I've smoked tobacco on somewhere between 5 and 15 occasions over a decade since becoming an adult, but I didn't become a daily smoker or addicted to smoking. Am I just an extreme outlier?
- blueflow 5y agoAnother data point: I'm some kind of introvert, if i hang out with people, my social "battery" drains and i get tired. I smoke because it gives me much more time before my social "battery" is empty. I don't smoke otherwise. Right now i'm at two packs a year.
- ejolto 5y agoThat sounds like a lot to me, almost once a week. Then again it's normal to drink that often without being considered an alcoholic.
- girvo 5y agoA person would usually smoke more than one cigarette at an outing, so its more acute than chronic, I'd assume. Not sure what impact that would have in terms of health differences, but in terms of addiction potential it definitely would.
