Smoking cigarettes, and these days “vaping.” Never tried.

[–] Professorozone 2 points 6 months ago

When I was a kid, an older kid peer-pressured me into smoking a cigarette. I smoked the whole thing and quickly noped out of that. Can't believe I made the best decision of my life at the age of 6.

do you like drugs? nicotine isnt the worst.

If anybody is reading this and thinking of trying vaping/smoking, do not.

If you never start, you never have to stop, and stopping is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Sure it gets me through the day but I have probably wiped 10 years off my lifespan.

I used the nicotine pouches for a year then went could turkey. habit was totally broken.

This is a factually accurate statement, but it reads like you're encouraging someone to get into smoking cigarettes, which is (I thought) a myth invented by DARE types. Hey OP, speaking as someone with a 15 year off and on addiction to nicotine, steady on your course, bud.

i quit, too. it wasn't easy. but that doesn't mean i won't use nicotine, i just broke the habit.
