Benefits of smoking cigarettes? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by Lappland@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I'm not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn't believe me and keeps saying that it's actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is actually good for you so that she can stop judging me over it but I can't find any info online to back that up. Can anyone help me find some resources that list the health benefits of cigarettes? Like how nicotine kills germs or anything like that?

Cigarettes are a nootropic which increases your cognitive ability, increases free testosterone, helps with weight loss too.

My grandfather grew his own tobacco and drank a flask of rum and smoked a cigar every day and he lived to 102, don't listen to all the CDC FUD in the thread!

Thank you for supporting me in this. Everyone back in the fifties smoked, even famous people. Its only now that you're there's bad health associated with it.

Why is no one talking about the controlling girlfriend? If - hypothetically - smoking was bad for you, he'd only hurt himself. So why does she care??
