Well Jacob has a good amount of money coming in from him reviewing these cigarettes so sure it’s probably not a waste of money for him, but I think he knows he’s being disingenuous. Everybody know smoking specifically cigarettes are one of the worst things a person can do. I used to say weed was my best friend and looking back that was probably like one of those best friends that were not such a great influence or even manipulative, if I’m personifying it.

[@JinnYoungKim]

It's a shame that cigarettes have tarnished all. Well I now quitted Marlboro Red and Camel Filters. I only smoke low tar and low nicotine due to extreme stress. Worst thing? Including drinking(Seldom I drink beer.) Smartphone addiction etc.

[@JakeBeatSa]

@@JinnYoungKim Yeah worst thing is pornography it will corrupt you. I was sadly exposed to this filth from a young age and I only kicked the habit along with weed last week. I'm already so much more confident in myself, I no longer feel guilty for doing those nasty things

[@JakeBeatSa]

And in case anyone out there is considering doing the same, you wont even know yourself. Give it a week and you will feel like a replenished person I swear

[@SkepticRaider]

"kinda thing" 🤣... I love this duo, they are both wholesome.

Can't wait until this guy starts to see the effects of premature aging. This hits smokers hard in their late 20s/early 30s.

Money doesn't mean a lot when you have irreversible skin damage. Looking older than your peers and older than people who have ten years on you. I bet that will be worth it, right?

[@Septicshites]

well im 21 and look 12 so idc ill take it

[@LoneWolfj11]

It's all a crutch, it's all a waste of money. Think about it this way. It's money you are straight dunking in the garbage. Money you will never see again. Something non-existent. You don't need it, its all mental and addicting. I am speaking from experience. I quit smoking cigs in January 2021 after 12+.years of smoking a pack every 2 days. Sometimes a pack a day. It's was even harder to quit than weed I would say. I was an emotional wreck the first month. (I even contemplated speaking to a therapist) I also quit smoking weed 2 weeks ago, and I feel in control of myself for once in my life. It's a crutch. Spend your money on something else. I rather actually spend my money on things that bring me true happiness. (art supplies, video games, dinner (juicy steaks mm). lol.

[@LoneWolfj11]

Ps. I completely agree. "we all agree, we enjoy it". If I based my life on this I'd never quit. I thought I never could, or would, or even wanted to quit. This is the lie I told myself. I enjoyed it and I could afford it. But, reality was it doesn't matter. It's a crutch, and I don't need it.

[@AddictionMindset]

Yeah it’s honestly not about the money. I could not agree more with you

[@dk_now91]

The problem is not only the money, the biggest problem is my health. I never breath like I do now, smoking was killing my slowly !

[@LoneWolfj11]

FACTS! Dude, I was getting heart pain and I am only 30 years old. I haven't had chest pain since I quit cigs. I recently quit weed too, I feel alive for once in my life.

[@JinnYoungKim]

Well I need to say that any junk food or beverage can also wreck health. Thus I only eat proper meal. Never drink or eat junk food except when I'm busy. Weed is for treatment. I never inhale my pipe and E pipe smoking.

[@LoneWolfj11]

@@JinnYoungKim Never been a junk food eater, even when chronically smoking. I cook daily, healthy foods. Mainly cause my husband had a heart attack at 24 when I first met him. I'm hispanic, we cook everyday!lmao

[@WanhanAjanMansikka]

Yes, I believe nicotine is a waste of money. But so is everything else. Eating out is a waste of money. Taxes are a waste of money, rent even. So while I don’t smoke anymore I don’t think cigarettes are more of a waste of money than anything else.

[@LoneWolfj11]

Subcriptions are not addicting. It's a waste of money sure, but it's not crippling like addiction can be.

[@AddictionMindset]

That’s very valid

[@Jjw338]

[@HansyPants184]

I enjoyed the light up but never actually enjoyed the cigarette after the first drag or two. So pretty on point with what you're describing. The addiction enjoyed the light up.

[@HansyPants184]

And I certainly don't miss the car windows being down in the winter after enjoying that light up 🥶

I grow weed and have worked in the cannabis industry, so it's complicated for me. My knowledge and relationship with cannabis has been financially beneficial to me. I still want to quit for health and relationship goals.

Fair enough I’m a 14 year old addict I do Xanax codine smoke weed all that I feel like I need to quit for my health I can’t remember weeks of my life it feels like my Brian is mush lmao honestly I need rehab

[@ryanwalsh2455]

In my humble opinion weed is nothing but depression fuel once it becomes a daily ritual.

[@landonmoore9765]

It’s definitely a waste of money. When I first started I loved it. I loved everything about vaping the buzz, the flavor, the looks, everything.And I didn’t want to quit but eventually you wont even be able to get buzzed and all that excitement goes away. Waste of money and time

[@mive5351]

Facts loosing your buzz is heart breaking :( and we are too addicted to wait at least 24 hours to get a tolerance break 💔😰

[@phendranaa]

I was curious what you thought of this one lol. I only realized nicotine was a waste of money after I quit. When the addiction faded away, so did my enjoyment of vaping and that attachment to the whole ritual. It was one thing to vape all day at home, but it felt like a chore to be withdrawing when spending time with people indoors and having to excuse myself every 30 mins to vape.

[@dgriffith7566]

"you know what I'm saying"

Oh he is so young! What a shame. I dread to think where this guy will end up 20, 30 or 40 years from now 😰 I wish him all the best tho 🙏🏻

[@AMNOTHUMANMC]

At first vaping was expensive but then I figured out a way to only spend like $25 a month for it so its good and not so good at the same time, however, when I quit smoking thc carts (which is about 22 days now) I've saved already potentially $200-$250 on which is great cause I get to invest more or just buy better food to eat XD

[@RandomVidzzz888]

Money enjoyed is never money wasted. However, me personally, both cigarettes and vapes are an enormous waste of money. Your lungs are precious and should not be take for granted. However, cigars and snus i don’t see as a complete waste of money (partly a waste tho)

[@neg5202]

I have a funny feeling he loves the phrase “you know what I’m sayn”

[@nicksparta9580]

Umm would a subscription to Netflix have you frequenting Emergency rooms even when you're agrs 25-30

[@phdplays9398]

Vaping is the biggest waste of money because all you get is a 20 min buzz that makes you feel sick. when I was vaping I was constantly vomiting so that's why I want to quit, I relapsed on vaping today and I have to start all over but hopefully, I never vape again.

[@JBMONROETHEPRODUCER]

Personal opinions have started to destroy the reality of things and facts smh.

[@kgcat]

Usually yeah, if you're enjoying something it's not a waste, but having a HOLE in your THROAT and needing an oxygen tank is going to cause some SEVERE regret. Apply that logic to anything, 'i know meth will hurt me in a few years but it's not hurting me right now and i enjoy it' Don't sabotage your old self, old you doesn't want to be stuck at home with an oxygen tank. Maybe he doesn't know anyone personally who lives that way. It's a sad thing to watch. You are 1000% right. We don't enjoy whatever it is we're doing directly, we're enjoying how that thing makes us feel, and you can definitely feel better without them.

[@melindalehmitz4740]

YES, they are but you do not realize it when you are smoking because most smokers do enjoy it but when you get to that point that you may be thinking about quitting it becomes less of a pleasure, most people have a house payment or rent and living paycheck to paycheck and when you realize depending on what state you live in, how much you spend a month on smokes, you kind of don't think it's a pleasure anymore my husband and I where both smoking smokers and just recently quit but together it was costing us about $500 a month, and sometimes there were times that we didn't even know we would make it through till the next paycheck.. but we always had smokes, what a crock of S#$t, no they are not worth it and absolutely a huge waste of money!!

[@ThemanlymanStan]

While I agree with you, it's a waste of money. I dont agree that it's only the dependence aspect that leads to enjoyment. The relief of mental and physical pain is absolutely a major factor in enjoyment. It isn't solely relief from withdrawal. I dont enjoy the soreness I feel after working out, being out of breath sweating, the pain of exercise itself, ect. @12:42 To actually exercise you have to enjoy it despite the uncomfortable aspects. Everything you do is pros and cons.

[@memegamermike4131]

This guy is like addicted to nicotine kinda thing

[@ll2058]

Oh gosh. The mental gymnastics going on here to justify the habit is so cringey. It reminds me of myself telling people I love vaping after coming home from the gym and work and that I just like to do it at home by myself, trying to make it sound like it's not a big deal. I left the part out where I turned into a panicky monster if my vape died, had it in my hand literally all the time, even in the bathroom, vaped anyway even though the hot juice spit on my teeth causing pain, vaped through a 120 ml bottles even though some flavors were really bad and I didn't want that money to go to waste.

[@lenakorz1992]

I quit vaping 35 days ago and have saved $340 so far. I didn’t quit because of the money, but I really enjoy that extra cash! 😁

[@djalive1001]

It all depends on the person if its a waste of money for them. Even if i was rich it would be a waste for me . With how much jacob enjoys smoking im sure it is worth it for him

[@elemental3066]

everyone enjoys something in this life man, literally or whats the point?, everyone has their fav food, drink, activity, a joy that has withdrawal symptoms, cigarettes, tits, making money, spending money, laughing with friends, all joys of life, at some point being obsessive with addiction is justifying your own weakness, is a you problem

[@TheRugghead]

Now that I've quit, I'm an wall street investor! Now I'll have extra $$$ AND extra years.

[@davidholliday4622]

It's a waste of money for the health service and hospitals who have to deal with the dying and sick from smoking. I would love to see this Jacob in 20 years lighting up a cigarette looking so pretty. But I can look at him now and I see one very insecure person. Madness to actually promote smoking.

[@farmone1262]

Something that brings you genuine joy is not a waste of money. However, nicotine only brings joy 1% of the time you use it 99% of the time it brings low energy and need and destroys everything you have around you.

[@maheklaul8622]

as an addict, to me it’s a waste of money because i dont Want to be addicted. it’s a fleeting source of dopamine, and even if i spent the $10 on something like food that may be eaten faster than the vape would run out, at least the food would somewhat nourish my body and is arguably needed for survival. actually at no point in my addiction did i think a vape was worth the money, i just lack self control (getting better but i fall back a lot)

[@coill.]

I would say it is and isn't a waste, it is in the same sense as like mcdonalds you could not eat mcdonalds but you like it so you do. If you enjoy doing somthing then the money spent on it isn't wasted, but used. Sorta like a hobby I guess.

[@DavisMultiverse]

Jacob has a unique opportunity to turn himself around and in the process help more people understand, just as you do in this excellent video. When I used to smoke I found it harder to focus and get words out even just from the sheer frustration.

About the subscription topic… it’s not necessarily a waste of money because you can cancel anytime if you stop using it. Whereas with smoking cigarettes, it’s not always easy to just cancel/quit and by the time you’re ready and want to quit, it’s usually too late and your health is already compromised.

[@MrSteph58]

That’s a sad way to make money, using yourself as a tobacco Guinea pig. As far as enjoying it, he didn’t enjoy it naturally, his first time smoking wasn’t enjoyable. Smoking isn’t like giving a lollipop to a child and they love it instantly. He had to put up with his body rejecting the cigarettes and coughing for a while before he could begin to enjoy it. Naturally the more addicted he becomes the more he will enjoy it, like heroin, the enjoyment becomes more about feeling normal.

[@paulmcnamara2184]

"he enjoys smoking because of the feeling of relief...is nothing more than fighting off the withdrawal symptoms." Kinda like the pleasure of eating is just the relief of hunger - so it's not really pleasure at all right? Or like the feeling of being in love is just a chemical reaction in your brain - so it's not really real right? The way people feel at liberty to dehumanize tobacco and nicotine users, to ignore and dismiss their voice and experience, to write it off with some sciencey mumbo jumbo just shows how successful tobacco control have been in stigmatizing tobacco users. Oh, and talking about 'brainwashing' Tobacco Control is a global, billion dollar industry funded by taxpayers and billionaires.
