@thewendynator & @Pawws: I admire yall for that. I don�t know how it feels like to itch for another pack, but I sure know how hard it is to stop when you're addicted to something. When I was a kid, I saw my grandmother smoking outside the house and she threw her cigarette on the grass. I picked it up after she left, thinking it was some sort of candy. I breathed into it and I choked and threw it away. It was so gross Kidding aside, I say no. It has good (?) psychological and physiological effects (relieves stress), but it�s the nicotine inside it that does that and that substance is very dangerous. But fortunately they started making nicotine gums for those who are trying to quit smoking, so that the nicotine doesn�t have to go into the lungs and destroy them. It can be digested. However this only presents a way out from lung cancer. My dad has been smoking all his life and he bought an [i]e-cigarette[/i] so that we wouldn�t smell the smoke, but it still had nicotine in it, only in the form of a liquid. Nicotine builds up a plaque in your arteries, forms new blood vessel and stimulates the growth of a tumor (yada yada yada I'm pretty sure we are all well aware of the effects). It�s not as alarming as it sounds now, but once we see visible, drastic effects, it�ll be too late by then. Honestly, if it didn�t have such harmful side effects, then I wouldn�t even be so strongly against it. Hahahaha. Chocolate relieves stress too but too bad we get fat if we don�t burn those calories or we get diabetes if we consume too much of it. Nothing is free
