> A non smoker who tries their first cigarette is no more relaxed or confident or calm than they were before.

Heh, I can tell you've never smoked.

I'm not a smoker, but did try a cigar once. Combined with alcohol, it was an utterly euphoric experience. Think caffeine times ten, at least. I quite literally dreamed about smoking for a couple of days after that experience.

Does that effect persist for regular users? Nope. But for non-smokers it can be a very pleasurable experience.




I mean my first experiences with tobacco did involve a bit of a head rush, but I’d hardly call it a “utterly euphoric experience”


You aren’t supposed to inhale the cigar smoke!
