Do you mean there is an easy way for which we have to try hard?

easy way is think that it is harmfull and your brain will tell ya that dont smoke anymore, think of your money spending on it, health. but you have to try hard for stoping yourself to smoke again.

On practical grounds, just have a look at what stats say. The success rate for people opting for 'cold turkey' staretgy is as low as 5%
. That means the factors you mentioned above as genes, environment, influence, culture (& metabolism) etc etc, 95% of people can't get the right drive and have to take the U-turn 
I think gradual drop with a strong & total commitment can help most.

Well you can say that, that's why addiction to any substance at all should be seen as a DISEASE and should be treated as one, meaning with proper process,medication and help from the experts could or might lead to treatment, "cold turkey"is a dangerous path to go with , possibility of withdrawal is present which is putting your life in danger, however substitution or reduction method tend to lessen the possibility of relapse; but the main point here is within the hand of his/her own, no one can stop him forcefully but him self no matter what path he/she takes its his/her call, the factors that I've stated are the things that may lead into nicotine addiction; the answer to the question "Why do people smoke", people do tend to get a low drive with this but if your willing enough with the proper intervention method you'll make it.

Not quite the situation my friend,
you can say being addicted to nicotine is like smoking emerging to your normal biological needs, it has the same effect as with food , whenever you are hungry your mouth water's and your stomach grumble, same as with smoking, whenever you find the urge to smoke your mouth also water and you feel uneasy with it , basically in due time of smoking it becomes a part of your daily routine and life and your mind and body keeps looking for it and takes over your whole being and eventually surrendering to it , quite a more complicated issue than the society perceived.

Used to be a smoker, now im into VAPING (E-CIGIGARTTE), and it worked well for me , now i only smoke 1 stick a month just to try if relapse will occur but now a days i cant even finish a stick , hope the other guys find their way out of it

thats one of my problem before bro, i used to have this bond with my colleagues and only happend in cigarette break, cant say no to invitations like that, but when i started vaping ive realized that it can be substituted + i don't run out of smoke only batteries LOL; atleast for me thats the scenario..

But lots of that diabetes is type 1. Genetic.

even here it CAN be same if someone think, now adays tires of my car are almost few months near to burst, before a month i was thinking if i quit smoke for 4 month after four months i can replace all 4 tires with the money i saved from quitng smoke, not all 4 atleast i saved for one tire
