If I'm looking for flavor/smoothness I roll my own with some quality rolling tobacco. Plus I can control how much tobacco is in it.

I think this pretty much covers it. It's not just about nicotine, smoking in itself is a powerful ritual. In fact, that's also part of the reason why so many people smoke so much. You can smoke tobacco anywhere, any time and it won't alter your state of mind. Maybe to calm your nerves before an exam or something. You can't do that with weed.

i smoke tobacco because i like niccotine, beta carbolines and carbonmonoxide.
they give a great buzz combined, plus it's fun to grow, and looks really nice.
i like smoke. tobacco is more prevalent, and legal than weed, and i cant smoke weed because of tests....
i like the taste and smell. plenty of reasons. but eventuially i will be extracting my own niccotine and making my own electronic cigarettes.
i dont intend to smoke forever, unlike some folks.

Yes, I like the smell. Not all tobacco, but cigarettes for the most part yes.
However, I do not smoke tobacco, I used to when I was in early high school but only during weed smoking sessions, and the blunt wraps I used to use were made out of tobacco.
But yes I like the smell, I haven't smelt it in a long time but from what I remember I like it.

I've always been able to smoke for any period of time and then quit with ease, caffeine is infinitely more addictive than nicotine imo. I currently started buying cigs since I can't smoke weed because of impending probation and I just like the act of smoking something, but I regularly go days without them with no problem.

Heh, I was once like you. After I started buying packs I was done for. Not saying you will become addicted, but it's pretty easy to slip into.

I managed to never become addicted to caffeine despite drinking coffee regularly for a long period of time. It makes me feel great, but it also makes me feel like shit, so it's been pretty easy to stay away lately.

I got addicted to it hardcore when I was a barista.. I'd start off my day with five-shots of espresso over ice with a pump of vanilla, and that was just for starters.
Caffeine was way easier to quit though

I personally find caffeine is way harder to quit than meth. If caffeine is easier to quit than tobacco I should just stay the fuck away.

gman7104 said: I always wondered why people smoked until I got addicted. Usually you start smoking because your friends do and the buzz feels great, especially after getting high. You think you won't get addicted and then suddenly your like fuck it Im just gona smoke a few more and then suddenly your addicted....
I always wondered why folks smoked as well. Almost all the people around me in my social circle smoke, it was inevitable that I started to smoke after hanging with them for a few years.
I smoke mainly because of the social aspect of smoking, along with the underlying mild stimulating buzz and some mild dopamine action going on. When ever I'm hanging with friends, I enjoy smoking a few cigarettes while socializing. It's the act of smoking that gets me, just having something to hold in the fingers, inhaling smoke is always a joy, it's an activity, something to do. The mild buzz is just a bonus.
After a good hearty meal, sometimes a cig sounds nice and adds a layer of satisfaction after eating.
Or sometimes after a long task/job of sorts, lighting one up is nice.
Only time I will smoke a considerable amount is if I'm on mdma, adderall, or coke....all of which is only a few times a year.
I don't find nicotine to be addictive what so ever!...I can have a pack of stoges sitting in my room for weeks with out smoking a single one, but then if I go to hang with friends or if I'm in a social setting, I'll smoke. Then the rest of the pack will sit until I'm once again in a setting that I like to smoke. Been this way for years. A habit in certain settings, sure, but I never get cravings or urges to smoke a cigarette when I'm just chillin.
Sure there is an aspect of physical/chemical dependency with most drugs when people let them selves get to that point....But I'm going to repeat what I always do, the addiction lays in the person, the person's lack of self control, and the person's relationship with said drug, not the drug itself .
