I think your study fails to distinguish physical and mental addiction. There are no physical withdrawal effects from quitting, even after smoking regularly for years, other than lucid dreams and maybe a mild headache.  But lots of people are psychologically addicted (which isn't necessarily any better).
From: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/news/20080507/withdrawal-symptoms-from-smoking-pot (A study of a group of long-term pot smokers):
A total of 42.4% experienced at least one withdrawal symptom -- most commonly, cravings, irritability, boredom, anxiety, and sleep disturbances -- when they tried to quit. Of those who reported withdrawal symptoms, 78.4% said they started smoking pot again to reduce them. Overall, 33.3% of participants resumed cannabis use to reduce or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
