Benefits of smoking cigarettes?

Lappland@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – -100 points –

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?

I'm not addicted I could quit if I wanted to.

I stopped telling myself that twenty years ago... at one point or the other, even I couldn't believe it any more.

you clearly just want to keep smoking, skill issue

Prove it. Quit for a month. Then you'll have proven you're not addicted. And by that time you'll also have realized that you don't really need it after all.

OP probably couldn't even quit for a week, let alone a month. They'd have a "hard" day and give themselves a pass or some shit.

How do you know? They may be different from your average smoker

Same, I could quit Lemmy if I wanted to. I just don't want to be bored so I spend 24 hours a day doom scrolling Lemmy. I'm totally not addicted!
