If there can be relapses like this (for him, it had been 14 years), then their claims are not accurate.

If there can be relapses?
Not that I totally disagree... but geez, you can say that about any behavior. Sure, in some cases, what they say is probably accurate. "Rehabilitation" as they call it might actually work for some. On the other hand, I'm sure there are relapses.
Just because some people take up smoking again after having not smoked for years doesn't prove that you can't quit smoking.
