<p>I don’t know I think cigarettes make some people look like bums.</p>
<p>Cigarettes don’t “help you relax”. It’s just not true. The only reason it seems that way is because the addiction is taking hold; you feel irritable if you don’t have a cigarette. Therefore, there is in illusion that smoking “relaxes” you.</p>
<p>Now I’m going to enlarge this so maybe I can get through to some of the smokers here (and any potential smokers):</p>
<p>Smoking is much, much, much, much worse for your health than caffeine. It’s a disgusting habit that makes you more likely to get lung cancer, mouth cancer, esophageal cancer, cancers of the bladder, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, cervix, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach… COPD, emphysema, tooth decay, heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, aneurysm, reduced blood circulation, irritability, and much more.</p>
<p>It also makes you smell, makes your teeth yellow.</p>
<p>Honest to god, I don’t understand why anybody in the 21st century would take up smoking. Just a stupid, stupid habit. Would you intentionally inhale dust and particulate matter at a construction site too?</p>
<p>Don’t take up smoking, OP.</p>
<p>Coffee will not kill you, though. If coffee was as bad as smoking, then most folks in South America and scads of places in Europe would die by the time they were 30 or something.</p>
<p>Now with all that being said, coffee and cigs do sometimes go hand in hand. That is where things could be bad for your health. If you find that you cannot have your morning coffee without a cig, then you might want to go to your local YMCA or something and get advice on how to break both habits.</p>
<p>coffe is healthy…cigarrets are not. </p>
<p>PS: the best coffe is Colombian</p>
<p>coffee is not healthy, it’s still a stimulant and caffeine is an alkaloid, which is a poison, and stimulates you’re sympathetic nervous system, putting stress on your cardiovascular system. it’s HEALTHIER than nicotine, but not completely healthy.</p>
<p>then again…no substance is healthy

<p>coee qwil totaly help you to stay awake OSUforME. I realy adevide this…</p>
<p>^^^Are you drunk?</p>
<p>I think the other parts of coffee might be healthy, just not the caffeine. One cig and one cup of coffee by themselves are going to have negligable health effects. The cig is more addictive though.</p>
<p>Nicotine is a stimulant, is does not calm you down. Satisfying your craving for nicotine addiction may calm you down though.</p>
<p>no, nicotine is a weird chemical, and in blocking the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, it has both a stimulating and anxiolytic affect, like…it amps you up and calms you down at the same time. it’s weird, but it does. when you get psychologically addicted to it, the anxiolytic nature is more pronounced.</p>
<p>this is a dumb question- while neither is good for you, and both are addictive, caffeine poses much less known health risk, is much cheaper, and won’t ostracize you from society.</p>
<p>dont take up smoking for an energy boost.</p>
<p>If anything, get more sleep.</p>
<p>Did someone say cigarettes’ buzz is just an illusion? Have you ever smoked? The first time I inhaled, I was tripping balls for about 10 minutes. To say the nicotine buzz is “artificial” and that it’s just your body being stressed the rest of the time… clearly shows me you haven’t smoked before.</p>
<p>Everyone smokes at my college, no one looks down on it. I smoke every other day or so… cloves. It’s very social and relaxing here. I’ve never increased my rate… if you don’t have an addictive personality, it can be pretty fun.</p>
<p>Instead of wanting to drink coffee or smoke cigarretts you shoul just want to rest and dont worry to much of hbeing awake. Talk with your doctor, but dont smoke and damge your lungs just because you want to stay awake.</p>
<p>Visirale, the only way you could “trip balls” off of a cigarette is it was dipped in PCP. Was it yellowish? Did it cost about $10? </p>
<p>Cloves are great, and smell a lot better than cigarettes.</p>
<p>But as I said before, being addicted to anything sucks. I stopped drinking coffee a few weeks ago and it’s awesome now.</p>
<p>I love em both. ciglets and coffcoff. yummy num nums!!</p>
<p>Haha, I was kidding with the tripping balls, but I had to sit down. My physical senses became overwhelmed and my balance was thrown a bit off. </p>
<p>I think the key is if the user has an addictive personality… that’s the difference between an addict and a casual user.</p>
<p>Smoking is gross … try SLEEPING! :D</p>
<p>nicotine is extremely addictive. most people who smoke cigarettes smoke every day, the casual users are pretty limited in number, smoking a cigarette only about once every few months.</p>
<p>I don’t get why smoking has such a negative connotation in America… in Europe it’s normal, and dare I say… respectable?</p>
<p>ya but at the same time, visirale, they’re making europe smoke free as well, Amsterdam is gonna be smoke free even.</p>
<p>if anything, laws are more powerful there against tobacco than they are here, the tobacco industry is 10 times as powerful, especially since the economy of the Americas was originally founded on tobacco.</p>
<p>I just think people are more tolerant in Europe in general, they accept alternative lifestyles. In America, instead of tolerating alternative lifestyles, we build more prisons.</p>
<p>people in the US will generally voice disapproval of something they don’t agree in, so unfortunately they don’t **** when someone does something they don’t like but doesn’t affect them.</p>
<p>I don’t really care if people smoke, but tobacco is a drug that’s far more dangerous than cannabis, at the least, and I think people should know the dangers objectively.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with that. I like Europeans more in general than Americans… don’t get me wrong, I LOVE America… my problem just lies with the people who live here, haha. </p>
<p>It’s just a lifestyle choice I guess. I mean given the statistics of death, who in their right mind would ride a motorcycle instead of a car? I would… it’s just more exhilarating. Sure when I do things like this my chance of death increases greatly… but it’s just a chance that I’m willing to take. I’ll probably stop taking these chance once I start on the path towards being a responsible family head… but right now I’m young, single, and living the prime time of my life.</p>
<p>You know why people get irritated with smoking? Partially because, in a country where health care is subsidized by everyone, each smoker is costing society a lot of money with the terrible health issues they are statistically likely to eventually get. Also, it smells terrible, and if other people are around, can make them cough, and so forth.</p>
