I'm familiar with nicotine addiction. I dipped and smoked a pack a day for 3 years starting as a 16 year old, quit for 5 years, vaped for 2 years, and quit again. That was probably 2 years ago. There are positive effects but it was annoying to need it so I quit. Excessive internet usage, pornography, video games, and coffee have been overall worse for my quality of life than tobacco or nicotine in it's various forms. I did pretty much every category of drug in that time range of 16 - 19 and feel no carryover of habits.
