    Well, lemme start out by saying tonight i smoked my first cig in a month or so and lemme tell ya, it made me feel so good for about 30 min. im not talking about a high, just idk. The head rush for about 10 minutes also made me not be able to walk for a few minutes without falling down or tripping.

    So i ask why negate the effects of tobacco by smoking it ALL the time? To me that just takes away the positive effects you could be feeling when ya smoke a squizzy.

    I love smoking cigs, but only occasionally. Its like that time when i just chill, smoke a butt, and just think of my life and past expiriences, like my recolletion time. I love it.

    a joint will do the same thing, but better, in my opinion.

    thats what i think, my mum, grandma and pretty much most of my family smoke a pack a day, i smoke cigs sometimes, yes but ive never been addicted to them, been smoking for over 1 year, like in a few days ill smoke a 10 pack, then i wont smoke for like a whole week etc etc. when im drunk tho, i smoke loads, never addicted, easily stop, and i dont even crave any- i just wana smoke to get the buzz and relax if i have some :/

    I wouldn't know. I don't smoke cigs.

    I will, on occasion, have a nice cigar. (just a regular cigar... not a blunt)

    I tell you what, I can go through a few dutchies when I'm having a drink.

    Addiction means you don't get to choose when you want to smoke.. once it starts, you'll want to smoke every thirty minutes or you'll get your usual withdrawal symptoms.

    Yeah I was just going to say, you don't choose to be addicted.. nicotine is an addicting drug. If you can smoke without getting addicted then more power to you, but I personally am going to avoid cigarettes because it doesn't seem worth that risk to me..

    But thats the thing, people usually started smoking when they didnt have a mature view and smoked loads to look cool and then helplessly lost themselves to the addiction of nicotine. True story

    ever notice the difference between manufactured cig. tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco? manufactued tobacco gives you a killer head rush/high whereas roll-your-own really doesnt that much. makes you realize that SOMETHING is giving you that head buzz - chemicals and additives.

    one time i was driving and smoked a hash joint that was in essence, a non-filtered cigarette with hash mixed in. that was one of the few times that i said to myself, "I should not be driving right now" because of the buzz i got from the tobacco. wasnt even from the hash (yet) because it came on too quick and eventually left. nicotine fucks you up in a weird way.

    i used to smoke on occasion, usually when drinking. even then, i would never buy a pack but rather bum them off people. that was also another tactic for not smoking that much - always asking people for one, never buying them. since i felt like an asshole ALWAYS bumming them from others, it would make me think twice about it.

    now, i dont smoke. i´ve had only one night in the past few months where i smoked cigs and i hated it. it increases your hangover (2nd hand smoke will, too) and it kills my throat.

    if you dont smoke, dont start. it´s really not worth the trouble.

    idk, I've smoked butts on and off for about a year and a half and I've never had any problems. I've never felt like I 'needed' a cig, but it's true that sometimes nothing is more relaxing. I realized that I just enjoy smoking things -- pot, cigs, cigars, hookah -- and cigs are a easy way to fill that fix.

    Obv. getting addicted is a risk, but if you're smart and responsible it's easy to avoid. Just don't let yourself chain-smoke them, and when you first start limit yourself to 1 or 2 a day, and I really think you won't get addicted. I go through a pack in about three or weeks-- that's about 1 a day. So ya i agree with the first poster, they're great as an occasional relaxant. Just don't become dependant.

    ive never been addicted because i only smoke cigs after i smoke too much weed(idk why but it really mellows out the high) but thats the only reason i smoke straight up cigarettes usually i just get camel wides and make jibs(cig unpacked and repacked with weed) just cause they are really discreet.
