i was 16 and being abused and looking for an escape for my huge anxiety and depression and i got a nicotine addiction and now i cant easily quit. also this shit was marketed for teens to develop an addiction cause cigarettes sales were down because younger generations didn't want to smoke so they made nicotine taste like cotton candy to hook the younger people on nic. The nicotine industry is evil and i do plan on quitting in the next ten years. My wife is holding me to my promise to quit lol. Oh also dont diss weed too much as a drug, its the only glue holding alot of people together and helps people alot and should be treated more like alcohol then a hard drug. (i live in a legal state and its awesome and makes life easier). also actual drugs also hook people like me when their teens. my best friend had a heroin addiction because she just wanted to escape her horrible life. sometimes people make mistakes in their teens that are hard to come back from. she quit heroin, but not everyone is able to like that
