- codr7 5y agoBecause nicotine is not addictive, deal with it.
- nemosaltat 5y agoCould you expand on this a bit?
- codr7 5y agoI've been seriously addicted to commercial tobacco, and quit. All I can say is it's not the same thing, Nicotine in itself doesn't seem to be a problem.
- sabellito 5y agoI think I'm not getting what you're saying, because what I understood is not making sense. You're saying that: 1. Nicotine is not addictive (and that I should deal with it) 2. You are not addicted to nicotine 3. You produce and smoke a nicotine-based product Is that right?
- helloworld11 5y agoI'll second this, based entirely on personal anecdotal evidence alone: Heavy smoker here, at least a pack a day, and it has to be commercial, industrially manufactured cigarettes. I've tried every form of natural tobacoo you can imagine and none of them satisfy. I've also tried purely nicotine gums and patches, as well as vaporizers, with no serious reduction in cravings for...... commercial, industrially produced cigarettes. Nicotine surely is addictive to a certain extent, but I suspect it's something else, something much more intensely addictive in commercial cigarettes that really creates the powerful cravings. Another possibility: Different smokers are just prone to different highly specific variations of addiction.
- hutzlibu 5y agoSo how do you feel, when you don't smoke for a day?
- codr7 5y agoNothing, at least nothing compared to regular tobacco which is my main point of reference since I have been addicted to it and quit.
- codr7 5y agoActually it's way stronger if prepared properly (by dipping leaves in a thick tobacco paste during fermentation). Still, not addictive at all from my experience.
