>>13509236
Kek.

One of my favourite things in life is to simply ask a smoker why they smoke.
The smoker is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, polluter, rat, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But point out that his only motive is fashion and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

This is how coffee should be, a quick shot of espresso you just get on the go, cheap, and good quality, no milk no sugar, no bullshit, just the pure essence of taste and energy.

>>13509272
I smoke for company

>>13509272
I smoke because I'm addicted. I justify by listing off the social benefits I've experienced from it.

>>13509333
Meh, espresso is fine, but I much prefer a cup or regular ole' coffee. Cold brewed is nice too.

Your death is going to be shitty though. You will be bedridden for months with chemo and surgery pain or you could get oral cancer and survive with a badly deformed face. There are far better and exciting ways to hasten your death. Go do some daredevil shit. It might even liven you up a bit you depressing fuck.

the trick is to commit suicide when the cancer begins to spread, you know you're already done so you have no reason to wait for a painful end

I wish I'd never picked up smoking. I'll quit cold turkey and be fine for about six months until my anxiety starts acting up about something then all I want in the world is a fucking cigarette. I'll buy a pack of Turkish royals at some seedy gas station and inhale the sweetest relief baptising my lungs with fresh tar. Until I get disgusted with myself halfway through the pack and throw the rest in the trash or give it to a homeless person. Just quit again yesterday. I hope it sticks this time.

But despite all the self hatred, I have never felt more at peace than the morning coffee and smoke. Waking up after a drunken night of sloppy enthusiastic sex with someone I can't tell if I care about and sitting half naked on the porch ruining the fresh morning air with nicotine.

>>13510003
You can tell this post was made by someone who smokes for fashion

>>13510075
That's how it is for everyone anon. First you smoke to be cool and social then you smoke because it's a good pick me up then you smoke because it's hard to go a day without it.

Starts as fashion ends with a habit.

Nobody ever died of coffee induced cancer

Nah man they just have coffee, that I'll admit. For the rest, France does it better

I used to love coffee and black tea, but since a few months ago I can’t drink anything with caffeine without getting terrible anxiety, why the fuck is this happening
I already quit smoking and drinking alcohol and now I’ve lost coffee too

>>13509994
>having principles in 2019

>>13509365
And honestly, if it was just the bad breath, wasted time, smelly clothes, and yellow fingers I'd probably even say it was worth it. It's only when I feel the soreness in my throat after a heavy day, or a cough is a little more persistent than it should be that I'm really forced to face what this addiction means and how awful of a deal it's been.

if you smoke and youre not working class you just look like a tryhard

I've thought about picking up cigs for the social aspect, like you say, but then I realized that it would only lead me to hooking up with women who also happened to be smoking.

Women who still smoke in 2019 are pure trash, and who the fuck wants to kiss an ashtray?

>>13511123
Did you quit smoking around the same time? Nicotine skyrockets your caffeine tolerance.

>>13509680
This nigga knows what's up. Best part is, nobody will blame a man with cancer for killing himself.

At least until those assholes come up with a cure for cancer.

Even the working class has given it up.

>>13511803
the habits of the working class are downstream of their superiors. if anything the working class are tryhards, trying to signal financial liquidity by wasting money on a luxury commodity instead of investing in higher quality foods for themselves and families

I haven't slept decently since the start of the year. I'm so tired that I literally fell asleep about 30 minutes ago and awoke felling like I got run over by a fucking train. I also realize I'm addicted to sugar and chocolate from abstaining all day. What do?

>>13512027
Wean off it

>>13511928
I've never in my life heard anyone call a napkin a serviette. Why would you purposely use a word 99% of people never use? Fuck coffee shops, exclusively populated by smug pseuds.

>>13512027

I only drink coffee during exams

I am an avid smoker, though

>>13512043
Jesus, you really are a chickenhead fuck. A lot of restaurants and cafes call it a serviette. It's just a paper napkin, it's not uncommon. Are from outside the UK or something or just so retarded words just escape your feeble brain?

>>13512080

What is the point in using an uncommon word when a common one works fine?

Serviette is used exclusively by poser faggots who want to look posh.

>>13512181
>uncommon word
it's not uncommon you fucking idiot. Supermarkets label paper napkins as serviettes a lot of the time and a lot of regular cafes and restaurants will refer to them as serviettes. You're actually a smooth brain, holy shit

>>13512193
>it's not uncommon you fucking idiot.
It is uncommon. Napkin is more popular, so use napkin. Say serviette to my face and I'll choke you with a bundle of napkins you limp wristed faggot.

>>13512214
Not the guy you're replying to but serviette is used pretty commonly in Canada.

>>13512214
You fucking what mate? Pussy is more popular by I'll definitely call you a cunt retard as then situation arises. I'll cum on your mum and wipe it off with a tissue and call it a serviette to your faggot face. Youwhat. I'll fucking smash your head in, but I doubt you could get any dumber. When I do i'll take shit down your throat and wipe my ass with a piece of cloth and call that a napkin. Try me cunt you won't

There's nothing cool or provocative about smoking. I've gone off and on with it over the years, usually picking it up during a time of punctuated stress. I do it because I enjoy it. It gives you an excuse to step away from your affairs for five minutes, and provides a kind of "locus" around which to concentrate. The bio -rhythmic sensation of inhaling and exhaling the smoke is soothing. What's more it keeps me from stuffing my face with food every 30 minutes.

You are both right, and this is how much I agree with you.

counterpoint: having a good physique but with smoking cigarettes and not being a peasant

>>13509224
there is literally nothing wrong with being a nicotine addict. If you use patches or other NRT you don't even get cancer.
It sucks to introduce another dependency, but if you keep yourself well fed your life is better in every way than if you were a non-smoker

In South Africa they call them exclusively serviettes. once I was at a pharmacy and needed a napkin, and I asked the lady at a counter for a napkin and she was confused because she thought I was saying nappies, which is diapers.

"I'm addicted and it feels good" this was my awsner when I used to smoke. I quit a year ago, nowadays it just feels discusting, except for when I'm drinking and near a smoker, then yep, I will be asking for a cig or two, and I will smoke with pleasure heh.

I wish I could man up and face the monotony and depression of substance-free living. Cut back on my kratom usage this month and it really opened my eyes to how numbing the shit is. Ive been able to control my adderall use most days, but I still go on binges too frequently. Books for overcoming a non-serious but philosophically unsound reliance on substances?
