Just as an occasional thing to have a pack in the car to light up after work as a once a day thing... It's your choice but for the benefit of your own health, there's really no point in smoking. Before you know it, one cig turns in to one pack, a pack turns in to two packs, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Never smoked anything. Just never seen the appeal. My old man does use the vapes and I don't mind them really. Not sure if they work out cheaper than cigarettes or not or whether they're that much healthier, but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It works out a lot cheaper than smoking cigarettes even if you smoke cheap brands of tobacco. I stopped smoking cigarettes for two years by using the vaping method and the mod I had definitely gave you the smoking kick in your throat. Obviously vaping doesn’t feel exactly the same as smoking, but you feel so much healthier and frankly vetter when you switch. I’m planning to return to vaping in the new year. Got myself a wicked mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I smoke but dont vape i dont believe smoking something you have to charge is better for your health, you are basically smoking electricity I recently watched the new Kevin bridges tour were he's talking about vaping, its hilarious.

I'm not saying go eat germs. But worth questioning whether to avoid everything that is alleged to be harmful long term as it ends up leaving you bereft of most things you might enjoy. I think we're a bit over-read now and would do better to be a bit more impulsive and instinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If milk causes cancer i guess I'm fucked. But I'm not gonna go rearrange my life based on what might happen by the time I'm 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got myself a wicked mod. Not for me, as I only pay £10 for a 50 gram of amber leaf and that lasts over a week. I suppose I'm lucky though as my Nan goes to Spain 3 times a year, brings it back and sells me it at the exact same price as she pays for it. But even then, most people are selling it at about 13 quid a pouch these days and it saves money. Smoking isn't really an expensive habit at all if you're wise about it. Just don't buy from shops in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're a bit over-read now and would do better to be a bit more impulsive and instinctive. Have you ever smoked (regularly)? I get your point about too much scaremongering and as for cancer, we're exposed to carcinogens almost everywhere and a lot of it depends on how well one did at the genetic lottery; but cancer risk is not even the worst thing about smoking to be fair. It fucks up your respiratory and cardiovascular system and you're definitely going to notice it in just a few years if you smoke significant amount of tobacco regularly. Now don't get me wrong, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore but I don't have anything against those who do; after all we all choose our poison and I personally still enjoy a nice cigar or cigarillo every once in a while. It's just your reasoning of starting smoking (some sort of a rebellion against society) that really doesn't make any sense to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I haven't smoked a cigarette since i was 15. I just want to be able to do something that i want to do even if its bad for me. I'd need to hide it from my wife so I'd never get beyond that 1 little rollee on the way home from work to de-stress. Would not become a pack a day etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNORTHODOX Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 With cigarette prices going up rapidly its probably wise to start using them more often i have had a few of them before but they are very fragile and seem to break on me after a couple of weeks. Cig prices have gone up a lot in the last couple of years when they stopped selling packets of 10 in the UK. I smoke JPS Players which are £8.60 for a 20 pack.

Haha good point. I remember it was easy to hide as a teenager since my parents smoked as well, but I believe anyone who doesn't smoke will just smell it a mile away haha. Orange is very helpful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i heard they were really expensive in Australia, That is a crazy amount to pay for one pack. I guess they are determined to stop peoole smoking over there.

Dr. Gonzo Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I don’t like vaping, but it’s kept me off cigarettes so there’s that. I’m trying to vape less, but I’m so thoroughly addicted to nicotine. For weed I prefer actually smoking or doing dabs to vaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re around $15USD here, I didn’t bring my vape to England last month when I was back home so I had a pack that I tried (unsuccessfully) to last the whole way. And they were more expensive than I remember them being the last time I was home. Probably for the best though, I was smoking far too much.
