I was just thinking the same thing the other day. When I was smoking, I never gave any thought to it - just go
buy a pack or two of smokes and that was it. Yeah, I changed brands over the years, but really, there isn't a lot of difference between brands. And as far as the cig itself, well it's a cig. I mean there are regulars and 100's, but that's about it. I sure the heck never spent hours on a forum dedicated to smoking.
Now, I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at
vaping hardware and juices. Who knew nicotine could turn into a hobby?
