Do you smoke?

[WatchMeRot]

If so, when did you start and why?

I started a few months ago because I found out it calms me down (nothing else works lol) :)

 

[edu0z]

A lot, I started a little over a year ago with a girl I met. Since then I have tried to quit but the more I try the comebacks are stronger. There are days when I smoke two boxes or more, on nights where I can't sleep I always have one lit on my lips.

 

[兎の耳]

Of course not. Those things will kill you. :P

In all seriousness I've considered it, but I am also currently unemployed so it would be an expense I couldn't afford right now.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Yes,
At first just because it was fun. My roommate in college smoked so I began to smoke. It was not until later I discovered how much it helped with my anxiety. During panic attacks it was able to calm me down in minutes, compared to most meds that took several minutes or longer to take any effect. I've used weed for many reasons. Some better reasons then others. I've smoked to appreciate music more, to forget a bad day, to enhance a given feeling. Iv also used it to maintain my weight when anxiety and depression left me with no appetite or desire to eat.

If you're smoking becomes regular, I highly recommend reading up on THC and just how it can effect you. For example most studies show that smoking weed three hours or less before bed can negatively impact the amount of REM sleep you get.

I've smoked for a while, am somewhat knowledgeable about the culture, ways to smoke, effects. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I started smoking both weed and nicotine 5 years ago when I was 17. I smoke both of them to calm myself down and the weed also be helping me go to sleep at night. I'm trying to quit nicotine right now though currently I'm 19 Days free :)

I would but not right now. Both my parents and my neighborhood is condemn smoking likes it's a mortal grave sin. But if I do smoke, I really want to smoke Marlboro cigarettes. Why? I just think they're iconic brand (from sponsoring F1 to giving curbs their white and red colors).

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I started smoking in school when I was 16. I smoked for 7-8 years then gradually reduced it. Non-Smoker now but I never say no if it's an occasion.

 

[GlutenFreeCat]

I started smoking at 15, I'm 27 now, and have been doing it off and on since. I thought it looked cool and absolutely loved the nic high. I was smoking close to 3 packs a day at 18 and that lasted close to 2 years. Switched to chewing tobacco and then eventually started vaping. Don't think I'll ever be able to give up nicotine lol

Marlboro Blend No. 27 were always my go to and still are if I ever find myself an excuse to buy a pack.

The first time I did it out of curiosity back when I was in junior high then for bonding with my peers. It eventually became a stress reliever for me, though I havent smoke a cigarette for a few months now cause I switched to vape but my juice ran out and so Ive been clean for a while now. I guess Im just an occasional smoker now...it also strain my budget so I have to.

 

[Abandoned Character]

5 or 10 mg edibles are my jam. Nice to chill out sometimes.

 

[TakesOneToKnowOne]

Cigarettes? Yes. Started around 13, because it was "cool" and rebellious. Did not smoke that much and regularly until 20, but after that regularly around a pack a day.

 

[Nyotei]

Daily.

I switched to vaping in 2020 and it was a lot more flavourful, but I never smoked for the flavour but the feeling and aesthetic. I switched back last year. Nothing beats a cigarette...

Part of me feels ashamed for it because my abuser was a heavy smoker, and it makes me feel like I became more like them, despite what I've done to be free of their influence.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

As a chimney. Started at13

[aGoodDayToDie]

I started when I was 19. A new uni friend handed me a cigarette. Then I started smoking weed with it and got hooked. Been smoking on and off since then 23 years. It doesn't do much. Gives my adhd brain something to do I guess. Wish I had weed that fucking did something.

 

[R_N]

Never liked it but tried a few times. It gave me nausea and it felt disgusting.

I did drink alcohol when I was more outgoing and smoked shisha tho.

 

[tunnelV]

I smoked for a while, then vaped..now I'm addicted to 2mg nicotine gum.

 

[lifteddream]

i smoke weed everyday, for 7 years now.
though the euphoria associated is a distant memory, its the only thing that can provide solace sometimes.
my clothes stink though since im a shut in and smoke in my room :((((

 

[Forever Sleep]

No. Was never with the 'cool' kids to get started and it's never massively appealed. Don't really drink much either. Although, I'm not tea total. I'm unhealthy in other ways though. My diet is awful.

 

[psp3000]

No but the aesthetics of smoking in various films did get to me a bit to the point where I am somewhat fascinated by prop cigarettes and cigarettes that contain stuff like lavender rather than tobacco (and I really think the old Joe Camel art work is cool along with other old adverts for cigarette brands like Newports)

and I thought about carrying around cigarettes for the event of someone asking if I have one and then starting a converstation with me or small talk but that is the reason why I carry around a lighter and would like to collect novelty lighters

I think I will just stick with Lucky Lights and other cigarettes of the sweet chalky variety though

 

[Lullaby]

I had an edible for the first time this summer and it was honestly the first time in forever that I felt so relaxed and good.

I think I laughed literally for 15 minutes straight trying to figure out if I was actually high or not.

 

[Rhizomorph1]

If so, when did you start and why?

I started a few months ago because I found out it calms me down (nothing else works lol) :)

I've been a chipper for a long time; I'd have a cigarette once or twice a year. I guess I have good self control(?)

Lately I've given myself permission to smoke a bit more regularly because I'm gonna die so fuck it.

I also did heroin for the first time the other day for similar reasons: fuck it I'm gonna die soon.

Just vape. I only need nicotine, I don't drink or smoke w33d anymore. All I need is nicotine and Pepsi Max and I'm good.

 

[brokenpromise]

I'm smoking right now doom scrolling SS

Been smoking the better part of 20 years started at a whiskey tasting when cigars where a nice pair then quickly found out I was too poor at the time for both good whiskey and good cigars lol

One thing led to the other and it's cheap smokes and okish whiskey

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

It's on and off with me.
I prefer heated tobacco nowadays

 

[trashhologram]

I smoke tobacco, weed fucks with my head too much since I experienced something very traumatic while I was high a long time ago. I started smoking daily almost 13 years ago. I was still a kid and started because all the cool kids smoked and I wanted to be cool too Now I smoke because I'm addicted to nicotine and it calms me down.
