why anyone would smoke cigarettes when weed exists is beyond me but ok.
Different receptors. Also, cigarettes are way more addictive.
Edit: Did I get pushback for stating that cigarettes are highly addictive?
Weed turns me into a lazy paranoid dumbass. Sometimes I just want to smoke something and not feel like that.
cigarettes are horrible though, have you tried that hot new trend of using pacifiers?
im using nicotine pacifiers rn, thanks for the suggestion!
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 take drugs for stress relief when sports exist is beyond me but ok.
why anyone would use sports for stress relief when art exists is beyond me but ok.
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.

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

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...
I still hope every cigarette company and the CEOs die. Preferably by lung cancer.

Just suck a cock.
Guaranteed productivity boost, and company loyalty would skyrocket.
Or tits, heck even a pussy. Or i dunno... A fucking lolipop (-_-)
Want to downvote for censor the word fucking at the same time laughed.
It's censored because censoring it is an automatic 4 comments of free engagement to boost you in the algorithms of various platforms.
Downvote it and then upvote the uncensored one in the comments.
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.
I would assume they're rolling or really like to rave.
Or you could just chew gum, that's always an option
Isn't gum really bad for the environment? Like the rubber part decomposes but the plastic part just doesn't? Not saying pacifiers aren't plastic and rubber, but they're reusable at least
Where did you get the idea that chewing gum is made out of rubber and plastic? 🤔
Edit: Thanks all, I had no idea!
Everything is made from rubber and plastic now. Bread? Plastic. Meat? Rubber. Vegetables? Plastic. Milk? Rubber. Chewing gum looks like rubber, but is actually plastic.
It is plastic, though. The exact formulas tend to be proprietary, but they use a plastic rather than a natural gum base unless explicitly stated otherwise on the packaging. Even a lot of the 'natural' brands still use a plastic base.
A podcast years ago. A cursory search confirms that modern chewing gum has a "gum base" that contains food safe plastic polymer. Old school ones are made from gum from trees, but that hasn't been economically viable for like a century.
Most of it will decompose but other parts either gets buried in a landfill or gets burned where the smoke goes into the sky and turns into stars.

I prefer sucking on tits
I'm not picky, most any body part will be fine for my oral fixation. Tits certainly a favorite tho
something something rave culture
Recession indicator
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.

Pish just suck off you SO like an adult!
