Is it normal i tried to get addicted?

25% Normal

A lot of people working at my current job smoke. It bewildered me so I tried it. Then dropped it after a few cigarettes. I got angry it didn't work because it said my brain is different. I'm not like normal humans and can never truly empathize with their plight. I do smoke occasionally now and it seems to alter my mood somewhat but I never crave them. It's the same with alcohol. However when I drink I drink till I'm drunk and when I smoke I do it usually I smoke like three at a time. Most of the time I only smoke around other people and it's very easy to drop stuff because I get very bored of Every thing.

It's a good thing you're not easily addicted. Don't try to be.

TRYING to get addicted to anything is self abuse (masochistic). Why would you want to be addicted to things that ruin your health? Are you suicidal? In that case, getting addicted to cigarettes is an EXTREMELY slow way to commit suicide LOL!
I am a smoker. Trust me, drop that habit IMMEDIATELY! Before you DO get addicted.Also smoking is an expensive addiction. I have been trying everything to quit. I would love to have that extra $160/month I spend on smoking. Also, smoking is becoming out of style big time. Most people think it's a disgusting habit, not a cool rebellious thing. If you are dating different people, looking for the right one, smoking is actually a deal breaker alot of times.

  It's sort of like that guy who did super-sized me. That was bad for his health but it was an experiment where he used himself as the test subject. I wanted to understand people who hav addictions. It turns out I'm just not like them and I don't think I ever will be. My brain is different for some reason. I can wear every single mask but they will never be real.

Good for you! Having an addictive personality makes you vulnerable to all sorts of bad habits, and believe me you don't want any part of that mess.

It's not easy to get addicted to alcohol. It sounds like you don't smoke regularly enough to form a habit. It has to become part of your life to really take hold.

Yep, I did the same thing just to test what the big deal was over, what i got is that some people just have no control..weak minds they like to bitch about how easy it is to get addicted and how hard it is to quit, like it's not their own responsibility..year right, try harder mofo's. nobody "needs" anything (other than the obvious for you smart arses out there).

  Well, if you go into it with that bias then obviously your results will be skewed. And you literally cannot get addicted to alcohol quickly, generally takes years or decades.

    I drink everyday and there's no point in quitting except to prove for the challenge of it which isn't hard at all if that's what you mean by bias..this post didn't say anything about alcohol from what i remember

      "It's the same with alcohol"
      
      Copied and pasted from OP.
      
      And that's the definition of bias, going into a question with a preconceived answer.

  Well it mostly depends on circumstances. For most smokers they enjoyed it and then continued and got addicted.
  Others had a positive experience with a cigarette and the brain wants to make that positive connection and then you get hooked.
  To be honest though they taste like shit.

        Yeah what's wrong with that? It's called moderation .. you can enjoy things without being addicted to them. 1 pack of cigs lasts me 2-3 months in fact that reminds me I still got one from this summer that I haven't finished yet. I buy like 1-2 pack a year if any at all.

        So then why do it? What keeps you doing it? You're doing something that costs you money and has negative health benefits but it's totally under your controll, right? Totally not an addiction.

"because it said my brain is different". Wow, your cigarettes talk to you. You might have some other problems.

      You need to work on reading comprehension. The phrase "what does this say about a person" means what can you infer about this individual based on the info. "Said" is being used in a similar context in the post. Maybe you are just horrible at English though so would find this hard to figure out. That does not mean ciggetates can literally speak.

        I was making fun of your grammar. My reading comprehension is well developed. "Maybe you are just horrible at English."

        If it was you would understand common phrasing such as that. Fact that you don't means your English skills are very poor.

If you only smoked a few cigarettes and then one once in a while you're not going to get addicted.
