No, you know that most people who attempt to quit "cold turkey" decide that quitting smoking permanently isn't as important as relieving their current symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Its a minor point but an important distinction.
- EpicEng 9y agoSo, in other words... it doesn't work. Yours is in fact a completely unimportant distinction unless you're using it to support ecigs because... ...guess what they get with ecigs? A far safer alternative which allows them to continue their nicotine habit and enjoy the pleasures of smoking. So you're in support of ecigs now?
- KekDemaga 9y agoPeople should be able to consume what they want, but what you argue is like saying a chemotherapy doesn't cure cancer because patients give up on it after it makes them feel ill.
- EpicEng 9y agoIf ~90% of patients did actually give up on it in reality then yes, I would say that because it wouldn't work for 90% of patients. The medical community would move away from it. Of course, that's not the reality. every single one of your arguments are hypothetical metaphors that have no connection to the facts of the issue at hand. You have no practical solutions. You're only answer is for people to 'toughen up'. Quite the problem solver you are.
- KekDemaga 9y agoIs it ever appropriate for people to engage in self determination or should the lack of an easy solution always be an excuse for an individuals actions?
- EpicEng 9y agoSure, who said it was never appropriate. Sometimes it's the best and/or only course of action. Sometimes it's not, like right here.
