I'm gonna start smoking

[Anonymous No.13597160]

All my favorite authors and creators smoke and after thinking about it i'm convinced that smoking is a nice way to relax and destress yourself when critically thinking. I hope to improve my writing in short time. Comments or concern?

It relaxes in the beginning but it soon loses its effects and it becomes a placebo thing

[Anonymous No.13597175]

No concerns. Smokers deserve whatever happens to them. Just don't do it around other people.

I always used to buy a pack of cigarettes for finals week at uni, and I enjoyed taking short breaks to clear my head and smoke. Otherwise, I've never found them to be that useful or stimulating, just a nice head rush. I'm surprised I never got hooked, haven't smoked in over a year.

If you're doing it for aesthetic purposes, which I assume you are, try some kind of herbal cigarette first, and only later try tobacco if you're certain it's for you.

I disagree, smoking is fucking awesome, there's nothing like a good cigarette after a meal or a beer, even waking up the first thing to do is lit a cigarette and think about life, it relaxes and helps me keep my anxiety away, also the urges to masturbate is very weak, whenever I feel like fapping I just lit a cigarette and it goes away

[Anonymous No.13597429]

>>13597160
I strongly recommend you don't. Not for some pussy moral reasons, but for the fact that it makes other aspects of your life much harder:
>you will frequently cough. It will be really bad when you first start, you'll slightly get used it so it will seem like it went away, then it will become frequent, harsher, and more unpleasant.
>when you have a cold, it sucks really bad and last an extra day or two
>in many social situations, you'll be heavily craving a smoke but the opportunity won't be there so you'll get distracted and anxious.
>why saddle yourself with a vice that's so difficult to quit? Because you WILL want to quit someday.

If you get easily addicted to shit then don't do it bro. It's fake relaxation if you're addicted because it's the need for a nicotine hit that is making you nervous in the first place. If it's a cigarette occasionally, when you're stressed or something, then no harm I guess. It could give you a nice headrush and all, but there are better ways to relax.

Op please don't do this. I work in an ER and without fail the patients who come in looking ten years older than they actually are have smoking in their current medical history. Open heart surgery? Smoker. CPAP every night for COPD? Smoker. I've seen so much lung cancer, so many blocked arteries. A half a pack a day is all it takes to destroy your body. Please think about what will happen when you get addicted, because you will get addicted, and you've been smoking for twenty years. Every round of even mild chest pain will send you running to the hospital in a panic because you know it's going to kill you one day. Smoking is the most foolishly destructive thing any person could ever do.

Great-grandfather died at 95 smoking three packs a day til the end. He was famous for lighting a cigarette while holding another one in hand
My guess is that it becomes placebo and you’re addicted to the gesture more than the actual nicotine hit

Herbal cigarettes are a fucking meme. They cause cancer the same way as tobacco does, and quitting after trying some and not enjoying it comes normal

[Anonymous No.13598822]

Yeah, I'm a writer and I can tell you for certain that you have to smoke to be a writer. The reason is that while we're writing we often find ourselves in the situation of not knowing what the next sentence should be. This is when we sit back and take a drag of a cigarette. After the drag we sit there for a few more moments and a line occurs to us. This is how writing works. If you don't smoke it doesn't work. Then you're just sitting there.

I used to smoke frequently during stressful periods of my degree, and I always used to hate how hard it was to exercise cardiovascularly afterwards. I’d only recommend picking it up if you have no intention of doing any sport, because smoking will ruin it for you.

[Anonymous No.13598928]

>>13597160
If this is true you are 100% retarded. It only relaxes smokers because they are constantly going through nicotine withdrawal and the next hit feels 'relaxing'. They are at a different baseline to you if you don't smoke at all. What a fucking stupid idea, you probably just want to look 'cool' as well you massive nigger. I would tell you to kill yourself but sounds like you're already on board with that anyway.

I can't speak for cigarettes but smoking a pipe is definitely a meditative contemplative experience. It's an entirely different thing to be sitting on a park bench smoking a pipe as opposed to sitting on a park bench not smoking a pipe.

[Anonymous No.13598959]

Pipe tobacco quality, variety & price point is superior to cigs & cigars, with a range of nicotine levels between blend genres if that's your thing in particular.

>>13598802
>Great-grandfather died at 95 smoking three packs a day til the end.
Some smokers' gentle raw vs. sucking probably a factor (flavor vs. hit), with lesser smoke volume inhalation/at lower burn temps.

Snus & vape for the least invasive/risky nicotine application; if you smoke, smoke for flavour, an savoring it.

Listen here anon, I never even smoked once, and I've been experiencing lung problems since last November. It's fucking nasty. I thought it was an infection and took antibiotics for 15 days, but it is still there. X-Ray was negative, so it can't be that bad, but it still sucks. Don't fucking do it, it's not worth it, you'll get addicted and get COPD or lung cancer, and that's not a /lit/ way to die. Funny thing is I actually dreamed about starting a smoking habit last night.

But seriously OP, don't do it.

It'd better be the case because if you start smoking you won't have that much time.

I don't smoke a lot, I'll smoke a bowl when I'm basking in the sun in my favourite place outside, then when the pack runs out I won't buy another for a while. Of course it's not healthy for the body but it's good for the mind. Can't explain what's so good about it and you wouldn't understand anyway, you have to try it yourself

[Anonymous No.13599132]

most in this board can not wait for their meaningless life to come to an end, yet they are clinging on their health and puristic virtues. Oh look at me i dont smoke, i eat no white sugar, i do everything just as the authority commands me.
Then they seethe out of rage that no women comes and picks them by default, for being the polished citizens that they are.
Op smoke if you want to do it, but beware of the dangers, i smoke sometimes and then i am battleing my way oout of it, most low willpower niggers will not be capable of it and smoke their whole life. Smoking out of neurotic driven urges is shit tier, smoking for contemplation and relaxation is god tier. Nicotine is a well known nootropic and all these npc's with their angsty muh nicotine withdrawal inducing stress can fuck themselves

The stress a smoker feels is caused by nicotine withdrawal. So the act of smoking itself causes the stress, that a smoker quells by smoking another cigarette.

I've been smoking as long as I can remember, and I'll smoke myself into the grave, but don't you fucking do it OP. Nobody should smoke, ever, and the only reason your favourite authors smoked is because back when they were still alive, everybody smoked.
Smoking says nothing about a person except that they smoke, and it's ridiculous to think that it'd somehow make you a better writer. It introduces complications to your lifestyle and every smoker comes to regret it, if only less than they'd regret the life they'd live without it. You only smoke to see your sighs.
