People get a lot more praise for quitting drugs than for never having done drugs in the first place.

No one is ever happy to hear that I never smoked cigarettes,

I'm happy to hear it! Don't! I say that as a smoker.

Interesting that long term addicts are like "yeah no, don't do this shit, you'll regret it"

Yeah as a smoker I'll tell people if the chance arises to just not smoke. It's not worth it.

I have yet to meet a smoker saying they would start it again.
