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?

    Nicotine is an awesome drug. Increases your focus and provides a mild euphoric effect. Of course it’s not good for you, and if you’ve got to do it, it’s better to get it in some other way than to smoke cigarettes.

    Edit: lots of people are suggesting that you don’t get any benefit once you’re addicted, except satisfying the cravings. That’s not true. Nicotine feels good even after you’ve been using it for a long time.

      I think people saying that think the “feel good” only comes from satisfying the craving. And that is a big part of it.
