I'm convinced. I'd try a nicotine supplement if I could find one.

God encouraged me to grow tobacco last year so I did. Crops over my head.
Never been a smoker.

Then I learnt that despite smoking rates having crashed, lung cancer rates are still climbing.

As a guy on here posted. Since when has the Government looked out for us?

Anti smoking science is clearly fucking typical bullshit

Also with homegrown tobacco. No added nasty shit chemicals which I'm sure was the worst part of smoking.

Thinking of buying a pipe. Getting older, need more choline. Need help with memory.

Perhaps indeed, God is reaching out to help.

Anti smoking mania was promoted at the time they start promoting enabling drug use. They actually said cigarettes were as addictive as heroin and then set the girls to browbeat old people into quitting smoking. They were creating power tripping sadists.

Couldn't it be taken in other ways, e.g. extracting with butter or oil?

You mean like those nicotine patches or nicotine gum?

[ - ] VitaminSieg 0 points 2 monthsFeb 28, 2024 13:24:12 ago (+0/-0)

I was thinking a pill.

Just slap on a 7mg nic patch

I might try that and see what happens. I used to smoke when I was retarded and hated life, but I never felt like the nicotine had any effect. Quitting was not a problem, and I was up to two packs a day at one point.

He must be talking about smoking cigarettes.

Cigars are fine, right?

Pure nicotine salt is amazing for increasing levels of focus and mental clarity.

It’s quite addictive and difficult to ween yourself off of.

It also is associated with some level of fucked up sperm (that apparently lasts for several months after stopping) so be wary if you are looking to conceive.

I always thought the problem with cigarettes is not the nicotine, but the other ingredients in it that caused the problems. Still it's a nasty fucking habit and vaping is 10x worse.

[ - ] Niggly_Puff 1 point 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 17:34:46 ago (+1/-0)

and vaping is 10x worse.

Vaping makes you look like a cocksucking faggot and you are inhaling metals and shit...all with a strawberry flavor.

How is vaping worse?

[ - ] CasualObserver 2 points 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 20:19:35 ago (+2/-0)

Makes you look gay. I'm sure the number is around 10x.

[ - ] RobertJHarsh 0 points 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 22:46:44 ago (+0/-0)

That and all the metal and shit you inhale. Mostly the faggot part.

How does inhaling the gasses of lightly heated plant material make you look happy and carefree? The immediate relationship isn't apparent.

Cee-gars. Huh.
Pull that tobacco leaf right off the stalk and chew it.
That'll put hair on your chest.

What made you grow that?

I ran my first crop this year, not sure why. But glad I did.

Budding now. Looks amazing alongside my corn.

A tip I picked up. Try and only pick and cure the leaves that are yellow or going yellow.

Bright green means more nitrogen which spoils flavor according to some.

I burned a small cured length. Smelt good. Felt good too, ibstabt high.

No idea yet how to turn cured, crunchy leaves, into... Leather? So that they can be rolled

Maybe I should get a pipe instead

Good. I hope your harvest is huge.

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 23:11:58 ago (+1/-0)

What variety? There are huge differences. I haven't smoked tobacco since giving up Kuda Kreteks, but have looked at leaf sellers online.

Is it legal to grow tobacco for personal use?
In fact, only four states currently allow residents to grow tobacco for personal use. Those states are Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia. If you live in one of these states and you wish to grow your own tobacco, you must obtain a Tobacco Growers License from the state government.

I think cotton has similar restrictions. I lived just above the Amish area in PA, and their tobacco curing barns are everywhere. Essentially, barns for hanging the plants to cure and dry, with every other side board on hinges for ventilation.

That's the spirit. But it's worth knowing if you have a vulnerable spot that could be exploited for nefarious legal purposes.

The Tobacco Tax Act provides for exemptions that allow an individual to: produce and process for his or her own personal use, and not for sale, up to 15 kilograms of raw leaf tobacco per calendar year. buy up to 3 kilograms of raw leaf tobacco for his or her own personal use. -https://www.ontario.ca/document/raw-leaf-tobacco-regulation#:~:text=The%20Tobacco%20Tax%20Act%20provides,or%20her%20own%20personal%20use

A little over 30 pounds? Good to know where the lines are so you don't get taken by surprise.

Now I'm kind of wanting to grow one.

Getting some Bursa seeds. Will make room for a couple and see what happens.

I don't have willpower issues.

Smoke on way to from and on breaks. When I'm not working I typically don't smoke at all unless I'm drinking beers which is rarely.

Cigars are great for when you have time to chill. 10min to work and 15 on breaks not so much.

[ - ] GhostCow 0 points 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 18:33:51 ago (+0/-0)

They aren't cool anymore sadly. Recent polls show like 90% of people won't date smokers. I've had to quit because of that.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 23:00:52 ago (+0/-0)

Sounds like a last resort. Don't give them any indication you exist and your problems are solved without having to inhale smoke.

[ - ] Belfuro 2 points 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 14:09:25 ago (+2/-0)

Nicotine goes through skin.

Just handle it on the plant

Smoking was used to prevent the Black Plague. Even kids smoked: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1079499/

I knew some of this, but some of it a bit of a stretch or imo, minimally affective. Most heavy smokers and vapers are unfit, skinny fat, smell bad and dumb.

I don't know any smoker or vaper that looks the part.

The author also mentions the covids and "long COVID" which heavily discredits him for me.

[ - ] Belfuro 2 points 2 monthsFeb 27, 2024 14:12:03 ago (+2/-0)

We are suggesting that the tobacco isn't the cause of smokers appearances nor health issues
