Cigars cause insanity

[JDoughty]

Reasons that people were admitted to the Lunatic Asylum in Brooklyn, NY in 1868. I know how they feel! Waiting for the new Bond Roberts cigars to be available in the US is driving me nuts too. 😆

They might be on to something. Some may argue that secondary exposure leads to spousal insanity. 

Cheers!

Interesting. You could substitute just about anything for tobacco and declare it a disorder then.

Social media - prevalence: 95% of population below 40 years of age.

Sex - prevalence: 100% of men

Junk food...

Yes as long as the end result is that it is causing the person significant impairment and distress.

Exactly right - when not related to a chemical substance one would refer to it as a “process addiction.” Theoretically one can develop them in a wide range of areas, but the most common are gambling (which has been shown to affect the limbic system in addicts similarly to drugs like cocaine), shopping, computer/device, sex/love and pornography. 

Gambling addiction is the sleeping dragon in the US. Nicotine may be the most addictive substance used by humans, but you don’t often find it driving people to steal to fuel the habit. The worst you’ll typically see is black market buying.

Welp, all of us are going to the asylum. Get your most fashionable smoking straitjackets ready.

Fortunately the few studies that looked at cigars have found that it does not drive addiction in most users the way cigarettes or vaping do. This is at the heart of the PCA’s lawsuit against the FDA, who essentially ignored these findings when responding to public inquiry.

Having to wait for the new Bond Roberts cigar release is definitely causing me significant impairment and distress. 😆
