This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was up to 2 packs a day before I quit years ago,and can definitely say that jolt was real. Nicotine is a stimulant after all.Its been something like 17 years and I still miss it sometimes.

I can understand wanting to slap down any upside as a non-smoker, but we can't just make stuff up.

I'm an ex smoker too. 20 years a pack or more per day. Zero cravings. I don't miss it at all.

As I understand it, nicotine is a stimulant only if your body isn't used to it. Your body adapts very fast to it (which is also why it's so addictive).
