[@MrAsetgraffiti]

damian Babiec sure. A period of sadness or depression is enough to get you to smoking, like myself. But it’s just something you already have in mind to do, needing the “right” push perhaps. This period is well past me though, and thus I should have quited smoking, which I apparently did for a period of time. Yet I craved for it. And I reached to a conclusion that I should have reached from my first puff: it just feels good smoking. Anything else is just an excuse to soften and salvage your guilt for this weird and long term health damaging habit of yours, some lie to keep you in the smoking game a little bit longer.

Does anybody else remember candy cigarettes when they used to come in the little packs with the actual brand name of the different cigarettes on them, like Marlboro, Winston, etc.? And the tip of one end was red to imitate the lit end of a cigarette? I was born in 1970 & vividly remember getting them from the local country store. My kids found them at a local store recently but they of course no longer come in a box advertised as candy cigarettes & they don't have one red end, they're just solid white but still taste the same.

@@shaiyanmhamud7224 A lot of people do START to be cool in a sense. Whether because they're peer pressured or just think it looks cool, or to counter someone who's lame who doesn't smoke, or to fit in with a group you're trying to get into where the majority/all smoke. All of these are in one way or another "to look cool". But people have other reasons too. My mom started because smokers were allowed 15 minutes breaks every few hours and she wasn't and she was like nuh-uh. XD Thankfully she stopped and I barely remember her with a cigarette.

[@mateusalves9436]

TBH i started smoking because i wanted to look as cool as Bogart, and as smart as Camus. I've quit since then (cigarrete free for a year and a couple of months) but i smoked for some good 4 years before fully understanding the health and financial damage, and that there is no such thing as "social smoking" once you're an addict. And to be completely honest if i werent burning a ridiculous amount of money and killing myself, i would smoke 50 packs a day.

I remember being like 11-12 years old,seeing on the top of a kiosk a marlboro ad-poster with a couple of cowboys chilling in the nature,smoking marlboro.Damn,the colors,the feeling of being free amongst friends in the nature having a cigarette was so powerful.Now I can relate to this videos.

[@aienbalosaienbalos4186]

@@deemah3602 what do you mean with “affect the neural system”? It is very well known that sugar triggers the release of dopamine. This is probably why it is so addictive. Does this count as affecting the neural system enough to meet your criteria? Regardless it is addictive and causes harm ( it causes harm in the amount we take it, but that is true for all things that cause harm, it shouldn’t be necessary to say it). That to me are the essential characteristics of drugs. Technically drug might mean a substance that provoques a biological response, so it is more like a way of manipulating someone’s body. It doesn’t have to be bad, or cause harm or be addictive. In that sense, all medicine would be drugs. I do not know the technical definition of drug. But what people mean when they say drug is something that is harmful and addictive. If you say you give your kids drugs when they are sick you will end up explaining yourself to the cops or a social worker quick, even though technically that might be something that everyone does. Drugs simply no longer means medicine in common use. Anyway, because I don’t know what drug means, I didn’t say sugar is a drug. I said addiction, to avoid confusion. And yet confusion found me 😅
