    I lot of my friends growing up smoked. Like, my best friends. Most of my family, my mom and all of my older siblings, all smoked.

    When I was something like fourteen or some shit, I took one drag and thought it was the most disgusting shit I had ever tasted on my life and an immensely unpleasant experience. Never touched them again, never even wanted to. It’s honestly one that baffles me.

    Edit, typos

      I always liked the passive smell, and when I first tried it, it tasted great.

      On top of that you do get high from it, and the first times are very strong.

      So, consider yourself lucky, that you don’t like the highly addictive psychostimulant that can be legally bought everywhere. It’s kinda like you would find coffee’s taste and smell disgusting.

          Well, another W for you.

          Although, coffee is much less harmful than nicotine, and its consumption doesn’t have other negative health effects that arise from inhaling toxic smoke.

          At the same time there are clear benefits of coffee usage. So, depending on the perspective, addiction and overconsumption aside, you could consider coffe to be a net positive. Thus, from my point of view, it’s your loss, mate. Hopefully you still get something done in the morning. If only we knew what you’d be capable of if properly coffeinated.
