Default smoking

Is there any way smoking tobbacco can be safe? Like if you only smoke one a day. Is there a certain amount you can smoke and not take too many years off your life, because I care about my health but still enjoy the occasional cig.

I don't know but i believe that just socially smoking every now and then won't do em much health, i think if you have one a day every day it will harm you maybe exchange it for a cigar on the weekends.

i smoke a light, relatively clean tobacco. fresh tobacco is no where near as bad for you as cigarettes. it also tastes a fuck tonne better and is more pleasant to smoke. switch to a decent tobacco(not drum or any other shit from the shelf below the sovereign and mayfair, go to a tobacconist, if they're anything in the US like they are here, they'll help you find something you like) and you'll never look back, smoking a real cigarette will just feel like smoking a black man's ass.

yeahhh, it's bad for you in any quantity, but the less you smoke, the less harm it's doing. and switch to rollies anyway

I usually smoke hand rolled to save on money. But I thought unflitered was a lot worse for you.

Hand rolled tobacco doesn't have all those shitty chemicals the companies put in, but it has more tar than filtered cigarettes.

Default Re: smoking

I used to smoke about 2 cigs a day for a year and a half. My endurance while working out went down. I couldn't run a mile without wanting to catch my breath every 30 seconds.

I quit cold turkey and have been a lot better off. Just from that I know that even a little can have a significant affect, specially for someone that wants to keep his/her endurance and conditioning levels up.

But, everyone's different.

I have nothing against smokers. I myself bum one off people every once in a while (once, twice a month).

You want the nicotine rush? Go for smokeless.

Pick yourself up a can of dip or a pouch of chaw. At least this way you're going to save your lungs the pain of inhaling all that shit.

I say just quit. Don't bother switching the type of tobacco. It's all quite unhealthy.

Yeah, but you'll fuck up your face a lot faster than you would fuck up your lungs. There's a certain age for each person that you can stop smoking at and your body will heal itself and you'll be fine. However no one knows what age that is. But yeah just smoke occasionaly.
