Benefits of smoking cigarettes? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

152 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I'm not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn't believe me and keeps saying that it's actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is actually good for you so that she can stop judging me over it but I can't find any info online to back that up. Can anyone help me find some resources that list the health benefits of cigarettes? Like how nicotine kills germs or anything like that?

I'm not spending too much money on it I smoke under a pack a day, I could quit whenever I want to right now but I'll just do it later.

Ok, you have to be trolling. Are you? No one uses “I could quit whenever I want to right now but I’ll just do it later” seriously.

He'll quit later, after his girlfriend has left him for a non-smoker who listens to her.

Literally what I told myself when I was 16 lmao.

Buddy, you are not immune to nicotine addiction. You do not need to smoke a pack a day to be addicted, I currently smoke half a pack a day and am most definitely addicted. Test yourself, go a day without and see if you don't get irritable and have cravings.

There are no benefits to smoking. Any benefits you percieve are the cigarettes relieving withdrawl symptoms.

As somehow who lost a close one to cancer, quit now and not later. The more you wait, the greater the chances you'll get cancer. Don't wait and regret it.

Let’s assume a pack of smokes is only $7. In just one year of a pack every other day, that adds up to $1,277.

Is that yearly subscription worth it?
