why anyone would smoke cigarettes when weed exists is beyond me but ok.

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

Because cigarettes are addictive? People start in a weak moment and fail to stop. It's not a rational decision.

Different receptors. Also, cigarettes are way more addictive.

Edit: Did I get pushback for stating that cigarettes are highly addictive?

Weed turns me into a lazy paranoid dumbass. Sometimes I just want to smoke something and not feel like that.

cigarettes are horrible though, have you tried that hot new trend of using pacifiers?

[–] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 hours ago

Can't say I agree. I haven't smoked regularly now for almost a year, but occasionally just buy a single if I've had a beer and have a craving. That's the nice thing about Latin America, you can buy single cigarettes. I smoke one, feel guilty, and then don't think about them for a month or so.
