Its a weird mental addiction. No physical withdrawls, you just think about it.
thats pretty much how i see it. I was thinking maybe i was being ignorant though
that is ignorant.
nicotine is VERY addictive.
No offense dude but nicotine is a weak substance. Maybe druggies just have a better time with it. 
and mushrooms are a weak substance compared to LSD
micrograms compared to milligrams?
what comparison are you actually trying to make?
calling something "a weak substance" actually provided me almost no information about what you were actually trying to say.
try again buddy

they dont get addicted because it feels good.
else we would all be addicted to sex.
addiction has already been figured out. and the intensity of emotions felt on the drug do not correlate to the addictiveness of said drug.
else we would all be addicted to DMT

What withdrawal? You mean the few hours after you quit where you're like, "man I could really go for a cig". 'Cause I never got the shakes, hot and cold sweats, flu like symptoms reflective of real noticeable withdrawals of hard drugs.
If you're gonna complain about cigarette withdrawals, seriously man up.

I've never experienced any kind of physical withdrawal from quitting tobacco. The psychological craving to light up after quitting, though, is a bitch and a half. I've resorted to fishing packs out of the garbage that I've thrown away when I've tried to quit in the past. 
Now I've switched to an e-cigarette so at least I'm doing my lungs and my wallet a favor. Wouldn't say it's harder to quit than opiates, though--needing your fix because you'll get actually physically sick without it is a far cry from just really, really wanting a drag of nicotine.

the withdrawals are vastly different.
the addiction uses the same mechanisms.

thats your argument? I can't even regard those statistics with sincerity.
I'll assume that more people get 'addicted' to caffeine and nictone because: 1) you can get either ANYWHERE 2) they are cheaper by a longshot 3) socially acceptable
