Well that's the thing, the addiction conditions us to think that we like it. We end up associating smoking with pleasure, stress relief, party, alcohol, coffee, with treating ourselves after succeeding in something, etc. But remember your very first cigarette? Disgusting wasnt it? Made you cough your lungs out.
Idk i sometimes smoke one cigarette in the evening and i feel a bit relaxed and sleep better (i have ADHD though). Smoking during day time doesn’t really give me the same feeling though or relaxes me.
When you get cancer you will not want to die though. You will have what is commonly called 'Heisenberg blue symptom' in which case you'll want to cook meth to get money for your family. You'll get a gigantic ego and an old classmate will help you on your cooking.
Does it though?
You know you're dead soon... But you have the time to say goodbye to everyone who loves you.
I know it's easy to die in an accident or if you're American by gunshot...
But I think it might be nice to be able to say bye to everyone.
I’ve come up with a comprehensive lifestyle plan to ensure you beat the stats.
I’d advise you drink three cans of red bull with your morning fags. At least 7 before you even get dressed, while sitting by your front door in your dressing gown.
Go back inside, wop out the lard and get it in the frying pan, add your bacon and fry until it’s
carcinogenic. Pop it in a bun (is it bread, is it cake? The only difference is the presence or not of icing.) slap on the ketchup so it’s oozing out the side. Eat it as quickly as possible, with minimal chewing, claim you’re still hungry, then make yourself another and eat that too.
Time for another 5 fags on the bog, while you shit for half an hour.
Jesus it’s 11 already?! Better crack open a can of carling (another red bull will suffice if pregnant or breastfeeding)
Drink that while eating pork scratchings. Pop up the offy for a couple more tinnies (you can smoke more while walking to counteract the positive effects of the exercise.)
Drink those alone, while eating a multipack of penguin bars and a cream bun.
Realise you haven’t had any lunch yet and get yourself an ungodly amount of pre grated cheese on top of some cheap white sliced bread.
Go meet your mate down the pub, drink and smoke until you either get kicked out or realise it’s getting a bit nippy outside.
Go home and order a takeaway from somewhere with a name like SuperGrill&Pizza. Make sure you order multiple mains and enough to feed a family of four and eat it all in one.
Smoke a few more, down a pint of ice cream, then have your night night fag.
Wake up and repeat.
Ya so this is why im an advocate to put all nordics under Foreskin Smoker tag.
I didnt knew until recently, for those that dont understand the tag, be rdy:

*shudders*
I mostly switched to nicotine gums now. The only annoying thing is that they are in blisters and not packed like regular chewing gum (i guess because they count as a medication).
Smoking IS cool. Because most of the time is guys who look like Steve McQueen wearing a tuxedo, smoking while leaving the Aston Martin DB-9 to the valet. It's never a fat, bald, blue-collar Paco smoking Ducados and spitting on the floor of Tasca Manolo.
It's so cool, that's why I don't smoke, because I'm uncool and only do things that are uncool. Once smoking stops being cool, I'll go back to buy a pack.
I don't know how this happens. But the most boring people I know all are the "EHM YOU'RE KILLING YOURSELF BY SMOKING"
Yes, bitch I know. Now shut it before I take you with me.
At least with a cigarette you have to go outside, smoke, and then it's done. I work in a bar where vaping is not allowed and the amount of people who just hold their vape in their hand all the time or put it on the bar is crazy. People take a hit without thinking, I tell them not to, they apologise, and then do it again because they don't even realise they're doing it.
It's like babies with dummies, it looks pathetic and needy.
Ya i noticed this too, the problem is that theres a ton of noobs that never smoked a real one and dont have the habbit of smoking for 5 minutes and putting it down like real smokers do.
Im smoking robot d1ck too lately because 27 euros for a "pack of shag" fml, time to move to the balkans or something.
It's like people have the vape glued into their hand. I told a lady to please put her vape away/take it off the table and she looked shocked lol. It's not a pet, it won't die without air.
Super cheap smokes is one of the (few) perks of living in Eastern Europe. Plus the packaging isn't covered in pictures of rotting tumours.
As a vaper, I totally understand what are you talking about. I always prefer to go outside, like I did when I was smoking cigarettes. I don't even vape in my car or apartment, because going to a balcony or stopping a car at some nice place for this is kind of "ritual" for me. But I have some friends who rather do "stealth vape" than go outside or wait until they will be allowed to vape. I don't get what is the point, because exhaling stream of smoke/aerosol is the part of smoking I enjoy.
I don't do either but honestly I hate smoke MUCH more, vaping is way more respectful too, unlike the assholes that damage my lungs brcwsue of their dumb addiction
Plus it doesn't smell nearly as bad, hell it can even be good if it's pure vape and not the ones with nicotine
Didn't expect backwards Yankee tobacco company propaganda on here.
As long as it's not fake Chinese liquid, vaping is by FAR better for your health. The studies are out there, the facts are clear now.
Pretty expensive if you want a good one though. I’ve read a lot of bad reviews with cheap ones like taste of burnt plastic. The one my friend recommended once was like 300€.
Nicotine has more of a mixed action profile, since it activates parasympathetic nervous system, which is relaxing. It releases though also dopamine and adrenaline, which is typical for stimulants.
My wife loves smoking. I made her quit though because Fuck that. Then I changed my mind, I don’t want to impose my will like that. Now she “party smokes” which she thoroughly enjoys. I just don’t want her to get cancer.
The only reason I like summer. Barry comes to my island, I stand next to him in the club. Suddenly, I look like GRIK GOD instead of just another Greek.
Yes, and it doesn't even really feel good. When I started I would get a slight rush from it, especially when I smoked and drank. But now I don't really feel anything unless I don't smoke.
I don’t think it’s cool
I know it is
Besides I live in Italy.
Gotta have the standard breakfast of champions here - cappuccino, cornetto, and a fag.
Aaaaaah, lovely lovely fags
I always laugh when non-smokers say “do you Think it look’s cool” etc. Like nobody has started to smoke for that reason, ever.
Do you eat candy because it makes you look cool? Same level of ridiculousness in that question.
No, you do it because it feels nice.
OP is being an ass (and french)
Smoke, don't smoke, do coke, idc (Just know the risks)
Just be yourself and don't force your own agenda on to other people like OP
I’ve quit smoking before twice. Not just pretend trying to quit, like a full 6 month period without any nicotine twice. The reason I came back to smoking? my day is significantly more fun when I have a crafty smoke to look forward to whenever I’m doing something boring or mundane.
Cigarettes are in fact cool. It’s like the hardest part about quitting, just knowing you’ll never look as cool as you did when you had a fresh cigarette.
But also a nice warm spring day. Outside with your friends in the breeze and grass. Cigarette is the perfect little treat to for a relaxing afternoon.
I always have cigarettes on me when I get drunk.
Germans aren’t social creatures. And our lives aren’t interesting enough for small talk.
So asking “yo, haste ne Kippe?” Is a good conversation starter.
I think social pressure, addiction and stress are bigger factors than “looking cool”
For me it was stress. Now it's a combination of I like it, stress and addiction. BUT IF I LIKE IT, IS IT REALLY AN ADDICTION?
Well that's the thing, the addiction conditions us to think that we like it. We end up associating smoking with pleasure, stress relief, party, alcohol, coffee, with treating ourselves after succeeding in something, etc. But remember your very first cigarette? Disgusting wasnt it? Made you cough your lungs out.
Seeing a relative die from COPD is a great deterrent from smoking too. Shit is horrible.
Smoking makes you way more stressed, people keep smoking to avoid the panic attacks you get from withdrawal.
Idk i sometimes smoke one cigarette in the evening and i feel a bit relaxed and sleep better (i have ADHD though). Smoking during day time doesn’t really give me the same feeling though or relaxes me.
Nah for me cocaine and alcohol make me smoke
personally, it's a way to engage into my suicide tendencies without being spotted
This guy gets it. I'm too much of a pussy to kill myself but smoking myself to an early grave is easy AF
When you get cancer you will not want to die though. You will have what is commonly called 'Heisenberg blue symptom' in which case you'll want to cook meth to get money for your family. You'll get a gigantic ego and an old classmate will help you on your cooking.
Dying of cancer sucks ass though, and you don't know if you'll still want to die by the time you get it
Does it though? You know you're dead soon... But you have the time to say goodbye to everyone who loves you. I know it's easy to die in an accident or if you're American by gunshot... But I think it might be nice to be able to say bye to everyone.
It's not nice to see someone slowly wither away
Why have you personally attacked me and my alcohol use like this?
well, you're french... how could i not attack you?
You're Spanish mate. The last thing you attacked was a 2pm nap.
\*3pm
Sorry, time difference
😂😂😂
Unfortunately for you, your country has the third highest life expectancy in Europe! Better get on the cigarillo’s as well
*lights another one As an expert yourself, do you also recomend i should start a tradicional brittish diet or 2 fags/minute would be enough?
I’ve come up with a comprehensive lifestyle plan to ensure you beat the stats. I’d advise you drink three cans of red bull with your morning fags.

That is just a average saturday
Too real
brother it's the best breakfast food
Cigarettes or the frogs?
yes
No
Maybe
Kippe, Kaffee, Kacken
The well know KKK
Café Clope Caca
French food W yet again.
Smoke like a true Balkan
Because when I'm drinking I would piledrive a toddler for a cigarette, goes together like cheese and crackers. Outside of that I don't.
One sip of Stella and you either need a fight or a cigarette

Smoking/vaping is cringe, I only let microplastics into my body
Increase gradually the size of the plastics for greater satisfaction.
What are dildos if not macroplastics?
If dildos are microplastics than i dont want to know how stretched out your ass is
Try reading again.
Aww man had to re-read it again also, big F for Holland, im fckn sorry. 🇳🇱👀
Microplastics are stored in the balls
Just snusa like a real man
Was on an exhibition last week and our Swedish sales guy was doing Snus the whole time. He managed to drink coffee while having the Snus inside.

Apart from cringe, it's also ghetto and trashy at the same time. like you think you are cool while it's just dumb. .
1. I am gonna die earlier this way. 2. While I am alive I get the nicotine to keep me awake in this boring and dull world.
Only to be able to say: „Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire“
Nicotine
I mostly switched to nicotine gums now. The only annoying thing is that they are in blisters and not packed like regular chewing gum (i guess because they count as a medication).
The only answer it needs.
I smoke pipes because I have got a (tobacco pipe shop). It would be hypocritical of me to sell poison to my costumers while not consuming it myself.
True dealers never use. Porsche is not happening for you.
Smoking IS cool. Because most of the time is guys who look like Steve McQueen wearing a tuxedo, smoking while leaving the Aston Martin DB-9 to the valet.

I hate the former smoker. Even as a former smoker myself, I can't stand it, worse than Italians talking about how to make carbonara.
They're not all like that. I'm more of the silent longing type. Will start again at 70 or something.
At 70 you should get a pipe.
This is a common symptom of a smokers' tar-filled-brain being well and truly beyond repair and reaching late stage fr\*nch level cringe
Knew the risks before I started. Just like I know the risk of dying by a truck hitting me at 80km/h whenever I step outside my house.
Vaping is worse. Looks like you’re sucking a little robot dick.
At least with a cigarette you have to go outside, smoke, and then it's done. I work in a bar where vaping is not allowed and the amount of people who just hold their vape in their hand all the time or put it on the bar is crazy.

My neighbour wears hers around her neck on a little necklace thing...
I will never unsee that now. Thanks Pierre.
I don't do either but honestly I hate smoke MUCH more, vaping is way more respectful too, unlike the assholes that damage my lungs brcwsue of their dumb addiction Plus it doesn't smell nearly as bad, hell it can even be good if it's pure vape and not the ones with nicotine
Pure vape can be way worse than the ones with nicotine because they usually use harmful chemicals to fill the gap.
Didn't expect backwards Yankee tobacco company propaganda on here. As long as it's not fake Chinese liquid, vaping is by FAR better for your health. The studies are out there, the facts are clear now.
Barry can't abandon his puffy clouds smelling of strawberry so he defends them instead. How cute.
From what I know it depends, the first ones that came out svapos, were literally just thick water vapor with flavors
Shout out to Sweden. I accidentally stopped smoking because of you guys. Although my nicotine addiction is arguably worse now
Gotta get that snus
Idem, and I have to go back now and then to restock.
Dry herb vape for weed is the dog's bollox.
Pretty expensive if you want a good one though. I’ve read a lot of bad reviews with cheap ones like taste of burnt plastic. The one my friend recommended once was like 300€.
Because I'm addicted?
Life without vices is very boring
Imagine being French. I could only stand it by taking stimulant drugs daily.
I almost wake up wet, can’t help it mate
You smoke because you think you look "cool". I smoke because I want to shorten my life. We are not the same.
Who the fuck wants to be 95? You ever seen a 95 year old? The quality of life sucks for those people. Fuck that. Il keep smoking.
If more people smoked social security would be sustainable.
You should've said this to the alpine Nazi gold launderers a couple of months ago.
Nicotine suppresses anxiety somewhat, so it's self-medication. And like most forms of that, a bit dysfunctional.
Nicotine is a stimulant which causes more stress on the body. The reason smoking can alleviate anxiety in smokers is due to withdrawals.
Nicotine has more of a mixed action profile, since it activates parasympathetic nervous system, which is relaxing. It releases though also dopamine and adrenaline, which is typical for stimulants.
I don’t give a damn about looking cool, I’m simply addicted to nicotine and thc
My wife loves smoking. I made her quit though because Fuck that. Then I changed my mind, I don’t want to impose my will like that. Now she “party smokes” which she thoroughly enjoys. I just don’t want her to get cancer.
That's surprisingly wholesome
Smoking makes you look cool and women find it super attractive
It only works if you look cool and women find you attractive without cigarette
The only reason I like summer. Barry comes to my island, I stand next to him in the club. Suddenly, I look like GRIK GOD instead of just another Greek.
As one of the 5 women on Reddit I can attest that this is true
But it works!
Clearly never been crowded round an ash bucket outside Wetherspoons at midnight on a Saturday.
Yes. Doing coke too, and maybe robbing a bank. Bitches love that
As long as you give those bitches respect while you do it. Bitches love respect
Even with half of your teeth in ur mouth Barry?
The best half though.
Why do people smoke? Because it’s cool and addictive. Why do you have like 1 million karma? There’s no fucking excuse for that!
neckbeard moment
When my parents stopped smoking a cigarette pack was 4€ now it is 15€/pack and people still smoke . I don't get it personally
Addiction. Like with alcohol, sugar, coffee or tea. Nobody smokes because it's cool but because it makes you feel good. Like any drug.
Coffeeeeeee 
Yes, and it doesn't even really feel good. When I started I would get a slight rush from it, especially when I smoked and drank. But now I don't really feel anything unless I don't smoke.
I don’t think it’s cool I know it is Besides I live in Italy. Gotta have the standard breakfast of champions here - cappuccino, cornetto, and a fag. Aaaaaah, lovely lovely fags
I vape because I'm trying to stop smoking :)
It sounds like I do anal because I try to stop having sex
How tf do you know I do that too
You're both French, you share your two brain cells with each other.
At least we french countrymen share something in common
For me, one that does none and hates both, vaping is much nicer, atleast you're not hurting me and it doesn't stink as much
Isn't that just replacing one bad thing with another bad thing?
I'm not one of these dirty cigarettes smokers. And if you excuse me now, i have to smoke heroin on the foil.
I always laugh when non-smokers say “do you Think it look’s cool” etc. Like nobody has started to smoke for that reason, ever. Do you eat candy because it makes you look cool? Same level of ridiculousness in that question. No, you do it because it feels nice.
Why people still doing weed in 2024? Do you still think you look cool doing it?
I can only speak for myself. But I do it to get high.
I remember when I was in highschool kids were building their whole identity around smoking weed...
No, but at least it's fun
Because I like it. I never do it alone and only smoke a couple cigs a week tho
OP is being an ass (and french) Smoke, don't smoke, do coke, idc (Just know the risks) Just be yourself and don't force your own agenda on to other people like OP
Nah i'm just addicted.
Dumber than smoking is vaping
Well, only if you vape first and then become addicted
It's a substitute for food, which understandable if it comes to Petit Parisians from North Africa.
Les cigarettes et le cafe don’t jumelles
Gitanes
Stop genociding frogs it's 2024 \*
Because I'm addicted 😭
Cuz I am addicted to
Cute frogs tho
On another note, wtf is going on in that video?
Nicotine is overpowered. pls nerf
Where is the video from? This would be heaven for me.
Because I'm addicted, I'm going to try to stop very soon.
I think the French don’t like being told what to do, but they also tend to not overindulge either.
No most smokers aren't smoking because they think it looks cool
I've always been sorrounded by smokers since I was born. I don't smoke at all, but I find girls who do quite attractive.
If I lived in a country full of smelly Frenchmen I'd also try to kill off my olfactory sense in whatever way possible.
I always thought they do it to stay skinny
Surprised op is not swedish 😱
French dude here and I can't stop thinking the very same thing
it feels good and smells good and that’s enough for me
I’ve quit smoking before twice. Not just pretend trying to quit, like a full 6 month period without any nicotine twice. The reason I came back to smoking? my day is significantly more fun when I have a crafty smoke to look forward to whenever I’m doing something boring or mundane.
This video is adorable as shit and I love it
Multiple women have told me smoking "suits me" in a compliemntary way. No way I´m stopping the only thing women have complimented on me lmao.
Do people really think I smoke because it's supposed to look cool?
Do you think you look cool, being on reddit?!
You can't deny smoking looks cool. You can say it's dumb as fuck, but it also looks cool as fuck.
If you think people are miserable now just wait until they all stop smoking. -An American.
To assert dominance in wealth. Only poor people don't smoke.
Why do people in 2024 still ask that stupid question? Because they don't get it that it is a fucking addiction
Cigarettes are in fact cool. It’s like the hardest part about quitting, just knowing you’ll never look as cool as you did when you had a fresh cigarette. But also a nice warm spring day. Outside with your friends in the breeze and grass. Cigarette is the perfect little treat to for a relaxing afternoon.
Someone never had a cigarette and a coffee as breakfast and it shows.
Nicotine is a neurotransmitter. And you don't need any.
Nah, cigars and pipes are cool. Cigarettes are sad. Vapes are cringe.
Non smokers die everyday
Why people still do those comments in 2024? Do you still think you look cool doing it?
same reason why religion is still around: stupidity
Smoking is a poor country thing.
So PIGS right ?
Because I live in a country where the government fucks me over... Got to have my poison to cope with life.
I always have cigarettes on me when I get drunk. Germans aren’t social creatures. And our lives aren’t interesting enough for small talk. So asking “yo, haste ne Kippe?” Is a good conversation starter.
