>Refusal isn't the right word, but anyway, yes, not eating is indeed a great solution to such a side effect, although it does have its limitations, depending on the supplies of fatty deposits among other things. Not breathing in response to the opioid side effect of respiratory depression is exploitable only to such a limited extent that is of no practical utility, unless suicide is the intent. Sexual abstinence has no such limitations, however, and therein lies a significant difference from the other examples.
