The only problem with the "take full responsibility" approach is the negligence of proper knowledge. A person may want to stop smoking, but not which way is best for them to do so... by replacing the old habit with a new, or going cold-turkey, by going to a clinic, or what have you. Simply having the desire is not enough, secondly suppose they are comfortable in their choice (the "comfort zone", no matter how painful it may be), and may not fully realize they have a problem until something about it affects them in a startling way, awakening them to reality.
