OP asked for habits or hobbies. IMO smoking is a habit.

Yup he said that, didn't see it. But "habit" makes it sound so harmless though. Would you call it the same if it wasn't socially semi-acceptable or if it was crack not tobacco?

[–] lntl@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'd call smoking crack a habit. I don't categorize habits as harmless

Hm, addictions can involve learned habits, but it’s surely more than a habit. "Habit" implies the ability to just stop. But this is semantics :)
