  Back then:

  > be 12
  > see cowboy jack on TV
  > see the protagonist always smoking lucky strike
  > get a pack of cigs from the older kids
  > smoke it as a joke
  > get addicted to it
  > life-time smoker created
  > parents beat the shit out of me
  Am I as cool as you, Mr. Cowboy Jack?
  

  Now:

  > be 13 year old edgelord
  > idolize cartman in south park
  > hate parents for being assholes
  > they not taking you seriously because you're a kid
  > see package of cigs
  > it has "not to be sold over 18" written on it
  > come up with idea
  > get a pack of cigs from the few older kids who still smoke
  > smoke it as a joke
  > get addicted to it
  > life-time smoker created
  > other kids make fun of me by sending the suicide hotline to me 
  Am I as cool as you, Eric Cartman? Am I a real adult now, mom and dad? Also fuck you Anita Sarkeesian for wanting to ban video games!

    I’m sure they exist but I’m having a hard time believing any significant amount of 13 year olds are idolizing Cartman. When I was young, we all just thought Cartman was funny…but it was more a laughing-at-him funny, no one thought his actions were admirable lol

  Tried in high school. I wanted to be able to smoke even if i didnt have or couldnt smoke weed. Thankfully a couple days in cigarettes made me vomit and I stopped without looking back. Wish I had been able to do that the first time alcohol made me vomit.

  Because dying from smoking weed isn’t available in all places…

  Smoking not only kills you, but those around you too.

  I still don’t understand why they don’t outright ban cigarettes entirely.

  Most smokers want to quit or at least they say they do.

  Quit that shit. Maybe relapsed once or twice and still beat myself over it.

  However, I’m probably not quitting weed for the foreseeable future, but I pace myself heavily with that (twice a month max)

  I stopped smoking and had two bacterial infections the first since years. The second one end up in a Pneumonia.

  Is smoking healthy?

  When I get super terrible, a single tablet (2mg) can make me feel better. Doesn’t even make me feel like I need another. Fine for weeks

  They called it a peace pipe for a reason. We’re the ones that went and capitalized on it and made it horrible and deadly addictive.

  Smoking is becoming cool again because seeing a 50 year old man vape is pathetic.

    Yeah fuck him for switching to something not nearly as harmful. What a loser.
