smoking cigs is actually pretty harmful

cigars is less so because you're not supposed to inhale the smoke

the redpill is that tobacco itself is actually a very useful stimulant and that nicotine is an extremely powerful nootropic if you know how to use it. Cigs happen to be a shit-tier vehicle, though.

I use nicotine lozenges to reinforce habits such as weightlifting and studying, as well as to improve my performance in high risk activities like piloting aircraft. I also use swedish snus to relax in the evenings.

If you're interested in lots of research on this subject you can find it here

https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine#benefits

in brief:

reaction time is improved, as is inspection time and visual search

pilots’ performance enhanced 4/5 as much as donepezil does; improves late-day piloting

driving performance enhanced

overnight performance on various memory & attention tasks (“These data suggest that when performance is being measured overnight, smokers show little or no impairment, whilst the performance of non-smokers showed performance decrements.”)

boost in IQ was shown in a small sample of smokers

become dependent on a drug to do something you should be able to do through will alone

I understand your intentions, but, if you've never used it. Then there's no reason to start using it now.

I hope everyone follows >>13032664 example and doesn't even consider it. I hope everyone can learn to be as willful as you, anon.

Recently quit cigarettes. Started when I was 13. Easily the most retarded this g I have ever done, even compared to drug usage. Drugs were extremely easy to quit compared to cigs. However I do miss the more tasteful forms of tobacco like pipes and nasal snuff. Still would never recommend people even try nicotine containing substances.

I feel towards nicotine the same way I feel towards caffeine. It's not neccesary and I don't wish to become dependent on it so I won't use it.
