I used to smoke on smoking breaks b/c I was nervous around the people who happened to smoke. They all looked relaxed while flicking that cigarette in the air and then putting it back in their mouths and puffing out like a fire breathing dragon. It was total peer pressure.

I don't really smoke....... :oops:

I liked to smoke rollies, the whole making of them and lighting up and stuff was like a little stim or a ritual.

I'm in the process of quitting now and doing a very good job with it (went down to a packet a month lately).

there is no doubt it increases creativity, creative thoughts, painting or anything for creativity

Ah, reductio ad Pinkfloydium. Creativity is pre-existing; the use of marijuana has no effect on it. If it did, every stoner would be selling hit albums, not just the few that actually make it in real life...

creativity is about interpreting your surroundings and translating it to art. marijuana changes your perception of the world around you and also changes other parts of the mental function which results in more creativity.

and no, not every stoner would be selling albums...just the ones who make hit records...and they are.

I quit smoking last month. However, I couldn't manage to smoke more than 13 cigarettes/day. Average was half a pack. The only thing smoking really did for me was removing me from a stressful situation so I could regroup....then my chest started aching and I coughed a lot.

If anything, I learned to reevaluate coping mechanisms now and then.
