    We've known this for decades, though, and people still smoke because it's an addiction that's very hard to overcome.https://twitter.com/kwilli1046/status/1080115917982498818 …

        The most effective replacement therapies (e-cigarettes & Nicotine sprays) cost just as much as cigarettes. This is in spite of nicotine itself (in the amounts people are addicted to it) does not appear to be particularly harmful.

        Heart attacks and strokes are the biggest killer of smokers not lung cancer. Nicotine alone significantly raises resting heart rate and is a potent constrictor of the coronary arteries. It is the primary reason smoking causes heart attacks and strokes not tar or carcinogens

        My partner tried to quit for years and didn't actually manage it until he had a stroke at age 40. My father quit, but it took a long time for the cravings to go away. It's a tough addiction to beat.

        My problem is that I genuinely enjoy everything about it, especially when I’m having coffee or a drink. I used to tell myself that I can go without, but that lasts for about half a day. Vaping isn’t nearly the same. I’ve also had gum and patches and even fancy...

        plastic like fake cigarette inhalers in the hospital before. It’s not tobacco. I don’t know what it is about tobacco. My ex has tried to quit multiple times; one time he tried patches, and just got hooked on the patches for a while as well as smoking.
