op smoking pole lmao

do zoomers really smoke cigarettes?

Quit like a month ago without a second thought, and I legit haven't though about it until I saw OP's post
Nicotine is kinda gay. There's a time where it's alright, but eventually your tolerance goes up and it's just not worth chasing that dragon

this isn’t food related, I’m calling the police

Why are unfiltered ciggarettes treated like gold in the US, shit is already expensive enough.

I'm 19 and I do

lucky reds japan (long)

>>18219528
i wasnt smoking for a long time, then i started a new job and now im having one before and after each shift. (still not nearly as bad as the other guys, one of those dudes goes through like 10/day)
either way, i just want flavored cigarettes

I gotta have my parliament full flavors, the local gas station sells them for $9.76 which is definitely too cheap and below the state minimum

I like Peter stokkebye to roll my own. If I’m buying packs i like Turkish royals or camel reds. I used to smoke camel filters when I was depressed but I’m not as into them anymore

>>18219142
Japan
Nothing is regulated.

>>18220041
>Nothing is regulated.

except the places you can smoke

>>18220049
Smoking is only regulated in Tokyo or some places in larger cities
You can smoke anywhere as long as you don't litter.

>>18220049
It's more regulated in the US than it is in Japan honestly

I'm thinking of smoking tobacco by pipe because that's what they do in Lord of the Rings and I read the books recently. Anything I should know before ordering some expensive pipe and tobacco that I'll probably only use once? I've only smoked a normal cigarette once as a teenager to look cool but that was 15 years ago and I don't remember the experience.

>>18220041
even inside a restaurant?

>>18220210
it'll be a ton of hassle anon. There's a good reason why people dont do much of pipe smoking anymore. You should at least try cigs or short cigars(dont inhale for these) to make sure you like the sensation

>>18220210
>tobacco
>only use once
Anon..

>>18219142
also interested in flavored cigs. I know they're popular in japan and I've found a website hitcigars that says they ship to the US but I can't really find anything telling me it's a good website. does anybody have experience with this site or another that will ship flavored cigs in the US?

>>18219146
hhahahaha

>>18219146

fkn rekt

>>18220517
ill bite the bullet and give it a try. this looks nicer than the site i order my test from so it cant be that bad

>>18219456
Yes. I'm the only one of my mates who doesn't smoke.

>>18220517
>>18221296
You've got a pretty high chance of having them nabbed by customs or getting dinged if they're not coming out of a domestic warehouse.

What’s the appeal of smoking? At least booze makes you drunk does it help with your nerves and anxiety? I’m always amazed people will quit heroin and still smoke like a chimney

>>18220210
know that you are a pretty fucking gay

Malboro rollies

>>18221330
i enjoy nicotine. the gum makes my stomach hurt, snus is pretty eh, dip is fine but carrying a spit cup is gross. ciggies are the all around best way to get dat nicotine buzz, plus smoking is just so good sometimes.

>>18219142
I use to smoke newport plats and camel turkish royals daily. You literally cannot beat a Newport, and platinums were my preferred flavor. I bought myself a vape a few years ago and tried it. I didn't really enjoy it much but blowing these big clouds sure tickled my lizard brain. I also tried juul which I found was a good substitute for cigarettes but eventually i went back to smoking newports, then about a year ago I stopped smoking newports entirely. Now I usually stop at the corner store and buy a single black and mild jazz wood tip and smoke it on my walk to work. Sometimes I go to the smoke shop and buy a factory defect cuban or something.
I've been smoking on and off since I was 11 years old. I'm almost 25 now and I'm still not dead of lung cancer. Kind of miffed about that to be honest.

>>18219146
got a dumb chuckle out of me anon good one

>>18219528
So long as you can keep yourself to no more than 1 a day your tolerance won't go up and each cigarette will give you that buzz that you liked in the first place. I try not to smoke anymore than 2 cigs in a week, usually at home after work, and let me tell you, this is the way to smoke. The problem with cigs is all about fighting the urge to keep smoking. Once you've had that first cigarette, no subsequent one will give you that same feeling until after about 24hrs.

>>18220210
don't bother getting an expensive pipe or expensive tobacco. a $15 corncob looks like shit but smokes well, and there are $45 briar pipes that don't look like shit and also smoke well. also be prepared to be disappointed by most aromatic tobaccos. the name should be a clue that they're all about smell and not about taste; most aromatics smell nice but have no taste whatsoever.

LOTR themed corn cob pipe:

non-LOTR, but a good smoking briar pipe:

tobacco:
you may as well try what Tolkien himself smoked, his son says his study was littered with empty tins of this:

and this blend is one of the few aromatics that actually has a good taste, and it's even relatively inexpensive.

Not everyone is weak willed enough to get hooked on cigarettes. Just most people.

>>18221330
The first cigarette after a long time of not smoking does give you a buzz but your tolerance spikes so quickly that only the first cig does. If you can manage to smoke once every 2-3 days it does give quite a high.

>>18221296
I'll keep an eye out in the coming smoking/tobacco threads. I'd love to know if they ship domestically like >>18221323 said, or if they'll make it to you.

>>18219142
>what are you smoking /ck/?
based on the posts I read, I'd say a lot of crack.

>>18220305
Smoking is no longer allowed in most restaurants.
The law doesn't even apply to all but the largest restaurants, but it had to be changed because of criticism from nonsmokers.
Some bars and countryside restaurants still allow smoking, but it is becoming less and less common.

>>18221664
Didn't expect such a good post to my rambling, thanks anon.

>>18219142
>wake up
>ah its a nice morning
>go outside to have a smoke
>few puffs in and have the urge to shit real bad
I HATE THIS FEELING

>>18222813
Caffeine and nicotine stimulate the bowels, drink your coffee first then have a smoke. Or just reschedule your shit.

People who change brands frequently aren't real smokers.

There's no such thing as a cigarette aficionado, y'all are just gay ass teenagers.

>food and cooking

>>18222954
>anons having discussion about something oral and nasal enjoyment affiliated
>NOOOO this IsNT cooKing WHERE IS MY FAST FOOD SHITPOST THREAD

technically coffee and tea isn't "food" either, they are drinks.

>>18222968
Newsflash anon, coffee and tea go into the stomach, not the lungs. They also contain digestible nutrients

>>18222976
>nutrients
both plain tea and coffee literally has 0 calories.
They are drunk for their caffeine content, just like how cigarettes are smoked for their nicotine content. Both chemicals are very similar btw
>hairsplitting this much instead of just filtering smoke threads

>>18222980
>Let's replace the word he used with a different word because it's the only argument I can make.
Tobacco is not food, good luck disputing that

>>18222982
theres chewing tobacco and snus as well.
Then theres no difference versus coffee and tea already.

tobacco threads will always be made on /ck/. I'm not even OP. Its just something a lot of /ck/ posters enjoy on the side, and every real chef I knew was a huge smoker too.

keep on screeching on I guess

>>18222985
>tobacco threads will always be made on /ck/
Yeah we all know jannies are retards and have no concept of topic

I have a cohiba cigar that i was given almost 3 years ago. It was given to me cut and ready to smoke. However, I didn't want to smoke it at the time so I wrapped it in its foil and put it in a glass bottle. So it's been lying like that for almost 3 years now. Is it still good to smoke?

>>18221664
>capstan blue
>st bruno
good choices. I've got both of these stacked pretty deep in the closet.

>>18223138
it's probably pretty dry by now. see if you can find a cigar smoker near you who can rehydrate it, or go to your local cigar shop and get a boveda pack (couple of bucks) and put it in your jar with your cigar for a week to rehydrate it.

up

Based black & mild enjoyer, but jazz is nasty

Is 10 a day a lot? What about 10 every other night? Only when I drink..

>>18222968
Based. Literally just don't post in here. You're probably better off smoking some handrolled tobacco vs you're nasty fucking le epic /sips/ monster , bang shite.

>>18220169
You are entirely incorrect. I travel all over Japan for work, almost every small city, and literally everywhere within 首都圏 has banned smoking outside besides designated smoking areas and now any new shop or restaurant cannot allow smoking inside either, except grandfathered places. Even designated smoking areas are entirely closed in many places due to covid restrictions.
Smoking in Japan will eventually be relegated to outside convenience stores until you are harassed away by other customers. It will be harder to smoke here than in Australia or Hawaii.
