How Does One Justify a Cigarette Addiction?
Question by James: How does one justify a cigarette addiction?
I’ve smoked cigarettes before. In fact, I once bought a pack and smoked three a day for a few days. I noticed that the first one got me lightheaded for about 3 minutes. The second did this to a lesser extent, and the third had almost no effect on me. What, then, is the point in a raging cigarette addiction, to the tune of one or two packs a day? I can almost understand addiction to other drugs – used as a method of escape, drugs like cocaine, heroin or even marijuana produce dramatic changes in consciousness for extended periods. Cigarettes do next to NOTHING, except cause a lot of cancer and cost a lot of money. Can anyone, smokers or non-smokers, justify this addiction that is perhaps the most widespread addiction the world has ever seen? Could someone please tell me why?

The nicotine in it is addicting I guess and a stress reliever and when someone has been smoking for a long tone they just can’t quit .. Idk I agree with you tho they really don’t do anything but I’m glad I can say that cause cigs are kinda groddyyyy lol

It’s the nicotine. 100 years Ago when EVERYONE smoked, there was about half the nicotine and 1/4 the chemicals in it then now the 21st century. The cig companies keep rising the nicotine level so people get very addicted so they can make more $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ . It’s all about moneh my friend. The government taxes cigs like 1300%, if there was zero govt tax on cigs, a pack of Marlboros would run you about 65¢
