Cigarettes have no redeeming qualities. At least some shit like heroin makes you feel really good. Nicotine just makes you feel slightly better, but then permanently worse until you either use it again or quit long term.

EDIT: For context, I smoked for ten years and quit a little over half as long ago. This is bitter ex-smoker talk, not nagging do-gooder talk.

Blackbeard got the same effect by lighting his beard on fire. Thus the name.

smoking cigarettes was the only time in my life i felt calm in a social situation and like a normal person able to engage in small talk without it being unbearable

but I could just take nicotine gum or some shit for that I quit smoking forever ago

it’s less the time outside together and more how nicotine made my brain feel

I legitimately never had an adult friend until the first time I was accepted into a college smoking circle on the dorm porch. It really does lower social boundaries.

Probably why I’m such a nicotine fiend now years later.

That seems more like an issue with the alienation of our modern neoliberal purgatory than any inherent benefit of tobacco.

Unambiguously good. Full stop. All y’all who are calling this nanny state shit need to grow up.

Cigarettes have no space in a sane society. They are tremendously harmful to people’s health. Not just those who smoke but anyone anywhere near them and even anyone who spends time in a room where someone has smoked (third hand smoke, Google it)

Obviously trying to ban them out of nowhere won’t work so this phase out makes a lot of sense

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).
