Melancholics tend to suffere from mental health issues like addiction so many of us are prone to it.

I drink 5-10 cups of coffee a day. Basically all day long. I’m pretty much an addict. Just happy it’s not that expensive and unhealthy.

I think I need one addiction at least.

I’ll look up if they sell caffeine pills in Belgium :belgium:.

Edit: they do, maybe I will try them one day.

We got nicotin replacements, but what, if they get taxed higher as well. We just can’t trust our government. I remember refusing the medication and these days i have to pay for it.

I thought there was scientific proof that smoking cigarettes help with racing thoughts in schizophrenic persons. Or maybe it helps clear thinking. Anyway, don’t want to encourage anyone, I quit in 1992.

My doctor claims that it aren’t the APs which make sz’s die earlier but the smoking, overweight, sedentary lifestyle,…

I think it’s more 50/50

I wonder how many murders would happen if there was a global overnight ban on cigarettes.

Just ruminating…
