But it helps.
While it might be tempting to paint substance abusers as unintelligent people, I think the real picture of the situation is much more complicated than that. Surely all types of people abuse substances, but I can say that personally, and of course this is purely anecdotal, some of the most intelligent people I've ever known were drug addicts in one form or another. Wasted potential is a shame. That being said, as far as tobacco, I smoke an occasional cigar; that's about it. Never got into cigarettes and vaping is needlessly expensive. Cigarettes seem to be the most pointless form of nicotine use as they don't even create a buzz for the user once the users hooked. At least a cigar gives me a nice buzz and a good taste in my mouth. Cigarettes taste like dirty air and provide absolutely no buzz for the user. Now that's moronic.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
