Yep, and should have started earlier. Smoking is such a good way to give yourself time to think. And since this is a literature board, the biggest example for me is the break and stimulus it provides after writing sessions.

it's not even that hard to quit.
When I was a teenager i had a smoking habit but when i stayed over at my grandparent's during winter break I would go months without smoking and it didnt bother me at all. I started smoking more in college but quit pretty easily after some years.
Maybe its just me tho

I smoked from age 14 until 26, and now haven't had a cigarette in just over a year. I'd strongly recommend against people starting for the image or because its part of the 'art life' (love David Lynch but that is retarded). There is absolutely no reason to smoke, and every reason that smokers come up with is their addicted brain making excuses. There's nothing good about making your life worse in order to make some multinational tobacco company richer

weed is for stupid people.
You are smoking something that is making you dumb, why are you doing that?
There isn't any single smart stoner out there! If you are going to inhale something, then at least tobacco may enhance your ability to think.

But people, don't smoke.
I do smoke but just when I listen to music, generally I put a symphony to play, listen a little then light a cigarette, finish, keep listneing, then light another one, finish and wait for the symphony to be over

Actually, high openness to experience is positively correlated with high IQ. So, lesser intelligent people are less likely to try drugs. Regarding its cognitive impact, it could only decrease your iq if used consistently in early adolescence (neuroplasticity can still fix much of the damage later in life but that early period is critical for brain development and thus harder for recovery). I would also contest your statement about there being no intelligent stoners, as that is quite anecdotal. Many great literaries smoked weed. Deleuze & Guattari were both fond of it (especially during the writing of A Thousand Plateaus).

Probably not a strong habit. I quit after a solid decade. I smoked the most in the last 4 -6 years, after quitting and restarting many times. Not to sound like a clone of my compatriot in this thread but as soon as you really quit (and I mean really decide to never have one again) you start feeling better. You're always accruing a debt when you smoke and you only pay it off when you quit. And once you've paid you never waste a cent on them again.

A better /lit/ choice is to become fit in a way you find personally satisfying. Don't be a Chesterton.

Mellow way to wind down and enjoy the nootropic effects of nicotine without it fucking up my sense of smell, raspy throat, shit lung capacity and smelling like ass. Although there is a possibility of mouth cancer down the line through heavy usage, some companies are releasing tobacco free dip to alleviate that. Having said that, with an active lifestyle and good diet, I hope to end up like Jung who died in his 80s despite chain-smoking a pipe his entire life.
>>16720280
Could be that cigs overload you with nicotine since it's an instant hit. The smoke goes to the lungs and straight into the blood stream. Chewing/dipping is a lot more slow in its delivery of nic.

Thanks for that bold rebuttal.

You quit smoking while a teenager and physically deprived of cigarettes for months on end? Wow, impressive. Try doing it when you've been smoking for 8-10 years, have the money to afford it, a lifestyle that facilitates it, and a routine that relies on it.
