Why I love cigarettes

Bananatropics26

I am an avid user of tobacco cigarettes. I tried my first cig at 14 and it got me very buzzing and laughing. I still smoke to this day. Vapes are good but I find cigarettes to be much more potent. I am aware that cigarettes do increase dopamine substantially more than the strongest of vapes do. I made the choice at 14 to start smoking. I saw a movie with a cool guy smoking at 14 and it inspired me to try it because I was 14 and wanted to be cool. It does make me feel quite stimulated and relaxed at the same time. I do believe I may have ADHD also. That might explain something about why the taste of cigarettes is so powerful to me. I don't smoke around people though out of respects.

  • Nicotine is a potent poison. There is a relatively small amount in tobacco w/w. Nicotine can also penetrate skin. The lethal human dose is 50 to 60 mg of pure nicotine, a single lentil weighs around 250mg, so not much is needed.

    That is ignoring all the tars and other noxious chemicals also found in tobacco.

    Smoking tobacco essentially creates the craving that it satisfies, a vicious circle.

    At the age when some of my schoolfriends were taking up smoking cigarettes, I just thought that this is a fundamentally stupid thing to do - suck smoke from burning leaves into my lungs? Nah! I never tried even one. Now I have asthma and my lungs are screwed, I look at people with healthy lungs who smoke and think, "Moron". It is like playing Russian roulette with a double-barrelled gun, approximately half the people who smoke regularly over a long period will die from causes that are directly linked to smoking tobacco.
