Self Improvement

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.

Not a good idea. You never end up addicted on the first cig/puff of a vape, you normally just get sick or cough a shit ton. Your second cig is way better, but still doesn't seal you on the addiction. I smoked socially for months with no issues, smoked a cigarette when I was stressed and it was instantly game over for me. I instantly knew I was addicted after that first great cig. Now I'm pretty hopelessly addicted.
If you ever try it, don't get comfortable with it. And if you really want to try it, I find pipe tobacco and cigars to be higher quality and less addictive than store bought cigs.
I guess I'll have to wait until I get to visit Cuba one day, have an amazing cigar and then never touch them again lol
