Fascination with cigarettes

Cigarettes are getting to me. I don't ever see myself smoking them in the future but I can't stop watching cigarette reviews and "listening" to people talk about them. The packs are too beautiful. Natural American Spirit menthol to be exact. I'm conscious about my health for the most part but I still have an urge to smoke. I came very close to smoking once. I think I'm just attracted to the act of smoking a plant. Anyone else have an obsession with cigarettes?

 

well i guess it looks cool? I smoke and I like it but its bad and i would stay away if you can. Just smoke some weed if you wanna smoke a plant lol...

 

I'm a former smoker and still very attracted to the idea, especially when it comes to cigars. It's just not worth it though. There are lotsa things that seem cool but are bad ideas. Like torching your work when you don't feel like being there any longer. Stay away.

 

I don't think I'm going to start smoking. But I'm still attracted to it.

 

I started smoking again about two years ago, after a long break. And I'm back in the addiction of wanting to stop but not doing anything about it..

I would stay away.

 

I probably wouldn't have smoked half the cigs that i did when i smoked if i wasn't drinking the whole time.

 

I would suggest that you smoke weed.

Rolling tobacco is a lot of fun, and can taste good, and a freshly lit cigarette can be amazing..... but your mouth hurts/burns/gums are damaged, teeth stained, breath stinks, clothes smell.... Weed is a great hobby, not anywhere near as damaging as tobacco, much more fun than tobacco, smells much nicer when the smoke settles and when it's on you, and doesn't cause the sort of mouth/sinus/lung pain that tobacco does.

If you can avoid addiction it's great occasionally, I quit but have no cravings and can smoke as I please, once every 8-12months, usually..... But unfortianatly the only sure-fire way to find out if you'll get addicted is to try to get addicted.

On the other hand, I think addiction to nicotine is mostly a measure of childish-ness in regards to instant gratification and a "make it go away" mentality, like people who smoke pot to escape.

Cigars and pipes taste very good (real ones, not gas station ones) and are slow to use, and can't really be enjoyed on the run, and as such if addiction worries you but you want to try tobacco, they're a good option (also, you get the full nicotine experience without inhaling any smoke at all, and a much nicer taste). Cost also prohibits abuse of these.

Over all, I suggest that you stay away. But if you must smoke cigarettes, american spirits are probably the best. But at least don't smoke menthol, if you want to smoke TOBACCO. I suggest dark tobaccos.

 

you should try it. you probably wont like it though. I remember the first time cigarette smoke hit my lungs, it hurt like shit.
but I kept smoking because my friends and the people I looked up to in middle school and early freshman year of highschool were all smoking.
now it's seven years or so later and quiting seems like an impossibility.
wish I never fucking started.

 

i think the soft packs look cool...Besides that i love a ciggerete with a beer..Picture perfect

 

I'll give tobacco this, some blends smell amazing out of a pouch.. but beyond that man, it's pretty much death in a stick.
Avoid it!

Peace

 

I only smoke cigarettes when I'm sad, and I've also decided against smoking tailored ones and rolling my own. I'm not addicted and have been using them as an emotional crutch for about 8 months.
If you're truly fascinated and maybe want to try, learn how to roll your own! That way you have to work to kill yourself <3

OR
Just smoke weed. Problem solved!

 

I love the smell of a bag of tobacco


but once you light it I want to puke


maybe i like the smell because it reminds me of my grandfather

 

this thread has enticed me to light a cigarette.

marlboro 72 to be exact.

 

I second that! Special Blend 100s to be exact.

 

Hm.. this is different.

 

I shouldn't have read this.. trying to fight the urge. I always say you never know until you try something, so there ya go. If possible, don't get addicted. I enjoyed them for some time but after a while for me, it just got disgusting and I'd like burn my throat. Yet, I still want one lol

 

The tobacco companies owe me money. I just unintentionally advertised.

 

gross dude, Reds all the way

 

Fuck them cowboy killers!

I agree with you. Smoking tobacco is disgusting and it's not a habit I'd like to indulge in for much longer. but green makes me lose the urge, so i can quit anytime.


Live fast die young?

 

Yes, I just went and bought myself a carton. I'll be sure to write them a letter to let them know what a good sells man you are! :tongue:
