besides being very addictive pure pharmaceutical grade heroin causes no organ damage is not damaging to the kidney's liver and the only long term side effects are constipation problems. Like nicotine,where the harm comes from smoking, with heroin the harms come not from the drug itself but from, injecting with impure and unsterile needles--the delivery system. Nicotine does not appear to cause cancer or cardiovascular disease, and tobacco does not need to be smoked,it can be vaporized or snus'd
how do you explain that nicotine gum does not provide the same enjoyment of a cigar? - I have not smoked for 30 hours and is about to stop. but although I gum all the time, is my greatest wish instead a cigarette. please respond if you believe or know something - I can not understand it ...
Anti-psychotics like Seroquel, Olazapine ect...........most torturous withdrawal of them all... and the doctors dont even warn as they had them out like candy to everyone.
it's like alcholosim.... I have/had/ am trying not to- always have a drink in my hand.
Although Alchohol w/d can be up there with the worse of opiate addictions and can, through fits in extreme cases kill as has happened with Benzodiazepines (and Barb's in the past)
It's almost like there are always two sypmtoms to my addictions- the 'want' and the physical 'need'- as without medication one cant move and function
Been a long drawn-out puzzle for me! getting there!
nicotine IS addictive but not like heroin ..this is bs...nicotine is no more harmful than caffeine ..cigarettes are addictive because of the 1000's of chemicals in them..fuck this so called science manipulation of the facts
In the name of God most gracious most merciful; I quit smoking using an electronic cigarette from V2CIGS. It has been 4 days and counting and my breathing has improved 4 folds+ and my smell and taste's are back , enjoying food again, its great! Go buy one today, I recommend it to help you quit smoking. Salaam,Shalom,Peace!
Fuck the dopamine system. It's the most robust system we have in our brain. If you compare the psychological addiction people have to these drugs then that's likely similar, it's the physical addiction that is the worst. Heroin looks like an other natural drug we have in our body, endorphins, and it regulates the constant pain signals our nerves are sending. Heroin overstimulate the neurons, causing them to reduce the amount of endorphin receptors, which causes the horrible heroin addiction.
i found it quite easy to quit smoking but i was also helped with my electronic ciggerett though, though i am extremly adictive to that now....alot worse than smoking, so instead of a 12mg ciggie i am now on about 36mg e-liquid. but i feel so much more healthier now
just cause the brain responds in the same way doesnt mean it causes the same effect... so dont go smoking a pack to get a buzz (unless you wanna be sick)
Just affects similar areas relating to addiction and withdrawal.... Can tell u this for a fact.... sadly!
4 years clean but still on meds... Yey for me though! AWFUL stuff
@AresCassell ive never had herion or withdraw from it. but im currently fighting nicotine withdraw and some of the symptoms you mentioned ive noticed them in my case.
@AresCassell I hear you friend... It's taken me nearly a decade and although I'm 5 yrs free of street-junk am still sruggling with the last of my meds :(
-coming from a fool who's done everything worth doing: Dont touch the Gear... it really is massively overratted anyway... just take a few sleepers or something (if you HAVE to!)

I once bough a nicotine gum pack with 54 pieces and 4mg of nicotine each. I chewed the gum, held it between cheeck and gum like everyone else. I helped me overcome my cravings for excess alcahol. I finished the pack, with light cravings for nicotine for three days then I was over it. People are addicted to the ritual of lighting the cigarette, blowing out the smoke, watching the smoke, holding the cigarette etc. Nicotine is a small part of it.
@Dansthoughts i do not want a cigarette and i haven't smoked for 30 days i haven't wanted one since i've stopped but the nicotine patch program is for 10 weeks and if i don't change the patch or forget to put one on, ahhhh man i feel like shit. my mood becomes very unstable i may sweat a bit basically all the withdraws hit me at once.
ya reward.That why I enjoye it so much?I think the smell,taste,All of it.Last was Aug as a pack smoker.But would spend to get one still once in a while.Cause I still have the desires.then satified for days.Toobad.But that my only wrong.I caught a sibling smoke i was to tell mom.Well I was forced to smoke.Hooked right away.was 9 yr old.
I'll tell you my story I started smoking since 2007 and no it was not because I was tryingto be a rebel it's called my so called friends on a saturday gave me a smoke so yes it is peer pressure and I was 16 I don't hang out with them but i want to quit it depresses me enough with each cigar or ciggarette I'm slowly killing myself I'm 19
and nicotine is now an excuse keyword to deal with stress anxiety depression etc.
I need to quit But quiting is almost IMPOSSIBLE please give me any tips
i was a smoker for 12 years and last month i said fuck it, haven't had a smoke for weeks of course i've got other things to stimulate the senses.. don't we all? if u ever start smoking ur a fool who looks like a fool by trying to fit in. stand above n be smart! u'll meet WAY cooler people..
Anyone who has experienced both addictions for over 13 years like me then they will aggree with me that herion is in a different league totally am i right>??? only until u have done both can u really give an honest answer......STAY OFF DRUGS THEY TAKE YOUR MIND BODY AND SOUL.
People who say Nicotine is as hard as herion obviously have never been a heroin addict and they are trying to make it easier for themselves to give in because it''s too hard but that is just bollocks. heroin is pure evil and u r a walking deadman on that shit.
Ive heard that nicotine and heroin trigger the same brain receptor or something. Snus (smokeless tobacco) gives a greater buzz than cigarettes and lasts longer, and the buzz is similar to heroins effect. Fuck cigarettes, there much worse for you than smokeless tobacco.
@DaBeast9352 No side effects? I tried a piece of 4 mg Nicorette gum one time and my heart started doing the minute waltz. I've never had spinach do that to me before.
@101piesaregood Yeah well drugs like barbiturates are less addictive than heroin and they have been known to kill people who tried to quit. Withdraw doesnt define addiction.
@101piesaregood Not only that but alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures too does that mean it is less addictive than cocaine which doesnt cause seizures.
yeah but if you knew how intense heroin addiction was you wouldn't be saying that, if its anything like oxycontin addiction (which i had), and i'm also addicted to nicotene, for me opiate addiction is more of a physical need whereas nicotene just makes you crave it psychologically. maybe I should have stated that before posting that comment down there because I do agree with you, withdrawl symptoms doesn't define addiciton
legalize meth instead of weed. weed makes you dizzy, hungry, and sleepy. meth, now that's productive. it's like smoking nicotine, but to the 10th power of 10.
Nicotine is no were near the pleasure of heroin, I've used both. Why don't they mention orgasm and tobacco act on the same part of the brain? (dopamine, beta-endorphins)
The worse thing that happens with tobacco withdrawal is feeling irritable, opiate withdrawal is a class of it's own.
I dont get the comment about nicotine being good for you since it is a natural insecticide and one of the first one discovere,its still in use today for certain crops.
nicotine has been used to kill people in the past too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah we all know nicotine is more than highly addictive, but we also know that while tobacco smoking is lethal, nicotine is very healthy. Not only an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety aid, it also prevents against the future onset of Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Dementia. It is a relative of Vitamin B, which is also called nicotinic acid or niacin. So, what's the solution? Get an electronic cigarette! :-)
I doubt it's the nicotine. It' s probably all the other crap they put in there on purpose. I switched to organic no-additive smokes and I was travelling one day and had to go 12 hours without a smoke and didn't have a nic fit. I think if you went a comparable time without heroin you'd be jonesing pretty bad. I don't see how you can compare the two.
Smoking tobacco may well be as addictive as heroin - just not euphoric. When your addicted you'll always be careful to take your cigarettes out with you, and make sure you have a good supply. I always take my tobacco, with my wallet. I simply can't leave my house without my cigs.
heroin is way harder to quit. I have quit smoking before, and let me tell you that quitting smoking is a walk in the park. Quitting smoking doesn't completely fuck u up to the point where u cant function or feel any pleasure from anything. Heroin withdrawals are like feeling completely dead inside while not have the energy to move. I would compare quitting opiates to quitting food. Your body feels like its starving to death and u feel like you are dying.
lol, i completely agree with lamb of god, i was a heavy weed smoker, i had a little run in with cocaine also, and i quite both of those, but continued to occasionally smoke ciggarretes
Ciggarettes are harder to quite than heroin due to you cant just go to the corner store,and buy a pack of twenty.You cant just go and ask the nearest person around you if they have a shot a heroin. You dont look over your shoulder,and see somone shooting up everyday. Not only that but I used to smoke weed I had a "Run in" with Coke I did Xanex at one point. I quite all of that but I noticed out of all that cigarettes are the hardest thing to overcome.
lamb of god your talking utter rubbish. firstly there is a thing called triggers, meaning a heroine addict will be triggered to mentally want drug by the oddest thing, such as a time of day, a sound, the heroine addicts brain thinks differently to a normal person. plus for an addict it is easier to score heroine than buy cigs, all it takes is one phonecall, tobacconists arnt that efficient, & the pain of withdrawl is a pretty big motivational tool.
And how long did you do heroine for ? though im not going to be a complete ass hole I gues I never have either so what ever.On the other hand I have tried other drugs I did coke for a little while and none of it was harder to quite than smoking.
look this is going to sound like im bragging ,trust me nothing is fuurther from the truth, im clean now, but i have spent the better part of a decade on heroin and crack, ruined my life, court ordered drug treatments. etc etc. horror stories etc, there is no comparison to nicotine
I'm not talking about the popularity of heroin compared to nicotine, I'm talking about addiction. Its alot harder for someone to quit heroin verses someone trying to quit nicotine.
you statement regarding how many people are addicted to heroin with a think about it as if obviously smoking more addictive is daft. for one you havnt factored in the amount of people who try heroin to amount who try smoking. also people want to get off heroin more earnestly as it steal the rest of their lives, smoking only because of the fear of cancer, but every smoker thinks one more cig wont make a difference either way. And youve been there urself have you ? how did you kick heroin?
I kicked a very long hard heroin habit 9 years ago and I want to quit smoking but I can't. I guess the key word is "want". If I really wanted to I would. There is a huge difference Between dope and cigs.. Heroin ravages your entire soul. The pain becomes so great you have a choice. Live or kill urself slowly, And the pain is immense. Beyond words. It's hard. draigan put it well. I guess with smoking it's just a bad habit with bad smells and ashes and one day u find out u are going to die from it
i'd have to respectfully disagree... being a smoker and knowing enough smokers, they do tend to get just a bit antsy and angry when feeling the withdrawl symptoms. some have even gotten violent.
now, yes, i will agree that it's not as intense as what i've read about the heroin users withdrawl symptoms, but it is there in some cases.
Yes there angry to a differant level, I can not comment on anyone you have seen but in everyone I have seen it is just like a female with PMS.
Herione addicts will go to the extent of stealing from their family, and robbing people, sleeping with strange people, losing everything and even stabbing people just for a hit
yeah but thats only becasue H is illegal, cigurettes are a lot easier to obtain and therefore smokers don't have to go to the same lenghts so get a 'hit' im a smoker and i've spent some days hunting my entire house for pennies when i havent had enough money to buy a pack. i can only imagine what heroine would be like
@theoneandonly690 This is only my personal experience speaking here, but I found getting off heroin easier than trying to get of nicotine. I could kick smack but have yet to kick the nic. Granted many factors go into quitting an addictive substance and heroin addiction, particularly IV, produces some knarly health consequences quickly which definitly motivated me. I quit cigs and snus now, but I still cant go without the snus.
bit presumptous, how many Heroin addicts have you met? is your experiance from news stories and films? I know smokers who pick through asstrays for enough tobbacco for a roll up, I think the only difference is the difficulty in getting heroin compared to nicotine, but I bet, if a nicotine addict needs a fix, they will get one, been there myself.
of coarse they do hurt others they will put there habit in front of loved one in where if there have the choice weather to feed there children or buy a pack of cigeretes they help them selves b4 there loved ones
Don't think it's that bad dude, ive been smoking for a long time and i know that if i had a choice on whether to either get a pack of cigs or feed my kids i think id feed my kids. Just because me smoke it doesn't mean we turn into complete selfish bastards
Heroin couldn't be as addicting as nicotine. I am addicted to nicotine, and if I really have to, I can go about 5 days without a cigarette. Heroin addicts usually can't even last until the evening of the day.
Heroin addiction is more extreme, but its pretty well known that nicotine is harder to stay away from in the long run. Think about it.. once you kick heroin you can distance yourself from the lifestyle, etc.. but with nicotine the temptation is always all around you.
Is it the same thing if you walk by somebody smoking and accidentally smell some of it?
I try to plug my nose when I walk by people smoking outside of stores, but I'll look stupid if I do it for too long so sometimes I just unplug it and try my hardest not to breathe in for a couple of seconds. Sometimes I'm not so lucky.
It kind of annoys me when people smoke RIGHT outside the door. Have some decency. Go get stupid yourself, don't harm other people.
I started smoking a year ago when my friend offered me a cigarette. It only took one in my case to get hooked. My parents do not know and they would FREAK OUT if they knew. I feel really guilty. I have no cigarettes on me right now and it was all I could do NOT to buy another pack when I was out doing errands this a.m. I am trying to quit and it's VERY HARD.
Hey, I know how you feel, I was keeping it quiet and THEN my uncle found out and now my parents know. I have been in royal CRAP for the last 3 wks!!!! Have backslid a bit but am down to one smoke a day with the help of Nicoderm. Sorry that your mate stopped talking to you. I face the "temptation" all the time b/c my friend continues to smoke and I love her to bits but I am finding that I have to distance myself or I might cave in again.
Have you been able to cut back or stop? Hang in there!
sorry but my (opinion, strctly my opinion) is that heroin is a hell of alot harder to quit xanax or any other benzo, i have never been addicted to benzo's but i cant imagine a greater pain or craving that i have gone through trying to quitt heroin
that cool but honestly until youve been hooked on benzos u cant really say, even after 9 months off benzos i was so violently ill i crawled under my bed to die, there is not a word in the english dictionary that comes close to describing it, i had heroin addicts feeling sorry for me in rehab, whilst they were getting better around the 2nd and 3rd week i was gettin much sicker.
not only do u feel like you are about 2 drop dead but ur head goes like a bad trip at the same time and it can last years once off. imagine going through heroin wihdrawal and a bad acid trip at the same time for 3 years or more, its not good believe me, i neva believed in god b4 all of it but i sure do now.
uhm i dont know what you guys are talking about saying that its not tht hard to quit smoking. I have had withdrawal so bad from not having a cigarette in just a couple hours. my whole body shakes, i feel all warm , then cold, then warm, and i get these INTENSE cravings to smoke a cigarette, its all i can think about.
This video is not true. Drs Hanan Frenk and Reuven Dar have written a book called 'A Critique of Nicotine Addiction' that proves no such thing. I searched for this guy on the Internet and turned up nothing. I tried different spellings - nothing. Another drug company fraud to justify their prodicts and further the urban myth.
this video is misleading. Physiological withdrawal from nicotine is pie compared to heroin (or any opiates). Though psychological withdrawal may be comparable - but that's much harder to assess in an objective manner.
Nicotine and opiates are completely different types of exogenous ligands. But recent research has found that Nicotine does activate at least one type of opioid recepter.
Ok when I don't have a cigarette for a day or 2 I don't vomit and sweat and shake like a heroin addict would. It's addicting but lets not blow it out of proportion... It's not even that hard to quit after not having a smoke in like 5 days it's all about willpower and unfortunately lots of people don't have enough.
How many do you smoke in a day on average and how long have you regularly smoked. I smoked 20 plus per day for 14 years and it was hell to kick. 2 weeks of insomnia, headaches, triedness and a increased stress but after 2 weeks it faded. If you're trying to kick the habit please stick it out, it does get easier and it's worth it after about a month.
I smoke 5 a day and iv been smoking them for 4 years. I used to smoke a pack a day but I couldn't afford it and I would feel like shit all day if i did smoke a pack. The only thing I hate about smoking 5 is you smoke them like theyre nothing and your never pleased. I still have days where ill say fckit and smoke as much as i want but those are rare. All i get is time dilation and irritation if i don't smoke for a day.. But after like 3 days ill be fine.. than it's just willpower.
Knowing from personal experience how psychologically addictive nicotine is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's as addictive as heroin in that sense. It's a good thing (for my future) that nicotine doesn't have heroin's physically addictive aspect as well.
Well, I'm not a rat and I've never done heroin so I can't give you a personal account to make your story accurate.
I do know that the withdraws are completely 100% different. Watch someone going through nicotine withdraw and one going through heroin withdraw. There's no comparison.
That might be because there is no physical depedance for cocaine, only a so-called psychological dependance. There are both for nicotine (the psychological part being the hardest to get rid off I think in most smokers).
Cocaine withdrawal has no physical threat (that we know of). For nicotine, it's better to go gradually (that's what one does with the patches).
i cant believe that they are comparing nicotine to heroin. damn, what if a kid who just started smoking cigarettes think that heroin would be similar to cigarettes and start smoking heroin. That would leave the kid in a whole different world. And the withdrawl symptoms, its like burning in hell. Ever had a feeling that you are in a heaven in a second and the other second you are burning in hell ?These government fucks are so fucking stupid.
you couldnt be more right, i smoke and i do heroin and i would trade a carton of cigarettes for a few hits of heroin, its 2 completley diffrent addictions, and the withdrawl symptoms arnt really burning, you get COLD ice cold then you get hot as hell but your still freezing at the same time and you sweat and the cravings hit you, with cigaretes you know you just get anxious , nothing in comparison i agree with you 100%
besides being very addictive pure pharmaceutical grade heroin causes no organ damage is not damaging to the kidney's liver and the only long term side effects are constipation problems. Like nicotine,where the harm comes from smoking, with heroin the harms come not from the drug itself but from, injecting with impure and unsterile needles--the delivery system.

Ive heard that nicotine and heroin trigger the same brain receptor or something. Snus (smokeless tobacco) gives a greater buzz than cigarettes and lasts longer, and the buzz is similar to heroins effect. Fuck cigarettes, there much worse for you than smokeless tobacco.

theres no way its equally as addictive as heroine
nicotene doesn't make your bones hurt or give you seizures when you try to quit

@101piesaregood Yeah well drugs like barbiturates are less addictive than heroin and they have been known to kill people who tried to quit. Withdraw doesnt define addiction.

@101piesaregood Not only that but alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures too does that mean it is less addictive than cocaine which doesnt cause seizures.

@ThaNickstaftw
yeah but if you knew how intense heroin addiction was you wouldn't be saying that, if its anything like oxycontin addiction (which i had), and i'm also addicted to nicotene, for me opiate addiction is more of a physical need whereas nicotene just makes you crave it psychologically. maybe I should have stated that before posting that comment down there because I do agree with you, withdrawl symptoms doesn't define addiciton

Nicotine is no were near the pleasure of heroin, I've used both. Why don't they mention orgasm and tobacco act on the same part of the brain? (dopamine, beta-endorphins)
The worse thing that happens with tobacco withdrawal is feeling irritable, opiate withdrawal is a class of it's own.

Yeah, yeah, yeah we all know nicotine is more than highly addictive, but we also know that while tobacco smoking is lethal, nicotine is very healthy. Not only an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety aid, it also prevents against the future onset of Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Dementia. It is a relative of Vitamin B, which is also called nicotinic acid or niacin. So, what's the solution? Get an electronic cigarette! :-)

I doubt it's the nicotine. It' s probably all the other crap they put in there on purpose. I switched to organic no-additive smokes and I was travelling one day and had to go 12 hours without a smoke and didn't have a nic fit. I think if you went a comparable time without heroin you'd be jonesing pretty bad. I don't see how you can compare the two.

Smoking tobacco may well be as addictive as heroin - just not euphoric. When your addicted you'll always be careful to take your cigarettes out with you, and make sure you have a good supply. I always take my tobacco, with my wallet. I simply can't leave my house without my cigs.

heroin is way harder to quit. I have quit smoking before, and let me tell you that quitting smoking is a walk in the park. Quitting smoking doesn't completely fuck u up to the point where u cant function or feel any pleasure from anything. Heroin withdrawals are like feeling completely dead inside while not have the energy to move. I would compare quitting opiates to quitting food. Your body feels like its starving to death and u feel like you are dying.

Ciggarettes are harder to quite than heroin due to you cant just go to the corner store,and buy a pack of twenty.You cant just go and ask the nearest person around you if they have a shot a heroin. You dont look over your shoulder,and see somone shooting up everyday. Not only that but I used to smoke weed I had a "Run in" with Coke I did Xanex at one point. I quite all of that but I noticed out of all that cigarettes are the hardest thing to overcome.
Lamb00FGoD 2 years ago 2
lamb of god your talking utter rubbish. firstly there is a thing called triggers, meaning a heroine addict will be triggered to mentally want drug by the oddest thing, such as a time of day, a sound, the heroine addicts brain thinks differently to a normal person. plus for an addict it is easier to score heroine than buy cigs, all it takes is one phonecall, tobacconists arnt that efficient, & the pain of withdrawl is a pretty big motivational tool.

you statement regarding how many people are addicted to heroin with a think about it as if obviously smoking more addictive is daft. for one you havnt factored in the amount of people who try heroin to amount who try smoking. also people want to get off heroin more earnestly as it steal the rest of their lives, smoking only because of the fear of cancer, but every smoker thinks one more cig wont make a difference either way. And youve been there urself have you ? how did you kick heroin?
bryngOneOn 2 years ago
I kicked a very long hard heroin habit 9 years ago and I want to quit smoking but I can't. I guess the key word is "want". If I really wanted to I would. There is a huge difference Between dope and cigs.. Heroin ravages your entire soul. The pain becomes so great you have a choice. Live or kill urself slowly, And the pain is immense. Beyond words. It's hard. draigan put it well. I guess with smoking it's just a bad habit with bad smells and ashes and one day u find out u are going to die from it

i'd have to respectfully disagree... being a smoker and knowing enough smokers, they do tend to get just a bit antsy and angry when feeling the withdrawl symptoms. some have even gotten violent.

@theoneandonly690 This is only my personal experience speaking here, but I found getting off heroin easier than trying to get of nicotine. I could kick smack but have yet to kick the nic. Granted many factors go into quitting an addictive substance and heroin addiction, particularly IV, produces some knarly health consequences quickly which definitly motivated me. I quit cigs and snus now, but I still cant go without the snus.

this video is misleading. Physiological withdrawal from nicotine is pie compared to heroin (or any opiates). Though psychological withdrawal may be comparable - but that's much harder to assess in an objective manner.
Nicotine and opiates are completely different types of exogenous ligands. But recent research has found that Nicotine does activate at least one type of opioid recepter.

Ok when I don't have a cigarette for a day or 2 I don't vomit and sweat and shake like a heroin addict would. It's addicting but lets not blow it out of proportion... It's not even that hard to quit after not having a smoke in like 5 days it's all about willpower and unfortunately lots of people don't have enough.

How many do you smoke in a day on average and how long have you regularly smoked. I smoked 20 plus per day for 14 years and it was hell to kick. 2 weeks of insomnia, headaches, triedness and a increased stress but after 2 weeks it faded. If you're trying to kick the habit please stick it out, it does get easier and it's worth it after about a month.

All i get is time dilation and irritation if i don't smoke for a day.. But after like 3 days ill be fine.. than it's just willpower.

That might be because there is no physical depedance for cocaine, only a so-called psychological dependance. There are both for nicotine (the psychological part being the hardest to get rid off I think in most smokers).
Cocaine withdrawal has no physical threat (that we know of). For nicotine, it's better to go gradually (that's what one does with the patches).
