Can’t say I agree. I haven’t smoked regularly now for almost a year, but occasionally just buy a single if I’ve had a beer and have a craving. That’s the nice thing about Latin America, you can buy single cigarettes. I smoke one, feel guilty, and then don’t think about them for a month or so.
oral fixation. it’s a substitute for all the genitalia we’d like to be sucking on instead but can’t, paradoxically because we are sucking on pacifiers to ease that pain.
There’s a tiny chance you may be one of those people that can stay productive on heroin and create great art while on it, so everyone should try it at least once. /S
Way ahead of you. Probably have ingested enough opioids in my lifetime to kill the entire population of Ireland. Still am not a blues musician prodigy unfortunately.
I’m not sure why you put the /s. Heroin is on my bucket list. If I get cancer and I’m gonna die anyway. Fuck chemo. Gimme some fun drugs and let me ride it till I break.
It’s a fun substance before it takes over every aspect of your life. If I had to pick a bucket-list drug though, I’d probably choose oxymorphone over heroin/diacetylmorphine though. It’s better in almost every way besides availability and cost. If the world started collapsing today my first stop would be the closest compounding pharmacy.
To add more to this: Retail and food service both heavily encourage people to start smoking. Managers give extra breaks to smokers, because the managers all take extra breaks to smoke and “it’s only fair, right?” So the employees start smoking to get the extra breaks. Because nobody wants to be the only server on the floor during the peak Sunday post-church lunch rush, getting screamed at by geriatric cunts about their food taking too long, when every single one of your coworkers is outside the back door showing each other memes while puffing on Marlboro reds.
And so those employees start smoking to get the extra breaks. And then those employees become the managers a year or two later, and continue to only give extra breaks to smokers. Because “well I had to start smoking to get the extra breaks, so they can start smoking if they want the extra breaks too.” And the cycle repeats ad infinitum.
And a lot of people work retail and food service when they’re in their late teens/early 20’s. Which means a lot of them start smoking early, and then struggle to quit as adults because they’ve smoked for basically their entire adult life.
why anyone would smoke cigarettes when weed exists is beyond me but ok.
Different receptors. Also, cigarettes are way more addictive.
Edit: Did I get pushback for stating that cigarettes are highly addictive?
Weed turns me into a lazy paranoid dumbass. Sometimes I just want to smoke something and not feel like that.
cigarettes are horrible though, have you tried that hot new trend of using pacifiers?
im using nicotine pacifiers rn, thanks for the suggestion!

friend of mine got hooked exactly like this, on and off.

why anyone would take drugs for stress relief when sports exist is beyond me but ok.
why anyone would use sports for stress relief when art exists is beyond me but ok.
why anyone would use art for stress relief when bottling up your feelings and disassociating exists is beyond me but ok.
Why would anyone bother bottling up their feelings when refusing to acknowledge the existence of feelings exists is beyond me, but ok.
Why anyone would use art for stress relief when heroin exists is beyond me, but ok.

Because cigarettes are addictive? People start in a weak moment and fail to stop. It’s not a rational decision.
To add to this, if you are not carful around people who smoke both, you can get a big hit of nicotine
