What good does a cigarette do?


I smoke one a day, and the good it does for me is carve out 5 minutes of reflection on the day.


you could take a nicotine gum or a patch instead of getting carcinogens in your body, unless you do it cigar style.


> unless you do it cigar style.

Mouth cancer is no joke, I knew a dude without a lower jaw because of that


Throat cancer, too. Friend of mine smoked cigars regularly for much of his life. Once they diagnosed the cancer in his upper throat, he lived about 10 months.


i'll pile on: my dad had jaw cancer. cut a few chunks of his jaw out, basically lost all of the molars on the bottom left. probably going to have to take more out before too long.

also turned into a few skin cancer issues in there.

don't smoke and wear sunscreen, people


Not inhaling means less carcinogens than doing so, but far more than not smoking.


Anx you can drink non-alchojolic vodka... but what for?
