"A drug that produces more of a high than nicotine isn't "physically addictive"?" Do you know the difference between physical and psychological addictions?

re: A drug that produces more of a high than nicotine isn't "physically addictive"? Doesn't pass the smell test, no pun intended. And you wouldn't let someone with actual experience get in the way of your ill informed prejudice, would you? It says a lot about the credibility of your positions on other issues you know nothing about. Sort of funny, really. John

>A drug that produces more of a high than nicotine isn't "physically addictive"? Correct. There's a difference between psychologically addictive ("I do this because it feels good, tastes good, etc") and physically addictive ("I do this because if I don't, I get the shakes, clammy hands, headaches..."). -Z

"A drug that produces more of a high than nicotine isn't "physically addictive"?" You don't know what "physical addiction" is. Google it and educate yourself. It's medically distinct from "psychological addiction", which is the type you can develop with pot, choclate, food and sex.
