What are people’s opinions on the effects of nicotine on musical interests?My observations suggest that recording engineers, conductors and performers will probably benefit from nicotine, but that non-smokers will tend to be the true listening lovers; smokers will have the knack for being picky and striving for perfection by focusing on fine details, but non-smoking listeners will be able to find more intrinsic pleasure by listening and experiencing.
I’m a non-smoker and tedious things drive me nuts, but I love listening to music.
I bet audio and music reviewers are more likely to be smokers (i.e., are more prone to the temptations of smoking).
To you smokers: How would you say nicotine affects your listening pleasure and listening style?
