    As a smoker that actually makes them go to an 11 because I know I won’t be judged by them for my addiction 🤷

      Truth. But I wouldn’t recommend seeking an enabler. Vaping (not disposables), snus, and pouches (zyn/etc) are better alternatives and easier to exit from. (Ex doer of all the above)

      Smoking is horrible for you, your things, and anyone around you. Worry about the nicotine part later.

        I really wouldn’t say vaping is easier to quit than cigarettes from my experience, they are way too convenient, no long lasting smell, you can vape inside, nice and unnoffensive flavour.

        Pouches in the other hand helped me a lot, they kindof hurt if you do too much, and you get nauseous more quickly, but the nicotene effect is noticable enough to easily replace vaping/smoking, and I consume much less nicotene since I switched to them.

          Pouches and vapes are on par - especially if you don’t do the gas station disposable crack kind. You can wind down mg by mg with vapes.

          The gum grating feeling is real. Mg as a "strength " factor isn’t equal between the two. 6mg zyn is like vaping 12mg salts. Which furthers pouches being harder to quit. Nauseousness just shows your tolerance.

        Do you avoid enablers for working?

        Working 40hrs a week is more harmful than smoking a pack a day.

        Coffee takes years off your life, do you enable coffee drinkers?

        Alcohol is more harmful than smoking cigarettes, but most people who don’t smoke still drink, do you enable that?

          Working 40 hours a week is not more harmful than smoking a pack a day. One of those pays you money, the other costs money.

          You need help if you’re coping this hard about your cigarette addiction

            Cigarettes can take years off your life, sometimes decades.

            A 9-5 takes 5/7ths of your life off your life

            Either you care about people living healthy lives or you just wanted an excuse to be shitty twoards a specific group of people, we both know what you were doing.

            You need help if you are coping this hard with your wage slave addiction.

      If you’re mentally stable, I’d recommend chantix to aid you in quitting. It binds with the receptors for nicotine in your brain, rendering the act of smoking unfulfilling. If you have any mental disease either diagnosed or guessed at, do not take it under any circumstance.

        I guess that’s why the last person I knew on that drug switched to Marlboro blacks.
