You should email Assad and explain that to him. :) Stubbornness, ego, pride and self delusion are common traits among tyrants.

Heck even Kofi Annan has publicly said the regime will fall.

Assad only cares for money as it serves power. Power is the drug.

Every situation is different so the cigarette example doesn't apply. Assad probably thought he learned from Mubarak and Gaddafi's mistakes. He did, in some ways, but not enough. Now, he is going to keep digging because he can't escape.
