Hi Brad,
It’s a complete falicy that nicotine is more addictive than heroin. Have you ever heard of anyone quitting heroin cold turkey? Many people quit cigarettes that way? Why? Becuase it simply a habbit NOT a niccotine addiction. If smoking cigarettes was purely due to a niccotine addition, than why are patches only 7% effective? It’s becuase its a habbit. If the chemicals in cigarettes were addictive, then why donlt second hand smokers get ‘addicted’ and start smoking? Its becuase its a habbit. How is a habbit formed? repition right? It takes about 10 draws to finish a cigarette right? so that means that the packet a day smoker is drwing back on a fag 200 to 250 times a day! Thats quite a lot of repetition eh?

Thanks for posting! By the post I would assume you are not a smoker.
If there is anything else I can assist let me know.
