I used to and I miss it. I will smoke and drink my little heart out again when I am 80.

I finally quit smoking last year.
Smoking marijuana does not have any side effects. If you don't abuse it, it helps you on the contrary. If you are confused by the very best of smoking marijuana, you can try other products with cannabinoids. I prefer chewing bars from the site tillmanstranquils.com. But they have many other products with cbd. You can use massage oil or coffee with cbd. In any case, it will never harm your health. On the contrary, cannabinoids have a wide range of therapeutic effects. It's not for nothing that doctors prescribe medicinal marijuana in some cases. Insomnia, by the way, is among such cases.

Untrue.
Cannaibis is way worse for your lungs than tobacco (supposing you smoke the same quanitity of each, which of course is not likely).
For people who are already feeling anxious and/or depressed, it can worsen that, and there is some evidence that it may increase the chance of developing latent psychosis in susceptible people.
It impairs motor skills while high and makes driving under its influence dangerous.
I'm not condemning cannabis use, I feel all drugs should be legalized, that said saying it has zero side effects is plain untrue.

I hate smoke in any form. It is incredibly obnoxious and gives me headaches. It's something I have to bring myself to tolerate when I am with family and friends, but I will occasionally smoke marijuana with them.
I've smoked socially, but habitually I don't smoke. I tried smoking when I was old enough to buy cigarettes just because I could, it took me three days to realize how stupid it was and I threw the pack out.

I don't smoke, but I eat edibles.
The carcinogens in smoking weed present a problem. Edibles don't have that problem.
Also, where I live, it's legal.
Occasionally I want to smoke something when I have a loss in my life. I never do it, though.

I smoke a pack a day (Signal blue kings...I like my Native American cigarettes) Currently out of cigs so I'm trying to get used to the vape again. I smoke a pipe occasionally. I drink a can or two beers most days. Working on my second can of Dogfishhead's Sea Quench hoping it will help me go back to sleep since I work the graveyard shift and have to drive almost an hr to get there even with light traffic and then have to fight rush hour traffic getting off work. It's another reason I smoke to help with my alertness (I have low blood pressure).
For the other stuff, I don't consume much cannabis compared to some people. I hate the cough and the Delta 8 gummies make me high for many hours and I am not really functional when I'm that stoned. THC also makes me go into super Ni mode and it freaks me out sometimes.
I smoked marijuana occasionally in high school but that was it. And the last time I got high was last year, when a coworker and I took edibles. Otherwise, I'm a relatively sober person; I wouldn't go out of my way to get high but if presented with the opportunity, I'll go for it.
I'm similar with drinking, although I do this more often. At the 'worst', I used to spike my coffee with whiskey before I went to work. I did this a handful of times and only enough to make me tipsy, not wasted. Now, I just occasionally drink a glass of wine like a normie. Lol
There's something to be said about doing weed as a lifestyle. I've known people who are high 24/7 and I think it's good to be sober sometimes to understand and get a feel for who you really are as a person. It's really hard to measure success when you're high all the time.
I smoke 2-3 packs of cigarettes a week these days, I don't want to smoke more than that level. I'm regularly quitting and 2-3 months later I start again for another 3-4 month.
I care less when I'm in my smoking period so it helps my anger issues. I think cigarettes are better than alcohol or weed when it's not too much, at least cognitively.
It's bad for my skin though I can see that
All the impacts it has on your health and appearance is not worth it
I cen get the addict mindset tho, it’s very short term reward
(…cancer is also a pretty horrible way to go)
No.
As a confession I don't want to associate myself with people who smoke. I don't want them near me. I've mentioned same concerns with some people that I've been avoiding because they have vices including smoking. Some of my family members were also smokers and the pain and disappointment the smell gives you is just immense. I LOATHED smelling it while growing up. I think the kid me didn't deserve to smell cigarettes and see people waste their life nonchalantly as role models. I deserve to have woken up everyday not smelling cigarettes, not seeing dirty cigarette butts and ash and not fearing if I would have bad lungs when I get older.
I also never see smokers who have good habits, they are mostly lost or think their job is a jail and they hate their job or their life. I tend to hear that they started doing it and got addicted because they wanted to try what their group of friends do or they want to look cool which I think are questionable. In my experience they also don't eat well, don't sleep well, their life is chaotic and most of the time they are alcoholics or would have other vices. If they're the same age as me, they also have the gall to offer me some and say it's not a big deal so I should try. Wtf. I also hate alcoholics because they say the same thing and they joke that you are a party pooper if you don't drink more than you're supposed to.
Nicotine more forms annoying dependency. It's very similar to forbidden drugs of stimulators. The harm is lesser, but the principle is the same.
People during 2 hours feel negative symptoms, which normal humans do not have. They reduce productivity, may feel worsened emotions. Mainly to remove these (added by nicotine itself) problems they get another dose. "Reward" is secondary. It's similar how forbidden drugs work, which after a time become a "need".
Other problem is - the smell annoyes people near. If you'll stay in a room where someone smoked near - even your clothes will get the smell and need be washed to removed it.
Then: cancer risk, worsened air infections resistance, influence on preborn kids when used by women.
The thing gives no social usefulness and does known harm. The main reason why it's sold is the ones who should do own duties by laws do not do that. New kind of that is sold now as vapes, which contain the same nicotine (or worse). Other doubtful substances appear in mass selling. Forbidden before drugs get legal status in some places, to lead to more harm against people.
The similarly questionned and same widely sold is concentrated ethanol (>13% vol). In 19th century in Russia were protests against mass selling of it. This thing also easier leads to mistakes in car driving, in doing different duties.
I think if I ever tried smoking, I could easily get addicted to it. My sister started smoking after her divorce in her late 30’s. She used to say how gross it is. So my thoughts are, given the right circumstances, people could end up there. Even if they say never. Never say never and all that. I’m lucky I haven’t yet. My thought is to just never try and I’ll be alright. I don’t want cancer and unnecessary and early wrinkles. Also, that smell permeates everything.

The smell of smoking is enough to make me never want to do it. Just smells way too disgusting. Smoking was super prevalent in Germany, can't walk down the street without choking on people's cigarettes smoke. I'm not sure it's less prevalent here in the U.S. so much as people tend to smoke when they're driving and such so it's not as noticable compared to Germany where everyone just walks everywhere.

I use nicotine pouches personally, I find that they give me good energy, more steady than caffeine which is more of a jolt. I like the brand Zyn the most. A lot of brands just don't hit like Zyn does.

I vape and I like it.

I don't smoke cigarettes, but I do vape. For me, vaping has been a cleaner alternative, and I enjoy the variety of flavors it offers. Currently, I'm using the Modus x Kado KB, and my go-to flavor is Mango Ice—refreshing and not too sweet. I always pick up my supplies from Nexus Smoke; they have a vast selection of devices, and the pricing is competitive. For example, the Modus x Kado KB cost me just $15 there, and it's good for 10,000 puffs, which is incredible value for money. If you're looking into vaping or just need some new gear, Nexus Smoke pricings are definitely worth checking out for good deals on a wide range of products.
