Thread 512098779

My grandma who smoked like a chimney for years died of lung cancer when I was little and it scared the hell outta me. Awful way to go out. However, everyone else I know who's been smoking since the 80s or before is still smoking and fine. What's the deal with smoking and tobacco? Is it as deadly as people say it is?

Nicotine good, every avenue of getting it bad.

It's cool if you do it in eu
Its a bad thing if you do it in the us
You fags prefer smoking weed

>>512098779 (OP)
its bad for you

it stinks
it ruins your health
it ruins your skin
it gives you cancer
and it literally gives you a higher dose of radiation (most people dont even know this) than borderline anything else short of a mri scan everytime you smoke

and all that.. and you are paying for it

Weed is nasty and makes you retarded. What's worse is most potheads make it their entire personality. I like the way cigarettes smell and they don't make people dumb as fuck.

Nicotine gum tho?

Absolute dumbest thing you could ever do. If you don't smoke, don't do it. Cigarettes are insanely expensive. They fund the entire state economies through taxes. Fucking heroin is cheaper than cigarettes. And you will die a horrible death from cigarette smoking.

I smoke 2-3 packs a day. They're like $30 a pack i canada but worth every cent. I go jogging every morning and chainsmoke as im jogging. I quit drinking because ill smoke like 5 packs. Smoking is amazing and everyone should try it.

IN not I. im drinking right now so I also lied about quitting drinking. I had to get a higher paying job so I can afford to smoke.

Cigs aren't as bad as they say. You're better off with more natural tobacco products like pipe tobacco, cigars, and cigarillos. No extra bullshit and you don't inhale them. Almost everything about tobacco is a positive unless you're a fag. Read Smoke Screens if you want the real truth about tobacco. It's allll bullshit.

quitting smoking is hard, beating cancer is harder

it is the emphysema that gets ya

I smoked for like 20 years. Quitting was the hardest thing I ever did and I relapsed over and over. It's a horrible addiction your whole life is based on when you'll smoke next. At least for me. That's how it was.

I started smoking cigar products at 44. Best decision of my life. Can't believe I was a non-smoking faggot for that long lmao.

Very difficult to quit. Very stupid habit. Don't ever start.
That said, if you do get addicted, switch to Copenhagen Wintergreen to break the habit of, the act of smoking, then wheen yourself off the nicotine by reducing the dip. That's how I did it, you will still get tempted to smoke years later but it gets way easier after the first month and much easier after a year.

I smoked like half a pack a day for the 4 years I was in college, then switched to vaping afterwards. After 2-3 years, I quit vaping. I think vaping is VERY bad for brain function, I'm able to think more clearly today.

I wish I could return to before college and stop myself from ever using nicotine.

relatable

>>512099383
No. I recognize that all the men 20+ years ago smoked and they were way more based than us fags. Also it's nostalgic. Everyone I knew growing up smoked.
My papa would rock me to sleep as a baby while he smoked a cigarette and sipped Disaronno.

smoking is literally gay

>The use of tobacco products is higher among LGBTQ+ people than among heterosexual and cisgender people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Tf does that mean?

tobacco is actually really good for you which is why everyone smoked it for a million years so they poisoned it with radioactive radon based fertilizer on the plants and they soak the cigarettes in formaldehyde so they burn nonstop which makes them toxic as well
