[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 272090, member: 820"] Is it an addiction that goes under the guise of hobby, or is it a hobby that's addictive? Semantics. I probably wouldn't smoke tobacco if there wasn't nicotine. A lot of the "I quit cigs now I just smoke a pipe and I'm healthier for it" is merely denial from my point of view. It's cross addiction. A little like: "I quit whiskey and only drink wine coolers or beer. Ain't it great to be [i]sober[/i]!?". It's still alcohol or nicotine, but in a different wrapper. If you drink eleven wine coolers or smoke five bowls you're still getting to the same place IMHO. The saying [i]If I'm enjoying it, I'm not controlling it. If I'm controlling it, I'm not enjoying it[/i] seems à propos. If you're going to do it, do it without reservations and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
