them to do it, they do it out of sheer instinct.

customs are knocking on the door, bro
All addictions, no matter how deep-seated, can be overcome by the power of the mind. All addictions are in essence, mental crutches.
You are wrong to think of addiction as an "illness", as an unfortunate and chance affliction that requires the administration of an "antidote".
How do you think they wean hardcore addicts off their substances?
By forcing cold-turkey on them i.e. depriving them of the substance in question.
Thus, if an junkie(cigs, weed, porn, whatever) could have the perseverance and determination to break through the mental barrier, he will definitely see the end of his addiction.
