You are disgusting. Get into bdsm if you want to control other people so bad. At least that would be a positive outlet for your base innate human desire to dominate and control others.

I am not addicted to nicotine. I am addicted to having freedom.

You're apparently also addicted to unfounded exceptionalism. Since you haven't said anything specific, I'm assuming from your overwhelmingly passionate backlash that you've smoked routinely for at least a few years.

Well-understood medical literature will tell you you've developed a tolerance (this one's just obvious for any CNS stimulant), will have physical withdrawal symptoms for the first few weeks upon cessation, are very likely to have developed a psychological dependence, and just overall are exceedingly likely to have develped an addiction.

Maybe this was meant to be ironic and you're lampshading that you have an addiction while claiming it's irrelevant, but if not, I have four words: dude, you're not special.
