I feel I can say with certainty that it helps me heavily with focus and energy. I've most primarily had issues quitting because of that. I have rather severe depression that I've not been willing to go to SSRI's to treat due to my interest in the arts. I possibly have ADD. I definitely have oral fixation (teehee). There's alot of neurochemical/psychological factors that can increase dependence on this drug just as any drug. It really is easier for some to quit than it is for others. If I had quit, I wouldn't have watched this video. I wouldn't be able to. You're tough! I hope you stay off it, yo. Nicotine's... pretty awful, as a drug. I don't personally see it as the worst, but it's definitely not great.
