I have never understood the attraction of something like nicotine which is for all practical purposes only useful for getting addicted to. If you are a teen and get hooked hard you have just voluntarily made yourself the bitch of whoever can provide you with nicotine. You will be paying them for the rest of your life. Why not pledge to contribute to a charity for the rest of your life instead? Do heroin and have a pleasant/uncomplicated/short life. What is so special about nicotine that people happily give themselves to it as opposed to all the other things one could get pointlessly addicted to?
