"A first-time would-be smoker has more free will on deciding whether to smoke the next cigarette than a 20-years smoker." Does this make sense with your definition of free will? If it doesn't, what is free will for you? (Thinking how to phrase something for a future essay)
No. decisions are made 3 ways: 1) random/unexplainable/divine 2) deterministic ie thé decision you make is predetermined by whatever molecules you have in your brain and their positions 3) choice or free will Smoker and non-smoker are same regardless of 1, 2, or 3
Addiction to nicotine should matter regarding to (2). Like, addiction literally means that there are some synapses in your brain that wouldn't be there if one weren't addicted.
I agree and don’t believe that is a contradiction of what I wrote.
Free will is the idea that humans can control their next thought in their brain and then use it to optimize the future for them whether it’s an enjoyable cigarette and perhaps a shorter life or a tough craving and perhaps a longer life.
You could easily have a spectrum of input from those three choices. Even if you have fully independent free will, you might have memories and those memories will affect you allegedly freedom to will.
A smoker has muscle memory for smoking that heavily weights their choice to continue smoking. It’s physiological like hunger or thirst. You have more freedom of will to drink something or not when you are not thirsty versus when you are thirsty.
That freedom of will bring whichever higher level freedom is given to your body, CNS, brain, mind, consciousness, and agency when not under the influence of a very easily measured biological process with clear deterministic processes.
