Did you try out nicotine-gums or -patches? I heard they shall help ... some people switch over to vaping liquids to make quitting easier ...

I’ve never smoked either, but I’ve seen how tough it can be for people trying to quit. It's wild how expensive and addictive tobacco can be, not to mention the health risks. If you're ever curious about it, just know there are lots of healthier ways to manage stress, like exercise or hobbies.

Smokers say "tobacco helps you calm down and enjoy life" because they are chemically hooked on a substance to the point where that life quality decreases without it. Not because it improves you from baseline normality. as every cigarette smoker I have met are typically ansy, self deprecating and jittering over every lifes occurances.
That's the addiction talking.
It actually pisses me off when smokers go out of their way to advocate it on non smokers. Like its some miracle cure for stress. Trust me. NOBODY has had a more relaxing life from having picked up the habit. They only have the illusoon they do because they picked up a dopamine stimulator as a habit and cant be happy without it. But truthfully. Who tf is happy with it? Compare every convo you have had with chainsmokers and pot heads.
Now im not advocating either. But marijuana uses do generally seem happier. THC has that effect on the brain. Surveys have shown nicotine abuse actually makes humans more stressed. Higher blood pressure and worse quality of life.
Plus smelling like skunk placenta is never fun. Truly. Cigareettes are a true evil.

Being chainsmoker AND pothead for almost 2 decades now, I can totally agree with everything you wrote here. Smoking tobacco is definitely the worst part of my bad habits and yes, THC has a calming up to euphorizing/inspiring effect on me, which I value an important part of my way of living ... what I NEVER did - and there are millions of smokers feeling the same way - is to advocate for smoking to non-smokers. I never considered smoking as something cool or to be proud of, actually. If someone's listening, I always tell people not so start smoking, though everybody has a right to do to his body however he/she/it/them/they ( :P ) pleases ... to be a smoker or not is a choice everyone makes for himself. And this should always be respected the same way as smokers need to respect the right of non-smokers to breath clean, non-stinky air ;D
It's all a matter of respect and behaviour I guess. ...
