My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I’m not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn’t believe me and keeps saying that it’s actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is actually good for you so that she can stop judging me over it but I can’t find any info online to back that up. Can anyone help me find some resources that list the health benefits of cigarettes? Like how nicotine kills germs or anything like that?

    You’re shitposting right? I mean this is what literally every addict I’ve ever met says about anything. Drugs, Beer, Cigs, Gambling, Porn, etc. they all say this exact phrase before admitting they have a problem later down the road.

        I’ve never had someone who isn’t addicted to something say “I can quit if I want.”

        This whole post reeks of fake fan fiction trolling

          Don’t get me wrong, op definitely has… Issues.

          I’ve personally encountered it a lot, usually in response to accusations of being addicted to their phones or video games or whatnot, and pretty often alcohol as well. Basically, everything where people love to throw around addiction as a backhanded way of just wanting to control behavior.

          Ignoring the confusing and probably fictional op, what would you consider to be a valid response to an accusation of addiction that wouldn’t just be met with “well, and addict would also say that”
