  • Maybe it’s not very addictive for you. It is for most people.

    The way you are with coffee is the way I am with nicotine. I’ve smoked. I’ve quit smoking. I’ve started again. The most craving I’ve gotten for a cigarette was incredibly mild. Once I read that nicotine could trigger certain diseases that run in my family, I quit tobacco completely and I’ve never looked back. I haven’t had a cigarette in about 18 years, and quitting was trivially easy for me.

    Based on this, I could say “Cigarettes aren’t very addictive. They’re easy to quit!” And of course, I’d be dead wrong.

    Shaved bald?

    A friend of mine was so angry at men after her breakup that she decided to shave her head. She thought that would make her unattractive. It had the exact opposite effect, because she ran with an alternative, artsy crowd.

    The moral of that story is…know your audience. I’m sure if instead she had started dressing conservatively and quoting Bible verses, it would’ve worked.
