My first time i felt like how you feel when you're the perfect amount of tipsy. I lost inhibitions and i felt relaxed and a little euphoric. That was the first hit or any hit after a long break.

Regular smoking was more like, every time i smoked i felt more relaxed and more awake. It was like a little energy boost. You can't quite place when or what exactly happens, you just feel better and ready to go after you're done.

I have since quit smoking and a decade later i still miss it. Smoking was the perfect work pause, because it forced me to go outside and think. It also gave me a little jolt of energy and it was perfect for creative thought. I haven't quite managed to find the replacement for it, but the best I've managed was periodic walks with a notebook during work time and coffee. Also drinking water.

Smoking is terrible for your health and even though i miss it, i don't regret my decision to quit.

This is why I only started smoking weed in my mid-30's - I'd always throw up violently, because all my dumb friends would Roll spliffs (Marihuana mixed with tobacco). Until I had that one friend connect the dots and roll me a pure joint...of gorilla glue.

I left earth that day, for about 4 hours.

I smoked for 9 months because I wanted to look cool. After school, I quit immediately because I noticed how cringe it is to pay so much for some dry leaves that give you cancer.

Every time I've tried smoking tobacco, I've broken into a cold sweat, collapsed into a puddle on the ground, and barely had any strength to move for 6 to 8 hours while experiencing the worst dizziness of my life. I've never heard of anyone else that experiences this. I don't know exactly why this is, but it's been the best anti-smoking incentive. Weed, of course, is a different story.

I guess the answer to his question would be that other people didn't necessarily react the same way he did.

Anon learns that different bodies interact with drugs differently

Honestly I took some fat rips off a high concentration nicotine vapor and barely experienced a thing. Slightly dizzy I think? Is there a vast disparity in how nicotine affects people?

I tried smoking once. My tongue tasted terrible for like twenty minutes.

Something about a camel

Heh, I just lived with smokers so when I tried i got none the benefits and all the normal cons. My body was too used to it by second hand smoking. I guess I should thank my family, cuz I don't smoke now due to this...simply saw it as a waste of money.

when the smoke loses its "cool factor"

I hit a FWBs vape, out of curiosity and found that spinning, dizzy sensation so pleasant I bought the strongest vape I could find the next day. Hit it like crazy for a month, and have been trying to quit ever since.
