I’ve never smoked, but I’ve been around people that do. What do people feel during/after smoking? It doesn’t seem to make people high or hallucinate or anything. It maybe mildly relaxes them?

    I’m going to disagree with you on that. Prior to smoking cigarettes I would have a cigar every couple months. This wasn’t nearly enough to develop dependency, but I could feel a sense of well-being and relaxation when I had one.

      Same. What @willya@lemmyf.uk said (temporary feeling of well-being and relaxation, stress relief, improved mood) describes rather well how it felt back then for me.

      Back when I did smoke I only ever really got that feeling from the first cigarette of the day, which is probably why I didn’t have trouble quitting.
