Nasty

I have just put my first nicotine chewing gum in my mouth, and it is awful. Less awful than a cigarette, I'll give you that but awful nonetheless. It amazes me that a seemingly intelligent human being (which I consider myself to be) would deliberately ignite and inhale proven toxins for what ostensibly amounts to the cessation of the desire to deliberately ignite and inhale said toxins. I have over the years tried many times to quit smoking but constantly find excuses to go back. Actually I usually succumb to the "WTF" syndrome. By denying that I have an addiction (which I still believe is more psychological than physical) I allow myself to say "What the fuck, one won't hurt, It's not like I smoke a lot anyway." Wish me luck
