In this episode of the Kill The Can Podcast, Chewie shares a surprising social media debate that challenged one of the most basic assumptions about quitting nicotine.

A public health advocate argued that the words addict and addiction are stigmatizing — and even suggested that nicotine itself should not be considered addictive.

Chewie breaks down the conversation, discusses the cold turkey philosophy of quitting nicotine, and asks the community for feedback.

Can anyone quit nicotine with dedication and will?

Or do people need nicotine replacement tools to succeed?
