>>4688631Tobacco smoke is filterless, therefore more "bad" for you. Whos going to whip out a fucking tobacco pipe outside a pub?
The reason people smoke a whole cigarette is because they no longer get the head rush that is caused by a few puffs of smoke, not nicotine. Nicotine isn't the addictant, its the 539 other chemicals in typical cigarettes. However nicotine can become addictive because of the nootropic qualities it has (heightened alertness).
Personally what I find addictive is the ritual. You come home from a long night of work, your gf is waiting for you, you come inside, go out back for a smoke with her, exchange your day's news, go back inside and have a good evening. Same goes when out with friends, you wanna get away from the table for a minute, you go outside and a quick smoke with your friends, your more alert, have a few laugh and go back inside.
