Why would someone tell you you're addicted to cigarettes? Isn't that kind of a given?

"I can quit anytime I want"

Or my favorite, "I only smoke at work"
Right, but you smoke like half a pack every fucking day. And you work 5 days a week.

Guilty.

They're not heroin or meth. They're smokes. I've known people to just have a smoke now and again but they certainly aren't addicted.

Why are you getting downvoted? I buy a pack of shorts a month, smoke 1-4 in a week, and by the end if I haven't finished it then I don't want nasty slightly stale ones so I throw it away. I do this instead of the lottery. I won't win anything, but it's something to do and a way to go on break if I want to.

I'm pretty sure that's how it starts for every one.

I've been doing this for quite a while. You can say what you want, talk down to me, think you know the situation, whatever to make you feel happy, but thats the truth.

Not really. Believe it or not, not everyone that smokes will end up being "addicted". There are plenty of people that do it socially and/or so rarely that you could barely call it a habit.

I smoke when I drink. I only drink on Saturdays. I don't smoke during the week or weekend. I know some people who smoke morning day and night. In this Texas heat, fuck that. If I don't drink, I can continue not smoking.

I started last spring and Ive only bought maybe 3 packs of cigs. Ive gone months where I dont even have one, but probably average 1 a week. I will never smoke more than this, and when I run out it usually takes a long time before I even feel the urge to buy a new pack on a whim.
people say dumb shit like "thats how it starts" but Ive been doing this for close to 2 years now and feel no need to increase the frequency due to the risk of cancer. ive found a nice equilibrium, and it sounds like you have too.

Like social smokers - for me personally if I'm around someone that's smoking and we're chatting, I will have one with them. But once I'm on my own I don't think about smoking at all. It's weird, but I was reading the other day that social smokers aren't addicted to nicotine as such, but more the habit of smoking in certain situations.

Addiction shows itself through deception.

Seriously though you should give up.
Oh no bud, I don't smoke. I had cancer a few years back. Never going to touch one of those things. I just though the Gif fitted the caption well.
Had to be done
Hahaha brilliant.

Oh shit man. I seriously did not see this. I checked Karma decay and everything and didn't see any recent posts. Sorry bud.
Interesting that your submission is also a repost.
Wait, so you're saying you lied?
Fucking brilliant! Definitely laughed out loud.
That's called being a quitter.
Dude, just cause he's addicted to cigs doesn't mean he should go off and kill himself. A bit too harsh, dad.
