This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think Nicotine has a stimulant effect, so there is that. Other than that, yea, the marketing devils get to them.

There also is a big social aspect of taking smoke breaks together.

You can simply take the break and socialize without the smoking part.

In theory, but that's not really how humans work.

The marketing to get the first puff, then the nicotine to keep you hooked.
