There are many reasons for me to quit smoking, but the Palestinian cause is a strong addition. I cannot support Palestine effectively if I am dead. To continue smoking as such is to hurry along the end of that condition. So I will not lite up 20 times a day anymore.
Also, smoking a pack a day had become part of my identity. In the same way, many of those who were pushed to support the US backed governing body of the land between the Jordon river and the Mediterranean sea, have let ethno-nationalism become part of their identity. Many of them are letting that part of their identity go. I will let the pack smoker in me go in solidarity with everyone who used to support oppression but now knows how wrong that was. Pack a day smokers are a class of people. I have decided to exit that class.
My support for Palestine gives me strength. Standing with Falestine means trying to survive. That means trying to be healthy. Falestine has given me a boost to quitting smoking. I'd have some trouble supporting if I am not alive.
Also fyi caffeine accelerates cravings they share a related enzyme that's why coffee plus cigs is like quadruple tweaked up but too quick
Coffee was never too bad for me, beer on the other hand is pure hell.
IIRC, alcohol makes you piss out nicotine faster, so the connection between alcohol and smoking is not just social, but literal.
That would explain why beer was always so much worse than liquor.
I think there might also a connection between alcohol dilating blood vessels and nicotine constricting them.
YO i hardly smoke anymore and when i do its literally 1 cigarette but if I was drunk in a social situation i could smoke half a dang ol pack in one sitting
Caffeine is super good for you if you anticipate being more metabolic and having tension that needs to leave your body. If it's all you have it can make you a huge jerk 😱
Huh, this explains my ex
