Tobacco am I missing Something?

Tried smoking for the first time a few months ago after about 5 beers. Just didn't do anything for me so I figured I must not have inhaled long enough. Well the other night pretty much the exact same situation. I was kind of buzzed and figured I'm already hurting my health enough tonight might as well go a little further so bummed a cig off a friend smoking. Also took a drag or two off another friends cigars. Didn't feel any different really and for the last day or two my breath has stunk and my throat has been sore. What exactly is so special about tobacco that entices so many people?

its once your addicted to the nicotine the pleasure kicks in. Once your hooked, everytime you smoke feels fantastic, because your body gets its fix and starts functioning properly again. Your first few smokes feel horrible because your basically poisoning your body with chemicals that it has to get used to,
Cigars are usually combined with a night of drinking scotch, whiskey ect. and is for flavor. the smoke mixes with the hard booze and tastes good. Smoking cigs is a terrible, horrible habit that is in reality a pipe dream. Its only by feeling like shit all the time that a smoke makes you feel good for a lil bit. Try hookah instead. |

It's mind-blowing that people are still smoking in this day and age.

@mrspicytacoman you can't enjoy it without being addicted? then how do people even make it to the point of being addicted? if they were miserable at first they wouldn't continue pursuing it right? think i'm completely done after this experience though.

Well, keep in mind that there are several "social smokers" out there. In college I tried it just to say I did, didn't do anything for me at first, but throw in a few drinks and the right crowd and it was "cool" to smoke. Unfortunately, I fooled myself into thinking it was a great stress reliever. During finals, my gf at the time was one of those needy types that always wanted me to be on the phone with her when I wasn't with her...this was during finals...so in my mind smoking was a stress reliever...thankfully I quit before I got addicted.

It sounds gay, but mostly peer pressure. Most people start smoking because of someone else, and when that person insists it gets better, you keep smoking or you don't.
Also intoxication and drugs. Smoking cigs is alot better when high, tripping, ect. But no one ever lit up their first ciggie and said wow this is great lol. Its disgusting the first few times for everybody. |

There is nothing good about tobacco, it's a drug and it's an addiction. That is why people smoke. Nothing "good".

take really quick consecutive puffs on a cig and you will get a nic buzz (OD).
Your body (lung) also will be trained to welcome the tiny particles hitting your lung, its like you can't take a full breath because all you get is empty air... a nice inhale cig drag hitting your lung is very fulfilling. Once you are addicted, a cig before/during/after whatever is just as satisfying as a cold bear during whatever. It takes the edge off. |

@el swordo - They don't stop because no one likes a quitter and they all still like to hang with their friends. Beer tastes horrible and most liquor tastes horrible but people drink that non stop. It is all to be accepted by your peers. I say efff that and blaze up... what you never smelled no chronic befo?

As an ex-smoker, all I can say is: Just Don't Do It! It's stupid.

But smoking costs precious money that could be spent on video games deals!
Seriously though, I've never seen the appeal. Smoking is just another destructive addictive behavior that costs money and will ruin your health given enough time. It's much healthier to unwind at the end of a day by blowing the heads off some zombies or maybe some Tetris whatever a person likes. Also Cigars smell so horrible or at least the one my friend decided to smoke one in my house without asking did. Yeah he got an earfull from me. |

It's a waste of time and money. All it does it poison your body and empty your wallet. I smoked for about 2 years in high school and one of the best things I ever did was quit.
The fact that you still have a sore throat and what not should be enough of an indication that you are causing yourself harm. Seriously, just don't do it. Take the money you would be wasting and buy yourself something useful. (a game, a nice dinner, anything at all) |
