Cigarette

My friends is smoking about 5 cigarettes a day
Newports I think
Is that too much?
And I don’t know if they’re addicted but if they are how long does it take to quit?

Well honestly any cigarette smoking is too much. But if you look at it on the average 5 cigarettes a day isn’t as many as most smokers. Quiting is something very different and personal for everyone. If you do have the strength to quit it could take many many many tried or for some it may not be as difficult. It’s more up to the individual and the quiting method they choose.

Alright, so i don’t want any lectures because they’re pointless and i wont listen. Anyway, so i heard somewhere that being used to cigarette smoking, which i am, makes smoking weed easier because you will be used to inhaling smoke already. Is it true?
i don’t want to know about addiction, just a simple question: will i cough any less?

Yes, learning to inhale cigarette smoke will make it easier to inhale pot smoke. However, one should not begin smoking cigarettes as practice for weed. Definitely not worth it.

When ever I play basketball Im out of breath really quick. If Im not smoking cigarettes and only smoking an e-cig will my ability to run for long periods of time increase???

I have a friend with asthma and COPD, who bought the Ecig. There are several kinds and she got the one without nicotine, but has had to wear the nicotine patches too. She says she’s already feelng better and thinks she’s really going to love it. They have them in our area now, but the dadgum starter kit is $69 plus tax…I would hate to pay that much and it not work dontcha know? She said they make them in nicotine free, regular, menthol, and low. You get a battery and 5 cartridges to start with. She said she was told it’s the tar and other chemicals in cigs that do the harm, not the nicotine?

She said she loves it because you can smoke it in places where smoking has been banned, there isn’t any smoke and no smell. She said there’s an atomizer that comes with it if you want the visual effects of smoke.

i find its stronger than smoking normal cigarettes but is it more harmful?

Well in general all smoking is harmful.
Most people find that normal roll-ups are stronger than mass produced epsecially if there’s no filter. But i think it might because whatever brand of cigarettes your using the tobacco from might have a higher amount of nicotine. You’ll have to compare the chemicals used in mass produced cigarettes and the products for roll-ups.

I smoked for 8 years and have smoked pot from time to time (2 or 3 times a year). I recently quit smoking cigarettes about 4 months ago and have never been happier. I still would like to smoke pot time to time with friends, but I am afraid it will bring back the craving for cigarettes. Does anyone know if this will happen?

yes this is quite possible. I quit smoking cigarettes for 1.5 yrs and pot also, then started smoking grass again within two months i was back on cigs again too.

I’m a freelance writer interested in the rising price of sin taxes? The basic angle is that smoking cigarettes is not that much cheaper than smoking pot in some municipalities.

I can give you a link for the US but not for the countries of the world.

This is a link to a map of the US with the state taxes of each state. It also says how much the federal taxes are on cigarettes. At the bottom, it lists the areas that also have a city tax (for example, NYC residents have a federal tax of $1.01, a state tax of $2.75 and a city tax of $1.50)
http://www.tobaccofreekids.org/research/factsheets/pdf/0222.pdf
These taxes are only for pre-made cigarettes.

This is another great site that lists the tobacco taxes per state. It also includes taxes on loose roll your own tobacco. As you can see, the Federal tax increase last year was a 2,200% increase. The taxes on roll your own are now higher than the retail value of the products.
http://ryorevolution.com/ryo-tobacco-tax.html

There is currently a bill proposed in the House that would raise the taxes on pipe tobacco from $2.83 per pound up to $24.78 per pound (again, this would make the taxes higher than the retail value of most of the products).

If you click on "Full Text" you can read the bill. It’s a short read.

Besides being addicted, I mean.

How can quitting smoking cigarettes help someone mentally, given they do not drink or do any other type of drug?

Aside from addiction, nicotine has similar effects to caffeine, so it doesn’t really affect a healthy person mentally any more than a cup of coffee would.

Nicotine and other chemicals like harman and norharman (which act as potent monoaminooxidase inhibitors) in cigarette smoke can normalise brain activity and relieve depression, so you find the vast majority schizophrenics smoke and some people suffering from depression may subconsciously self-medicate with tobacco. Of course, there are less harmful ways of treating schizophrenia and depression, but generally quitting smoking has no positive mental effects.

I certainly understand why cigarette smoking is taboo, even beyond its health hazards. But given that marijuana smoking is much more dangerous than cigarette smoking (smoking one joint is equivalent to smoking five cigarettes, in the last report I read), why is it considered fashionable and cool?

Cigarette smoking was only considered cool before they knew what horrible effects it had. As for pot, it is NOWHERE near as harmful as cigarettes for you. Cigarette related illness causes tens of thousands of deaths a year, while marijuana causes almost none. Anyone who thinks that you can’t live while smoking pot is a narrow minded idiot, unable to admit that marijuana should be legalized, just like those idiots that run this country. If you don’t believe me, check this out http://norml.com/index.cfm?Group_ID=3418. There are no cases of marijuana overdoses EVER, while thousands die from alcohol poisoning and drunken driving every year. I maintain a 3.8 GPA and am working towards a Masters in education, so don’t say that it "rots your brain." Marijuana should be legalized, and tobacco should be banned. Every country that has decriminalized marijuana has lower usage rates among its people than the US and the tens of millions of dollars that we spend on the "drug war" could be used to enhancing education and helping the homeless. Our whole country is screwed up and I feel bad for those of you who don’t see that.

Does one contain more or less chemicals? And what are the differences between actually smoking cigars and cigarettes? Is one actually better for you than the other? And is there a difference in the way you smoke a cigar or cigarette?

they differ in size and in tobacco use. Cigar smoking causes a variety of oral cancers, including cancers of the lip, tongue, and oral cavity, and also the associated cancers of the pharynx, esophagus, and larynx. Many of these types of cancers have extremely low cure rates. For example, only 11 percent to 14 percent of patients with esophageal cancers survive five years after diagnosis.
