Yeah just want to reiterate as a constantly-struggling-to-quit cigarette smoker, that nicotine ranks third behind opioids and barbiturates for its addictive potential, just ahead of cocaine.
MAYBE you could swing a few cigarettes a week, but why? If you can get a hold of weed, it is vastly superior in every way. If you want a social habit, get a nice vape box and some nicotine-free juice. The tobacco flavored ones aren't exactly like cigarettes, but there are some good flavors. Personally, I go with menthol juices, since they "feel" the most like a cigarette to me and the brain.

Of course. You sound very reasonable and calm.

Yea, don't really get what the end game is here. I will happily move out of the way of anyone in the street, because I am a) not a fucking troglodyte, b) have nothing at all to prove to someone I will most likely never encounter in a meaningful way and c) am just trying to get from point A to point B. So I get that the article isn't really discussing me or my behavior, but, it presents itself as if it is with statements like
These are not useful statements. I especially like the "even if they'd never say it!" hedging built right in.
I mean if you want to make walking down the street, deliberately being as much of an obstacle as possible, some sort of praxis, uuhhh, more power to you I guess. But I don't think you're off to a great start.
