I'm not entirely sure what you mean with that sentence...

Ah wait, addition should be addiction?

If so, it really doesn't change anything. Smoking has one of the least difficult withdrawal symptoms, if one really wants to quit he/she can do it without a doubt, though most people eventually don't seem to be as sure as they would like. There are more than enough examples of people who quit smoking without any problems after doing it for more than fifty years. It's all about the mentality one has towards it.

It's funny to me that you think quitting smoking is so easy, yet you've been doing it since you were twelve and haven't made any attempt to quit. I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that you couldn't go one week without a cigarette.

And yes, cigarettes are absolutely addictive. They have nicotine. Nicotine is very addictive.

The reason for me not to quit is just that I don't want to quit, simple as that.
Anyhow, concerning your bet, what is a lot of money? I'll quit smoking a week for a thousand euro's if you're up for that bet ;)
Be warned though, gambling is addictive too!

Yes, it is addictive, but as mentioned before, the withdrawal symptoms are one of the least difficult ones to handle, therefor it isn't that much of a challenge to quit smoking. It all bottles down to the willpower of the person in question.

I know plenty of people who have quit smoking, some of them had smoked for more than fifty years.

I can tell you that absolutely bullshit. It takes a lot of willpower and sometimes medication to quit but the rewards are great for doing so

Like John Daly fucks and George W. Bush frats.
A nation founded in the early 1800s by Federalist immigrants from the United States. Has since developed an identity of its own and imperial ambitions. Now a neoliberal imperial power that justifies its aggression by putting it the name of tolerance and social justice.

Yeah, no. Perhaps if you're mentally unstable or something, but the average person can quit at any given time as long as they really want to.

Please show me where I claimed that I wouldn't be able quit right now. Ah that's right, I never claimed such thing, so your "cliché" is completely pointless.
If you don't believe I can quit any time we can make that bet an official one; Seven days for a thousand euro's, take it or leave it.

1000 pesos isn't worth much here, but it could buy me a night of fun and debauchery across the border!

Marijuana is a depressant and actually has anti-psychotics in it, it's not a stimulant.

So how could it turn you psychotic?


If your marijuana has anti-psychotics in it, you need a new dealer fam.

I think what you mean is that marijuana might have anti-psychotic properties.

The entire reason for buying cigarettes or using tobacco products is to get the nicotine. Once ingested, people want more because it is addictive and that is the lion's share of why they become a repeat customer or don't quit for a long time statistically speaking. It takes willpower to stop the habit once someone starts it.


Doesn't explain why people start smoking, doesn't explain why people who aren't addicted to nicotine smoke nicotine.

I quit awhile a few years ago, never smoked a lot even then. I would normally just smoke a few fags if I was incredibly stressed beyond belief.

Sexy? I've heard smokers in the morning. I've smelled them. Nothing sexy about that.
