And if we really want to get down to the nitty gritty; the recent boom in tobacco related cancer has much more to do with both the chemicals infused with the tobacco, as well as the radioactive inorganic phosphate fertilizers that have been pushed on the soil for over 50 years.

I've got a piece in my mouth as I type.
It burns, and coats my tongue with an icky yellowish film.
I
like the burn; that means I'm getting my nic fix.
Still, it can't be
good for one's health.
I was actually addicted to nicotine gum long before I was addicted to cigarettes- at age 13. Since quitting smoking several years ago, I've merely returned to my first love.
It would be an exaggeration to say I'm addicted now, though.
I don't chew it every day. I like to have it around for an occasional treat; a pick-me-up before I do housework, or near the end of a long stressful day at work. If it's not there, though, I can live without it.
It certainly wasn't that way when I was addicted to cigarettes. If
they weren't there, I'd become absolutely violently frantic until somebody provided some. That was a terrible addiction, one that I'm so glad to be free of. It's slavery, really.
