     @lain It seems to be the opposite for cannabis.

     Cannabis seems to be more lifestyle-forming than nicotine or alcohol.

     @amerika @berkberkman nicotine is insanely addictive at least. See a smoker after a 10 hour flight becoming insane from withdrawal. If someone had the same symptoms with alcohol people would put them in rehab, but it’s rather normal for smokers.

     @amerika @berkberkman yeah, it might not all be the nicotine, the cigarette habit plays a big role too.

     Cigarettes are, in retrospect, kind of psycho.
     
     A massive dose of nicotine absorbed through the lungs in a matter of seconds.
     
     Basically, you bring yourself to near barf-levels of intoxication and then back out just as quickly.

     Oh well. Haven’t red this one but I read Matt Ridley’s “red queen” on the same topic, which I think had similar conclusions

     @lain in my own anecdotal experience the cognitive benefits are real. I don't do it outside of work so the vasoconstriction shouldn't mess with my exercise or anything. never had noticeable withdrawals. I'm open to the possibility that there are undiscovered downsides because nothing is ever good and everything sucks, also I have no idea what the fuck is actually in zyns

     @lain @amerika I forgot another overlooked drug that's still accepted almost everywhere: caffeine. I haven't seen much research on the longterm problems with it.
