Here is a tiny taster:

….. If you look at it like that there would be some argument that you would have to be crazy to smoke. Actually, it’s a completely reasonable statement, you WOULD have to be crazy to smoke, but on the other hand if we take that statement seriously rather than as a joke we’ve got a problem, because it would mean that twenty-one percent of adults in the US are certifiably insane, and that, let’s face it, is unlikely. What we’ve got is a lot of people who are perfectly rational most of the time but do something that isn’t rational at all, which they can’t explain so they don’t try. Now that’s what I call crazy.

You know you can’t justify smoking, but at the same time you can’t stop. That, in a nutshell, is what psychological dependence means. The addiction to nicotine creates the belief not only that you can’t stop smoking but that you don’t want to, but it can only do this on one level, which is really interesting. On the intellectual level you know you want to stop but on the emotional level you know you don’t. It’s a cunning trick. Addiction can only control you on the emotional level. It can’t change logic, it can’t change white to black, it can’t make smoking make sense. It can only make you afraid, and that is exactly what it is supposed to do, because by being afraid you are in the control of tobacco and the pushers who sell it.
