Benefits of smoking cigarettes? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

234 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

think about it. Even online, where there are all kinds of stupid misinformation, you couldn't find any info to back your claim.

maybe she's right and she loves you enough to threaten you to do something good for your health

Yeah, this is a good thing OP. She cares enough to have an uncomfortable conversation with you.

In your shoes I'd show her I really wasn't addicted by stopping.

yes! He should quit smoking and her too :)

If he didn't care about me he wouldn't get so mad

you sound just like a battered wife, stop condoning controlling behavior
