Comment on Most people in the workforce today have never had to answer the question "Smoking or nonsmoking?"
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoI ended up picking up smoking in college in the early 2000s and I have to wonder if the constant exposure to second hand smoke in places I worked, in cars from family members, etc, was a factor
I was disgusted at the time but then I fell into it. I quit eventually, which was a nightmare, but I do think the exposure to second hand nicotine from the age of like 2 was maybe a factor

If nothing else the constant exposure normalized it for you and made it easier to start. I’m glad you were able to quit. I’ve heard nicotine addiction can be stronger than heroin for some people. So kudos to you!

Nicotine has deep claws, that’s for sure. I wasn’t even a particularly heavy smoker and I still get a craving sometimes even coming up on ten years since I quit. Hell, I have the occasional dream about smoking still.
