If you ever truly want to see pure stupidity in action, watch a bunch of dumb ass smokers from within the confines of a nice warm building while they huddle together killing themselves in freezing temperatures like too many brainwashed, addicted morons that they are. I still don't buy the whole nicotine addiction $hit myself. They do it because they want to do it. I quit eating to make weight for wrestling in high school. While probably equally stupid, which do you think is harder to do? Not eat for 3 days or not suck in noxious fumes off a cancer stick? Hands down it's harder to go without eating, but they cry that nicotine makes them keep doing it. I call bull$hit.
You only get to call bullshit after you smoke a pack a day for at least a year, then try to quit. Until then, you have no fscking idea what you're talking about. A smoker will take a cig over water, food, or sex. It is THAT addicting. The addiction is said to be stronger than crack or heroin.
That said, it is NOT impossible to quit, and stay off them. If I could do it, anyone could.
BAH! I could do it, no questions asked. However, I refuse to do something so stupid in the first place, so it's moot. If I can cut 15 pounds in a week through starvation (yes, it's stupid, will never do it again) or march for 26 miles through White Sands Missle Range with 3 weeks of train up (I lost 20 pounds during that time and was eating 3 squares a day) then I could beat some weak ass "nic fits" hands down. Sorry, but it's true. It's mind over body, that simple. I have pushed my body to it's physical extremes. I have run until I've puked, wrestled until I've passed out, marched until my feet were wrought with blisters and bleeding. I don't care what you say, no shakes, headaches or any other damn symptom of nicotine withdrawl could cause me to keep smoking, period.
