If you want to smoke - smoke. I don't like those generalizations on what one should do or shouldn't. It's pissing me off to be honest. I hate when somebody tells me what I should do, pointing out what I do wrong etc. I never do that. I have, once very good friends - one is weed addict constantly failing his life and another one is light alcoholic(few beers every day for 6 years makes him one imo). I have suggested them to stop drinking/smoking so much in the past, well, they didn't listen so idgaf. It's their life, I won't constantly butt in trying to save them.

To the OP as I have smoked for a few years, 3-5 cigs/day is addiction. Basically from I have noticed, whenever you feel joy from getting a puff you are addicted to nicotine. Do you remember your first time smoking? Wasn't really pleasant, right? Strong, bad smell, you were probably coughing, but yet you got into it and very quickly you started to enjoy it. I was vaping for past 3 years, but recently bought some tobacco to roll my own cigs like I have always used to. I got dizzy and a bit unpleasant from the nicotine intake as I was vaping very low nicotine solutions, but after a few days of light smoking, it started to be enjoyable and relaxing again.

I don't recommend smoking obviously, it has tons of negative effects, but so does many other things. The biggest downside of cigs is nicotine being extremely addictive. It makes it hard to smoke "occasionally" for most people and leads very quickly to buying more and more of them, but well, this is the very reason why they were made in the first place.

You can also try vaping instead of smoking, at least you won't have to listen to people constantly telling you, that smoking is bad for your health because there is still not enough research done on long-term effect of vaping and for now it's known as much safer alternative to smoking, although you will experience a lot of people posting "gay" memes.

Well, people are also hypocrites overall. They will tell you that smoking is bad all the time only because this is the current "trend". The very same people will also fill their bellies at McDonalds everyday ordering only diet coke and lecturing you if you order a normal one, because as far as they believe, it's "fit". Actually the whole gym, fitness and thousands of food blogs, fb/ig pages mostly lead by either brain-damaged people or smart marketers who are pumping the cash from the niche while they can is another laughingstock.

I have a friend who never smoked, even once. Never tried drugs and to the point of 17 years old, he maybe had a few beers, while back then I was drinking heavily - like 5/6 beers everyday, smoking a pack of UA cigs costing me like ~1.25 USD and living the life at the hood, he had horrible lungs, liver and testicles cancer and he spent 2 years in the hospital. The only reason he is alive is because he was lucky, young and had a will to fight. Now I'm drinking a beer from time to time with him, really cool guy.
The point is it made me realize, that life is pretty random after all and there is no point in restraining yourself from things you want to do, because you never know...
Of course smoking is not the best example to give as it's just a stupid way to blow your money(yes, taxes are HUGE in 1st world countries) and health, but if you really want to smoke then do it. I'm not in position to tell you anything and as I stated before I don't like people that do. Even if you have asked me if you should steal morphine from the hospital and get high everyday I would just state pros and cons(cons only here in this particular example) and leave the ultimate choice to you.

Another thing is, you could either be born in Mongolia and after just living there you could have worse lungs condition than light smoker in Iceland.
You have to note, that also while living the lifestyle of traveling and banging hundreds of women you are bound to get some shit, minor stuff usually, but hey, you are taking the chances, right?
Same with the car wreck etc. You can live minimizing risks, but you have to ask yourself if it is worth it?

Smoking is bad for your health, waste of money, stinks and pisses off people that doesn't smoke, but if it really helps you with your game, boosts your confidence, relaxes you and so on, the smoke. Even if you know, that smoking doesn't really have any impact on those things and it's solely your imagination.

That's the kind of balanced and intelligent answer I was looking for. Thanks.

It's actually full of contradictions and manipulates the reader, imo. But if it helped you then more power to teddy.
Anyway, check your PM.

I would agree that 3-5 cigs a day makes one a smoker, not a light smoker. However, I am with the OP. Though I'm no smoker, the odd cigarette or cigar has the ability to enhance good company, good booze after a fine dinner, or a meditative coffee on a fine day whilst watching young pussy walk by. Though I probably average less than 2 each month, when I do indulge it always improves an occasion for me in a way that far outweighs the risks that accompany it.

I've recently smoked my second cigarette - both times offered to me by women. It greatly enhanced the flow and I actually liked the experience - it had a flavour of taboo-breaking for me

I used to completely avoid any caffeine/alcohol and I'm drinking plenty of strong coffee today and moderate amount of alcohol whenever I feel like it

Once you clear yourself of addictions/attachments/emotional black holes, you can engage with addictive substances without going over

Watch out, watch out. You cannot compare addictiveness of cigarettes with caffeine and alcohol. You seem to throw them all together, as in 'addictive is addictive'. But cigarettes are seriously more addictive than most other substances.

Thanks for the warning. My experience with tobacco is very minimal - a few cigars, a couple of cigarettes, plus some shisha - so I certainly can't access/compare its addictiveness potential to that of alcohol/coffee
