I have yet to see a study that removes variables like ease of access. It’s easier to quit something when you lose your dealer and literally don’t know how to get more.
I guess I just take issue with the “addictiveness” definition part. Like sugar v Heroin. Yes you’re more likely to relapse on sugar, but quitting Heroin is going to be so much harder. If they put heroin in every grocery store or convenience mart I guarantee the addiction stats would change.
I don’t have issue with the term addictiveness. I get what you are saying though.
Heroin addiction is way worse because it destroys your life. You become non-functional if you don’t have your fix.
If you don’t have a cigarette, you are cranky, but you don’t get necrotizing fasciitis. But if you need your fix, you’ll inject/sniff/smoke anything to get your fix and it is usually drugs cut with dangerous chemicals.
You should probably talk to more people face to face.
I love the “cigarettes more addictive than heroin” just because tobacco is easy to access… biggest farce ever
The rate of addiction is higher for tobacco than heroin (45% vs 30% if I remember correctly).
I will try to find a source and add it in an edit.

That part is scientifically accurate afaik. Fuck the douchebag otherwise.
Most people I talk to face to face are idiots, like this comedian, so, nah, not today.
Yeah, I’m sure it’s everyone else. Not you at all.
Yep. Me too.
If most people you talk to are an asshole…
Most people I talk to irl are not assholes. They are idiots though.
Is this really that hard to grasp, the idea of an intelligent person being surrounded by those less mentally capable?
This is some kind of impossible situation?
