... and that is also extremely bad advice. There is very wide variability in how nicotine addiction affects different people. Some people can quit after a pack-a-day habit and have no problems. Some people have trouble with getting off a pack-a-week habit.
Someone who is having extreme difficulty quitting smoking could benefit from working with a doctor to discuss quit-smoking aids or even seeing a therapist to work through their addiction.
No shit, the person needs to "just stop". Way to point out the obvious. Most people don't have a "just stop" button.
IDK, maybe you're just bad at giving advice. Maybe you should just stop.
EDIT: this is seriously an article on The Onion in the making. "Nation wakes up to random forum poster telling them to 'just eat less'. Obesity epidemic ends overnight." The proof is in the pudding here. Telling people "just eat less" is shitty advice.
People need to develop agency in actually doing something to lose weight which essentially comes down to eating less. It might be painful in the short term but is a huge benefit in the long term.
All I've found online is people giving excuses as to why one body type cannot do this or that, which essentially are the same reasons smokers give when trying to quit(too stressed, can't quit cold turkey etc).

Oh—absolutely! As I said, it’s hard, and frequently requires professional help, strategies, etc.
But, it ultimately comes down to, you have to find a way to quit! You shouldn’t let yourself off the hook.
