  • Nicotine by far. I quit doing most other drugs (except I still enjoy smoking weed), but I just cannot quit smoking. I’ve tried several times, and even if I go a month or two, I still can’t resist.

    I think the reason for this is because I actually enjoy smoking quite a lot. All those other drugs eventually became more of a living hell than they were fun, so quitting them was easier.

    In 1962, in his book “Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible”, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated his famous Three Laws, of which the third law is the best-known and most widely cited: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.

    “Magic” is just a term ignorant people use to describe something they don’t understand and are too lazy and to figure out. Sometimes, just because they refuse to accept the facts.

    Example: man-made climate change causes record wildfires in LA, and some claim “God did it!”

    Another: cancer patient goes into remission after successful medical treatments. Some believe “God did it!”
