What;s wrong with kids these days?
Not to marginalise nor compartmentalise the opinions of other members here , but Slant Six Dan has proposed the finest example of a well-thought and sensible approach to the elimination of tobacco .
Do I enjoy smoking ? Yes , half the time , I certainly do .
At work it helps me relax ; after a meal , it's complimentary ; with a coffee drink , it's heavenly ; and with a good , strong Stout , it's blissful .
Then , there are the other times where it's like 'god damn ... I don't really want one right now , but my brain is telling me to !! '
On my days off from work , when I'm at home , I hardly smoke at all ; maybe 2 -3 cigs over a 12 hour course of being awake .
However , when I go socialise , I start burnin' through 'em again :twisted: .
So , I've come to realise that I am addicted to tobacco , psychologically and physiologically .
And , in support of Dan's ideal that tobacco / nicotine is helpful in certain cases of mental illness , I wish to add :
nicotine also breaks-down monoamine oxidase , which is the "street sweeper" of certain brain chemicals .
