- junon 2y agoDefinitely not always true. I smoke, I hate it, I've tried to quit several times. The smoke smell has never repulsed me but I find it to smell terrible. Many people I know who smoke are the same. It's a constant reminder that you're killing yourself for miniscule amounts of Feel Good chemicals at a time.
- t-3 2y agoI've always enjoyed the smell of tobacco smoke. It's nowhere near as astringent and repulsive as woodsmoke and good tobacco often has a nice nearly floral scent or a sweet smell. The taste and the tearing up my throat and making my breath bad and the expense are all things I can do without though. Does anyone else get seasonal nicotine cravings? In the warmer months, I don't even think about smoking unless I drink, but in winter I often can't sleep for craving a cigarette, even when it's been literally years since the last one.
- junon 2y agoDefinitely. I'm usually quite successful at quitting during the summer. Then the winter months come and for some reason the urges come back.

- samatman 2y agoThis isn't true at all, though. Nicotine is strongly dopaminergic, it directly produces euphoria. You can describe the trap which is addiction without saying things which are obviously not true. Or, to return your uncharitable rhetoric back upon you, lying.
- junon 2y agoAh yes, I lied to myself. Thank you for fixing things for me.
- cma 2y agoUse nicotine pouches or vape, there is no reason to smoke and nicotine isn't carcinogenic
- junon 2y agoThanks but I'm not really looking for advice. Where I live vape juice is exorbitantly priced. Plus there are other habitual issues with vaping, such as vaping indoors which overall increases my intake. Pouches aren't always a solution either and don't solve the "habitual" part of the habit, which is the hardest part to kick for me.
- cma 2y agoPay the higher cost for the vape or you pay with your life. If intake is increase because you will do it indoors it won't really matter, it isn't nearly as bad.
- junon 2y agoI'm aware, thanks.
- helboi4 2y agoThat's why the pouches are good. They reduce your craving, therefore making the act of smoking seem less necessary. Of course, the act itself is still appealing, but then you can work on reducing that habit independently and perhaps saving it for special occasions. I find cigars quite good for this. Too expensive and fancy to smoke every day but you can really treat yourself on your birthday or on holiday with something like a cigar.
- MiiMe19 2y agovapes aren't as cool as smoked tobacco :)
- helboi4 2y agoNicotine pouches are okay, I would advise against vape though. Vape is honestly more addictive than cigarettes and I find, in large volumes, the vapour still affects my lung function. Nicotine pouches or gum are the way to go to get the benefits with minimal side effects.
