Agreed with those who talk about the buzz from tobacco. Can get it from other sources of tobacco too. Very mild and short in length. Definitely a tolerance for it though that'll develop pretty quick if you use it frequently. It's the only reason I go back to tobacco every now and then.


Anyways 420 > cigarettes. If it doesn't get you high, then it ain't worth the dime.

Smoking is like punctuation.

About to begin a task? Have a dart.
Finish a project? Have a dart.
In the middle of a challenge? Pause for a dart.

That’s why it’s so hard to quit, because it’s impossible to replace. They are the capital letter, question mark, exclamation mark and full stops (periods) of life.

Pros:
- cognitive benefits of nicotine (srs)
- cigarettes/dip can slow/protect against tooth decay in high sugar diet (not gum degeneration lol)

Cons:
- vitamin A and C actually become toxic if you smoke due to upregulated enzymatic activity
- if you fall asleep while smoking you may start on fire

Also, cigs are ridiculously expensive nowadays and ruin your health. Alienate you from non smokers (brb gonna excuse myself from this conversation to have a cig) but helps you bond with other smokers.

Can help with weight loss. Note I said can. Still plenty of fat AF smokers (makes you wonder why someone would hate their body so much)

Cigs increase your chances of developing just about every disease there is (srs)

Pros: can look cool, creates a break in the day, minor buzz (more so when drunk), good for socialising.

Cons: highly addictive, destroys your life expectancy, both lung cancer and emphysema are horrible ways to die, ruins your cardio, makes you reek of stale tobacco, your hands never stop stinking, your mouth tastes like burnt garbage, ruins sense of taste and smell, gets you to mix with habitual smokers who are more likely to be lowlifes, and it's ridiculously expensive.

JFL @ smoking in 2020.

You smell bad
Everything around you smell bad (car, house, clothes, furniture, etc.)
Ashes and butts everywhere
Cost $$$
Degrading health
Degrading breathing
Yellow teeth

They aren't pros, if you need to relax take cbd oil.

Pretty dumb, because CBD oil feels completely different. Makes you sleepy actually.

Ciggs are used socially as well.

Pros:
Self destructive gay men will find you more attractive.

Cons:
Everything else.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Cost
Cancer
Emphesema
COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - 99% of cases caused by smoking)
Chronic Bronchitis
As you get older being forced to live on oxygen for the rest of your life.
Not being able to breathe
Not being able to eat normally

My father smoked for 40 years and has COPD, Emphasema and chronic bronchitis. He is on oxygen 24x7 now and can barely leave the house. Its hard for him to walk and has interfered with him eating. They say he is in end stage, but who knows.

I would not wish this on anyone.

From my experience OP, from smoking Marlboro. I love the smell, and some women also love the smell even if they aren't smokers.

Pros:
Smells good
Tastes good
Strong flavor
Wakes you up
Can smoke multiple times a day.
Is relaxing
Breath in deep and exhale


Cons:
Fuks your lungs
Fuks your teeth
Fuks your throat
Could make you lose you voice permanently, and you will need an artificial voice box to sound like a robot.
Phlegm
Burning sensation on your throat.
Smell on your fingers
Stinks up clothing if you don't have a fan running
Cancer
Waste of money (too expensive)

Cigars are a bigger waste of money that cigarettes. You can't even breathe in the smoke. You basically just burn them to hold them in your mouth.

Looks cool? Nothing looks cool about delicately holding any sized cylindrical object to your mouth, sucking in your cheeks and then pouting to puff out nasty @ss chemicals. All smoking looks literally g@y af.

Girls who do it look slooty and all guys who do it look queer.
