I never said I was a role model
I only smoked a few times in my life and usually got a bad asthma attack. This was always when drunk and stupid and always around a friend who smokes who'd happened to light up a fag. Cigars were fine though, I liked how they made me less stressed on the rare occasion that I had one.

Anyway, I get badly stressed out in generally and don't cope with it well and always wished I could smoke but well, asthma and lung cancer and all that crap. A few months ago I had a particularly stressful week and bought an e cig to help me cope and well, I've been using those since. Oddly enough I've not once had to use my inhaler or even remotely had any semblance of an asthma attack, so that's a supreme plus there. I also feel compelled to snack less which is pretty awesome.

But yea, if you're going to smoke and your hellbent on it, go with e cigs. Even though there's not enough evidence to go with long term effects, there is substantial evidence that it's far better than smoking actual cigarettes. After trying a few brands, I now use the v2 brand and quite like it. They have lots of different colours, flavours, and strengths and whatnot and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than cigarettes.

does most american cigarette tobacco still come from turkey? or is that just a sales expression

OP it doesn't matter what you smoke just start smoking PRONTO! smoking will make you look unbelievably cool but the important thing is to start smoking literally right now and never stop for more than a few minutes at a time. also dip while smoking if it's possible: that will double the coolness factor

Pipes don't require that much maintenance tbh. Just clean it out every once in a while, really. They're also a real nice, cheap way to smoke - usually you can get a "starter pipe" for just a couple bucks, a little tobacco goes a long way, then if you wanna move up to something nicer a middle of the road pipe is like $25-40.

It's a bit neckbeardy but if you're not an insecure babby it's great. Very relaxing to smoke out on the porch or patio, and nice and smooth. More of a "sitting around" smoke than something you'd just pull out on the street like a ciggy

I'd suggest ecigs, they seem like a great way to get addicted to nicotine without the hassle of traditional smoking.

I say take care of the chemical dependency first, then move to cigarettes.

I have to get in my goddamn loving car and drive around to smoke b/c i work for a corporate buttfuck company but it's not a hassle because this hot rear end bitch who works on my floor also smokes and when i go to sleep i think about her and i smoking together and also her boobs.

that's a benefit imho

Snus!

As usual, goons managed to be pretentious and snooty over snus which is like the most common tobacco product in sweden. Dont listen to goons, order a kaliber vit and enjoy your snus.

i posted the general vit goonfridaynight.jpg on the first page, did people not like my stuffs? i missed that, but snus is big time good. just don't ever buy it unless you're already addicted to nicotine. being the safest nicotine product on earth is still probably not as good of a hobby as fishing for your health

What the gently caress is kaliber vit though? You said vit instead of white so I'm guessing you're in America too, yet you picked a brand I haven't heard of here and I'm pretty sure can't be as popular or recommended in Scandinavia as General/Ettan/Skruf etc, so you've got me curious

ah good idea, in terms of taste what's it like? i've had granit which was a decent general knock off, but here in america general is now the only 'real' snus but it's almost everywhere, no longer 1 usd per can (including tax) but varies from 6.99 to very often still only $3.99

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 knew a kid in college that actually "wanted to take up smoking".

He also "had a girlfriend back home in Minnesota" who "happened to find out that he claimed she was his girlfriend" and "thought he was a weird loving creep".

He also claimed southern AND northern heritage so you literally could not make fun of anything in his presence.

He also went to a summer camp called "You did it? I did it better." for everything.

Everything.

He also "shat the bed" after a frat rush.

He also begged his parents for money to replace the mattress.

As far as I know he's working a boring-rear end drone job and he wears a tie.

So overall, he's kicking my rear end at life.

Don't start smoking OP. It's a bad idea. Get a vape if you must inhale something.

That said I've heard good things about American spirits. Give those a try, dunno why they don't export to Canada under Canadian spirits but whatever.

Also if you can, export plain, or anything plain because filters are a loving joke.

Vaping is the dumbest thing and theres no way to do it without looking like a massive tool. enjoy your popcorn lung

american spirits are hella nice. i've always wanted to try them and finally got some from germany, because the company doesnt care about our lovely and heavily taxed country.
if you gonna smoke, i'd say go for the chemical free ones (AS, lucky strike). they're probably not a whole lot better, but every little bit helps when you're inhaling smoke

i smoked in the past but quit for a long time. earlier this year i got into cigars, which are the supreme way to smoke, but the average cigar takes like 30-60 mins.
that's why there's cigarillos and cigarettes.
