I saw some people going out in the sweltering heat near where I work for a smoke break and it made me think. Do people who regularly smoke just not give a poo poo about their health? Yes, I do enjoy the occasional cigarette, usually when drunk, but I've kept it down to a level where it still gives me a rush and makes me sick if I smoke while sober. Regardless, I always regret it the next day, due to health reasons, the smell, my teeth, everything.

So do people who smoke regularly just not give a gently caress about that poo poo, do they lives their lives in never ending regret, or have they taken the red pill and have learned society's stigma about smoking is actually some liberal commie bullshit?

pull up and park outside a denny's sometime and just watch for a few minutes. youll see these 500 pound women come out and just start chain smoking in between eating breakfast slams. theyve usually given up on make up at that point also and have dark circles under their eyes and are wearing sweatpants. its depressing to watch

regular smoking smells like poo poo and makes you gross but those e-cig things are pretty cool and don't make you smell like burning rear end

yeah pretty much. my dad just died a pretty lovely death of throat cancer like a month before his 50th birthday, so i'm well aware of what'll happen to me, but i think part of me kinda feels i deserve a young lovely death like that. it's strange. i dunno about other smokers, though, i know a lot of my friends just really look fuckin cool when they smoke so it does seem worth the risk for them at least.

why bother with vanilla at that point, couldn't you save money by just using cold milk thickened with corn starch?

Digestive system
-Risk of ulcerative colitis has been frequently shown to be reduced by smokers on a dose-dependent basis; the effect is eliminated if the individual stops smoking.[5][6]
-Smokers are less often affected by aphthous ulcer.[7]
-Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, helps defend against parasites.[8]

Cardiovascular system
-Kaposi's sarcoma[9]

Reproductive/breasts
-Smoking is well-known to reduce the risk of Endometrial cancer[10]
-breast cancer among women carrying the very high risk BRCA gene[11]
-Pre-eclampsia[12]
-Smoking may also reduce rates of uterine fibroids.[13][14] Some preliminary data from 1996 suggested a reduced incidence,[15] but overall the evidence is unconvincing.[16]

Miscellaneous
-The majority (80% in Australia in 2001, 88% in England, 85% in the US in 2007) of people with schizophrenia smoke, apparently to self-medicate.[17]
-Smoking is also known to reduce the incidence of sarcoidosis.[18]
