The smell alone is embarrassing and the money I smoke away is nuts. Especially when I'm going through a tough financial situation. But since I'm going through so much stress, I smoke more. Vicious cycle. I've tried quitting a number of times too. Nicotine gum helped a lot.

That vicious circle is really cruel, given the extreme excise duty. Probably quite many have to find psychiatric or psychological help just/also because of that. Nicotine is just not patentable, you know!

Cigarettes are just not for everyone. Cancer risk doesn't mix well. Anxiety and (consequent, high) neurotoxicity does. Much like all the meds we are prescribed.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
