Cigarettes aren't addicting for me at all, not even the slightest bit, even though a lot of my friends smoke I never got hooked on them...

...Even after smoking a pack over a weekend while camping or at a festival, I don't ever crave or think about smoking them when I'm just hanging out at home or going about a normal day. So many people have told me, "that's how the addiction starts", well I've been doing this for 10+ years and they haven't become any more addictive for me and I have yet to get any sort of real cravings or urges for a smoke .....

Tobacco is purely a social thing for me. Or when I'm camping it's nice to kick back with a smoke from time to time....When I trip on mushrooms, sometimes I'll bum some tobacco off a friend because I like smoking tobacco at a few points during my mushroom trips. The only time I ever get any sort of "craving" for a stoge is after eating a big satisfying meal, after eating a good meal a cig sounds nice sometimes (but it's not a craving so intense that I "have" to have a smoke, it just sounds nice, even though it sounds nice I never smoke after eating a meal unless I'm out eating somewhere and with friends).






The smell bothers me too . Some tobacco smoke smells alright, but for the most part it's a pungent/annoying smell...When I'm not smoking, if someone is smoking around me I hate the smell. After I smoke a cig I almost always rinse out my mouth, and wash my hands if possible (because I can't smell my weed, I literally smell every piece of weed I break up with my fingers, I'm obsessed with aromas/smells lol, after smoking a cig my fingers reek like tobaccy and I'm not able to smell the herb when I break it up).


I'm also very mindful when I smoke tobacco...I'm mindful of where my smoke is drifting, I make sure my smoke isn't drifting towards anyone or going through/into anyone's car or house windows. When smoking in a group I always exhale upwards so the smoke isn't going towards anyone...When at festivals I don't smoke on the dance floor, I make sure to step away from peoples...I never ever toss the butts on the ground, I always make sure the butts are tossed into the trash even if this means holding onto them or putting them into a continer until I'm near a trash can...

...I actually pick up & throw away random cig-butts off the ground when I'm walking certain places.

....Most tobacco smokers are terrible at such things, they don't pay attention or give a shit where their smoke is drifting and they don't think twice about tossing the butts on the ground...That sorta shit pisses me off so much .

So you've been addicted to tobacco for 10 years is what you're saying?

---

Depends what you define as addiction? I buy like 3 or 4 packs a year , and I don't even smoke the entire pack to myself. I go weeks with out having a smoke or even thinking about having a smoke.

I smoked a cigarette a few weeks ago, a few weeks before that I smoked like 10 over the weekend...before that it was like a month since I had one, before that it was a few weeks, and so on...




I drink a beer or two from time to time...I had a beer a couple weeks ago, a month or so before that I had a beer, a few weeks before that I drank like 3 beers and caught a mild buzz...But I don't think I'm an alcoholic/addicted to alcohol.

I put some opiates up my nose once or twice or a few times a year but I don't think I'm a junky .





I don't feel that my use of tobacco is in anyway an addiction. I'll have a pack sitting on my dresser in my room for weeks with out touching it.
