Your body is not craving it, your mind is.

I mean...yeah, but that's really underselling how much mind can controll the body.

‘My experience is the only possible experience.’

It's not like you wake up at night because you need a smoke.

You are describing something millions of people have gone through

Sadly I have to live with my mind. And evem if I’ve never woken up at night because of tobacco I have stayed awake because of it.

On the tram today there was a woman at the door who lit her cigarette even before the door was open. Her friend had to take it off her. Not addictive my foot.

Speak for yourself. When I quit vaping my entire neck and shoulders locked up in a painful cramp and I spoke in a shout for weeeks. It did not. Go. Away until the day I chewed nicotine gum. Which was a MONTH after I put down the vapes. I swear if I get my hands on that alan carr I'm going to throttle him for his cold turkey bullshit.

I'm not responding negatively to your post, but I wanted to add that I think for some people, they may be less prone to addictive tendencies.

I've just assumed I was broken in some (another) way in that I just can't relate to those who struggle with addiction. I understand it's a struggle for them, but I just don't seem to have that issue with all the common things. Caffeine products (coffee/tea/soft drinks/pills etc), Cigarettes, Alcohol, Marijuana. Tried and abused it all for years, yet I can stop immediately, cold turkey, and not have any negative affects associated with withdrawals. It's just weird, but not anything that I've felt I had to have changed or fixed.

That’s a cute little n=1 anecdote you’ve got there

Absolutely meaningless in terms of data, but still just absolutely adorable that you think it’s relevant. Do you feel the need to tell us any other stories?
