What's up with the HN community? Do you really not know what he means? Absurd how many users love being pedantic here to try and +1 someone else.

  Of course I knew what he meant. I wasn't being pedantic, I was trying to point out that "I'm a horrible person when not on nicotine" probably isn't the GP's natural state. To put it differently, I'm not surprised when people feel worse and act worse when suffering from withdrawal. It just makes me sad when people use that to justify their relapse.

    It's really self-medication for me. Nicotine is what helps me cope with my irritability, partially caused by ADHD. You might laugh at this, but there is actual research that nicotine can help - http://discovermagazine.com/2014/march/13-nicotine-fix http://discovermagazine.com/2014/march/13-nicotine-fix

      Fair enough. There's also medicinal value in LSD and marihuana, so I'm not going to challenge you on that.
