It is withdrawal. I believe that is why so many fail at trying to quit. It has been 10 years TODAY since I quit. I chewed on a lot of straws for months. Helped that everyone else smoked menthols which I didn’t like and refused to buy anymore.
Here’s what I found really interesting about today’s posts. When the Elly character is shouting (eyes closed, mouth wide open, exclamation points at the close of her speech, and whoever she is speaking to shown with hair blown back), posters fall all over themselves condemning her as a rotten mother or wife or woman or living entity, ugly hag, etc. When a male character like her own brother is shown shouting at someone (and he also shouted at Michael since he’s been in nicotine withdrawal, so not just an adult), no similar condemnation. I can’t recall anyone beratting him when he shouted at Michael, either. Is it because the shoutee is a man, so his action is more acceptable? Or is it because he’s shouting at a woman?
Lets take a moment to realize that we are all human, we all have bad days, and he’s going through a tough spot. Then we can laugh at how we’ve been in the same situation and can now look back at it and give a pained laugh.

It’s definitely nicotine withdrawal. She has three choices. Leave the room, leave the house or send him out of the room or the house.

Not sure I understand why you are saying that. What was Georgia doing that was as annoying as compulsive tapping?

My father called it "confounded thumpin’ ". We drove him crazy.
