If it weren’t for the whole cancer causing thing coupled with reduced lung capacity until the cancer, smoking is great. You have to be a special kind of idiot to ignore those down sides though.
Comment on Nobody has ever lit a cigarette because of happiness. Smoking is a anxiety-coping mechanism.

There are some ex-smokers who claim that they never enjoyed it. Then there are some who go on to claim that nobody ever does. The former, I can believe.

I really liked nicotine when I first started. I think it affects ADHD in a way similar to other stimulants, and the effect is very nice. I understand why people say they help them think; I don’t know if they’re actually helpful for any kind of thinking but it certainly felt like I was thinking more quickly and clearly. After using it for a while though, I stopped feeling it.

Seconded I would 100% say, very few claims that “nobody ever wants” have any chance of being true, you could say most, you could even say “almost nobody”. But give me enough time and a large enough set of people, I’ll find someone who actually wants to have their head put on a pike.
