However, some people do not experience any of those negative effects and they find that a feeling of euphoria will often accompany the buzz that the nicotine brings. Then they’re hooked, despite the fact that they know it’s a disgusting habit that often has them spitting into random bottles and cups which could later be spilled by accident. They become hooked even though they are intelligent enough to know it’s a nasty, expensive, and possibly deadly habit.
Cooper Madison was one of those people.
As he sat on the balcony he debated whether or not to retrieve the unopened can of Skoal that he still had in his freezer, to only be used in case of emergency. He also thought about the last time he and his father argued over his tobacco habit while fishing prior to spring training in 2005.
“I really wish you wouldn’t do that crap, Son,” his father Jeffrey said, as he typically would every time he witnessed his son put a pinch of chew in his lip.
“I know, but do you have to say it every time?” Coop responded, annoyed, but also a little ashamed.
“It’s not just about the fact it’s dangerous, boy. It’s also about the fact that you are obviously too mentally weak to stop.”
Coop took a deep breath, held it for ten seconds, and then exhaled.
