It's actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 32 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand...

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 days ago

I do ketamine every weekend but during the week coffee is what motivates me to come out of bed.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

no thanks we've all seen what constant k-holing can do to a person

Elon Musk famously abuses Ketamine to an insane degree.

Makes me never wanna try the stuff.

[–] mobotsar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, I didn't have to Google who that is.

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Speaking for America, we're deeply sorry about him getting a platform.

Nicotine might help with short term anxiety symptoms, but addictions of all kinds tend to make anxiety worse overall and dependent on the addictive substance to not be anxious

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, that's why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)

(I quit smoking luckily, I'm just joking around)

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Sometimes I wish smoking wasn’t so bad for you.

Nothing hit as good as smoking a cig after a stressful day at work and unwinding.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago

I wouldn’t even care about the health hazards at this point, given the future we’re all looking at, if smoking didn’t make you stink I’d start back today

[–] village604@adultswim.fan -4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nicotine, by itself, really isn't that much more addictive than caffeine.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As a smoker, that's a fucking lie.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Did you not read my comment? I said nicotine by itself, not cigarettes.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Vapes are addictive af, what are you talking about?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not physically addictive, no. The physical addiction to nicotine lasts 3-7 days, while caffeine is 7-14.

It's not the nicotine that has you truly hooked, it's the habit. It's the fact that it's always on you and you can often hit it as much as you want.

Back before shitty closed disposable systems became popular, people regularly dropped to 0 nicotine without any trouble besides some cravings for a few days (which were about the equivalent of caffeine withdrawals).

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Have you stopped smoking or drinking coffee? One is way harder, let me tell you. They are both habits, but nicotine is way more mentally pervasive.

You milage may vary but stopping smoking was way harder than coffee. For me, personally.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's the habit, not the substance. Smoking or vaping integrates into your life way more than caffeine.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

Or -and hear me out- it is because it is more addictive. That helps the integration process.

[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm way more addicted to vapes than cigarettes. Only reason I ever touch smokes is when I can't afford a 30$ vape and can only swing 7$ for a pack to get by.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 4 days ago

Go with an open system and a bottle of eliquid. More of an upfront investment, but with a refillable system you can adjust your nicotine levels much easier, and it's significantly cheaper in the long run.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Whilst you're kind of joking (I hope!) on the health benefits, I would say that deriving some enjoyment from all manner of small pleasures is a pretty good way to keep one's mental sanity.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I was thinking that the joke part was about the ciggie rather than the coffee.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, there are no heath benefits when it comes to smoking. It's just a way to get some feel good chemicals in our brain which we only need because of the addiction and how fucked the world is right now.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

Also, nicotine is self-medication for a lot of undiagnosed ADHD folks. So, there are health benefits. Far outweighed by the health drawbacks though. At least for smoking to get the sweet, sweet nicotine.
