You were most likely chewing it wrong, its nasty shiat but you dont chew it like gum so youre less abused by its crap flavor.

It is possibly the most underrated form of smoking.


You obviously haven't been to the west coast. Hookah bars/smoking are all the rage these days.

I roll my own smokes... I can't smoke regular cigarettes (marlboro, camel), they taste so awful they give me a headache.

That said... the best stuff I've ever had was Amsterdam Shag, but it's so hard to find around here (Charlotte, NC), and when you do it's ridiculously expensive... On occasion I can raid my Dad's stash of Bali Shag... which is like smoking air compared to my usual Bugler or Top.

The Soft Pack Lucky Strikes are great at first but they leave such a heavy after taste on the throat after chaining them down. I usually stick with Marlboro Smooths or Camel Menthol Silvers(Girly I know, but light and mentholy as hell).

But once in awhile I treat myself to one of these bad boys.

I love marbaro reds. I used to smoke djarum blacks, but it was discontinued in the US , now they sell only a generic copy of it which just isnt the same. Ive tried hookah before and imo its like smoking air, while i was smoking it i kept having a craving for a real cigarette.

Ive been smoking about a pack a day (very harsh on my wallet ) for 4 years now and after my first 2 years, i decided to quit. After a month of cold turkey, i decided to light one up because i was in a room and my friends basically created a hotbox of smoke- i just couldnt stop myself. How did you guys quit for so long? I dont understand how you guys can quit so easily ( for those who said it was easy) and how much did you actually smoke?

I smoke pall mall 100s because they are long and burn slow. I smoke like 4 a day unless I am at school. It depends on how much you smoke. if you smoke like 5 a day...im sure you will not lose 15 years of your life. heck, whoever said you lose 15 years of your life is an idiot, a person would only lose 15 years if smoking caused them lung cancer

I don't know whether to laugh at you, or feel sorry for you.

Are you really saying you took nicotine gum to get a slightly better performance in some ladder matches? You do realise this is a game right?



Which some people take serious enough to travel across the world and compete for thousands of dollars for, and this person might want to be one of them.

Perhaps you're forgetting what website you're on?


I'm not at all, but it's laughable that you think it's okay to compete on the battle.net ladder, and take nicotine gum as a stimulant. Whatever you say, this guy is willing to take a highly addictive substance on the off chance that it might improve his ladder results, but hey, it's Starcraft, who cares!!

Fair enough if he was playing for thousands of dollars, and took some sort of energy stimulant, I can see the idea behind that.



As a medical student, I can assure you that your fear of stimulants is unfounded. Caffeine is another effective stimulant widely used, and comparable to nicotine. As for the addictive properties of nicotine gum - I chewed 30 of the little buggers, and I didn't develop any kind of addiction.

But once again, nicotine really doesn't help my Starcraft flow. Neither does caffeine, for the record.

This is a horrible thread.

This thread helps make money for the death and money mongers of the tobacco industries.

Great fun smoking!

I like the occasional cigar or pipe, but only rarely. When my dentist can tell that I've smoked once even after 3 months and my girlfriend can taste it.... I don't wnat to smoke very much cuz' I like healthy mouths, not lying to health professionals or getting "ughs"from them, and getting kisses. :3

You really need to take a page out of Tyler's book. Actually just take the book.

I've never smoked a cigarette but hanging out with friends smoking the hookah is just a great time . Also it's legal which is nice, and if you work for somewhere that drug tests what else are you gonna do?

I gotta hookah at home, with some apple tobacco it's one of the smoothest things to enjoy with a beer or two and some mates in front of the TV.

I smoked for 10 years and have recently started to give it up as I'm trying to get fit again, but I still socially smoke with friends at parties and such but don't smoke on my own or in the car anymore.

Gl hf to those that do, I'm not one to judge. Don't listen to the haters

This site has a huge minor base.

An addiction to smoking unlike alcohol and cannibus is for a lot of people an unbreakable addiction.

Quiting smoking has been likened to heroin and meth for good reason.

Promoting "tasty" Tobacco products is a great thing to put forth in the world.

I just started smoking recently actually (I just turned 18 about 6 days ago). I really have no desire to smoke cigarettes at all, but since I've turned 18, I've smoked from a hookah 3 times. A lot of my friends do it, and there are a ton of hookah bars here where I live. But i was just curious, is smoking from a hookah addicting like smoking from cigarettes? Also is smoking from a hookah worse for you than other methods? I was just curious because smoking at the hookah bars with my friends have been pretty fun so far

After reading those pipe smoking articles purely out of curiosity, I now really really want to start pipe smoking.

For reference, I don't smoke tobacco now and haven't in the past

I hate to break it to you, but taking nicotine to enjoy a game more is significantly more reasonable than almost every other reason anyone starts to consume it, in any form.
