Just quietly ignore it and move on; not everyone needs to hear about what you find distasteful.

I find your perception of this blog post bizarre. Who is asking for credit for quitting? Who is making this an event in the history of internet culture?

I've made a habit of putting myself through nicotine withdrawal (I like the on-edge feeling, yes I'm weird), and smokers who quit deserve a lot of credit. It's hard, and I don't think anyone who hasn't been through it would understand how hard it is.

If you're assuming I haven't gone through nicotine withdrawal myself then that's mistaken.
