Hello, /fit/,

So I've never smoked a cigarette before. I don't intend to become a smoker, but recently I've been feeling a bit ignorant for not having ever smoked. I find it hard to criticize smokers without ever having experienced it before.

So, my question is, do you think it's wise for be to smoke one cigarette, just to try it out? Just one?
>> Sabby !!J9oxJsHtaZJ
One is safe. On super special occasions, when I see my friend who lives super far away, I smoke (pot and cigarettes) with her while I NEVER do it at home.
One won't get you addicted. Trust me.

just one can't hurt you. try a marlboro light if you're really worried.

Hell I've smoked plenty of times, but each time was at least a few weeks apart. Only one won't do shit, nor will one every now and then for that matter.

Warning though: for the most part, the worst thing about cigs is that they taste like SHIT(unless you get good ones).

You can get cancer from one puff. I'm in the same position as OP, but I turned down a Marlboro light today.

Smoking is nasty, but if you really want to try it, go for it, I'm sure a puff or two isn't going to give you instacancer.

i liev with lots of smokers, my suggestion; walk outside and stand next to someone who is smoking or if you live somewhere where smoking isn't banned indoors, go to a bar and take a puff of the air cause second hand is much worse than actually smoking...
>> fashion diva !3wJfpCMhKc
smking one cigarette makes no sense. You are just going to choke like crazy and your lungs are going to hurt and you're going to get dizzy. I'm not sure if you think that is the experience of smoking cigarettes, but it isn't. It's closer to the experience of suffocating. If you actually wnat to know what being a smoker is like, you have to do it enough so that you don't feel super lightheaded after every puff.

tl;dr - don't do it; it will not be pleasant and you won't get anything out of it except for a misunderstanding of what smoking is like and a light head. Also you might vomit

So what exactly are poeples reasoning for smoking? If it tastes bad and makes you sick and makes you feel like you can't breath, why do it?

well, tobacco does have one advantage: I can't think of any other legal drug that can wake you up when you're tired or relax you when you're stressed, all depending on your state of mind. on the other hand, it's addictive and will eventually kill you, so I'd hardly call it a wonder drug.

First time I ever smoked a cigarette
It was valentines day, a friend gave me a cigarette, so I could blow the smoke into this girl's face.
It was the perfect valentines day.
But cigarettes taste like shit.
>> stalin !uckpApAsQc
I have only smoked a few times, and my advice is not to smoke menthols, they are horrible

Regular cigarettes aren't too horrible, neither are strawberry cigarellos.

If you want a memorable experience however, smoke a pipe with a very smooth light blend of tobacco, that is the greatest.

One smoke won't hurt, just don't do it often or you will get addicted.

Cigarettes definitely relax the shit out of you.
I love having one on a sunny day with some
blue oyster cult blasting and my windows down
on the 91.

Just try it. I honestly can see how it's addicting.
But to me it's just not worth it.

Actually the first cigarette you complete is going to be uncomfortable. It is unnatural for your body to voluntarily inhale smoke.

After you get to the point without coughing you can then appreciate the cigarette. Try to get through a pack of marlboro Reds in a week and then decide what smoking is about.

Used to smoke a pack a day of Marlboro Reds. Don't start. It's totally stupid. If you're not addicted, it'll make you feel light-headed. If you are addicted, it'll still make you feel like shit but stave off withdrawal. It saps your energy and makes you unable to go up a flight or stairs or walk to work without being pathetically out of breath.

And quitting is the hardest thing I've ever done. Say hello to 20 pounds of weight, and a damaged cardiovascular system. You go through horrendous withdrawal, finally get over it, then have to lose a bunch of weight, except you're starting from even worse than being an inactive couch potato.

Oh, it'll also make getting erections significantly harder than if you hadn't smoked. Now that I'm in good cardio health, my dick gets way bigger and way harder.

You don't want to be a limp-dicked nancy boy, do you? Because that's what smoking will make you.

i dont feel like reading the thread:
there's nothing appealing about cigarettes other than the feeling you get after you get nicotine in your system. its gross you'll cough a lot the first few times because of that smoke in your lungs and windpipe feeling. it makes you smell like smoke, your lips all brown and breath stink. there's some cigs that smell nice but smoke's still smoke.
>> Anonymous
It's not worth it, OP. I tried to smoke just once last year and actually inhale, and I was shaking and felt like shit for about six hours. I felt nauseous but didn't actually puke. I know other people who have puked after their first cigarettes, though.

If you do go ahead and try it, make sure you do it outside so your house/room doesn't end up smelling like stale smoke for hours on end.

Oh, I don't smoke though. Except cigars. Maybe one a month. Thinking about a pipe, maybe.

I have smoked a single cig. Was at the pub and talking to smokin hottie who, point infact, asked me to come outside for a smoke. So I did. Actually ended up dating her for a while, and when she found out that I actually didnt smoke, she attempted to quit smoking while we were dating. Dunno if she picked the habit back up.

Point is that its a disgusting habit. The girl mentioned above only smoked 'socially'...so she didnt have the stink of a smoker. I have dated a hardcore smoker before and it was horrible. Took the joy out of swapping spit since it tasted like i was making out with a tailpipe of a car.

But do you really want to go through life with regrets of trying something? I say try it. Just dont get hooked

Do you want to get addicted ? 1 will lead to more.

It is a shit feeling in life to always want something. I have quit smoking a long time ago but at least 1nce a day I will think " could rly do with a cig " , i wish i could go back in time and not know what smoking is like

I smoked two cigarettes at a party when I was a dumb 12-year old, and wasn't even able to inhale.

Chances are you could smoke one and not get addicted, but the question is whether it'd really be worth it. There's so much scientific evidence of how harmful smoking is; what all would you learn from it?

>> Guil

When I "started" smoking I'd suck in air along with smoke to lessen the impact, after a while I didn't need to

I did this for near a month, only because I had roomates who were BFF4EVER before that so we hung out a lot.. and since they smoked it was easy for me to pick it up because they wanted company outside or something when they did it

But even after a month and I moved to my own place I didn't have an issue and never bought them

i still do that, but a lot of people just like suck it in, it never goes down their lungs, then they blow that out, like a LOT and then they rant shit about smoking, "oh i've smoked its stupid it doesn't do anything etc"
not that im defending it, its a bad habbit and bad for you,
but nicotine does feel good when it gets in your system, too bad it kills you and is addictive as hell

Oh shit, is this true?
I want a fucking sauce on that.

Like many of my anons, I treat cigarettes like I treat alcohol. I'll have a cigarette occasionally (by occasionally, I mean about once every 2-3 months, if even that) amongst company (I've never actually purchased cigarettes). Smoking is very relaxing, but it deinfitely makes your throat and lungs feel shitty, and I can see the potential for addiction. But, one every once in awhile can't hurt too much.

I smoked back in high school. WORST WASTE OF MONEY EVER. All it does is make you a bit light-headed, and that feeling gets less after each one. So I quit after smoking about three packs over the course of a few weeks. Now I stay away from any drugs.

no, you'll gag on your first cig. And yeah, they are pretty damn nasty--I've been smoking hookah for a long time now, that's a lot better and I suggest that you try it if you're only wanting a taste of nicotine. It's far less harsh, and you can bring some friends!

You won't know what smoking is like after one cigarette. You won't know what it's like after a hundred either. After some months, you start to grow a bit of a tolerance, which is when you get to the point that you know what smoking feels to 99% of smokers. Which is, it doesn't really feel like much of anything most of the time. My advice; why even bother?

Are you trolling or are you just that fucking stupid? He means that once you get addicted, you don't feel any sense of euphoria from cigarettes. After you get to the point where you've been smoking at least half a pack a day for 3 months, the only feeling a cigarette gives you is making the withdraw go away and making you feel normal again. Plus, your lungs are fucked up so you don't even feel the smoke go down. And your taste buds are so fucked up you don't taste the smoke. Trust me, I used to smoke a pack a day.

And another one of you stupid fucking faggots was like "LOL SAUCE???" on my claim that smoking gives you amazingly weaker erections. This is EXTREMELY WELL DOCUMENTED. Google, "smoking and erections." Was that so fucking hard?
