[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 496882, member: 1211"] Habitual ≠ addictive. Just to make that clear. There's all kinds of chemical stuff going on with smoking and our bodies, so I'm sure some people are addicted either physically or psychologically, but that isn't what I meant. I realize addiction is a sensitive topic, and I purposely avoided it. When I think of the morning 'til nighters, I think of a few specific customers at the smoke shop. I know they enjoyed it. It was part of them and their identity (another subject all together). But I also strongly believe this was a habit. I can't say whether they were addicted or not, but I do believe this was a habit like any other habit. The ritual of it. The ceremony of it. It was all part of the repetition and process. EDIT: and to apply this to myself, I don't much like to take my walks (if windy or rainy) without the pipe in my left hand (I can't smoke with my right hand because it feels awkward). The pipe is part of my walk is part of that habit. [/QUOTE]
