>b-but smoking bad and reactionary!!!
Ok faggot

>>39687
Smoking is bad. But not reactionary. There is no contradiction.
>nihilist anarchist posting Kim Jong Un
Now I've seen everything.

>>39687
Smoking is bad because it makes you age like shit.

i only smoke opium. its the milk of heaven. a path to allah.

>>39687

>>39693
>>39695
Don't care. Aging is inevitable anyway.

>>39687
Why did you delete your post about North Korea?

I don't smoke any more, but I remember one brand I smoked in Cuba called poplar (or popular) which was fucking strong. One inhale made me wheeze as if I had asthma.

Someone bury that thread already…

Cause the music and art of the DPRK have nothing to do with the silly reaction image of KJU smoking.

I only smoke American Spirits roll your own. Bugler is trash, didn't care for the Amsterdam shag too much either. That's about all the brands you see here in America besides some small off brand shit.

>>39686
Also OP here
I remembered that I've also smoked lucky strike - I think it was blue and black resized. I remember getting them around the time menthol cigarettes got outlawed here and flavor / aroma beads were sold seperately (see pic). So I decided to make use of the holes in the filters of the luckies to try them out and was immediately offput by how shit they were. Its better to just chew mentos and then smoke.

>>39772
that shit belongs on the archive already
+ we don't need to lie to ourselves that its mostly just posters switching their ips with vpns to make their choice of cancer seem supreme

>>39686
Why don't you guys just vape? It's cheaper, doesn't smell like shit, isn't actively killing you, is less wasteful, literally no downsides

>>39777
I have tried vaping too and didin't like it much tbh
I liked some disposables because for some reason their taste was better (or somehow had a higher nicotine content) than the e-liquid sold seperately.
I had two vaping devices, both of which broke eventually. The one which lasted longest of the two was some gay ass tamagochi with a dog that requries you to get a lung disease so you can feed it (see pic again).

Another thing I should note is that vaping is getting outlawed in my country soon, because some bullshitters convinced everyone that its somehow worse than regular smoking.

>>39769
But it got me interested. ☹️
>>39778
The real question is what's healthier and/or cost-efficient: vape, cigars, chewing tobacco/nicotine or weed? I think all of them can give you lung cancer.

>>39686
Also, TWO THREADS ABOUT SMOKING!? SERIOUSLY!!? MOOOOOOODS!!

>>39778
>Another thing I should note is that vaping is getting outlawed in my country soon, because some bullshitters convinced everyone that its somehow worse than regular smoking.
Wouldn't want to hit tobacco industry profits. I checked and India, which has 100 millions smokers and 1 million dying of tobacco a year banned vaping, incidentally the state has huge stakes in the tobacco market. This is really backward.

>>39785
Vaping is more cost efficient and way, way healthier than smoking even in the third world where a pack is 1 to 2 dollars - if you buy a non disposable one and liquid in big containers or, even cheaper, if you mix it yourself. Weed is probably the safest if you vaporize it or eat it, if you smoke it you will still have the carcinogen combustion products sticking to your mouth throat and lungs.

The problem with vaping is that some companies shrewdly marketed products to non smoking teens as cool candies. And as far as I'm concerned the people who came up with this idea should get the firing squad treatment.

DIY vaping costs less than $50 a year for the equivalent of a pack a day which costs between $1500-5000 a year in my area depending on if you roll your own or go for marlboro. Making your own coils is about $5 for several years worth of wire and cotton nicotine costs about $15 every 6 months bulk flavors and extra batteries are couple bucks. Been using the same couple of mods for over 10 years that were $20 ea when I got them. Its also recognized by UK as a healthy alternative or cessation aid and these studies are starting to make their way to other countries. In the US the Heart/Lung associations are colluding with TRUTH(funded by Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement) to make vaping appear bad to preserve their tax fraud racket in california and new york(Billions of dollars). Tobacco companies pay healthcare providers a part of their profit to offset societies cost for lung cancer treatment and big Pharma is trying to preserve this relationship by banning vapes because preventing lung cancer hits their bottom line.

It's so gross how much fearmongering there is about vapes when there's literally no evidence of any health effects (besides nicotine addiction obviously which is relatively harmless on its own).

>>39796
Reminder that nicotine/niacin is literally a B vitamin.

>>39797
people are scared of any chemical they cant pronounce for some reason

>>39797
And drinking water can be toxic. What's your point?
>nicotine/niacin
You do realize those are not interchangeable, right? Nicotine is not a vitamin. Nicotinic acid is not nicotine, it was initially synthesized from nicotine. Almost like saying pepper spray is a vegetable.

>Almost like saying pepper spray is a vegetable.
And yet its still produced from peppers.
<The main component of pepper spray is an oil known as oleoresin capsicum. This oil comes from plants in the genus Capsicum, which includes chili peppers. The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, the same chemical that adds the characteristic heat to chili peppers.

>>40116
>And yet its still produced from peppers.
So what?

>>40118
So it isn't unnatural.

>>40125
nobody said it was

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Tobacco
<Results suggest that cigarettes in China increasingly resemble those sold in Western countries, but with tobacco containing higher levels of heavy metals. As CNTC looks to export its product around the world, independent surveillance of tobacco product characteristics, including tobacco blend characteristics, will become increasingly important.
2010 article, tobacco bros…its over
I like how OP listed a bunch of fascist corporate "blended tobacco products" LITERALLY DESIGNED to be addictive and cause cancer, and targeted at vulnerable communities like blacks or gays or whoever.
Compare this to the not fully commodified regular tobacco leaves people smoke in pipes, which are admittedly a toxic pesticide, but probably not as cancerous as the "blended additive product".

>there's literally no evidence of any health effects
Inhaling any particulate matter in your lungs is dubious, that's like saying "there's no evidence that cutting myself with a tiny knife everyday is unhealthy"

>>40153
Vapes don't have particulate matter in them though?
