The Tobacco Thread: Bitches Leave

[Himu]

Anyone have any alternatives to smoking cigs? I have started smoking recently due to stress and while I'm not addicted yet, I really like smoking them. The actual act of smoking them is both fun and relaxing and it helps me get out of my nerve wracked head and chill a bit. Not to mention, I really like the nicotine high.

I really like smoking but at the same time I don't want to get caught up in it. Are there any good alternatives for that oral fixation and contemplative relaxation? I guess cigars would suffice?

I'd like to finish off this pack of American Spirits that are growing on me and have these clove cigars for special times.

Suckin' dicks.

[huckleberry]

you should throw away the pack of cigs that you have (cloves too, you cigarillo) and never touch them again.....there is absolutely no redeeming qualities to smoking. 

Not trying to preach to you duder....i smoke 1.5 packs a day.

Suckin' dicks.

[Himu]

cloves hater?

[huckleberry]

cloves are the most distinguished mentally-challenged shit on earth...you might as well smoke black n milds and save your money.

[Himu]

I'm not addicted now, but I figured I could save them for special occasions. Nothing wrong with a smoke now and then, right? But that's probably rationalizing keeping my pack I guess.

[EmCeeGrammar]

What I'm doing right now is smoking half a black and mild in the morning and one after work.  Its cheaper and removes some of the guilt that goes along with smoking a pack every three days.  However I did manage to quit for a few months.  This required-

being broke- no buying cigs
nasty head cold- not wanting to smoke

for a whole week.  After the cold subsided I was able to quit easily.  Now, your smoking may be tied to an oral fixation.  I don't recommend nicotine gum or anything like that because really, its gross and never made me want to not just go back to cigs.  Regular gum can help with an oral fixation.

Suckin' dicks.

This make up plenty for that horrible warts joke in the Kosma thread.

[Himu]

Gum doesn't help me with stress the way a good smoke does. I've never been big on candy, so I'm not much of a gum user, I just eat mints or something for breath.

[huckleberry]

jeezus Himu didn't your mom tell you to stay away from cigarettes?  There is no such thing as enjoying them once you are addicted - it's a need.

[Himu]

Well, smoking has been all around my family. So while, I always heard the anti-cigs pep talks, I'd always see my dad, grandpa, uncles, aunts and cousins smoking.

[drew]

what color of american spirits did you get? great choice, i won't smoke anything else anymore.

and no there are no replacements for smoking a beautiful fucking cigarette, to imply that there might be one is an insult to the habit

[Himu]

Orange, nicca.

[EmCeeGrammar]

jeezus Himu didn't your mom tell you to stay away from cigarettes?  There is no such thing as enjoying them once you are addicted - it's a need.

I wouldn't go that far.  there is no tangible benefit of course, but there is something soothing about them, no one would do it in the first place otherwise.

[drew]

those are either lights or extra lights, in case you didn't know

there's a full run down on wikipedia of all the different kinds

[Himu]

I thought blue and yellow were lights

[lordmaji]

could smoke pot.

[Himu]

I don't like smoking pot anymore. Horrible highs.

[Brehvolution]

I don't like smoking pot anymore. Horrible highs.

Quit buying dimes from the Jamaicans. 

[Mupepe]

drink beer instead boo boo!

[Himu]

Suckin' dicks.

going to a gay club tomorrow night cruising for cock so nice suggestion 

[drew]

I thought blue and yellow were lights

the light blues are regular filtered and the dark blues are US grown regulars

the yellows are lights but as it turns out the oranges are actually ultra lights

The Continuing Adventures of Himuro's Bad Decisions....

You've never smoked a cigarette before?

[Himu]

I've never had snuff but it doesn't seem too appealing.

[Dickie Dee]

Think that's chew not snuff (?) Tried chew once and my mouth burned all night, don't bother.

I actually understand smoking, despite them being death sticks, it'd be nice to just step outside and have a break from life every once in a while, while still having a purpose for your fidgety hands. Appart from the obvious nicotine addiction which you seem to be in denial about, finding a replacement for the former is going to be the real bitch.

[Himu]

I'm not addicted, though. At least not yet. Before buying these packs, I was only a social smoker. Smoking every now and then at a social event. Right now, I've only smoked two cloves and two American Spirits out of the course of one week. I'd hardly say that's addiction, especially since I haven't smoked since yesterday and have yet to go through withdrawals today.

That said, yeah, I've always enjoyed the actual ritual of smoking ever since my first joint. It looks cool, it feels good, it feels so natural, and it eases me from the pain that is life for a few minutes. It's a nice reliever, and I enjoy the taste and smell (depending on what I'm smoking). If smoking were considerably less harmful to you, wasn't addictive and ALWAYS produced that nicotine high...omg. But that's not reality, unfortunately.

So I'm going to finish off this pack of American Spirits first. It will be my first and final pack.

If I'm inclined to smoke in the future I'll stick to cigars and keep cigs as a social thing.

Me?  Not a one.

[Himu]

That's nice.

[Himu]

I don't understand chain smoking either, but hey what do I know? I'm not addicted and I get high every time I have a smoke, even the ultra lights make me feel soooo good.

How many of your friends smoke, Yazeed? Almost all of my circle smokes. I never felt pressured or anything though. Sometimes I'll just ask for a smoke at a concert or something.

[FatalT]

Sounds like it's too late to offer alternatives. You're already too far gone.

Go away and buy an entire carton and go through all the packs in there in one day. The next day's lung problems and coughing/wheezing/hacking should make you stop.

[Himu]

Haha, how long was the buzz?

[Himu]

70 minutes? Haha, no way. From tobacco? That's longer than the typical joint high.

[brob]

double bagging snus right now

Won't give you cancer or asthma, but the shit will erode your gums. so, you know... It ain't healthy. but awesome things rarely are.

[Rman]

Good two shoes answer to your question: Exercise.

[brob]

Yeah, all convince stores, petrol stations, etc have wide selection of snus. shit costs money though! paid 15 bucks for a box just now. If I do a 2 hour trek to sweden I could get one for less than half.

Good two shoes answer to your question: Exercise.

This. Drink some tea. Try yoga. Go on a peaceful walk. There are good ways to relieve stress that don't fuck up your lungs or mouth/teeth, both of which lead to higher health bills eventually=more stress.

Smoking is disgusting.

[Eel O'Brian]

you could try those e-cigarettes

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Cock?

I heard that pole is a dish best served smoked.

[Akala]

I tried snus but couldn't get into it. too cheap to buy a good electronic one.

gonna give an epic cold turkey try after Vegas...it would be stupid to quit before then.

that is just silly, quitting smoking really isn't that hard, if you want a replacement while you're quitting chew some green eclipse.  my advice is just not to quit, there's nothing wrong with turning into an occasional smoker

This. Drink some tea. Try yoga. Go on a peaceful walk. Suck some dicks.

fixed. wtf is going on with the black contingent on this board, all of them are going fag, it's some twilight zone shit

[Trent Dole]

Wank. Always feel good after a wank. Then a few minutes later I take a piss and then take a nap.

[T234]

I don't like smoking pot anymore. Horrible highs.

Quit buying dimes from the Jamaicans. 

In my experience Jamaicans are the best people to buy dope off of!

[Groogrux]

Quit while you have the chance.  I smoked for over 6 years and finally stopped this past October.  You may not feel bad now, but give it time.

And for god's sake, don't pick up those electronic cigarettes.  Horrible fucking things full of god-knows-what that should have been made illegal by now.

[Brehvolution]

I honeymooned in Jamaica  for 10 days and the weed was shit.  

It was such a let down for my wife and I thinking we were going to weed paradise.

[The Sceneman]

I had plenty of cigarettes tonight, they were pretty awesome

[Mr. Gundam]

This. Just make sure it's craft beer or I WILL KILL YOU.

[Himu]

Anyone specific brand of snuss I should try out?

Wrath, have you ever jacked off on a snuss high?

[Brehvolution]

Be careful with snus. It has much more nicotine than cigs.

[brob]

general and skruf are good brands of snus. snus can be bought in portion bags (you want this) or loose weight. the latter you have to compress and package into small balls yourself and if you do a poor job it dissolves and you have a coarse powder all up in your mouf.

and yeah, 3,2 - 8,3 mg nicotine.

[bud]

I have started smoking recently due to stress

this is one of the funniest things i've read on eb

[bud]

like, i'm totally seeing himu walking in the park one day, all stressed out and shit

the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the birds are chirping, lovers are making love; it's a beautiful day

but himu can't enjoy any of that because he's stressed, obviously

so he looks up and says: ''... i need a smoke''

this is seriously making me laugh out loud. himu, i love you.

[Himu]

Anyone specific brand of snuss I should try out?

Wrath, have you ever jacked off on a snuss high?

Yes.

How was it?

[EmCeeGrammar]

Alternative to smoking-- willpower.

pfft, no such thing.  Although it would be nice yes.
