How can you say that? Have you ever smoked one after sex?
What about alcohol or binging Netflix shows or even sex itself? Life is all about tradeoffs. Tobacco has a place in the trillions of tradeoffs combinations that each human can generate with their own lives, and so does alcohol, Netflix and social media.
- oldsklgdfth 4y agoI say this as someone that has failed a bunch of time to quit smoking. Every time I smoke, I rationally know it's doing nothing for me, but can't help myself. It's not that good IMO. Not as clear a trade-off as alcohol. I think it's mostly a romantic image I have in my head.
- qroolen 4y agoi think we should not look at the end of the spectrum and conclude stuff for everyone... maybe there is a ton of people who will not get negatively effected by social media, as well people who will smoke a cigarette every 3 months in a party
- oldsklgdfth 4y agoYou make a good point here. As with everything there are winners and losers. Some built careers and companies by leveraging social media. That's in the pros column. When I drill down into it, I think the potency is what draws me in. I sometimes feel this way on HN. "Let me check the comments". But FB, reddit, et al. are high octane versions.
