I’ve never quite understood why people can’t socially do tobacco like people who socially drink. What’s wrong with smoking a couple of cigs or putting a dip in every now and then? A lot of people have 2-4 alcoholic drinks a week. What would be so bad if doing the same with tobacco?

People focus too much on the extreme ends of things and never factor in moderation.

Lots of people do this. It's called "chipping". It's a myth that everyone who smokes is addicted.

That’s a great question and one I don’t have an answer for. I think with tobacco, for me anyway, my taste buds came alive after quitting temporarily years ago. When I had that first cigarette it tasted like crap. It was awful. I remember that and it doesn’t appeal to me anymore, and I loved smoking for years.
