    It’s actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.

      The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand…

      Nicotine might help with short term anxiety symptoms, but addictions of all kinds tend to make anxiety worse overall and dependent on the addictive substance to not be anxious

        Yes, that’s why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)

        (I quit smoking luckily, I’m just joking around)

          Sometimes I wish smoking wasn’t so bad for you.

          Nothing hit as good as smoking a cig after a stressful day at work and unwinding.

            I wouldn’t even care about the health hazards at this point, given the future we’re all looking at, if smoking didn’t make you stink I’d start back today

                Not physically addictive, no. The physical addiction to nicotine lasts 3-7 days, while caffeine is 7-14.

                It’s not the nicotine that has you truly hooked, it’s the habit. It’s the fact that it’s always on you and you can often hit it as much as you want.

                Back before shitty closed disposable systems became popular, people regularly dropped to 0 nicotine without any trouble besides some cravings for a few days (which were about the equivalent of caffeine withdrawals).

                  Have you stopped smoking or drinking coffee? One is way harder, let me tell you. They are both habits, but nicotine is way more mentally pervasive.

                  You milage may vary but stopping smoking was way harder than coffee. For me, personally.

                I’m way more addicted to vapes than cigarettes. Only reason I ever touch smokes is when I can’t afford a 30$ vape and can only swing 7$ for a pack to get by.

                  Go with an open system and a bottle of eliquid. More of an upfront investment, but with a refillable system you can adjust your nicotine levels much easier, and it’s significantly cheaper in the long run.

      Whilst you’re kind of joking (I hope!) on the health benefits, I would say that deriving some enjoyment from all manner of small pleasures is a pretty good way to keep one’s mental sanity.
