Who here smokes

Just curious. I do myself.

I use to a lot for 5 years but went cold turkey for a year and bow can't stand the taste of it or smell. I still smoke sometimes when I drink though but not as much as I use to (used to buy two packs on the night I planned to drink and maybe on avg half to a full pack a day depending on mood).

So you're off the fags a year, tell me - how long did it take for you to get over the cravings, or do you still get them?

Another general question here if anybody would care to answer it - does smoking negatively affect hair loss?

I do not smoke but my wife does. She finds it extremely difficult to quit. Its very addictive and expensive.

You raise a good question of what it does to our hair. I dont know :confused:

I should go research it.

This is just an educated guess but if smoking results in poor circulation then your hair might not be getting as many nutrients as it could be if you did not smoke.

I didn't have cravings for it. Smoking always gave me a bit of dizziness and nausea and a sour taste in my mouth but i just did it socially since I was always on campus.

It became a habit which is why it was hard to stop. Standing at the bus stop, waiting for class, standing in a group, I jsut needed smoething to have ni my hand. An oral fixation. I never get cravings at all. It was easier for me cause when I'm back at home with parenst, I don't smoke because my parents would kill me if I smoke and I'd feel shameful even if they didn't care. After I stopped, yes, it hit me when doing nothing I felt like I wanted to hold a cig so it looked like I had something to do (anxiety maybe?) but the habit of holding the cig stopped and I don't ever think about smoking or buying cigs even. When I'm on campus however and I meet buddies who stayed back, seeing them smoke makes me feel like having one but I remind myself how it made me feel and how the taste is disgusting.

That's also another reason aprtially for why I qit smoking. When I got on the medications, I figure if I'm doing this for my hair, I might as well go healthy and see how far it takes me in my progress rather than just taking meds and doing something that negatively affects hair. I for one, don't know if smoking affects hairloss but I felt like if I still smoked while taking meds, it's like half assing the treatment.

I seen lots of arab guys smoking and hipsters from year one and stills ee those guys on campus frmo time to time and they still smoke. Their hair looks the same. So I'm assuming its genetics.

just a few a day, helps relieve stress

Smoking doesn't really affect hair loss but I don't see why you would want to continue. At the very least, switch to e-cigs since you still get the nicotine but without damaging teeth, skin, respiratory health, etc.

Hmmm, I used to smoke regularly, but i stopped about a month back. I guess i was afraid that it was causing me to loose hair, and there is an article on belgravia that supports this. Neways, healthwise i feel better stopping smoking, my lips had darkened , now they are back to light pink.

I don't understand why more smokers don't switch to e-cigs. Like you say, no damage, and they can pretty much smoke them anywhere they want to.

It's not the same. I don't smoke anymore but when e-cigs were introduced to me while I was a smoker, it didn't have the same appeal. I liked watching the cigarette burn and holding something that had the spongy filter, and it just felt real. The e-cig does taste good cause you can switch flavours, like the hookah, but to be honest, on a night of drinking, an e-cig just doesn't cut it.

Although I will never touch a cigarette again, but I will admit that those were fun times.

Only the green stuff once in a while, unless I'm drunk in which case I will consume anything that's put in front of me.

cannabis is not a hardcore drug, its recreational at best. There is no addiction to the substance, and it has been proven to be better than alcohol and cigarettes in terms of health issues.

Highlander is a psycho with serious mental issues

And weed is awesome, such a pleasant drug. I smoked cigs for a couple of years but quit, however I still find myself have the odd one, even more so if I am out drinking on a night out. Still smoke weed though when I get the chance.

Opiates are the best. Kill my sex-drive and make me feel truly at peace with the world and myself. It's a shame they can be so debilitating and life-ruining.

Both parents smoked growing up. It was quite a different world when I grew up. Men and women walked through supermarkets smoking cigarettes, cigars, and pipes while shopping. People smoked in restaurants and crushed their cigarettes out on their plates. I used to dread sitting next to a booth in a restaurant having to smell a smoldering cigarette left by someone. Years ago, George Harrison made the comment that cigarettes are more addicting than heroin.

Hair restoration doctor, Sharon Keene wrote a series of hair growth articles in the hair transplant trade magazine called "Forum". She cited cigarette smoking as detrimental to healthy hair growth. Cigarettes raise testosterone levels and constricts blood vessels. These were epigenetic identical twin studies. On the other hand, there are a lot of men and women who have smoked for years who have great heads of hair. So cigarettes most likely only have a 3% to perhaps an 8% detrimental effect on hair. Just my guesstimate.

Hey man cig smoking is is bad not only for the hair growth but it has very bad impact on our health. I don't understand how people can play with their health.

I do not smoke but my wife does. She finds it extremely difficult to quit. Its very addictive and expensive.

Has she tried Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking? That worked for me.

I used to smoke like a mo-fo, but gave u awhile ago. I do wonder about the link between smoking and baldness, because I don't know it's coincidence or not, but of my friends from high school that I'm still in contact with, the ones who smoked cigarettes have all become bald to some extent (including me), and the ones who haven't all still have full heads of hair.

I do not smoke and I do not recommend you to do it

I do rarely

work,study and home - and all those things will go easy if we`ll take care of ourselves.

i'm smoking about 20 years

sometimes

Smoking only weed:)
No cigarettes or hookah for a long time

Before we go further, let’s clarify what CBD is and why, from a branding perspective, it’s the polar opposite of “smoking of doobie.” https://nobullshitseeds.com/best-cbd-oil/

I have thrown this case for 8 years already. I just realized one day that it was difficult for me to climb to the second floor, although I was 26 and it was difficult to realize it, but thank God I did it!

I've been smoking only marijuana for quite some time now, but I hate regular cigarettes.

I have finally quit smoking, awesome feelings!

I often indulge in a good joint of marijuana to calm my nerves in this frenzied rhythm of life. In the past, it was enough for me to smoke it 2-3 times a week to feel relaxed and calm.

I believe that smoking is bad for the body. But still - this is everyone's decision

All cannabis products are really great way to relax or could use for recreation. Right now there are a lot of big players on th market but my advice is to check some information about Heavy Hitters . Some information you can check here https://hhdelivered.com/ and also find where to buy

Good afternoon, smoking is a very harmful thing for health. You know, for a while I also had an addiction, and I had no idea how to get rid of it. However, one day I made a firm decision to use this platform https://blessedcbd.co.uk in order to buy CBD, which helped me get rid of addiction! I hope you will find it useful too!.
