“If the difference between a need and a desire is that a need can be satisfied, then the need for nicotine was unique because it could go on being satisfied all of the time: twenty, forty, even a hundred times a day. What some people want from drugs is just to do them, and no drug lets you do it over and over like cigarettes.”
John Phipps, Quitting, The Point
Beautiful piece.
Thinking a lot about cigarettes lately. Maybe it’s all the things going on. Unfortunately (or fortunately I guess), even smoking just one cigarette makes me really queasy.
