Do you smoke cigarettes?

[Kingz]

Used to

Quit a few years ago.

I miss it. I really do think it’s cool but it’s bad for you.

I smoke way too much, tbh. My overall health is pretty shit.

I tried once or twice but I didn't like it at all lol.

I honestly never understood it, and I'm sure there's more to it, but I always assumed that people smoke cigs to get a little "high" or buzz. So why not just smoke weed instead? Just one hit to relax and chill out. I know part of it is the act of smoking itself.

unfortunately, yes. I smoke almost a pack a day. If i somehow could reduce my smoking to maybe the 3 ciggarettes i actually enjoy threw the day (morning, after i eat, after weed) id have no qualms. the problem is like everyone else, its probably more of a mental habit than physical, and i find myself reaching for ciggarettes thew out the day i dont even want. its just by habit....one day i will quit. hopefully this year. I have stopped twice before for roughly a year each time...

Super glad I never liked it. It fuckin reeks and I hate how common it is in Europe.

It's more habit than anything. Not much of a buzz to be had off cigarettes. Certainly not comparable to actual mind altering drugs. Might calm some people's nerves, but that's about the extent of it. For some reason, they go extremely well with drinking though. A cigarette goes down so well when you've been drinking. Wouldn't be surprised if a decent portion of smokers got hooked when they started drinking.

I've tried it, but never found the appeal. I think my Dad put me off it when I was young, as his cigarette smoke would go up my blocked sinuses when I was in the car.

Also, working in customer service, some smokers were selfish to the point of outright rudeness in their desperation.

I quit over 15 years ago. My wife smokes. It doesn't bother me at all.

This may be weird but it's because of weed that I became more into smoking cigs. Started with mixing a bit of tobacco in my spliff to make the weed last longer, then I preferred to smoke a pure joint and then smoke a cig after. The nicotine rush added to the high. It's also nice to smoke if you get buzzed from alcohol. Now I'm in a place where weed is very difficult to access and I rarely drink, so I smoke cigs more out of habit than anything. I'd much rather smoke weed if given the choice.
I do get a rush from the nicotine but it is very short lasting. I also like it with coffee. Caffeine rush + nicotine to start the day.

But I don't like the way it smells after, the aftertaste it leaves in my mouth, the fact that it stains my teeth and nails, etc. There's so many reasons to quit lol
