While the lithium-ion batteries in disposable electronic cigarettes are discarded after a single use, they can continue to perform at high capacity for hundreds of cycles, according to a study published December 12 in the journal Joule.
It’s not the substance itself that is addictive, it’s cultural aspects and ease of access. When you can throw a stone in any direction and hit a store that sells tobacco, it’s going to be harder to quit. Even if you are far away from a store, if your near any significant group of people you can find someone who will give you a cigarette.
Now if I wanted heroin it would probably take me a week to bounce messages around some of my more downtrodden acquaintances before I found a dealer. And you won’t find anyone who is going to share their heroin with you. If you knew the hoops people would jump through and fire they would walk across to obtain heroin, you wouldn’t compare that to cigarettes. Hardly anyone would do all that shit just for a smoke.
It’s compared to heroin in terms of how addictive it is. And considering people have spent their entire lives trying to quit and failed, that seems right to me.
I bet you think I made that up, don’t you? I did not.
It just isn’t as addictive. Period. They are comparing something with ubiquitous access to something extremely difficult to source. If people had source tobacco like they source heroin, no one would smoke.
There are almost no withdrawal symptoms from quitting smoking. I dare you to use H for a month and then quit cold turkey. I will smoke for a month and do the same… we can compare notes about how addictive they are after the experiment.
(My tinfoil hat is these points about addictiveness and nicotine relapse is just pushed by big tobacco to make it seem harder to quit than it actually is)
