are cigarettes the key to living

[miserywonderland]

just had two and the nicotine high came quickly (ive only had one before, months ago so i have a low tolerance)

i feel so pleasant its absurd. my suicidal thoughts GONE!!??????
im scared of the low i'll feel once it goes away because i know they'll come back 10x stronger

but for now i feel great , grand even. everything feels so pleasant and happy

i dont want to get addicted though

the nicotine 'high' won't last long as you develop tolerance, you will get addicted also.
just the unfortunate facts.

It honestly is a good way to help me snap out of things but it's only a temporary fix

I've smoked cigarettes for over 25 years. I don't remember what the first high felt like as it's been so long. What I can tell you that it's easily addicting and a bitch to quit. I've been trying for so long and the most I've gone without was three years. All it takes is one to go back to it after you quit. I've read that quitting cigarettes is the same if not harder to quit than heroin but I've never done that. I'm hoping that I've given myself cancer although that is a horrible way to go. But it would be an out at least. Good luck and be careful.

I've been vaping nicotine for a couple of years. I've only reached the point of physical addiction once and the withdrawals sucked real hard for a few days.

What I do is only vape once or twice a week, max. I can go all-out on those days, though, and I get that amazing nicotine high. A $15 disposable vape lasts me months. Sometimes I go a few weeks without vaping at all, meh.

That's why tobacco is the true devils weed. Gives you a buzz to start off with, next thing you know your paying 15 bucks a pack just to wake up in the morning.

So in English. Smoking I'd a habit you don't want. Not with the government taxing the hell out of it anyways.

Be very careful, smoking addiction is probably the hardest to break out of, and also the most costing. Even if you tell yourself "I have a strong will, I won't get addicted" that might make the risk worse, because you blind yourself to your own confidence.

If I were you, I'd find an alternative, because the risk is not worth it in my opinion. Vaping might produce similar effects with nicotine, and with less risk, but it has its own drawbacks.

My mother smoked from her teens til her death at 85. And not from lung cancer. I could never stand cigarette smoke, starting in childhood and was never slightly temped to try it.

I've watched one of my closest friends fall into nicotine addiction and it's very saddening to see, he keeps saying things like he can stop whenever he wants but he clearly can't and can't leave the house without his vape, me and a couple other friends have tried encouraging him to stop but it seems like a very easy thing to get hooked on and never come back from.

Not worth the potential for addiction, monetary cost and health risks that linger long after tolerance has made your first buzz a thing of the past.
