Attitudes towards different addictions
I've never been a smoker addicted to cigarettes but i know lots of people who are. It struck me the other day that if these people are trying to stop smoking and make it publicly known, they don't get fellow smokers offering them cigs and saying 'oh just have one!' ? Unlike people who are trying to give up alcohol , who often get pressured into drinking and 'just having one'. Also, someone who is addicted to alcohol isn't just a 'drinker' they're an 'alcoholic'. But someone addicted to nicotine is always just a 'smoker' not a 'smokeaholic' !? Hmm !
