What if I'm addicted to forum tangents?
Long term effects of anything are the stuff of massive studies. I'm not so sure that generic rules should be made for even individual addictive chemicals.
For example, "everyone knows" that alcoholism blows out your liver. But my gf worked in an assisted care facility with an alcoholic with a perfectly healthy liver but alcohol induced dementia. The immediate effects of alcohol ingestion are pretty predictable, but the long term effects, not so much.
