There is a HUGE difference between physical addition and physcological addiction.

Smokers have a strong and controling PHYSICAL addiction to nicotine.

And that would be 4:20, not 4:30.

I gave up Copenhagen just about 1 year ago now. I still get cravings -- almost on a daily basis. Damned straight it's a physical addiction.

Of course, that doesn't mean tobacco should be illegal, either.

Agreed. Your addiction is also strong. Physically, you don't need it, but mentally you think you need it. The difference is not so huge!

I really don't think so. I think it's a psychological thing. Cig smokers hav had the "it's more addictive than cocaine and heroin" shoved down their throat for so long they've started to believe they have to have help in quitting.

And I don't think pot is addictive either, but that's just my personal opinion. I have no science to prove the statement one way or the other.
