I've seen a million "most addictive" drugs lists. Online, on websites liken this, on YouTube and every single time Nicotine comes in at #1.
Anyone else call bullshit on this?
Nicotine is the LEAST addictive drug there is for me. Even bloody caffeine is more addictive than Nicotine. I've smoked ~20mg nicotine every day for a couple of years now but if I run out of cigarettes or money for cigarettes and have to go like 24 or 48 hours without it's totally no big deal. Zero mental or physical withdrawal. Yesterday I went 23 hours without smoking because I just *forgot* to.
I would say all of these are WAY WAY WAY more addictive than nicotine: opiates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, barbitrates, amphetamines, MDMA, GHB, Gabapentinoids. Even much less addictive things like weed, Ketamine and LSD. Even caffeine. Even sugar. Hell, if I had to quit either smoking or Coke Zero I'd EASILY chose to quit the cigarettes, every time.
And I have a very addictive personality. I'm 3 years sober but was a very hardcore alcoholic (6 bottles of wine a day, plus vodka) for seven years. I've been addicted to opiates for the last 7 years and have been addictive to benzo's, amphetamines and barbiturates in the past. And Pregabalin. And even diet pills (ephedrine) for a while.
