    From someone who has smoked and quit, I was really blind sided by how addictive nicotine was. People talk about adults and what they put in there body but nicotine really is a different monster

      I never felt the same buzz after my first cigarette, it felt like I was fucking drunk after my first smoke lol.

      After that I was basically just chasing the dragon, I was smoking about 15-30 cigarettes a day for about 1-2 years. Never again.

      Huh. I gave it a try, and while drunk, i just went on and on, but overall it just smelled so bad that it never became a habit. I guess i’m lucky

      What I don’t see is why smoking should be the main nicotine delivery device when it can easily be done without the cancerous smoke.

      Isolated nicotine is apparently not cancerous. We just choose to enforce the continued coupling of nicotine and cancer, and refuse to permit alternatives that decouple if from cancer if their dosage isn’t pitiful.

      “Either get the weak alternatives, or the cancerous ones.”

      The moderate non-cancerous alternatives are illegal.
