Addiction or hobby?

11-16-2009, 03:22 PM

It's a hobby.

1) I don't NEED cigars in order to get through my day/week/month/whatever.
2) I can go weeks without a cigar and it doesn't bother me a bit.
3) It doesn't interfere with my financial situation and I'm not making decisions to either pay my cigar dealer or my bills.
4) I don't see crackheads rotating their junk while it ages and making sure it's kept at the right temp and humidity
5) I've never known an addict who was happy.

Smoking cigars is a hobby. Buying cigars is an addiction.

I don't mean this tongue in cheek, but I think all of us (in varying degrees, and myself included) get addicted to the buying and collecting and organizing.

Physiologically it's extremely difficult to become addicted to cigars. Not only is the nicotine absorbed in a slower and less direct fashion, but the nicotine itself has very little addictive property. The nicotine in cigars and the nicotine in cigarettes are two very different chemicals.

I bite my nails which is an addiction, it doesn't stop me from getting through the day, etc etc etc
