I saw a homeless guy pick up a butt off the ground and start smoking it the other day. Pretty sure he was crazy

I used to pick butts too. I know it's gross but at the time I genuinely did not care.
Even now if I see a whole cigarette on the ground I think about smoking it. That's a good pick.
You know you're an addict when...
Not any worse than the carpet resin I smoked that one time tho.

thats hard core. The most ive gone so far interms of is dried leaves didn't like the harshness.
@spirit_shadow, was glad for the dropby man . i used to treat em that way specially in the past before that trip, I do get it now why others view them with sacredness(pure intent). Also realized based on that experience, its still forgiving and can adjust for the mind.

Sorry ST that really sucks. But it wouldn't surprise me if benzos are soon in short supply anyway.
Too bad for the folk that genuinely cannot function without it, I guess.

Thanks CC  even before this happened I was getting cut down Spin dosage but this is ridiculous, they said it was from the fda . I'm seriously doubting the truth behind that but fore me it's the difference between suffering and not functioning or not

Hey Asante, I stopped drinking and smoking few weeks ago because of this cheese going around. Instead I bought me some milk thistle and cordyceps supplements for boost.
I feel great

Yeah I doubt that too. Most of these things are state or institution restrictions.
Last I heard anyway. I admit I'm not up to date with that info.
I hope they're at least gradually letting you off and not stopping overnight.
I've been browsing forums for chronic illness for a while. Lots of good people just trying to have a life getting cut off from their opiates or benzos when the alternatives don't work or they literally can't use the alternatives (ie doing PT when you can barely move most days) or they simply aren't offered alternatives.
In some time they'll realize their mistake swinging hard against prescription drugs but, like the war on drugs, it's going to cost alot of people everything first. A whole lot of people.

This article shows that current smoking is not a risk factor for COVID-19 and may be protective and it suggests down regulation of ACE2 receptors as a possible explanation.
It uses China's data so keep that in mind but it doesnt relate to the amount of total cases, just the prevalence of current smoking based on the cases that are known.
I dont beleive smoking is a net positive in life when you weigh all the risks and rewards. But Smoking has become so widely regarded as bad in every possible way. and I just knew that the claims I saw about smoking possibly worsening COVID-19 probably werent based on data even if they were correct. Just the widespread demonization of smoking. which again, may not be all bad, But you know what happens when you assume. every once in a while you make an ass out of u and me. and I'm not a betting man but I dont think nicotine will ever be looked at as a potential protective measure during this pandemic and I would put money on that. I'm no doctor so I cant say wheather or not thats reasonable or unreasonable but I suspect thats mostly based on stigma.
my point is that its become ok to instantly claim whatever you want about how horrible smoking is and nobody will really call you on it. Nothing should be treated that way when it comes to medicine especially. Everything you say should have data behind it.
So Asante while I want to quit smoking in general im not going to go cold turkey right now based on conjecture with evidence to the contrary, until I see some real supporting evidence. I know smoking is correlated to higher rates of COPD and other lung disorders that can be risk factors. All I'm saying is dont jump the gun and give medical advice based on the general stigma against smoking.
BTW, Dont smoke. Its bad for you and its addictive.
I didnt mean for that to become a rant. I have just been skeptical for a while about whether or not the acctual risk of smoking with all things considered is really proportionate to the vehement disdain for tobacco and persuasive scare tactics that are so prevelant.

It's pretty commonly accepted that smoking decreases the body's ability to fight off pneumonia. I would not take one shaky study on one population relying on chinese data and accurate/honest self-report of a medically stigmatized habit as anything to factor in to the equation of whether to smoke right now or not.

I mean there's a big difference between smoking and having lung damage from smoking.
Smoking a cigarette or cigar every now and then does not inherently mean you've done any notable damage. Like I think the first major reduction of lung function comes from paralyzing the cilia. And that doesn't happen immediately. Though it does happen if you smoke often enough for long enough.
I read once that some Chinese people think that Shanghai air was worse for you than having half a cigarette a day. Yeah no shit breathing severely polluted air 24/7 is worse than having a 2 minute smoke.
It's weird that people think smoking is the single worst thing you can do to your body. But I guess that means the marketing was effective.

As I was sating I was already skeptical. this just backs up my skepticism.
yes its chinese data but I dont see why they would lie about the prevelance of current smoking. I see lots of reasons for them to lie but that diesnt instantly raise a red flag for me.
I say alot of controversial stuff on this site that people here strongly disagree with but I havent even mentioned my questioning the orthodox opinion with regard to smoking. Most people in our society cant look at smoking objectively.
Again, dont smoke. its bad and addictive.
