Lately, I've been wondering why people use drugs and smoke.
To de-stress? To make friends? Just to have fun? It seemed cool? If you have tried drugs or cigarettes why do you do it? If you haven't, why do you think others use them? Are there any alternatives to using drugs/smoking, that will give a similar outcome? Like say, finding a hobby or joining a club? I'm seriously just curious. I'm not judging. Nothing harsh please |

some people smoke cigarettes to lose weight. it curbs their appetites, i think.
my grandma started smoking in her 30s because of stress and she hasn't stopped since. she's healthy and nearing her 80s to this day. weird, haha. |

WHAT? Cigarettes makes you gain weight.It makes it more difficult to exercise because your heart and lungs are less healthy thus making you tire more easily. You do gain weight after you quit smoking too though because you end up snacking to fulfill your cravings... so it's kind of a lose/lose scenario unless you don't smoke at all.  My friends who do pot mostly do it for fun and to escape reality. My town is the absolute most boring hick town you will ever live in. And because it's so boring, people have taken up a profound interest in pot. I mean, I know at least a dozen people who are either sources of the chief leaf or know sources. So ... I guess it's just to get out of the boring every day life. |
