    I was up to 2 packs a day before I quit years ago,and can definitely say that jolt was real. Nicotine is a stimulant after all.Its been something like 17 years and I still miss it sometimes.

    I can understand wanting to slap down any upside as a non-smoker, but we can’t just make stuff up.

      I’m an ex smoker too. 20 years a pack or more per day. Zero cravings. I don’t miss it at all.

      As I understand it, nicotine is a stimulant only if your body isn’t used to it. Your body adapts very fast to it (which is also why it’s so addictive).
