That zeal.
From what I heared, anti-drug laws may be construed is that selling is a different matter and possession and production are accessory. That's why possession of small amounts of cannabis for example is decriminalized while traffiking is still prossecuted where I'm from.
This is arguable because addictive substances will be sold with the intention of creating dependence, not unlike the loot box topic, thus it cannot be argued that they act under good intentions.
And to be real, the wonderful smell acts on your parasympathic nervous system because of appetite, for the smell is associated with roasted food. Add to that the childish reflex of sucking on a nipple. So it is pretty much an eating disorder, in my humble opinion.

Add to that the childish reflex of sucking on a nipple. So it is pretty much an eating disorder, in my humble opinion. Even Freud once said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". There is no scientific basis for the whole "oral fixation", so calling it "childish" is pretty ignorant. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_stage https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_stage Edit: "Contradicting the Freudian psychosexual development concept of oral-stage fixation, the Duration of Breast-feeding and the Incidence of Smoking (2003) study of 87 participants reported no causal relation between the breast-feeding period and whether or not a child matures into a person who smokes."

- nmeofthestate 4y agoI think it's more likely the "great taste" is down to it being an addictive substance. If smoking animal dung got you high, people would probably rationalise about it tasting great as well.
- posterboy 4y agoI'm not saying that's wrong. I thought that's understood. I don't understand the processing in detail, far from it. I just mean, the point that the GP defended really makes it worse. Industrial manufacturers add tons to improve the taste like honey, licorice, probably stuff to negate the bad smell, like menthol. I'm convinced this contributes to the primary pathway because it's a primary instinct and this thought allows for a better comparison to alcohol - drink, dehydrate, drink more, repeat ad nauseam.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoI smoked for years, enjoyed the taste and was never addicted. Taste is subjective.
