Why are cigarettes used to get a nicotine fix? Why aren’t other alternatives normally used like nicotine gum?
In: Biology
There is different forms of nicotine that effect how the body responds.
Also people have a ritual with smoking. Watch them, some will “pack” the cigarettes a certain way, then turn one upside down for good luck. Then they have a favorite lighter. Also there is a social aspect of smoking, especially in workplace. People will go out together and take smoke breaks.
Some people smoke way less at home than when they are at work.
Going outside with your friend to pop gum doesn’t have the same romance as smoking cigarettes together.
