What's the appeal of smoking?
| Not really sure I smoke tbh, I just started out of curiosity and liked it. I guess it really changes depending on the person, I like exhaling that smoke and the smell of tobacco. But yes, smoking just because it makes you look cool or something or just giving all your money to it makes little to no sense.
| nicotine hit + taste + habit
| Shouldn't it be near illegal to hook people into buying your product through well nicotine

> i dont know what prohibition was
different product, exactly the same problem. make it illegal and all you get is an unregulated market and victimised addicts.
| >>308962 I sure as hell wish it was Illegal, I fucking hate the smell of cigarettes and how these assholes keep exhaling that cancerous shit near me whenever I'm outside. If you want to fucking die that's your choice, lock yourself in a room and smoke to your heart's desire, but for fuck's sake get away from me.
| > Sorry, I don't smoke. Don't mind me though, smoke if you wanna.
| What's the appeal of alcohol? What's the appeal of drugs?
People just want to relieve their stress, their worries. Simple as that.
| >>309044 I mean this stuff gets you high enuf to forget about your worries. But smoking doesn't do that.
| Besides its loads more expensive than popping some cheap alcohol
| To die faster without actually committing suicide
| Smoking's cool

Once you're hooked on the stuff, smoking does nothing but take the edge off. Not much you can do to fight an addiction, why question and judge what other people do? I don't smoke, and I wish others didn't but some things are just out of their control.
| Makes you look like a fucking drago.
| There is no appeal. You start because you're stupid and want to impress your friends, and you don't quit because it's addictive.
| Calms you down and helps you focus. Like coffee or tea.
| >>309085 Some people don't want to get high, they just need to relieve stress. Cannabis helped with my depression, but if I really need to get my ass in gear that isn't going to help me.

You get sick of drinking the same thing all the time. Sometimes water can't cleanse a bitter taste, or it's bitter by itself, annoying how it builds up, or you only drink raw water and surprise dysentery makes you shit out your own intestines... first world problems!
| Nicotine. I smoke cigars every once in a while, and they feel wonderful. Anyone who says you can't get a high off of cigarettes or cigars doesn't know what he's talking about. And it's not just an addiction thing; I smoke less than one cigar a month and still get the good feelings.
| Just let them smoke, if they are still alive 20 years from now, they'll have a fucked up taste bud anyways.
| I mean if it's for the feels couldn't you just get marijuana
| It's less addictive and has less side affects
| I used to smoke, but I stopped because the weather got warmer. I miss smoking, saw it as a luxury so it was easy to quit.

Don't worry dood, I don't smoke around others. I try to be downwind whenever I did smoke.
| >>505d12 Cigars have a different (imo better) relaxing effect than weed. Plus, they're less expensive, taste way better, and are the same level of addictive as long as you smoke responsibly. And we only know of more health negatives from tobacco because it's much more widely consumed and heavily studied. Anyone who thinks weed is perfectly healthy is kidding himself, we just haven't studied it for long enough.
| >>310636 too bad that alot of smokers don't do the same. Thankfully the types that smoke in public places are mostly frail af so the threat of a fist up their ass tends to knock a cigarette right outta their mouths
| >>505d12 There's also probably a status component to it, though I don't like to admit it. People who smoke weed tend to be poor, and although that's not universally true, I definitely associate weed with that. Cigars are more upper-class, and I'd rather seem rich than poor.
