    I thought about that but two things. 1) nicotine patches don’t give you the same amount afaik. 2) There are more addicting things in cigarettes, people that switch to vaping (same nicotine) say it doesn’t hit as much. 3) also why I said for the caffeine instead of who enjoy coffee.

      Most people that say “I just drink coffee for the caffeine” likely think that, but actually do like the coffee experience.

      People who just want caffeine do indeed take caffeine pills

        I do not know I like caffeine. But I like to drink coffee.

        Do people know she or he likes caffeine or coffee?

          Id bet for most that its a package deal. The coffee ritual is a fine thing on its own, but people generally start drinking coffee for “energy.”

          After a while, you like the coffee and the energy.

      nicotine patches and lozenges are actually similarly great. Just low level nicotine for hours. If I don’t have enough water or am too tired to start with then they will cause low-grade nausea though.
