Benefits of smoking cigarettes?
(lemmy.world)
My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I'm not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn't believe me and keeps saying that it's actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is actually good for you so that she can stop judging me over it but I can't find any info online to back that up. Can anyone help me find some resources that list the health benefits of cigarettes? Like how nicotine kills germs or anything like that?
Have you looked at this from her standpoint? Cigarettes cause cancer, and second-hand smoke can lead to cancer as well, or at least serious health issues. Her being with you in the long run may mean she might get it, or you get it, or both of you get it. All outcomes are really bad for both of you, physically, emotionally/mentally.
I’m not sure how serious you two are. But if you are, maybe start to work on it. If you say you can stop, prove it to her and yourself. If you say you don’t have an addiction, test that theory, for both you and her. If you want to meet her half-way, maybe consider cutting back or switching to vape.
that's great advice "don't smoke this natural substance instead inhale this concoction of mystery chemicals assembled as cheaply as possible in a country that can't even make safe baby formula"
I'll trust mother nature over whatever give vape users (vapists?) popcorn lung.
Poison ivy is natural. Disprove that.
there is no benefit to rubbing poison ivy on yourself, there is to smoking. How is it that hard to comprehend. You're using the same bad faith arguments conservative "drug warriors" in the united states use.
