You love them, but hate what they do to you. When I have not had one for awhile, I get agitated. My body feels almost detached from my consciousness. It is a strange feeling. I tend to get depressed when I don’t have the nicotine and then lash out at people around me, which further fuels my depression. As I am currently in the process of quitting, I can tell you that it is more than one factor involved. The first is of course the nicotine itself. It is highly addictive in approx. 80% of people. It was rated in one stufy I read as being as addictive as heroin and cocaine. The reason was because it messes with chemical receptors in the brain. This is the reason Zyban/Welbutrin (sp?) is effective for a lot of people that quit smoking. It also creates changes in the brain. Unfortunatly in my case, it induced a slight mania due to lack of sleep. Other factors include the habit. It becomes ingrained into you. It is a comforting ritual that soothes when you are upset. It is a way to wind down and relax. There have been times recently when I would dream about smoking, even though I am chewing the gum.

He can wear what he wants. He just needs to stop worrying about what other people will think of him. This road can be tough, I know because I am an ex-Psychobilly (that’s a cross between a rockabilly and a punk rocker). At first, even though I was comfortable in the clothing and it felt good, I would only wear it when I was going to be hanging out with the ‘group.’ After awhile, I decided that what I wanted was more important than what somebody I did not even know thought about my style of dress. I don’t dress that way now, but I still dress in a way that I am comfortable with. Tell him to worry less about what others think and worry more about how he feels.
