The last acceptable addiction. Hopefully that will change soon, especially since it's also one of the few that can affect the health of those around you.

Nicotine is not that bad - it's the crap that is in the cigarettes and tobacco that kills ya.

the "high" is not worth the cancer...

It's nasty, I don't like smoke.

Eh, not for me, but whatever floats your boat.

I'm on Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), this is the one drug that I find hard to shake.

It has been a known fact for decades now that nicotine is a factor in many cancers (depending on the form one uses it) and heart disease. It is also a known fact the second hand smoke is dangerous in its own way. I quit 18 years ago and am very glad for the no smoking in public building laws that many states are passing.

My problem is more with the most common way of using nicotine, than with nicotine itself. When you smoke, you force those around you to smoke. I guess I'll give the Grizz gang one thing. They can get as much nicotine as they want without affecting the people around them.

I was addicted to it for years, so I don't condemn. I only warn.

Nicotine by itself in high enough doses is lethal, the same as salvia and cyanide. However in very small doses its a pleasant drug. (Oh and they use tiny amounts of salvia in American spirits, does the same as nicotine) . Not good to get into it but if you want to thats chill, I need my smoke.

Thankfully, cigarettes were one vice I never really acquired a taste for, and I was always unsympathetic and intolerant towards those who couldn't kick the habit. As I got older, I became a bit more understanding and lost the smug, judgemental attitude. One of my late friends, very strong-willed in some ways, told me that he had attempted to stop smoking on numerous occasions and just couldn't. I think he had once stopped for a couple of months before giving in to the temptation and starting again (he died of a heart attack in his late 30's, although his ill health wasn't solely attributable to cigarettes...he was an equal-opportunity substance abuser). Awhile back, I used to go to a bar with a girlfriend, who smoked. For some reason, I liked having something in my hand as I drank, and on occasion I'd bum a cigarette off her. As time went on, even though the smoke hurt my eyes and the menthol burned my throat, I began bumming more and more of them off her until it became something of a standing joke between us. The lure of the cigarettes was insidious, and my craving grew slowly but surely until I couldn't have a drink without a cigarette. I finally decided, "This is ridiculous...like I don't abuse enough things already that can kill me", and stopped cold before the habit really enveloped me in a seriously dangerous way (the romance with my girlfriend didn't survive much longer than my romance with her cigarettes). Thankfully, the cigarette monkey was never able to get a firm grip on my back (anyway, it would have had to shove aside the alcohol monkey, the pill monkey, the opiate monkey, the...).

Please don't do drugs!

Usually just makes me feel sick
