cigarettes, alchohol, drugs. your mind has a hard time getting rid of it

aye

i think it's because it's so close to something the brain actually runs on normally

the cognitive benefits aren't talked about often

true, but probably because the benefits are swamped by the different types of cancer that can form 😛

@spiritupgrades what what question?

too much shitposting between now and then I forgot

the nicotine itself doesn't seem to cause cancer, or to put it in the terms that healthcare providers prefer: "it's too early to say that there is a direct link between nicotine and cancer"

yeah

its the smoke as gets ya

putting hot burnt particules in your throat and lungs, whoda thunk

or the other shit, in the case of snuff and shit like that

yeah

@Hatter Says you.

Hi

true, but i choose to remain catiously pessimistic. nicotine is a pretty potent chemical

not as potent as some, mind me

I smoke a pipe, so tbf I have no right to speak, but cigs are filled with so many carcinogens its scary to me

but still

grow your own stuff?

who me? or someone else

you, srry, should've mentioned

no worries

I am actually still nursing a jar of pipe tobacco a friend gave me when I turned 18

that was 4 years ago now

I dont smoke ver yoften tbh

hm.

well, keep it occasional i guess

ehh, you dont need to worry too much as long its not daily

at least, thats what he said

but tbh the last time I took them out was june

I have to smoke outside and it is far too cold now

so itll probably be june again before I smoke

i gotya

temp stays pretty moderate here in cali

I do like to give the pipe an occasional dry drag tho

whoever convinced brits to call cigs "fags" is a madlad

get the taste of it

you know you've got good tobacco when you like the taste that much

yeah, my friend has good tastes 😃

glad he gave me some to begin otherwise I woulda probably picked some nasty shit and never picked it up again
