What does cigarette smoking do for people?
I've never smoked, but I've been around people that do. What do people feel during/after smoking? It doesn't seem to make people high or hallucinate or anything. It maybe mildly relaxes them?

Being a stimulant, I used it for many years to self-treat my ADHD. I did the same with caffeine. Coffee and cigarettes got me through highschool.
Edit: The reason you see people in movies smoke after sex is because it combats the post bang sleepies. It also contributes to the high.
When I was smoking I found that they enhanced the effects of other drugs. Since it's a stimulant it keeps you from getting sleepy when you're drinking or smoking weed. With coffee I found it smoothed out the jitters and let me work a lot longer without needing food.
That being said, the constant stink on my clothes and the huge price of cigarettes got me to switch to vaping, and I'm reducing the nicotine concentration to help me kick it entirely.
From experience, once you're genuinely ready to stop and you're already down to 0mg, at some point you'll just randomly get too lazy to change your coil and that'll be it.
Thanks! It's always encouraging to hear people who've made the journey
I haven't smoked in years, but in the off chance I go out for a beer, I will usually bum at least one from somebody.
It is both a stimulant AND a relaxant, depending on dosage. AFAIK, unique in that regard.
