Message: [QUOTE="ScooperNova, post: 4633141, member: 91549"] That title sounded really good. I quit smoking a pack a day two weeks ago but I have this fantasy of smoking one cigarette here and there and it's dangerous. I bummed one cigarette from my neighbor on day 3 and it wasn't all that great and nothing since. I'm still on nicotine though. It does have an immediate calming effect, and other nicotine effects. Combine this with the physical habit of hand to mouth, and it's a mighty addictive substance and delivery method. I try to remember that cigarettes are a poor choice and therefore not an optimal intellectual decision and let that be my guide. There are so many reasons to not smoke and everyone is educated on the health risks. $6 a day adds up as well. Don't smoke kiddos! I promise if you've never had a cigarette, smoking one will not help you play poker. If you're addicted and feeling flustered, it probably will have a calming effect (but at what cost). [/QUOTE]
