This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I get that it's not for everyone, but damn... still kinda wild to hear people outright hating the experience.
Granted, I started smoking when I was 13. Heard it helped people feel less stressed, so when the opportunity arrived I figured why not give it a try.
Quickly got up to a pack or two a day and loved every drag for nearly 10yrs until my future wife asked me to stop. I quit cold turkey for a few years, but missed it the whole time. Eventually wound up settling on vaping as a compromise.
Tbh, the only part I don't miss is the dent it left in my wallet.
Doesn't it calm people down because the cravings are aggravating them, though?
no, it does actually calma you down when you first smoke, but you quickly build up tollerance so you end up smoking just to calm down the cravings, and eventually you need to ramp up usage
It's very common for people to get dizzy, blood drain from head, followed by cold sweats and even passing out. I've smoked for like 20 years now at 37 and I remember 3 kids who passed out just like I described smoking in highschool.
Turns out the dizziness affect can be genetic?!?
When I turned 18 I went and bought my first pack of cigs(had been smoking pot for a couple years). Smoking that first cig was the biggest let down after how hyped everyone made it seem. Made it through the first pack and didn't buy another.
