        oral fixation. it’s a substitute for all the genitalia we’d like to be sucking on instead but can’t, paradoxically because we are sucking on pacifiers to ease that pain.

      Different receptors. Also, cigarettes are way more addictive.

      Edit: Did I get pushback for stating that cigarettes are highly addictive?

        cigarettes are horrible though, have you tried that hot new trend of using pacifiers?

          Can’t say I agree. I haven’t smoked regularly now for almost a year, but occasionally just buy a single if I’ve had a beer and have a craving. That’s the nice thing about Latin America, you can buy single cigarettes. I smoke one, feel guilty, and then don’t think about them for a month or so.

          Why anyone would use art for stress relief when heroin exists is beyond me, but ok.

            There’s a tiny chance you may be one of those people that can stay productive on heroin and create great art while on it, so everyone should try it at least once. /S

              I’m not sure why you put the /s. Heroin is on my bucket list. If I get cancer and I’m gonna die anyway. Fuck chemo. Gimme some fun drugs and let me ride it till I break.

        To add to this, if you are not carful around people who smoke both, you can get a big hit of nicotine

          To add more to this: Retail and food service both heavily encourage people to start smoking. Managers give extra breaks to smokers, because the managers all take extra breaks to smoke and “it’s only fair, right?” So the employees start smoking to get the extra breaks. Because nobody wants to be the only server on the floor during the peak Sunday post-church lunch rush, getting screamed at by geriatric cunts about their food taking too long, when every single one of your coworkers is outside the back door showing each other memes while puffing on Marlboro reds.

          And so those employees start smoking to get the extra breaks. And then those employees become the managers a year or two later, and continue to only give extra breaks to smokers. Because “well I had to start smoking to get the extra breaks, so they can start smoking if they want the extra breaks too.” And the cycle repeats ad infinitum.

          And a lot of people work retail and food service when they’re in their late teens/early 20’s. Which means a lot of them start smoking early, and then struggle to quit as adults because they’ve smoked for basically their entire adult life.

      Por que no los dos?

      don’t listen my European ass tho

      More euro backwardness

      Why anyone would smoke a joint of sticky bud without a tiny bit of baccy so it burns evenly, or why would anyone smoke a spliff when a bong or pipe is available(outside of multiple people in a social setting
