I think that will is directly related to ones individuality. Group mentality sucks the will from people. A person relies on the group instead of themselves and that will "muscle" gets weak. Once a person understands themselves and decides who they are, their will can then be joined with those of like mind to accomplish greater things. Per the smoking analogy, I quit one day after years of abuse by deciding not to anymore. No relapse, no urges. I found that to wake up in the middle of the night with my lungs aching, then it's not to hard to decide that smoking isn't that good an idea. I guess you could say that will is mind over whatever. "Your Jedi mind tricks will not work on me."
