Random question about tobacco
- Thread starter kuuri
- Start date
I was 16 once so I will help you out.
Go to the shop that sells pipes - not the head shop type pipes but the shop that Sherlock Holmes would go for a replacement.
Talk to the clerk and ask him the differences in tobacco - smells, tastes, etc. While you are at it, find out how pipes effect the smoking of the tobacco also. This shows that you have a genuine interest and that you are not some 16 year old kid trying to complete a bucket list.
Here comes the discouraging part - being carded. Be honest with him and show him your real id. He will look at it and see that you are only 16 years old and not sell you any tobacco until you are 19. Like I said, discouraging part but there is a way to get around that. Go back the next day with your real id and give it back to the guy. Once again he will say he cannot sell you any tobacco until you are 19. He has to by law. Repeat days number 1 and 2 every day until wear him down and he finally agrees to sell you tobacco.
Listen carefully to what he is going to say when selling you tobacco for the very first time. Life changine advice "here you go and happy 19th birthday"

? I think ima play bass now
its 3:42 am and I got nothing better to do.
Manic depressive - no
Teenager - yes
If you are needing to use drugs as a crutch, you're pretty much setting yourself up for teh fail. If you actually think you have some sort of mental issue, go to a doctor instead of trying to self medicate.
It's 3:43 am? Go to bed then.
Funny/sad story: When in college, my roomie, who didn't smoke, was giving us the beatdown about quitting being easy. He said he would smoke for a month, then quit just to show us how easy it was. Fast forward to now. He still smokes, it's torn up his lungs, teeth, gums, and wallet. And he CAN'T quit, he's tried.
Kuuri, don't mess with tobacco, it's a bad thing.

I think it does stand reason that I should state that you prolly shouldn't. I wish I hadn't started smoking. I'm 19, I only started in December, and now I kinda wish I hadn't. I'm not ADDICTED. I won't kill someone if I don't walk to bp and buy my next pack of camel menthol lights, but I know I am addicted. It doesn't start hardcore. "oh, its whatever. I like smoking. I'll stop when I want. Next pack." I like the action of smoking, it gives me something to do, and I love the knowledge that I get paid to smoke when I'm working. I like smoking with other people. It's not so much the nicotine that gets you when you're young. You don't want to get out of that social circle. Whenever I go a few days without a pack, I still end up bumming - so I can stand there with my coworkers, or friends, and smoke, too. I like smoke, literally - the swirl it makes as you make the drag, the puff that billows. That's the addiction. But its a money trap, and it has the potential to be a dirty dirty habit, unless you actively act to make it clean, throwing butts away etc.
Of course, if you are set on a pipe, some of this doesn't matter to you, but the jist of it is - what starts as something you like to do will turn into something you have to do, and its so gradual you won't notice for a while. And once you do, its a tad to late to be easy to stop. I don't mentally regret starting, yet, but I feel I might eventually and that worries me, at night when I have time to reflect on myself and see these things.
This is all hustling my personal little story, take as much or as little as you want from it. I just know that 99% of the time its the same adult story that sounds canned and feels like people guard don't want you to have fun. My story is just me. Just felt like I should be responsible a little, instead of sounding like another braindead "lets smmmmooookkkkeeeeee" that people just scoff off.
And it also goes to say that the above is only for cigarettes. The oher type of pipe? Word. Go for it.
this is exactly why you don't want to play with smoking. Kid is a nicotine addict and doesn't want to believe it. Many smokers go their whole lives thinking they'll quit when they feel like it.Smoke is smoke whether it's pipe, cigar or cigarette, 'baccy.... Vape, gum, patches, all the same stuff, nicotine.
That's bullshat, some of the method you listed are not even smoke and don't have the huge drawbacks on health and other stuff that cigarettes has.
As to my knowledge, the bad part of smoking is the carcinogens in the smoke, not the nicotine....

Bingo!
The nicotine is the addictive part, the bad stuff is all the other **** in there.
I love the occasional reminders why I chose NOT to have any little terrorists of my own. TB OT is usually full of such reminders during the summer months when school is out.
eh, I dunno about that. Just being addicted to a benign substance in my eyes isn't as bad as being addicted to a destructive substance. Sure, you always have to spend some cash on it, but it doesn't destroy you body.
Y'know, at 23, I've now been smoking basically continuously for ten years.
When you smoke for that long (or longer), you end up hanging out and sharing a butt with a lot of different cats.
Funny thing about EVERY SMOKER I'VE EVER MET: Not a single one of them was happy that they had started. NOT ONE.
