Always wonder this. Never smoked marijuana or cigarettes a day in my life but i'm curious as to what positive effects come from them.
I've heard some opinions on the effect of weed, but what positive effects come from smoking cigarettes, black & milds, etc.?

Just curious..

You get a buzz. Alcohol and tobacco go well together. After meal smoke is quite nice as well.

For me, I smoke tobacco socially. I never buy cigarettes of my own, but I know I can bum one or two while out drinking.

[h3]Smoking Relieves Stress[/h3]
This is the most common thing you hear from smokers about the benefits of smoking. This is because cigarettes create a myriad of conditions that help the body deal with anxiety, stress, and depression.
[h3]Smoking Relaxes Your Breathing[/h3]
The way you breathe when you smoke helps your body relax and calm down. For people who have panic attacks or stress problems, Doctors recommend patients practice a sort of breathing called relaxation breathing. Among other things, it involves taking a deep breath into the lungs and holding it in for a second or two before exhaling. This is exactly like the act of smoking. This kind of breathing slows your heart rate and relieves tension in your muscles, especially your neck and upper back, which tense up in stressful situations.

[h3]Outside Smoke Breaks Calm You Down[/h3]
If you go outside for smoke breaks, this simple act can really help you deal with your stress. Say if you’re in a fight with your spouse or close to the deadline on a major project for work, leaving the house or office to step outside for a smoke break helps you deal with the stress.
  • You get a break from your stressor
  • You get into the open and fresh air
  • You leave the stressful environment
  • You have time to think about your problems from an objective point of view
  • The nature and sky outside helps your mind calm down and relax
[h3]Nicotine is an Anxiety and Depression Medication[/h3]
The nicotine in cigarettes is also a major factor of stress relief. Nicotine is a chemical which mildly and temporarily stops the feelings of anxiety and depression. After an inhale of cigarette smoke, the nicotine reacts in your brain chemistry within seven seconds. Nicotine makes the brain feel better, and stops the chain reaction anxiety and depression can have within the brain. It is no surprise that 1/3 of nicotine addicts claim to have depression or anxiety problems. Cigarettes are a great form of self medication.

i'm a smoker, have been the last three years. i'm not proud of it, i wish i didn't start. dumbest thing i've ever done.

smoking gives me a nice head rush, especially the first one in the morning. it's something to do as well, i like smoking while i'm driving .. doesn't make the trip as boring. sounds stupid, i know.
when i drink, i HAVE to smoke .. especially after doing some nasty shot like tequila, having a cigarette washes that disgusting taste out (with another disgusting taste) and gets you ready for the next shot?

sound stupid? it is.. i need to quit. i quit for 3 weeks a couple months ago and i decided to reward myself for my efforts with a cigarette, thinking one wouldn't make me relapse.


fail, fail, fail. i'm back to half a pack a day now. smh.

Man, to GregOden - I hope you quit man. I always hear smokers say "I have to smoke while I drive!". I find it interesting that some people can do it for 15-20 years, like my uncle. Thank God I don't smoke.
