alcohol is physiologically worse than nicotine, but not nearly as instantly addictive.

i’ve watched people with much stronger mental fortitude than i try to quit nicotine and fail spectacularly. i don’t know any smokers who aren’t addicted.

nicotine scares the hell out of me because i do not want to be a slave to it

100% get you. I just thought it needed pointing out how bad alcohol is. Like you could die of lung cancer from smoking at 60 or from alcohol poisoning at 30. It's one of those things that's killed people the first time doing it.
