Smoking might be cool but how cool will it be when you're DEAD?!

This isn't a rhetorical question FYI, I really want to know the answer.

I've been thinking about taking up smoking. People tugging on a cigarette just look so cool! Unfortunately, I am overwhelmed by the variety of tobacco products...:(

Is there a good brand of cigarette to start with? Should I start with cigarettes? Are cigars a more appropriate introduction?

What about dip or chewing tobacco?

I know some people who really like pipes, but it seems like there is a bunch of maintenance to go with it.

Do tobacco shops still exist!?

Any help would be appreciated!

yeah but what would tenchi think?

i bet if you smoke dat dro your boy will come runnin'

i smoked for a few months when i was temporarily living in a place where EVERYONE socialised through smoking, then quit when i moved out.

it was ok for the social element and the stress relief i guess. overall:

It's one way to discourage teens from starting. And encourage a thriving black market smuggling, but I suppose in Aus that involves boats. In Canada when our tobacco taxes get too high natives just smuggle them up from the US through the reservations.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

You have good taste. Grats you win life.

Op don't loving do it. Smoking is indeed hella cool, good, and fun. It's also expensive and dangerous and nearly impossible to stop. Sometimes I am like, "I think I'll quit" and I won't smoke the next day but then when I wake up on the second day there will be 8-16 3/4ths finished cigarettes in my mouth.

Ah general is great. Kaliber white is basically a less stingy version of general, it tastes like normal i think, just not as strong. Its generally considered to be a beginner-level snus.

Hm Ive never thought about snus as something exotic. In sweden its like an element of the universe, completely normal and most smokers go over to it in their late 20s (including women, its pretty hot and badass honestly), if they dont stop with tobacco for good.

Im gonna go do a taste-a-thon of different snus and then report back someday!


i don't think it's exotic either, the reason why getting general for cheap in america is amazing isn't because it's from sweden, i think the great cool waste of money is that they actually buy tobacco from virginia then make it in sweden then ship it back to me

the reason it's great is because every single tobacco company in america has tried an AMERICAN SNUS where they use sucralose and smaller bags and a big CAMEL tin and all these gimmicks, every single one of them failed, so they teamed up with or bought out or whatever swedish match, and now even the #1 brand of sweden, from sweden, while it is the most successful snus here it's still not really catching on

i'm half expecting it to stop being available again eventually, or just cost more than buying it online as they'll probably have less and less of it at american gas stations if it doesn't blow up soon

quote:

"I would say, that may be true for certain users -- for example, long-time smokers that cannot quit -- but the problem is, it doesn't mean that they're healthy. Regular cigarettes are super unhealthy. E-cigarettes are just unhealthy," he explained.

In laboratory tests, scientists found that the heat-related breakdown of propylene glycol and glycerin -- two solvents found in most e-cigarette liquids -- causes emissions of toxic chemicals such as acrolein, acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. All three are either respiratory irritants or carcinogens, the investigators said.

The new study was published July 27 in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

they are just trumping up a bunch of bullshit to run the indy vape manufacturers out of business. these studies will find that only expensive regulation compliance can be allowed in vapes, so only the big players can compete. dont believe popcorn lung lies!

I'm actually glad then. I get irritated by the fact there are 6,000,000,000 "Vape Companies" like "Ghost Bros Vape" "Smokey Mc Smoke Vape" and poo poo. I used to like to go to flea markets but now half of all stalls at any one I've ever been to are either someone selling pirated DVDs or some dumb rear end vape company.

Now hear me out OP. Pretend you started smoking. Buy a pack a week but instead of actually buying cigarettes; put the money into a jar under your bed. At the end of your life; open up the jar and buy yourself something worthwhile and fulfilling.

While it may not seem very fun I can promise you a longer life and more money if you take this advice 100% guaranteed.

this is a good idea op. do this and give 10% of the proceeds to the idea man. you can give me a few points too for endorsing the plan (people pay for my wisdom on the reg).

Ryoko is a bitch and I would not smoke her drugs under any circumstances.

I tried a snus packet today. I put it in my mouth and it tasted and felt bad so I though it out after a few minutes. I think that form of tobacco is out for me. My friend recommended I try Black and Milds. Do I get the wood or plastic tips?
