This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

unabke to walk, stand or even talk correctly.

That's me when I am sick, or even slightly tired, lol.

I was once in a band with 3 guys who chainsmoked. Locked in a shitty practice room in the bass players house with the windows and doors closed for hours at a time twice a week or more.

After a year of this I would get nicotine fits if we didnt practice.

Same but with beer (and most alcoholic drinks really)

I liked my sister's answer when someone offered her cigarettes to try.

"If I don't like it, it will be a shitty experience. If I do like it, that's much worse. There's no way for me to smoke a cigarette and win."

Life is shitty enough without adding a serious addiction in top of it, I'm good, thanks

I mean as cliche as this seems to be an an answer, I think the best solution is to not try them in the first place. You can't lose if you never play the game.

Yeah. It's weird that just saying "no" really is the best move. We just shouldn't count on it when teaching kids about substance abuse.

Just like with abstinence-only sex education, basing the entire strategy around just one method of preventing an unwanted outcome is dumb.

Nicotine levels have been increased to compete with vapes.

Be me.
Be 12.
With my friend, steal a pack of ciggies from his mum.
Smoke a couple in low ground between two fields, surrounded by Meadow Pipits and Chiffchaffs.

Didn't bother for a fair few years after that. Never really got into it, but enjoyed the acceptable work breaks that came with it for a while. Haven't smoked more than a cigar or two a year for the last 25 years.

Cigars? Aren't those suuuper stinky?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I never even bothered trying it. Expensive, smelly, bad for your health, it's all downsides.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

Just smoke tomorrow too, see where it goes

Cuz' they're not pussy's.

This reminds me of when I tried smoking when I was 18. It did nothing to me and I didn't see the point. So I did not continue.

the only good cigarette is a drunk one

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Try smoking your first after 4 beers. That'll get you hooked

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

That’s the only time I have one, well half of one, a whole cigarette feels like a lot

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

the first cigarette of the morning always feels like that
