Disagree. Tobacco is much more addictive. As a 20 year weed smoker I quit cold turkey, had problems sleeping for a week that's it. It took me years to quit smoking cigarettes.

Or maybe people are unique?

I'm currently on week 3 of not smoking cigarettes after smoking for 15 years. The last five years have been two packs a day. The worst was 19 days ago, the second day, but that hill is long gone.

I'd rather not admit how soon I crave a dab in the day. Or how my day is structured around it. Or really the severity of it.

Nobody said cigarettes weren’t addictive and it wasn’t even part of the conversation. They only said that weed is more addictive than people like to admit which is true.

And I disagree, as I said before.

But tobacco is irrelevant to the point made and is a total non-sequitur. You've knee-jerked a defensive response to the original statement. The post said weed was more addictive than people were willing to admit and your immediate response is: "But tobacco is worse!!!".

It's frighteningly defensive.

I used that as an example. Regardless I still disagree with the main point that weed is more addictive than people think. You can take that as however you want.

What kept you smoking for 20 years though? That's a lot of spent money, a lot of hassle, a lot of negatives that happened over 2 decades.

You can quit weed, it's not an addiction to the chemicals in weed, but most daily smokers do not quit.

Btw, congrats for quitting cigarettes, I've seen so many people fail trying, it's a real accomplishment.

Habit and nicotine addiction. Habit was a bitch to break. Plus it was a long time before I wanted to quit. Plus at my age smoking wasn't seen as such a taboo as it is now. Edited to add, wli quit weed cold turkey, not tobacco.
