Lol @ all the anti smokers, you people are so wrong.
Its is possible to enjoy the act of smoking. When we are talking about enjoying the feeling of smoking, we're talking about the physical sensation of inhaling and exhaling the smoke. Nicotine doesn't cause physical sensations. I often smoke to to pass time, I'm in not need of a fag, but it gives me something physical to do.
Also spurting off about health risks does not bother us, if it did, we wouldn't smoke.

What you don't realize is that you miss all that because the nicotine has become associated to it. Your brain gives you a virtual nicotine effect from just putting the cigarette in your hand, without any exposure to nicotine. So your body will crave holding it and flicking the ash. (You crave $12.50 a pack.:angry
And more than just the nicotine does that. Take your pick out of about 4,000 chemical agents. Besides DNA damage which could lead to cancer, smoking permanently alters genes that affect all kinds of processes, turns them off or on, and qutting smoking doesn't seem to change them back.

i have a friend that has quit almost a year ago. she started smoking a month ago, it's disappointing.
The problem with people like ill-matic is that they assume they need cigarettes to calm them down. I smoked my fair share and quit about 2-3 weeks ago, but I never lit up a cigarette to calm down. Maybe that's why when I'm stressed now, I don't get the urge to light one up. I'm happy about that. However, the urge comes to me when I'm rather hungry, when I have coffee, and when I drink.
But, I fully agree with Tommy and Jokerman.

See I don't doubt that you enjoy it, but I keep sayin that it's an effect of nicotine, like jokerman said.... it makes you feel somehow good or reliefed.... if you deny the effect of the smoke on your system, you'r lyin 2 yourself. It's biology, simple as that. See like I said, even I blow one up ever now and then, I do understand what you describe, but it's not only a habit like that.

i can't understand why people start smoking. actually i know why most people do it, most people do it to do it socially. but then nicotine kicks in and the person is done. my mother was able to quit for 4 years and then started back. it seems like people's body can't forget the nicotine no matter what. it sucks. nicotine is a very sneaky drug. people will always say how they miss smoking it for smoking it, but at the end of the day, it's all about the nicotine.
i can't understand why smoke nicotine when it doesn't give you any effect per se. weed gets you high, nicotine gives you nothing, it actually takes away your independancy of it.
all this to say, i miss the weed.

Youve never been a drug user have you?
I know dudes that prefer to shoot a particular drug because they just enjoy the social aspect of it more.
I havent smoked in two months, the nicotine is no longer in my system, thus my wanting to smoke is not a chemical reaction, its purely mental and has nothing to do with the drug nicotine.
For the record, I do miss the act of chopping lines, rolling a bill, or snorting it off a girl nipple or navel. I miss that, and I havent done coke in ages, it has nothing to do with the drug, I just had fun DOING it.

Sweet. Heres hoping that it switches some bad genes off then. No body ever looks it from that point of view do they?
^lol i smoke about 3 packs of cigs a week. i quit once for a few months and went right back. however, i basically only get the urge to smoke when i'm drinking. if i don't drink, i'll have like maybe one cigarette in the evening. i never understood how people could have a smoke in the morning. i find that disgusting. but yeah, i need to quit soon. i'm paranoid i'm gonna get cancer.
No, it can’t be said about anything because nothing else is as potent a neurotoxin as nicotine. You can't compare doing something that is fun and whatever brain and body effects it produces, with the over-the-top psychoactive stimulation of nicotine. It's so potent that it brainwashes users--as we can all see with your post--into intellectually trying to defend it's use with paper-thin arguments so glaringly false that a three-year-old would be embarrassed to walk down the street and shit in his pants with nothing but... (ok I'm playing now
But you know it does seem like addictive stuff blocks otherwise smart people's intellectual abilities when they come to think about their use of such stuff. It's like built-in insurance to keep one addicted. A blind spot. Religious belief has the same effect.
