The first few times using it (and actually feeling it), I probably looked and sounded like a complete moron. Now, though, even when I have long periods of not smoking...I just don't get that way. I smoke and I get very relaxed and my thoughts are brought to the moment. It's just enjoyable and enhances the time I spend hanging out with people.

I could write a freaking dissertation while baked out of my mind. People will not become more stupid. Lazy, maybe. But not stupid.
