It's really difficult to separate out mental and physical addiction. There are many misconceptions, including that mental addiction is somehow "less bad" than physical addiction. Trust me, physical addiction sucks, but the mental is the real battle. Cigs create an MAOI that is synergistic with nicotine. That is why, IMO, I needed much higher nicotine from a vape to quit smoking. This is clearly a stupid idea. Cure alcoholism by drinking nonalcoholic beer? It shows a complete lack of understanding of how addiction works.
