Sometimes I wonder if I am at a disadvantage because I don't smoke! It would be nice to be able to call on the clear and lucid feeling when I sit down to work or need to think something through.
- jsmeaton 13y agoYou're not. It's like having a mini-hangover every hour or so and the only cure is to have just one more shot of vodka. Forever. Or another analogy. It's like having a really bad headache, taking some aspirin, and getting a 'clear and lucid' head after it takes effect. Wouldn't it be better just not to have the headache in the first place?
- corin_ 13y ago"Clear and lucid" isn't a phrase I'd use, and when I haven't had a smoke for a while I generally don't really notice it - for me it's more about habits than physical withdrawal symptoms. The chemical thing that I love is the slight rush a cigarette brings if you haven't smoked in a while. Cigarettes are obviously bad and a stupid thing to do, but there are people (including myself) who genuinely enjoy them, we aren't just addicted and using them to get back to level zero.
- deepvibrations 13y agoSpot on! The only time I smoke is on a Friday night with a pint of ale and I enjoy smoking my weekly roll ups far too much to consider quitting. I know the health risks, but when I live in London and inhale car fumes for an hour whilst cycling to and from work everyday, the pleasures I get from smoking few cigarettes on a friday night exceed the health implications by a long way!
