I'm a nicotine addict, big time.
I've driven in the middle of the night, during an ice storm, in a car without chains or snow tires, searching for an hour for ANY place open that sold cigarettes. When it was obvious that even the bars were closed, I actually drove to a friends house, woke them up and asked to buy some of theirs. Now this is 3am by now, fridged cold storm, dark, and I've NO excuses like, drinking too much... stone cold sober, but no embarrassment too great... NOTHING could be worse than being without nicotine until morning when the stores reopened.
ADD numerous trash digging butts, culling the longest ones from ash trays at parties, going out in middle of night to check the car ash trays... I've used the hair dryer to dry out those from trash that were wet with 'something', and smoke them as soon as dry enough...
