There is no doubt that quitting smoking or nicotine products is incredible difficult for some people. The worst thing about nicotine is how it alters reality so much. It’s like a science fiction mind control nightmare. From the outside I see people standing in the cold with a burning bit of crap in their mouth. To them it is among the most important thing in their lives. It is why I think we should ban commercial sale of nicotine completely, whether through smoking or vaping. I’m not directing this at you personally, but I’m sick of hearing mind hacked smokers complaining about how hard it is to quit and how good their lives were standing in the cold with a burning piece of crap in their mouth. You want to grow your own tobacco and smoke it, be my guest. But letting someone make money from hacking your brain permanently? That is madness. If the brain was a software product you would urgently patch the nicotine receptor as a critical vulnerability.
