Everyone should known what addiction feels like, even if it's just the slight nagging of a cigarette.

the future versions of ourselves will thank us for it.

Sorry I'm having difficulty reconciling those two sentences. Because personally I don't think the future version of me would like to have lung cancer, it sort of feels like it would be a detriment to my life goals.

Smoking 1 pack of cigs doesn't give you lung cancer

You're already engaging in dopamine loops akin to drugs when you intentionally misunderstand internet stragers in order to be indignant and dismissive twoards them.

It's just a smaller and less satisfying squirt of dopamine than many drugs would give you.

I understand being afraid of things as a defense agaisnt trying them though, it's a very human response
