Edit: note, I haven't smoked myself, so this is second hand info

Like seriously

Short term it

calms you

let's you focus

feels good

can be used fairly consistently while leaving you capable to do work

is minimally intensive to use, just requiring cigarettes and a lighter/match/fire of some sort

Compare that to alcohol or drugs and such. The only thing comparable is tea/coffee.

Long term it

gets you seriously addicted

Gives you over a dozen different cancers and other diseases

massacres your lungs

And so on, not to mention what it does to underage smokers.

And I get why it happens medically, and I'm not denying it [obviously]. But it's almost on par with those random creeks filled with brain eating amoebas. Like, if there is a god, why did they decide to design earth like that?

Tobacco IS shit for lungs. relative who smokes since he was 15 almost died of pulmonary disease, my dad is asmathic and it's terrible for him. Cigarettes and the tobacco industry are also shit for the environment. Let alone all the forest/house fires they initate. Even planes were throw down by smokers. And a lot of smokers are jerks, I hate the smell and sometimes I am walking and have to dodge the freaking smoke cloud (IT'S SO ANNOYING, IF YOU WANT TO F YOUR HEALTH DO NOT HARM EVERYONE ELSE'S), and it infuriates me when they throw the coils to the ground. Also, addiction sucks. A friend of my mom is broke af and can't stop buying them to save for food for her kid.
