    I watched my dad slowly starve to death from cancer cigarettes gave him, so no, cigarettes don’t “rule”.

    No, cigarettes don’t rule! They’re bad for your health, also messes with your HRT if you’re trans.

    I used to date a cam girl [insert “it’s not dating if you’re paying her” joke here] and one of her most reliable clients was a dude who just wanted to watch her smoke a cigarette (while fully clothed) in silence. Every Tuesday at 5:15pm, he’d log on, buy 15 minutes of private time, (IIRC it was $50 for 15 minutes), watch her smoke her cigarette, tip $200, and vanish until the next week.

    He was unironically one of her favorite clients, simply because she got to wrap up in a shawl and treat it like a smoke break. She was primarily a stress smoker… And she really hated the job. But the money was good; If she had a string of good clients, she could pay her rent and bills in about 5 hours of work, so the rest of it was purely disposable income. She only worked like 20-30 hours per month, but drove a fully paid off BMW. So she’d usually log on around 1:30pm on Tuesdays, which meant his cigarette request was at the halfway point in her 5 hour cam session.

    The first time they met, he asked if she smoked. She said sometimes, but mostly when she was stressed. He asked if she had a pack. She didn’t, but the corner store was only a 15 minute round trip. So he tipped her $50, she went and got that pack, then came back and got the $250 for smoking one. She always said that was the easiest $300 (minus the cost of the pack) she ever made.

        I never smoked but dang I could go for a nice upper decky lip pillow right now, yum

        But I won’t, because once I have one, I want another one, and another one, and then weeks have gone by and I have a stack of empty cans and why do I even need this stuff again? Stupid drug.

          Does nicotine pouches have downsides? I mean what are the collateral effects, cancer etc? I knew that nicotine only caused addiction.

          Nicotine is a hell ofa drug btw, but i just love the gesture of a cigarette. I feel like fucking Sean Connery in 007

            Yes. Nicotine pouches are, to put it mildly, really fucking awful for your mouth. They erode tooth enamel, decay gums, cause mouth and throat cancers, etc…

            It will harm your enamel, it will dissolve the tissue around your lips – and also cancer. Ofcourse

      Biggest reason I was never interested in tobacco or weed. My asthma was pretty bad when I was younger and smoke was one of the big ones for triggering an attack.

    If I get to play with the toe beans, I’ll go to the store and buy you a whole pack. Tsch… just don’t smoke them around me.
