Nicotine improves digit span and aids executive functioning . Imagine not smoking a cig, cigar, or from a pipe before you read.

>>14528093

Is nicotine and nofap the ultimate redpill? Did Kant have it all figured out all along?

what we smoking and reading lads? Reading bronze age mindset, trying to get this stupid thing to sync the corpus hermeticum. Highly rec spirit blues, nice and strong, but a bit too smooth on the inhale so i sometimes cut the filter for a more harsh feel.

you deserve better, honestly.
Smoking these with morning coffee and reading Ulysses backwards

>>14528506
Any recs on what to read before Ulysses?

A friend of mine that studies literature told me that you actually are never “ready” for Ulysses

>>14528506

Or you can not be a retard and just drink coffee for the same effect

>>14528566
Coffee does not have the same mechanism of action, meaning nicotine is always going to reap benefits above and beyond that of caffeine. Even better, it is additive when combined with coffee so smoking and drinking coffee is going to be better than doing either separately. If you can't handle intelligence sticks, you might want to go back to your reddit.

>SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SMOKE, ARE YOUR RETARDED?

>>14528574
>intelligence sticks
thats what I'm calling my stogies from now on lmao

>>14528566
they are actually quite different in both primary effect and function.

>>14528574
>it is additive when combined with coffee
true, but nicotine does reduce the effectiveness of caffeine

Imagine acting superior for having a disgusting addiction, you need these threads to cope with your retardation of actually smoking tobacco in 2020. Pathetic.

What kind of flat earth fuckery is this? The native americans built their culture around nicotine and clearly they were the pinnacle of intellect.

>>14529487
Ironic considering you used the piss-poor reasoning of a flat-earther.
>uhhh I'm going to ignore overwhelming pharmacological evidence because look at OOOGA BOOGA men.
>uhhh I'm going to ignore overwhelming geometrical, photographic, and other evidence because look at OOOGA BOOGA men who said that Earth was flat!

Never heard of that book before but after checking it out looks like a really interesting concept, how are you enjoying it so far?

>>14529593
They wouldn't. >>14528194

So I get higher levels of concentration, longer digits and no Parkinson’s, but in exchange I get cancer, heart disease and a stroke? What kind of bullshit deal is this?

>>14529646
>but in exchange I get cancer, heart disease and a stroke?
Studies that came out of Japan only show this at a level of small practical significance.

I just quit smoking. It caused me to cough and a lot of women don't like it. Plus $8.50 a day extra money. I think I will just keep using the nicotine patch though, all the benefits none of the drawbacks.

I'm actually liking it quite a lot, but it's not a book I'd recommend to anyone. I chose to read it following the alternative chapter sequence, and have come to appreciate it for how stimulating and pleasurable it is if you read it playfully. Some bits seem purposefully abstruse but in a way that seems to work, and I actually quite enjoy them. It reminds me a bit of jazz music for how it's serious and silly at the same time. When I first read about it I thought it was going to be like If on a winter's night a traveller, but it's really so much better.

>>14529762
>>smoke kills,
It doesn't. You just believed outdated statistical pseudoscience.
>stinks
Women consistently rank it pleasing, which is why perfumers like Tom Ford use tobacco in a number of their scents.
>and stains teeth
This is drastically overstated.
There are MARGINAL leaps between
Tea drinking (the worst) >>>>> coffee >>>>>> tobacco. The latter two are entirely superficial stains, meaning they are reversible and come out with a good cleaning. Whereas the fluorinated compounds black tea, form covalent bonds with enamel and even seep into the bone matrix underlying it.

>>14529801
then why all the negative publicity against it - especially considering how big the tobacco industry and lobby is?
also, as a smoker, cigarette stains on teeth may be removed with a deep clean, but they are much uglier and more noticeable than those left by coffee or whatever

Woah didn't know we had a Judaism general thread

>>14528194
>study shows that nicotine addicts preform better when not in withdrawal

>>14529827
It's a Scruton memorial thread

>>14529822
Heavy government funding into anti-smoking science to deflect from the real agent in the rise of cancer rates, the nearly thousand + above ground nuclear tests. That's what helped get it going but it sustained itself because the hypothesis seemed commonsensical (SMOKE BAD), so many researchers held findings to be true without much hard scrutiny.

Read Whitby's books.
