Asking as someone who has never smoked anything. Makes no sense to pay money to kill yourself slowly.

Is it just pure addiction/habit or is it some crazy form of stress relief?

I did it for 20 years and my only reasoning is that I started when I was 14 to be cool and fit in with the cool kids and it became as addicting as eating food eventually.

But I agree TC, of all my addictions throughout my life, it was the dumbest.

it's only "stress relief" because it gives you a break from whatever you were doing. if you stopped and practiced meditation for five minutes instead, you'd feel better, have more money and not pay for cancer. using tobacco is fucking stupid and i seriously question the mental capacity of anyone who uses tobacco past the age of 30.

During my 20s, I picked up smoking when I worked some heavy physical jobs, like warehouse or stage work, but I didn't smoke very often. I hit the point of addiction during college where I was failing Linear algebra and couldn't focus on the material, and out of desperation I tried having a cigarette before class and it helped substantially. I managed to quit about 5 years ago, but it was really really bad for a long time.

Because I enjoy it, it is good to relieve stress and I find they make a good appetite suppressant.

Also I think you need something "bad" in your life. I do not do drink or drugs so why not enjoy some ciggies.

Can't you just meditate instead of smoking weed to feel better?

I've mediated and it's never given me a nicotine buzz.
My point is weed isn't special, it's just a drug. There are more beneficial ways to relieve sstress. I say that as a weed smoker.

meditation isn't a substitute for nicotine. i never said it was. i said it was a replacement for a 5-minute stress break.

i'm not sure why you brought up weed. but i don't smoke weed to relieve stress. i smoke weed because i like being high

I went to rehab last year for alcohol and literally the only thing to do beyond watching TV / reading was chill outside with other people smoking cigarettes.

I never smoked before that and smoked a pack a day for like 3 weeks, somehow the addiction didnt take though

Then why say people that use nicotine are stupid? Would someone be wrong to say " using cannabis is fucking stupid and i seriously question the mental capacity of anyone who uses cannabis past the age of 30"?

I was honestly lucky that my dad didn't smoke, or else I might've picked up on it. The rest of my cousins do smoke, however, because all my other Uncle's from my dad side of the family do. In Vietnam, even though most of us knows it's bad for you, there's no real social stigma to smoke. In fact, my dad even said he got made fun of because he refused to smoke at the age of 16 by being called a "wimp" and not a "real man". Most of my cousins now transitioned to vape/e-cigs or managed to kick out of the habit (one of them even went full on cold turkey).

I wish weed still gave me the giggles. Maybe I just need to get to a better place in life to get them back. Now I just get anxiety and panic attacks from smoking too much

i said using tobacco is stupid, because it is. i get being careless or shortsighted on long term affects of things when you're a kid, that's part of what being a kid is all about. but being a full grown adult and still making the choice to consume tobacco given the consequences it carries is just plain ignorant or careless. i feel the same way about adults who don't wear their seatbelts. yeah, they have the right to make that choice, but it's a fucking stupid one.

No idea why I started, but when I quit nicotine altogether (I had long since switched to vaping at the time) over the next couple of years I noticed my mood slowly becoming less stable. It's gotten a lot better since I picked up a vape again.

I suspect it's some underlying thing that the nicotine helps manage, don't really know for sure, can't even conclusively rule out placebo, but one way or another it is making a huge difference. Plus the vape tastes good.

Switched to vaping a few years ago when menthol cigarettes were banned in Canada.

I mainly do it when Im driving because I get antsy really easily. Cigarettes were an easy quit, especially after I quit doing yachts, but I dont think Ill ever quit vaping unless they outlaw flavours.

Like I always say, its never too early to hit the chuff. Unless of course its the green bean chuff.

Nicotine use is sometimes associated with undiagnosed ADHD or depression.
