Misc Nicotine (not addictive to me)

^agreed... you guys seem to be defining 'addictive' by how enticing it is to increase your habit and how serious it is to quit. I've heard countless junkies here and elsewhere talk about how it was easier to quit dope than cigarettes.

Smoke 2-3 packs a day in your house, your car, at work, at school, etc. for a good decade and tell me cigarettes aren't addictive when you want to quit.

But still you can't disagree with me that opiates/benzos/alcohol are the MOST addictive/physical depending drugs and the worst drugs to 'withdrawal' from...

I kicked a 2mg/day Klonopin habit for a week (at a doctor's suggestion) and did OK, then got a mild panic attack...2 other doctors suggested reducing it 0.5mg/week.
 
I have heard this exact thing from friends of mine,

not addicted, can stop whenever, could never get addicted to it. etc etc.

they were young, they learnt there lesson.

i would hazard a guess, that most here with this belief are young, under 25.

Keep up, not being addicted to cig's and see where you are at 30.

a crazy addiction, i know people who smoke 4 packs a day!!!!
very pointless in my eyes,

I also just dont get the whole, "I dont need cigarettes, I dont crave them" etc, yet, they are still smoking them ?

sounds addicted to me.. not all addictions are completely uncontrollable
 
OK guys...Read the title of this thread - "Not Addictive to me"

And yes, i have smoked enough to become addicted, theres been times in the past where i would smoke a pack of cigs every 2-3 days for like a 6months - 1 year straight... My friends all are baffled on how I can put them down and not even think twice about smoking one. They ask "How can you just stop like this whenever you want?" ... Anyways the point of this thread was just to see if anyone else out in the BL community had the same experience with smoking cigs as i have had...
 
If you're smoking upwards of 1/2 a pack a day for a year, then it really doesn't matter if you're addicted or not. I also smoked that much, was addicted, and like you, quit.

The only difference is that I found it more difficult. We both still both blew lots of money and risked our health.
 
i wish i wasnt addicted to nicotine so i could stop smoking, its the most pointless thing to smoke ever, it has no effects and kills you.... wonderful eh
 
nicotine (smoking) is the only drug im addicted too, ive done MANY MANY opiates, coke, Pure mdma and tabs, almost all benzos, and anything i forgot, you see i can weekend warrior (for coke like its more like less then once a month warrior) everything fine! but if i run out of cigs i have to start rolling the buts outta my ashtray(i know its gross) but canadian smokes cost 10.50 which is insane compared to the u.s or anywere so sometimes food/other shit comes before smokes do ya kno?

crazy discussion on addiction i love reading peoples opinions ,experience's and knowledge, first of to the op it is awesome you dont have that need for smokes but and this is a big butt for me was remembering back to when i could go mths without a cigarette gawd with all my heart i wish i would have used that as a gift but unfortunately for me i didnt just stop i just thought i could quit when i wanted to and bang a yr or two later looking back at myself thinking why the hell didnt you quit while you were ahead,
by the way i am not sure of where i read this but nicotine is somewhat physically addicting, not remembering what happens really and but i do believe that somehow you do go through a physical thing,
same with coffee, if i dont drink coffee i feel literally confused when i couldnt have caffeine, and also had the worst headaches,
also the op i am glad you changed what you posted about opiates being the only addictive substance,,,, because if you know much about physical addiction you will know that alcohol and benzo addiction are worst be cause they are fatal,
to me addiction is very personal and i remember sitting in rehab after rehab watching the freaking coke ,meth, pot and crack heads and wondering why the hell were they even here, especially when i would get a roomate who would sleep non stop around the clock, eat everything in site, while i was lucky to sleep half an hour and couldnt eat or barely talk to anyone,
i still tend to judge i do i wont lie but then who am i to say someone isnt feeling something or going through there own pain,
sorry for going through the rant but i love discussions like this, i was just talking with my barely fourteen yr old daughter about smoking and trying to get her to look at it like how much money it costs and all that jazz but i now remember when my own parents said same thing,
man having to learn things on your own pain sucks sometimes, its a cliche but i wish i knew then what i know now ashla
 
Me too if only i quite smoking while i were ahead, ofcourse i started smoking in the early teens and thought "no way will i get addicted everyone els just has no willpower" and low and behold now i am here.

PS: tell your daughter about how you started smoking, give her story about how nicotine addiction got ahold of you.
 
I am currently on day 5 of kicking smokes. I can't do it anymore, the financial and health issues. I have only been smoking regularly roughly 3 yrs. I have been through pretty much every other kind of withdrawal you can think of over the years, and this is one of the worst. I feel horrible. It feels most similar too a Xanax withdrawal, which I suffered (THANKS, DOC!) roughly 6 months ago. Funny thing is, I started smoking in rehab. Insomnia (always a life long issue), bowel disruption, severe depression and worsening anxiety are all factors here, for me, personally. Christ, I "kind-of" want a cigarette, but i don't, much like the benzos.

One thing, though, I have noticed, is that my craving for opiates has absolutely skyrocketed, at a level that I have not really experienced it at in months. I love opiates, and only (these days, at least) do them a couple times a month. Funny, tonight I had a couple bucks and could find nada, so (fairly uneventful) poppy seed tea it was (the pods were LONG gone). It helped with the anxiety for a bit, plus the noticabely increased cannibus consumption.

NO, it is NOTHING like an opiate withdrawal. I know, I've been through some bad ones. HOWEVER, this sucks something awful.

To all you pack a day non-addicts, good luck. I could do that off and on for years in my mid twenties, too.
 
ive been smoking since 14yrs old... was hooked at 15. If i could go back in time and have maturity of an adult that i have now (well for the most part) at the age of 14 i wouldnt have tried that first pack if i go 3 hours without one (unless im sleeping) i get very very nasty and edgy, i can usually contain my nastyness but sometimes it creeps out.
 
I smoked cigarettes when I'm bored. I don't smoke them if theres no one around. After I do another drug I'll tend to avoid them though, the small rush they give isn't worth my lungs turning blacker than they are. :)

I don't think I'm addicted, I refuse cigarettes most of the time. I do secondhand a lot though. I don't think its true that secondhand is worst, right? It seems downright illogical and something that policymakers are simply lying about.
 
evil thing hang on man that is awesome and i know what you mean to me quitting smokes is way harder, when i was in jail i was kicking methadone , xanax and cigarettes and i of course wanted the done and xanax but i really fucking fiended for smokes, it is weird,

oh and SyR1S god i wish my daughter could learn from my mistakes she knows about my addictions even though she never seen me shoot heroin or stuff like that she has been through hell with me, her real dad ,and her step dad , she knows everything and i am freaking petrified because she is a smaller version of me at that age and god two yrs from now when she is sixteen, that is when i picked up the needle , we have my daughter in counseling now and she blames everything on my addiction, she is fourteen so whatever she could use to justify her actions she does, i dont let her do that with me but she is not in my custody yet she is with my parents because her and i fight so much but we are doing counseling together, it is also hard to tell her things like not doing things because i feel like a hypocrite, i mean i dont do illegal drugs anymore and i have been of the needle for almost three yrs but i still drink and take suboxone and adderall (which i am thinking of quitting ) oh well sorry to hijack this thread op ashla

It's unfiltered smoke, albeit not as concentrated as taking a direct drag. It's best to limit your exposure to it.
 
I usually only smoke when I'm stoned. As a general rule, I never exceed 1 pack a week. Been at this pace for about 2 years now. Some days I'll smoke 2 cigs, somedays I won't. Dunno, I figured I'd get cravings for them by now but the only times I do is when I'm in a movie theater watching actors smoke cigs and acting like it's morphine.
