Seeing someone you love addicted to something harmful is very sad.
Being addicted to cigarettes or any substance isn’t really relevant here.
The point I was trying to make, is that these sales tactics exploit a feature hominids have developed which would have been critical for survival. In situations where a reward is uncertain (hunting) a gland in our brain releases a stimulant to help us stay focused and look for opportunities to improve the outcome.
It’s easier to avoid a trap when you know how it works.
I think I’m just tired of stupid people falling in love with everything they see on social media. I know thinking for yourself is hard but never before it was so clear most people just don’t think at all.
Not quite sure what you’re getting at.
