Is smoking casually just as bad as chain smoking...

Is smoking casually just as bad as chain smoking? As a teenager i'd smoke only when i hung out with my friends and we got drunk on cheap wine/beer. It was pretty good, desu. Never would go above 10 cigs in a night generally, after that it was about 1 week without smoking.

I'm not even asking because i want to smoke again, i'm trying to be a health nut now - going to the gym, watching what i eat etc -, but why do people act like smoking one cig a month is enough for you to get emphysema, lung cancer and have a heart attack? Specially now with weed legal in most countries, some people smoke that shit like old timers smoked cigarettes.

why not vape instead?

Nicotine is highly addictive , you'll start with one month you'll end up with a pack and half a day in few years

it's not that bad, I reckon tobacco that is fresh and not the shitty chemical laden rubbish that has 1000% tax added on top is even better. the issue is society, it's been banned from pubs and everyone constantly asks if you smoke and then if you do smoke you're told to quit immediately.
It's worse than being banned, at least if it was banned the tax money wouldn't fund the government, instead you pay twice, you pay the government a nice BIG JUICY cut for your addiction and then you get to pay again when you get older and have health issues from smoking.

Probably not, im on around 40-50 a day and i feel great

it is hash time

Vape is ok, i had a small vape and i liked it a lot, but it's not like a ciggie. Sometimes it's rainning and it's kinda chilly, you're drinking some cheap warm wine and smoking a cig? Oh my god, this is fantastic.

I was becoming addicted to cigarettes when i was 17 ~ 18, but i stopped when i started waking up in the middle of the night craving a smoke. The idea that you can't even get 8 hours sleep because you'll wake up wanting a puff is insane - but the first smoke of the day is also FANTASTIC, specially with some coffee.

You guys in the UK and americans pay A LOT for cigs, oh my god. If you convert the price here to dollars the a pack of Marlboro Reds is like 2 or 3 dollars. The only problem is that most people's income isn't in dollars, so it evens out.

I notice when I smoke casually I will have a niccotine "hangover" for a while headaches, fatigued, anxiety. But it goes away after a few days. Only people with real willpower can stop and start things like alcohol and Tabaco without needing it daily.

I started smoking less, although I never had any intention of quitting. Before it was a pack a day, now 2 cigarettes a day is enough

i've smoked everyday from my 17 to my 21. then I quit and smoked 3 months everyday 4 months clean until about 25. it progressed and now I sometimes smoke a few joints in summer and that's it. a few times per year i smoke some weed. I never think about wanting it those times have passed. it's strange how I used to be so addicted and had to smoke everyday but now I don't even think about it.

i want to continue my life as it is and sometimes in summer smoke a few joints. it's the best of both worlds. being high everyday is depressing and makes me feel bad. but sommetimes it's great

Yes. Tobacco smoking is all around terrible. Even worse than most sources claim. It causes low energy, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, low fertility from low testosterone, fucks with your digestion and endocrine system etc., it weakens your immune system and causes permanent changes in your brain making you dumber. And no, this is all true to vaping and weed and other shit too. Its an all around poison that makes EVERYTHING your body does worse.

I thought the only positive effect of cigarettes were that they made you a bit more perceptive since nicotine has cognitive-enhancing effects (not enough to justify smoking, but it has that effect on the brain)

You'd literally get the same effect from a coffee. It is statistically insignificant

it works great ifyou are not a daily user.

Eh, if you truly smoke less than half a pack every week then it's probably no worse for you than living near a busy road. But I started like that as well and somewhere along the line it turned into a pack a day. Quit 5 years ago, not even because of my health but because they were getting crazy expensive here and finding some polak to get me cigs from eastern europe was too much of a hassle.

natural leaf smoked for thousand of years

vial of chinese chems

I know which one I'd do if I smoked casually

Maybe just don't smoke at all.

No. Cigarettes just make you smell like cigarettes. It's not about life extension. Either don't smoke the chemicals and smoke tobacco or weed, or have a chance at breathing issues if you live to 75yro. Why the fuck you wanna live to 2100?

is doing a little bit of unhealthy thing just as bad as doing a lot of it?

Idk, man. Compare a guy who eats at McDonald's once a month to someone who eats there 3 times a day.

Yes

Shieeeet, you got a point. I'm tobaccopilled now.

The truth about cigarettes, and if you take your doctor for a few drinks he might even tell you this, you could 1 or 2 cigarettes a day and be fine. Unfortunately most people can't do this, I certainly can't do this, so I don't smoke.

Only weak willed faggots smoke. Don't get me wrong. I don't care if you do as I couldn't care less about your health, but just know that you're subhuman if you do it. That is all.

Bullshit, I am only getting smarter. Only worry I would have is sperm quality. Ah well, guess it is time to dust off my microscope ...

What's with the sudden uptick in pro-smoking threads on every single board
What's their plan and purpose

The same as usual, get the goyim into one of the self-destructive habits, maybe get them to smoke out of pure contrarianism.

A lot of people smoke because they like it. If you're addicted you're a subhuman. I smoke when I feel like it, ranging from 0 cigarettes a week to a pack in one night out with drinks and cocaine. I'm actually better than you because I just use it as the tool it is without being addicted like a fag. You're in the same group as the hopeless addicts because you're afraid to get addicted. Pussy fag

I only smoked when i was hanging out with friends, i think you can do this shit casually. The only time you can get addicted to anything is if you bring it into your home. If you only drink when you're outside with your friends, it's fine, if you drink alone in your room then it's problem, same for ciggies.

This will be me in a couple months when my favourite brand goes bust

No one ever died from smoking 10 cigs a day, if they did, it was in conjunction with other shit.
"There are no safe levels of consumption of this product" yeah, but there is a lot of worse shit you can do.

The worst i got is 2 packs a week and even though I thought that was too much. Now I tell my self I can only have one vice at at a time so I haven't smoked in 2 months

Look at Western zoomers they stopped to drink and smoke and now they are anti racist globohomo faggots.
So yeah enjoy life Brazil anon.

The same as usual, get the goyim into one of the self-destructive habits, maybe get them to smoke out of pure contrarianism.

Lmao, I called out this memeflag kike in advance.

Can't be more destructive than becoming a tranny

Smoking isn't as bad as they want you to believe.

Nicotine is highly addictive

No it isn't. And I genuinely consider people who get addicted to nicotine of all drugs to be subhumans.
I've smoked 1000+ cigarettes easily to get extra breaks at work and never felt any urge to smoke further.

It is. As a casual 1-2 pack a day smoker any time I tried high intensity cardio it was harder than when I stopped

It's literally not as addictive as they say, in fact it causes 0 addiction, but then again so does alcohol and I've drank a lil too much in my life.
I'm either ubermensch (which I doubt) or there are a lot of subhumans in this world who get addicted to anything.

Take Quercetin, I'm a pack a day and it basically let's you breathe like a non smoker again. Schizos got me taking it for muh covid but it turns out it's crazy good for the lungs

It is. It was the number one killer before we reduced the amount of smokers. Now it's lower in the list and heart disease is number 1.

It's widely recognized as highly addictive because most people are subhuman with zero sense of self-discipline
They will consider a 3 days withdrawal with some mild anxiety and sleeplessness like a life battle lmao

It is the poisoned chemical "paper" and plastic "filter" that is actually bad for you. Go pipe with proper tobacco and is it pretty good for you

They should study my genes to help all of you poor nicotine addict junkies.
I feel bad for you or maybe I had bad luck cause Nicotine does nothing for me, does complete fuck all.

Smoked 3-4 cigarettes per day at work for years, had no urge to smoke at home when I quit my job gave my pack to a colleague and that was it.

I called out this memeflag kike in advance.

It is absolutely terrible for you. Bad attempt, kike.

What baffles me is how you get addicted to them in the first place considering how many I smoked just to hang out with the cool guys who get extra breaks from work.

Addiction is weird because it hits everyone differently. I was able to put down cigs without flinching, but getting off the lyrica I was taking for a back injury was one of the most facemelting experiences of my life. I'll never forget that week which was pure hell on earth. Zero sleep, permanent anxiety and depression which nothing could make go away, and 24/7 cold sweats. Don't fuck with the GABA receptors boys

I have been smoking 14 years (Two packs a day at my worst, now I smoke 8-10 rollies per day) I had a chest X-ray recently and was told my lungs were 'perfect' - loterally not a blemish. it's as much about your own genetics as it is the brand, smoking method and frequency. Just chill out when you're going overboard (you'll know) avoid the majorly popular brands, and only smoke when you genuinely want to. That's it.

Smookers are fucking hilarious, yeah brah you're shaking need a smooooke break?
Sure thing, let me grab my pack really quick and the 5 min break turns into a 10 min break.
Repeat 4-5 times and you get almost an extra hour of break lmao while non-smookers can't do that without looking lazy.

And salbutamol (ventolin). It's like roids for cardio

40-50 a day

Shieeeeeeeeeeeeet Croatia moment.
That's bullshit but I believe it, maybe that's the secret of getting addicted to nicotine you need to smooooke more

There is nothing that is better in this life than coffee and a cigarette around a morning campfire.
Coomers will say pussy is better but they are wrong.

Nicotine is worse than Heroine. I did Cocaine , Amphetamine, Alcohol, weed, ketamine, tilidine, mdma and quit just fine.
Quitting Nicotine is the most difficult. Quitting weed is the second most difficult.

Smoking is degenerate and retarded

faggot jews ban smoking inside

cry that smoker chads go outside to smoke

It is a form of self-harm, best avoided.

I used to smoke 2 rollies a day (amber leaf) but am trying heated tobbaco now. It's ok but I prefer my ambers. Probably healthier tho.

More smoking is worse. My guess is it's linear, not exponential or logarithmic.
Logarithmic would be like you described - one cig a month already very bad, smoking every day only a little worse.

I FUCKING LOVE NICOTINE

It's logarithmic because your body rapidly adapts and counteracts smoke through increased mucus production (in lungs and throat) and cell wall solidification through cholesterol coating

It could be. I haven't researched it.

The shit is just as bad

cunny is over rated

Cold turkey is the way to quit. Stay away from smokers as much as possible for a few weeks. When you start to dream about smoking cigs in your sleep, you have broken your addiction and are free.
