If it was harmless, why would I care to break it?

If you strive to break a habit, it likely is because it has done harm, no?

Doesnt harm/kill OP, but OP wants to quit anyway.

They have identified that the habit is harmful. Not all harm is associated with pain or injury. You can cause a person practical/emotional/financial harm, and those are still forms of harm.

Because it may actually not be? And maybe you already know that it isnt harmless but it could still seem to be.
