    Following that logic, you must also doubt that nicotine gum, patches, etc work, because they’ll just cause continued nicotine use after stopping the burning of tabacoo?

        It sounds like you don’t fully understand the process many people have gone through to quit smoking successfully.
        Must be hard navigating the world being so willfully ignorant. Or you’re just a pedantic asshole.

          🤣 Wow, overreact much?

          I’m not going to sit here and pretend continuing using nicotine is the solution to quitting nicotine. I’m not saying it’s the same for all drugs (caffeine and alcohol should be quit gradually) but nicotine is totally different.

          I’ve quit so many times in the past where just one cigarette or one puff on a vape was enough to restart the entire process again. I have the experience to actually confirm that—but it’s not even just me who says that. Check out whyquit.com or read studies about nicotine withdrawal if you don’t believe me.

          But yeah, I’m just a pedantic asshole. And you’re just another fucking Lemmy user that thinks they know everything. Get fucked.

            Anyone who has experienced addiction knows that addiction is a permanent disease and that obviously partaking in the substance again will more than likely lead to continued substance abuse. Jesus christ.
