Smokers, how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?
I no longer smoke but I can still answer your question... it has only been around a year since I quit and still have the craves... On an average working day, I used to smoke around 40 sticks. If I would drink after that working day, add another 40 sticks just for that drinking session alone so I would be smoking on average around 60-80 sticks a day. In my case, it wasn't about pleasure anymore... smoking for pleasure was just waaaay back in the early days of my smoking when I was just a "social smoker". When I got addicted and became a chain smoker, it was to keep my body and mind "normal"... I couldn't work without it. Unless I had a lit stick in my mouth, the only thing that is going around my head is "I need a cig now!" and i won't start work unless I get that stick. Once that stick is finished, I immediately reset to the "needing a stick" mode again and won't get to focus 'til I get that cig. Same goes with drinking. Every time I took a sip of beer, I immediately felt bloated and would only be relieved with a cigarette. 1 sip = 1-2 puffs of smoke. I could not enjoy drinking without smoking. Once I ran out of cigarettes, it's either I buy another pack or I stop my drinks. After I eat, i had to smoke or else it felt like my stomach would explode from the food... So in a nutshell, it was more of a "need" rather than "pleasure" since i thought it helped me focus. It was only when I realized it did the exact opposite-- that it takes my focus away and gives it back only when I satisfy the crave that it I saw it to be a burden and stopped it before it did more damage to my already bad lungs. I am still regretting that first stick I tried as a kid because i now have to deal with the difficult cravings every time they come up-- not to mention regretting the amount of money i wasted. =( If you are thinking of starting, i would strongly suggest you don't. Your body won't look for something it hasn't tasted. I started with smoking thinking it was cool-- big mistake on my part. =(
When I smoke weed alone or with others I always over think about everything and zone out, how can I stop this from occurring?
A2A. Your not supposed to. Don’t want that feeling? Cannabis is not for you.Cannabis is a natural herb. We know our herbs can heal. We threw this one away, incorrectly. Made it illegal, used for recreation. Used badly, it is a problematic drug.The purpose of cannabis is to relax parts of your mind so you can go exploring. You have things in your mind that you need to resolve. Cannabis is helping you do that, but you want to hang with your buddies.Cannabis can be used for recreation, at risk, but its primary purpose, like LSD, is to help and repair the brain. You need to resolve those inner thoughts. It feels like cannabis speeds you up to much. Start the process sober.You have things in your mind to resolve. Emotional memories from bad experiences. Look within. Heal the brain. Its very plastic and will help you. Drugs are unnecessary. They can be helpful if used right.Ask around “How do you feel on weed”. Many different answers. Many different brain types and needs. A cannabis high is not a chemical induced high(altered consciousness) like crack cocaine. It works with the mind to give you what you need.A very misunderstood drug. As are all our psychedelics.
Is it "sad" to smoke weed alone?
No, it's not "sad". You don't want to be smoking just to be cool or giving lectures on how bad smoking is. It's an enlightening experience every time so just enjoy it. Once I'm high I just like to do the things I love most. I completely understand smoking alone, I myself have severed ties with many friends honestly because I hate that whole "stoner" or "pothead" clique. Just have fun with it and make sure your grades or other responsibilities aren't disregarded.
Is it pathetic to smoke weed alone?
I just got into a big argument with my brother and sister because they said that "If you smoke weed alone, that makes you pathetic because if you don't do it with friends and you don't be stupid and have fun then there's no point, it makes you a pathetic loser if you do it alone." and my argument was "Smoking weed is not only a party drug but it is also a lifestyle, and you can smoke it alone and just sit back and enjoy the feeling, if you come back after a long days work, then smoke a bowl to relax, that doesn't make you pathetic..." But they still don't agree give me your feedback so I can share it with them.. Thanks :)
Smoking cigarettes, why do people smoke?
This is something I never understood. I have always hated the smell and cigs itself, but once I started working at a store and had to sell cigarettes to people it has made me even more sick, and I hate it even more. I see people come in that buy two cartons of cigs, and its like over $100! Why would you blow your money on cigarettes? Or let alone buy 6 packs at a time? They come in and they smell horrible. Some of the heavy smokers come in and I want to die because they smell so bad. You can smell them from a mile away. I have even seen people attatched to oxygen tanks while they shop and they still smoke and buy cigarettes! why? and some people that come in complain when a coupon doesn't work and raise hell about a sale not going through, they are so concerned about saving every penny but they have no problem spending all their money on cancer. what is up with people? you smell horrid, it stinks up everything, its unhealthy, discusting and a waste of money. why do people smoke?
