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 powerful drug and is highly addictive. Stimulants can help, but if you really want it then vaping is safer, and patches or gum probably safer still.

    I used modest alcohol for my dopamine and GABA, but I keep under 14 units a week now.

    It's your choice as long as it's legal. I did also smoke when younger but stopped 25 years ago. It wasn't cool really.

    I thought I was indestructible or It didn't matter. That is normal youthfulness. But it makes your skin age, so you can look older and it hardens your arteries making circulation worse if you do it long term. And it costs a lot.

    Up to 2 out of every 3 long term smokers will die of a smoking related illness, so the odds are not in your favour. And it is not just lung cancer, it is throat and mouth and kidney, heart disease and stroke. I've known people who have had all of those. So it is not just warnings on a packet, it's real.
