NRTs actually have a better business if people use them and fail. They'll be back for another attempt again in the future.

That's how desperately some people want to quit smoking. They will try again and again, hoping that SOMETHING will work. That's why I'm passionate about vaping, so far it seems to be the best chance most people will have to get themselves away from smoking.
kids with lousy parents would fall by the way side insuring my kids a better chance at succeeding.
screw'em.

I'm insane!
Multiple times
First one, then the other, then a combination of one + meds. Yep, an insane cycle.
I barely avoided the white coat...

No, dear, that was the Chantix. You are fine now.
That's the one thing I did not try.
There are a lot of children that have very good parents, excellent even. All the love, warnings and good parenting in the world isn't going to stop some kids from smoking. I know all about it, I was one of those kids. There's plenty of bad parenting without vilifying every parent of an underage smoker. I know that's not what all of you meant, it just kinda comes off that way sometimes and not just on this thread. Mini rant over.
That "definition" of insanity is actually not in any way a proper one. It's in the same league as "we only use 10% of our brain"...
We were speaking about addiction, where insanity is commonly and frequently defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...
Still not a good, and certainly not a clinical definition of insanity (or more properly mental illness). And equating addiction/dependence with insanity isn't very helpful. I have a mental disorder (not addiction or dependence), and even that doesn't qualify as insanity.
Pretty sure the discussion was about smoking addiction, not mental disorders...r

You're the one who brought up insanity, and definitions thereof.
But I'm all for dropping that discussion.
Oh, I know all about context. In any case, I've dropped the topic, not relevant.
And if you were trying to insult, do a better job. Still, I'll disregard it anyway.
All rehab crap...insanity described in the BB does not say this...
At least we know cigarettes will kill us...too bad we don't know that about vaping..."lesser of two evils?" Whatever. No one knows. If you think about it the logic is so flawed. I know analogs will kill me but I really do not know if vaping will kill me so all good, I will stick with vaping. It is pure addict logic. Delusional, irrational, denial, addict justification and total illusion. But oh yea, the nic is not addictive, it's other things as well....more delusion. ..
