Cigarette companies losing profits?

Let people have a relatively less problematic stress relief than cancer risk increasing smoke, right?
Tho, not sure about micro plastic content n all.

I think doing it a lot can damage your teeth as well. But yeah, better than smoking. Not sure it satisfies nicotine addiction tho...

why anyone would smoke cigarettes when weed exists is beyond me but ok.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Different receptors. Also, cigarettes are way more addictive.

Edit: Did I get pushback for stating that cigarettes are highly addictive?

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Weed turns me into a lazy paranoid dumbass. Sometimes I just want to smoke something and not feel like that.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

have you tried that hot new trend of using pacifiers?

[–] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

im using nicotine pacifiers rn, thanks for the suggestion!

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

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

why anyone would smoke is beyond me but ok.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

why anyone would take drugs for stress relief when sports exist is beyond me but ok.

[–] BoosBeau@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

why anyone would use sports for stress relief when art exists is beyond me but ok.

[–] Nora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] opih8ed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] opih8ed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Because cigarettes are addictive? People start in a weak moment and fail to stop. It's not a rational decision.

Por que no los dos?

don't listen my European ass tho

spoilerWhy anyone would smoke a spliff of sticky bud without baccy, or why would anyone smoke a spliff when a bong or pipe is available

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just suck a cock.

Guaranteed productivity boost, and company loyalty would skyrocket.

[–] aguasemgas@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 week ago

Or tits, heck even a pussy. Or i dunno... A fucking lolipop (-_-)

something something rave culture

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Want to downvote for censor the word fucking at the same time laughed.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

It's censored because censoring it is an automatic 4 comments of free engagement to boost you in the algorithms of various platforms.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Downvote it and then upvote the uncensored one in the comments.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Or you could just chew gum, that's always an option

I'm not picky, most any body part will be fine for my oral fixation. Tits certainly a favorite tho

[–] shrek_is_love@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm getting really tired of this kind of doomerism. Look, just because a tariff-loving, bigoted republican president is inflating securities markets wildly beyond their historical maximum book values by orders of magnitude in the context of sharply rising unemployment and homelessness, doesn't mean we're revisiting 1930s economic conditions. So I don't want to hear anymore about removed-environmental-protections this, and exponentially-increasing-environmental-disasters that. Just nut up, ignore the once-in-a generation, escalating geopolitical tensions, and go persecute some minorities just like Jesus Washington said to do in the Bible Constitution.

-Newsmax probably

[–] Athena5898@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eh, I honestly wouldnt care if I saw this in public. As long as something someone does isn't a pain to others, non of my business.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I would assume they're rolling or really like to rave.

Weird to see a minor rave culture fad return after all this time.
