There's something wrong with human nature.

Why do some people battle obesity, while others are able to keep their weight in check? OK, I guess it's not <i>that</i> dumb a question to ask.
In my case it's a decent metabolism, combined with a heavy cigarette habit (tobacco smoking really does lower your weight, although it's obviously a trade-off against all the lung damage, smelling like smoke all the time and high cigarette prices), and the discipline to realize that overeating just isn't worth it. But the bottom line is that some people are just born lucky in this regard and some are not- Just like with drug addiction and alcoholism.

Definitely, no question! I've mentioned this before, my heroin habit wasn't all bad. The benefits included enhanced creativity, trading & writing skills, absence of depression, and an artificial sense of zen/well-being & peace of mind.
Rearden, I saw this first time today. What do you think if it is real or scam? I do not smoke, but when I read this post I think of you.

Tough nut to crack when all of that is at stake. I suppose if one gave up an addiction, the trade off of benefits are difficult to rationalize or non existent. The only emotion would be anger, and loss to yourself of the above mentioned benefits.
Imo, the anger and loss are temporary in the big picture. I'm serious, for instance, you can't stop being creative but creativiness could take on a different form than you are used to. How? no clue but if you try to force something it doesn't work but if nature takes its course, it'll happen and you won't even notice the change.

I've been planning to try electronic cigarettes eventually- probably the day I finally see them on the shelf of my local walmart. For the time being, I've read that some people like them and some don't (so it's worth a shot), but for now e-cigs are marketed by uber-shady companies that scam you in various ways and make you sign up for an eternal subscription that's probably hard to cancel (think aol).
we are all pleasure-seeking organisms..what's your pleasure 
drugs add nothing ... but illusion
"wrong with human nature" ... this last thing the world needs are more advocates of delusion.
The weakest in society are the most susceptible to want of an escape.
You, my friend, sound like a Jewish version of Hitler.
