Yeah, much like Pavlov's dogs enjoyed the bell coupled to food after much training, I'd think "Mary Jane" as a flavoring might be a bit VILE without the ongoing effects. I know there are persons that go around talking about pungency and various types of tastes, but frankly that stuff all TASTES VILE to me, even IF it's changing my consciousness. LOL.
I once "decided" that I was smoking not for the tobacco, but for the "sense" of smoking and bought some nicotine free "herbal" (non consciousness changing) tobacco. I smoked HALF of ONE herbal cigarette, and decided I was really addicted to tobacco. That half cigarette, IDK what was in it some sort of herbal, exotic "blend" was probably THE WORST cigarette I've ever "smoked." LOL.
I don't recommend it as a strategy, unless you want to find out if you like tobacco or not, and by then I already knew I think I just had a moment of desperate hope there or something. LOL.
If every reluctant quitter were made to smoke a pack of them before being ALLOWED to start back up, well, I think there would be less recidivism.
Not for me, though. If I had been REQUIRED to smoke the whole pack before given real tobacco I probably would have finished it in under an hour but I would have been how shall I say, UNHAPPY about it. LOL.
