View submission: Coffee Culture Sucks
I hate to break this to you but you are just as addicted to the caffeine as you were to the nicotine. Caffeine is just socially acceptable and doesn’t give you cancer
Edit: I’m really starting to believe the world consists of just addicts and people who say they aren’t addicts

Nope. Coffee is addictive but not "just as addictive" as tobacco. This is a myth pushed by the tobacco industry to soften their image.

I’ve actually mostly quit drinking coffee over the last year and I didn’t even do it intentionally. I still love coffee, and occasionally I get a craving for one on an early morning or something, but to compare it to smoking is just nonsense. It took me 6 months to feel like I was mostly free from the grip of smoking, and probably a year or more before I was confident I wouldn’t ever backslide.
