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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

That part is scientifically accurate afaik. Fuck the douchebag otherwise.
