You can put me on the side of anti-smoking and absolutely not sexy. Subjecting yourself to an addiction like smoking is a character defect, in my opinion. People should know better by now, but people are dumb.
People here in Norway and Sweden also use a disgusting smokeless product that delivers nicotine into their systems in much larger quantities. It is called snus and it stinks too and I absolutely can not kiss someone when they have snus in their mouths. The smell alone makes me nauseous. They pass off the product as being ‘less health risk’ than smoking, but all the people I know who use snus also smoke cigarettes as well, so it is utter bullshit. They are hopelessly at the mercy of a drug and I hope there will be a time soon when we will look back at nicotine addiction and wonder how it ever happened at all and how silly human beings were back then. (I am looking for a radio interview I heard recently about a drug treatment to stop the addiction to opiates and nicotine… but damn it… I can’t find it.)
