    …why are you replying this to me and not the one that is denying it?

    I repied to you because of your reply to Jake_Farm. Jake_Farm stated:

    How the fuck do you hit rock bottom solely on nicotine?

    To which you responded:

    It’s more addictive than meth. If you can imagine somebody hitting rock bottom on meth then it should be easy enough to wrap your head around it. Especially when cigarettes contain added chemicals to make it more addictive than nicotine alone.

    By inference you are claiming that nicotine is more addictive than meth and I’m just pointing out that isn’t correct — you can’t use tobacco and nicotine interchangeably in discussions, whether talking about addictiveness, harm, or just about any aspect of their short and long terms effects. The addictiveness is drastically different, the cardiovascular effects are vastly different, the effects on lung function are vastly different.

    To your credit, the overall conversation is about tobacco and I should have clarified that my point applies to everyone in this conversation who is talking about nicotine and tobacco in the same breath.

      Yeah I definitely flubbed the terms, but if you extrapolate what I’m saying it should be obvious I was talking about tobacco. And I feel like the people in this conversation are so eager to hate on me that they’ll just incorrectly use this as evidence that I’m wrong lol
