What is the leftypol consensus on smoking? (Specifically tobacco)
Is it cool or nah?
What does it feel like? Does it actually calm you down?
How many of you guys smoke?
Are there any situations in which smoking may actually be GOOD for you?
Does it make you better looking?
>>766647smoke one and find out for yourself
>>766648Ok, answer some of the abstract questions then: is it cool? If not then why?
It's gross and nobody should do it.
>>766647>Is it cool or nah? Depends if youre a teenager or not.
>What does it feel like? No feeling. Maybe mild relaxation. Tastes good after youre done it for couple of years.
>Does it actually calm you down?Does heroin addict calm down when he gets his fix?
>How many of you guys smoke?Used to smoke 12-20 a day. Now I only smoke in social settings and use nicotine pouches when at home.
>Are there any situations in which smoking may actually be GOOD for you?When you need an excuse to go outside to get some fresh air.
>Does it make you better looking?Kinda
I smoke so i don't constantly jack my meat off to hentai
>>766647Nicotine pouches are the best way to go. Smoking ruins your lungs, gives you shortness of breath and potentially (likely) a plethora of diseases.
>>766647>What does it feel like? Does it actually calm you down?Nicotine in general keeps you calm and focused / energized at the same time, helps with staying awake and alert.
>Are there any situations in which smoking may actually be GOOD for you?When you've made the decision to use and become dependent on nicotine and don't have any other means available.
>Does it make you better looking?No you will get yellow teeth.
>>766653No its pretty retarded.
Sometimes people get into it just to be more sociable and hang out with smoker friends, but that's just a pack of retards who don't know that the best way to take nicotine is through nicotine pouches, so they're slowly killing themselves.
Then again there are stimulants better than nicotine, but its more of a matter of logistics and availability.
>>766696/thread
this is how retarded smoking is.
A guy wants to kill his libido by doing tar cancer sticks. WTF?
Take some nic pouches if you have them uygha. If not theres way better ways to stop your sex drive. Consume soy lmao.
>>766647Big tobacco is a scam
It's cool but I usually distrust most smokers
Its useful for not being stressed
The bushido of smoking is to advice you to not smoke
Stress, but there're better ways to destress, and also as a social activity
Kinda until your teeth go get weird
>>766710>>766839Can you avoid yellow teeth by brushing well? Or limiting consumption (say one a day, like kim kitsuragi)?
>>766647No one thinks being an addict is cool. Drugs
are only considered cool if you don't get addicted.
But that is playing with fire. So it's better not to do drugs in the beginning.
>>766647I smoked two times. The first time it was a white filter cigarette, absolute garbage, it was like I was just breathing normally, didnt feel nothing at all. The second time I bought a red filter, it wasn't that good, but definetely better than the first time. It is like putting your mouth next to a car exaust, it was calming but I dont get it how you can get addicted to it. You have to pull the smoke, let it cool down in your mouth, "swallow" it into your lungs and exhale.
Smoking is cool because self destruction is cool. I don't make the decisions on what's cool or not, that's just how it is. Me, I try to be a warm fella.
>>766852You will never be Kim Kitsuragi.
I’m only curious about smoking because i’m wondering if it will make me look more rugged/mature - i’m almost in my mid twenties and look like a teenager
>>766923Become a flakka zombie then
I love China because I can buy two or three random cigarette packs every day for 50RMB in total, I try to be respectful and smoke outside but some uncs do it while taking a shit in public toilets, barely anyone cares. Redditors can't survive this kind of grindset.
>In the 1980s, the pro-union Economic Policy Institute think tank took money from the Tobacco Institute, a now-defunct tobacco industry trade group, to oppose excise taxes on the tobacco industry's behalf. The Tobacco Institute worked with groups like EPI "to support the release of studies, editorials, press briefings, and testimony against regressive excise taxes" that would negatively impact the tobacco industry's bottom line if passed.>According to EPI, about 29% of its funding between 2005 and 2009 was supplied by labor unions and about 53% came from foundation grantsUnion Women, the Tobacco Industry, and Excise Taxes A Lesson in Unintended Consequences

>>766957There’s no specific physiognomy for teens and twenties.
Also, smoking to look more mature is shallow
its not cool but gives you a addiction to stress about rather than anything really stressfull. thats why im smoking but its hella expensive these days.
My mom has been on nicorette for 40 years. I think you're only supposed to need it for like 9 months, but she doesn't want to go back to candy. Without the gum, she is addicted to red and pink starbursts. I'm glad she doesn't smoke, but it is "cooler" than loudly chewing gum.
Tobacco makes me ill. It's for that reason I cannot smoke spliffs.
