I'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.
