oh another thing. I think smoking, just like other addictions, is closly tied to depression in many cases. People get depressed and cut themselves. People get depressed and starve themselves. People get depressed and remain in abusive relationships.People get depressed and poison themselves with liqour, coke, heroin, whatever. They all are the same in that they are being used as self punishment.

The point of this one is that smoking just like other addictions/psychological problems are never as simple as they seem. People arent just addicted to nicotene. Thier nicotene addiction is there, and its real, but theres always going to be a deeprooted problem that is associated with it. Maybe they grew independently of each other at first, but at some point they linked up, and are know conjoined. I have had problems with depression in my life. Nothing crazy, but its definatley been part of my life. I am now facing those problems, and my life is getting much better. If I was in the same emotional state that Iwas in a year ago, therse no way in hell I couldve quit.
