I can speak as someone who previously smoked for a decade+ and then quit. I started because some friends who smoked offered me one and I was dumb enough to say yes. Horrible. But there was a very nice immediate head rush/high. And then that led to friends continuing to offer cigarettes and me continuing to be dumb. And then addiction takes hold and it goes from there.
I probably didn't actually BUY my own smokes until I'd already smoked more than a carton off of other people offering.
And it is a HARD drug to quit. Still to this day when I smell someone smoking a cig I immediately get the "awww fuck I could really use one of those right now" urges
As a non-smoker, I get that sensation when I smell a cigar or cigarillo - a sweet scent of tobacco.
But cigarettes? What's even to smell? It just smells like an ash toilet
IMO that's part of why so many people (me included) fall for this shit: "there's no way I'll become addicted to this horrendous shit, no harm in bumming another one to look cool".
Yeah I used to think cig smoke smelt like disgusting ass before I smoked. After I smoked it still smells like ass but it smells like GOOD ass
It's like when you're hungover after a rough night and you're not really TOO hungry but you know you should eat something or you're going to suffer even more later today so you go rummaging around in your freezer and eeeeh there's not really much there, but then behind the bag of frozen vegetables there's one lone frozen burrito and oh good fucking LORD that burrito right in this moment is the best 5/5 top quality food you've ever eaten in your entire life. Cigarettes will smell like that burrito forevermore
But if a million flies love to suck on shit, it has to be good, right?
After you smoke cigarettes for a while the smell becomes good to you
Elementary school always warned us that people would offer us free drugs. This whole time, people have joked that no one is going around giving away free cocaine and heroin. Turns out, it was cigarettes they were trying to warn us about
This but unironically lol
Yeah from what I've heard that feeling never goes away. I remember someone who quit smoking telling me how good secondhand smoke smells.
I smoked occasionally while drinking at bars/parties. Bought a few packs to smoke/share. Never smoked outside of those times and at worst it was maybe every other week.
I guess I had a decent addiction tolerance.
