Vampires: it's true tho

"Addiction ever knocking, ever knocking on my heady door, thoughts of cheap Marlboro."

Agreed 😂

Honestly I'm the same way. If I didn't feel on edge if I hadn't had a smoke in awhile I would smoke more.

I’d also drink all the time if it wasn’t so addictive

Hey, it's Red Means Recording. Nice.

How is this comment 7 days old when the video got released a minuet ago?

I thought the time lords were all dead!!!

Lol

@@Mark-zg1gz Perhaps those viewers who pony up the dough, got to see the video a week early.

@Mark i'm so glad i clicked on the replies, for a hot minute i was really baked and looking at this and about to write it off as "im just really high rn" 😹😹

>of sorts no, you definitely was, as are all smokers, and every other loser that needs a fucking coffee in the morning or an energy drink or whatever to function

Isn't it weird the whole flip flop, on the odd occasion they smell so good to me but when I bum one, oh man they make me feel nauseous. Is it the cold turkey thing maybe that makes us entirely loose that acquired taste?

How did you stay at home for 2 weeks without going to work ?? I wanto quit but i goto pay the bills. And there is no way i would be able to work and not smoke. :/

@@kinkykane0607 There's always a little kudos to being one of the "Smokers" at work. I've always found that I meet the most interesting people, and enjoy the most random yet informative conversation while huddled inside of that grotty perspex box. I tend to wander back to the office with my bloodstream enriched with sweet, sweet nicotine, but also my mind enriched with the delicious knowledge it craves...

The last time I quit smoking was so hard it's kept me from restarting. I never want to go through that again.

Most people take at least three attempts to quit. Anyone attempting to quit and who goes back on cigarettes....don't be hard on yourself. Try again. Remember, (as Alan Carr states) cigarettes only trick you into thinking the cigarette can give you something that doesn't exist. Only the temporary relief of the craving. Quitting smoking gives you what you were looking for all along.

I like to joke with customers of mine whenever they bring up how hard it is to quit smoking that "quitting is easy, I quit about 20 times a day myself!" It gets a chuckle out of the ones who get the joke :)

More addicting than porn, social media, video games, weed, or alcohol for me... I’ve been able to quit every vice I have EXCEPT cigs. It’s insane how hard it is.

I'll never know if Champix helped or not. It probably did, but then I always felt it was they psychological/behavioural that was the hardest thing to beat for me, not just the drug itself. It was a HUGE crutch. That was still quite agonising. Then I got addicted to Juicy Fruit for a period (can't stand Nicotine gum).

Similar thing with alcohol, in my opinion. The transition from sober to not-so-sober is very pleasurable. Any subsequent attempt to maintain that level of non-sobriety doesn't maintain the pleasure.

That is so true. It got to the point that I would force myself to not smoke after 8pm just so that the morning ciggie would hit harder. And every cigarette after the first one was really just an exercise in diminishing returns.

Same with weed. That first hit? Amazing. Just chasing the feeling after that.

You need better nutrition. smoking aside. If one cigarette is draining your dopamine that hard, I guarantee your diet is shit. Fix that, and then try to quit smoking.

ANd of course, since the Evil Corporations are nothing but evil, perhaps the Ghost of Adolf Hitler can pat you on the back, or something, for doing "the right thing".

how do you stop the meth?

You got this, buddy. Remember you have people that care about you.

@@nahtesalinas1917 I care about you, buddy. Keep it up.

don't sell yourself short its hard to quit

If smoking was enjoyable and you miss it everyday, why did you quit? The reason people think heroin is enjoyable is because they're addicted to it. Same for smoking. Once you realise that cigarettes are foul, cancerous drugs, that trick your mind into thinking they're enjoyable, and desirable, you'll stop missing them, and be an ex-addict rather than an addict who doesn't take the drug.

@@M2Mil7er are you 12

@@M2Mil7er Sure bud, and sugar doesn't taste sweet; it's just the drug tricking your brain into thinking it's sweet... Do you know what heroin does and why it makes you feel the way it does? Because boy oh boy are you wrong.

@@M2Mil7er Part of why it's addictive is...because it's enjoyable. I never did try heroin, but I had plenty of opportunities to, and I didn't try it because it makes you feel good. Too good. That's why people get stuck in it.

this whole video had an air of an Nine Inch Nails or Aphex Twin video clip to me. lol

Hahaha now I wanna watch Rubber Johnny

I vape, too. Yeah, it's still not good for you, but you do breathe better and it's way fucking cheaper

I used to scoff at it, but now I actually prefer it to cigarettes. And yes, while it may not be entirely safe, it's gotta be better than inhaling smoke. It's pretty much the same stuff that comes out of a smoke machine.

@@igotes I was the same way. I'm not sure about the ones nowadays, but when the first e-cigs came out, they caused a condition called popcorn lung. Basically there was/is an oil that was used in popcorn machines that collapses the bronchial sacs in your lungs. So it's a double edged sword.

Honestly cigarettes smell better than stale beer and BO with cheap cologne and perfume that people used half the bottle on themselves.

@@garyhall7867 The popcorn lung thing was a certain butter flavour compound. I'm pretty sure it's banned now. I think it's mostly FUD with regard to vapes.

Hang in there, brother.

Now that you’ve quit, the secret is to never ever take a puff again. Never.

its going to be tought but stick with it boss

100% not for smoking but. none of these have ever applied to me? smoking tastes good, always has, i forget to smoke for months but when i get back to it i love it. i've never thought it calmed me down, nobody has ever claimed that to me. and money-wise it's complicated, if i'm out instead of a cigarette i might opt for a cafe or something which is way more expensive than smoking. like don't smoke if you don't want to but why is everyone so adamant that smoking amongst all addictive substances is uniquely not enjoyable or your own choice to make

@@fisticuffs12 hmmm I don’t know what to say bro. really? Your very first cigarette ever was enjoyable and tasted great? Are you a just a social smoker? Or you smoke on a regular? I remember feeling really sick when I had my very first cigarette. Also I always smoked cigarettes thinking that it’ll relax me and that’s what people usually say about cigarettes. Also everyone’s different, everyone has their own reason to smoke right?

Great! Keep it up. There is a popular myth among smokers that “yes, you may get cancer if you are unlucky, but it’s rare, and when it happens, so be it” and that’s not true at all. When I see the old generations, where smoking was normal, I see what effects it has on health. They pretty much all have shortness of breath that is debilitating them, sometimes severely. All of them have problems with their teeth and gums. All of them have poorer overall health and cardio-vascular issues of one variety or another. All of this is always swept under the carpet in the usual “cancer or fine” attitude.

@@dietman yeah for me breathing in smoke is just a really appealing physical sensation. tried it out of curiosity. i actually don't like what weed does as a drug but i also enjoy the smoking of that so i think it's the ritual that gets me

@@fisticuffs12 hmmm interesting, well as long as it’s not effecting your life too negatively and you’re not smoking a pack a day, you should be fine. I’d say maybe consider switching to cbd weed? Should be cheaper than cigarettes if you smoke it from a bong. A lot healthy and more beneficial.

KEK

I used the "Quit when the lighter quits" method. You'd be amazed at how long those little Bic lighters can last...

I stopped taking my ciggies to work and that just made a 13 year addiction vade away. You're smoking every 20 minutes in construction.

I'm very _very_ sensitive to caffeine, so it makes me feel amazing for an hour or so, then I feel like trash. However, nicotine makes me feel amazing for a minute and then like trash for 5 minutes, which is much easier for me to deal with. So that's why I can't quit vaping for longer than 2 weeks to a month. I just can't find enough negatives yet

My Uncle Joe started smoking when he was 12 years old. He lived until he was 86 and was only sick the last two weeks of his life. He didn't smoke those pussy assed filtered cigarettes either. He was a Lucky Strikes man.

I came to the comments to find gold and I did

@IntrepidTit there's people that die of lung cancer that don't smoke a cigarette in their lives.

@IntrepidTit I do not know. What's the difference anyways? For me smoking is a simple pleasure I can get out of this life. I have to take whatever I can get too.

@@1pcfred Not everyone that smokes gets lung cancer, but almost everyone who gets lung cancer smokes. You don't have to eat like shit to get heart disease, but those who get heart disease usually eat shit. Same point, different scenario. You'd rather focus on the 1% of nonsmokers that get lung lung cancer than the 99% of cancer patients that are smokers lmao.

glad your still with us man hope your doing well

Putting the acid back into ant astic labour.

Next time just pull into a motel or sleep in your car lmao

My only two vices. They're way too enjoyable.

I don't think they are "Nicotine receptors" it's just that that Receptor Site is made to recieve a natural chemical that is similar to Nicotine. Nicotine replaces the natural brain chemicals at that receptor site.

or cannibinoid or opioid receptors. God played a cruel trick on us mortals.

I went all in on cold turkey and I ended up with Salmonella.

Here is my personal story of how i started smoking. My mother smoked through out most of her life. Only stop for 9 months while she was PreGargentuan(pregant) with me. She always told me it's a bad habbit and i NEVER should do it. When i was 7 she even stopped smopking in our flat, she always went out to the balcony. When i was 12 or so, i asked for a drag. I hated it and coughed for a very long time, so i knew it's not for me. When i was about 23 i was working as a security guard on festivals. We were going at night from one festival to the next. My collagues(except the driver of course) bought some cola and whiskey, so we drank. I wasn't THAT drunk, but i had a pretty good mood. And that's when it happened. A colleuge lit a cig and it's smoke blew into my face. At first i almost shouted at him to stop it becuase it's coming right at the back of the car, but for my surprise it felt nice. I even told him about it, so he lit another cig and gave it to me. I FUCKING LOVED IT. And i smoked like a pro XD, i've been told that i was smoking so naturally. I guess becuas i've seen it a lot from my mom and other people as well. Anyways. for a VERY long time, almost 2 years, i only smoke with some alcohol or coffe, and even then only 1 a day. But later we hit kinda rock buttom, and it was actually a lot cheaper to have a cig or two for dinner than to buy food. After i got a new job where the salary was a lot better, i couldn't smoke less, cus i was a security guard, which if fucking boring. Even tho i started 12 hours shifts, i smoked like 30 cigs that time. But for some reason, i cut it back. No idea why, but i barely smoke 6-10 cigs a day. I don't really plan to quit, becuase i don't feel any bad consequence. It's just waaaay too much pleasant after a dish. I swear smoking after eating is almost as good as eating its self :D.

many of the things i do with my life are things others don't deem desirable. it's just not about other people. i smoke like twice a week because i personally enjoy it. there are many things other people do that i wouldn't enjoy. it's just a basic matter of taste

I wound up smoking in high school because the people I hung around with did it. As dumb as that the the desire to conform can be a powerful thing and those people were way more interesting than the other cliques at that school.

I grew up around smokers in an unstable household. It wasn't until I realized I was trans and the having to keep that secret hidden, that I needed to find something to cope with. I have a history of abusing alcohol, self harming, and eating disorder like behaviors growing up. Smoking ended up becoming my go to so I didn't fall back into those other bad coping skills. Getting disowned by my family for being outed as trans and having friends help me out, ended up being the thing I ended up giving up smoking since I no longer had that heavy weight on my back to deal. I want to say it's been 3 or 4 years since I last smoked

Maybe some of us do not care what the rest of you think. Has that ever crossed your mind?
