Same thing.

Not everyone who smoked a cigarette, continues to smoke. While nicotine is seen as "addictive". If something was addictive on its own, without your control, you wouldn't be able to stop. Understanding psychology plays a part in it, basically the, "Why are drug addicts addicted to X drug?" it's not the drug that makes them addicted to it. It's the problems that lead to the use of the drug and the effect that overlaps the problem. Therefore, you seek more to avoid your problem. This is my take on it. For example, who likes the taste of alcohol? Not many without acquiring the taste for it and then, why did you acquire a taste for such a thing?

Beers could contain chloride, phosphates, sulfates, nitrates and fluoride.

Defining "Addiction" is a difficult thing. Not the definition of addiction but the concept of addiction and why it happens.

Part 3 is where the solutions begin. Parts 1 and 2 are the introductions to the ideas and the reflection of what we have done.

Surely you're not saying (or he's saying, whatever, I'm going to watch it later) that purely psychological addictions are the same thing as for example, a heroine addiction? Do you see "shopaholics" throwing up and having mental breakdowns because they can't go shopping? There's a difference between wanting to do something because it makes you feel good (over-eating, over-gambling, over-shopping, over-exercising, the list goes on), and being stuck with a body that craves whatever chemical you started putting into your body, and retaliates physically if it doesn't get it. Nicotine is a weak chemical, the only physical retaliation will be feeling a bit cranky. The psychological part comes into play when you've fooled yourself into a need you don't really have; relying on it.

But, I'm posting this without context and I'll come back when I've watched it. Even though most of what was said in the earlier Zeitgeists was bullshit, I like what he's doing. Rock on, the truth is out there.
