    Your nicotine only experience

    I feel exactly the same way. With t-burners, it was well accepted that no should get in my way first thing in the morning: clear the path to the coffee pot and hold the door open for Dad! If there happens to be one of tanks laying nearby, I might grab a quit hit, but otherwise, it could some...

    Something I havent been able to say in 19 years.

    WOW! Hand rolled and without filter! That is a hard-earned 33 days, and the great thing is that's just the first 33 days of the rest of your life free from t-burners! Congratulations!!! I'm not that far ahead of you, and hope you're loving it every bit as much as the rest of us ;))

    ... how it's perceived, one form of addiction is what 'most' would call an illness at which point yes it rules your life and everything around it suffers ... Lots of good stuff in here!

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    No worries, since we're talking about nicotine & not cakes (ref your avatar ;))... You, me and every other smoker have had a relationship with nicotine - and in terms of casual, day-to-day application of the word, we pretty much describe it as an addiction. And the word, in our collective...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    :confused: Did you really mean to just take that snippet and respond to it in a vacuum, or did you actually read my words, including the reference to the Carl Phillips piece, along with the extensive exchanges in the comments section? See, if you didn't do that, and gain an understanding of...

    how are the prices at your local B&M?

    Unfortunately I have no B&M stores in my area (except I found out Great Lakes Vaporizors is just up the road a piece) That leaves just the tobacco shops and what they carry. One particular 'chain' appears to be stocking their stores with decent entry level stuff Not outrageous prices, but...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    Yeah, and she just retired!! To make it even worse, she didn't tell me... :frown: No one has touched my full head of hair with cutters in hand for more than 30 years... I am distraught and traumatized Back to your regular programming...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    Are you trying to tell me I am not powerful or influential enough to change everyone??!!:shock: No, but for some, the idea that choosing different words may be helpful, or as Zahzoo said so well: It's very good to highlight these finer points on the subject where ever and when ever the...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    Interesting question.... Habit maybe if you do it in response to the old cigarette "trigger" moments (driving, on the phone, at the computer, whatever made you instinctively reach for a ....). But all by itself, seems like you do it simply cause you like it. Kinda like sitting on the porch to...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    But I disagree, and you have proven yourself wrong just by adding your contribution to the conversation! :toast: And it goes to Zahzoo's point about this being one of the finer points. This thread may just plants seeds in the way way back of the brain that might arise at an opportune moment...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    You're right in "finer points"! As a professional talker (training, instructional design, project management, barbershop chorus director), I have this addiction to paying attention to words - because they do matter. And it's the subtlety of the more appropriate choice of words that adds a bit...

    Words matter - time to retire the use of "addiction"?

    While reading this thread, Its Time to fighter fire with fire, it struck me that the word addiction was used in almost every other sentence (at least it seemed that way). The thread was about communications, messaging & fighting back the lies with memorable & impactful 'taglines' and more...

    Conversations 2.12.14 - 2 for 1, plus bonus points

    While out looking for places to promote my Barbershop Quartet Singing Valentines, I wandered into a local pawn shop (okay, I was looking at tools too ;)), staffed by a young lady (Sally) & guy (Jim) behind the counter. The stench of cigarette smoke hung in the air, so I casually commented, with...

    Dems propose ban on ecigs????

    This is interesting, and off-topic, but... Since when is a minor's access to stimulants been such a concern? Not once have I heard of a proposed ban on selling to minors such terrifying products as coffee & energy drinks Every authority I've found puts nicotine in the same risk / drug...
