Colorado, my aunt and cousin are apparently visiting just because they want to go to some dispensaries. It is vaguely insulting but I expect nothing less from her.

You have issues if a game gets to you that much and should have likely stopped players a long time ago

No need to sugar coat it. It’s scientifically proven to be detrimental to a persons health in various ways.

That’s an incredibly unhealthy habit… Stop playing this game if you can’t control yourself or your urges. You’re killing yourself, slowly but surely. Overwatch is not the game for you if this is the case.

Please stop killing yourself.

I smoked for almost 20 years off and on. I vape instead now, but yeah. I go through 100ml of e-juice every 2 weeks.

I wish more people didn’t smoke here. Even young people.

I take take the bus everywhere and there’s a 70% chance some rude, inconsiderate smoker will be sitting at the stop. I don’t care if someone wants lung cancer, but please don’t do it in a place where I can’t escape and am forced to sit there for 20+ minutes. I can’t stand these people. :rage:

Ah cheeky Roll ups in between games, nicotine mouth spray is good for quitting, you get the hit but it’s not tied to a replacement habit forming action like sucking on an inhaler or vaping.

If you haven’t tried vaping… not only is it MUCH cheaper than cigarettes (even if you roll your own), the immediate restoration of your lungs might be an incentive. I didn’t think I’d ever quit analog cigarettes. Chantix didn’t work, nicotine gum / patches didn’t work. What worked was the realization that the amount of money I spent on cigarettes totaled more than all of my student loans put together. The amount I spend on vaping is less than $15 a month.

2 problems I see with this statement.

1: you are blaming your unhealthy addiction to smoking on a video game.
2: you are that addicted to overwatch to begin with, that you have identified not only that you have an unhealthy habit, but that this video game makes it worse, and you continue doing it.

You honestly sound like you need to seek help in all seriousness.

To people who’ve never smoked before, you have NO IDEA how addictive nicotine is. It’s basically cheaper crack. The withdrawal from nicotine turns you into a rage monster. Sure, no one should ever smoke to begin with, but… the cat’s already out of the bag. Have some compassion.

Nowhere in my statement did I say nicotine isn’t addictive. Nor did I say that was the problem. Read again.

You’re right, you didn’t, but you also don’t understand how nicotine affects a user’s brain. It tricks you into thinking you need it in order to feel normal. You begin to forget what “normal” feels like if you don’t have a cigarette every so often. This effect is exasperated by regular stress / frustration – caused by, let’s say… Overwatch. The truth is, how a smoker SHOULD feel all the time is the same feeling one gets after having a cigarette. The withdrawal makes ordinary frustrations feel like mountains. So if you already smoke, you’re already affected by this. Add in the frustrations that Overwatch may and can cause, and now you can imagine how the OP feels.

My point is that if OP feels that Overwatch frustrates him to the point that he is excessively smoking and killing himself, he should not only stop playing Overwatch but seek help because he sounds like he needs it. And that is my way of showing compassion: offering advice to a random person on internet.

I have a cigerette between every game.

57

dont play the game anymore then :confused:

58

Ugh, me. But! I’ve just bought a vape kit to slowly ween myself off of nicotine and inevitably quit altogether again. I did it a few years ago, I can do it again.

Cigarettes don’t actually relieve stress, btw. They just give your brain a familiarity to focus on, which is comforting. Try swapping it out for something else.
