I was never a "gotta have a cig" upon first waking up. Not like that with snus either. I gotta wake up, dress, brush teeth, have coffee, then pop in a snus.

Nicotine is addictive, no question to it. When I stop using it I get sweats, headaches, shakes, irritability (of course), etc.

I tried nicotine free cigarettes, didn't help whatsoever. Hand-to-mouth was fine, psychological was fine, lack of nicotine was not.

I go to snus, something I've never done before (oral tobacco), and I quit like it's nothing.

However, the whole nicotine vs. heroin thing reminds me of a part in the movie "Half Baked":

Thurgood: I'm here today because I'm addicted..to marijuana.
Rehab patient: You in here 'cuz of marijuana?! Man, this is some BULLSHIT!
Bob Saget/Cocaine addict: Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke.
Rehab patient: I seen him [do it]!
Bob Saget/Cocaine addict: Now that's an addiction, man. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?
Thurgood: No, I can't say I have.
Bob Saget/Cocaine addict: I didn't think so.

Snupy, if I remember correctly you had a real small need for nicotine in the first place, pea sized pris, and all. Well I bet your nicotine levels are way higher now than you think. The different delivery systems are the key. When I use nasal snuff I only use about three snus a day, but my nic levels are jacked up.

One other myth that I'd like to dispel is that nicotine is more addictive than heroin. People that go around spreading shit like that obviously have never been addicted to heroin. I believe Dr. Pepper is more addictive than either, cause I would rob little old ladies in the street to afford it. It's soooooo good, I would abandon my family for it and sell my twat to old men in order to afford it.

Dr. Pepper. Don't ever get started with Dr. Pepper- it will ruin your life.

Claiming to have a twat and using the name Lucky Striker is an oxymoron. Blasphemy! :lol:
