The Nicotine thread

How do you get yours?

I've usually just smoked cigs, on and off. Not heavily, I've never been a pack a day smoker. Recently my thing is Camel Turkish Gold. I usually get Nat Sherman's and American Spirits though. I took up vaping not long ago, mostly because I don't like smelling like a casino.

Cigs, I'm smoking right now. I smoke maybe about a pack a week.

I never understood this. I always liked the residual smell of cigarettes. Sometimes I randomly get the compulsion to smell my fingers just to get a whiff.

How does it feel to be objectively wrong?

Human, all too human.

Wow a pack a weak. I wish I could do that! I smoke a pack a day. Other day went to the mountain 2000 meters high with a friend and I had serious trouble going back to the top (it was some forest path to walk and stuff but it was going downhill)
Damn I need to stop smoking.

I haven't since March and I'm not planning on picking it back up again.
Don't like vaping, those things burn your throat every other time, and make you look stupid. And most of the flavors just make me nauseous.
I liked cigarettes. Hated Newports. Marlboro blend 27s were nice, and Winstons were my favorite.

I'd love getting a chicken lo mien from town at lunch, walking down to the back steps of the church and smoking a cigarette. In the winter, bundled up with my jacket and scarf and hat. Snow on the field in front of me. Mm such a nice experience. I recommend the combo of Chinese food, cigarettes, and snow.

I quit cause it made my booze taste funny and haven't picked one up since

I'm a worthless quitter.

But when I did smoke, I didnt mess around. I smoked between 20-40 cigarettes per day (Champion Ruby RYO / Port Royal RYO / Drum RYO / Marlboro Red or Gold / Winfield Blue). I also smoked Cubans to celebrate every time I finished a project. I also owned and smoked a pipe, but pipe tobacco was about $60 per pouch here so I didn't do it often.

I was fucking dragon 40 cigarettes every day. I quit five years ago and didnt smoke even once. My faves were flavored cigs djarum black and cherry. Sometimes I liked menthols. In high school I smoked very cheep and very strong shit named "classics" from Ukraine or made custom cigs with friends. That was probably second the most stupid habit I had in my life. Now all I have is junk food.

I've smoked cigarettes in periods on and off for a few months at a time. I find I get enjoyment out of smoking if it's occasional at a party or similar. But if I do it regularly I find any enjoyment or relaxation I get from it is increasingly numbed and replaced by an insatiable need for more. Addiction to the offering of some tobacco company feels degrading and doesn't seem especially cool to me.

My body is sensitive to smoking for some reason - I'd get sore throats a lot, and it provoked acid reflux in combination with other bad health habits within a short span of time. I've been cleaning up a lot recently and don't intend to pick it up again as it doesn't seem worth it to me.

 

[Reluctantly]

I inhaled a cigarette once, coughed for about two minutes and couldn't get the awful taste out of my mouth. The cool kids can enjoy nasty in their mouth and cancer. Have fun kids.

i smoked a couple of years. age 17 to 25 or something like that. 25 a day. was terribly hard to go through withdrawals. did it with patches first. but relapsed and then i rolled my own, super thin, or used one shot pipes. many time delayed temporary relapses, like whenever i socialized for a small period of time i could not say no. took years of abstinence until i was completely safe from relapsing. but my brain is reset now, it perceives it as toxic again and as unappealing. i get sick from having someone smoke in a small room or next to me on a park bench. the sinus cavities constrict, i get a headache and tense muscles in my back, as far as i remember. am not often among people, less often among smokers.
