Uh, I did not say cigarettes are good, or deny that they are harmful to many aspects of your health. I am simply pointing out that claiming they are as addictive as heroin is ridiculous and stupid.
Withdrawals from cigarettes are not the same thing, they just aren’t. I cannot believe I even need to say this. How is this conversation a thing?
It minimizes any actual discourse on the issue because anyone with half a brain is going to see that.
A better way to encourage change is to use real, actual facts.
I precisely said that withdrawals aren’t the same between the two. You simply don’t understand how something can be more or less addictive, while the addictions can have radically different effects and consequences.
You can literally die from alcohol withdrawal, while that could never happen for nicotine withdrawal and yet, nicotine is much more addictive than alcohol, IE you get addicted to it much more easily.
