Tobacco and Gambling

[MendozaLine]

How many here are full blown tobacco users?

What is your cigarette/cigar/dip of choice? How much do you smoke/chew/plug a day?

Does Nicotine help you relax a little while gambling?

I have been addicted to nicotine for a little over 5 years now. I have quit many times for a few months, but I always find a way to start smoking again. Gambling, School, and work will stress you the fuk out. I enjoy a good smoke. Helps me relax. I try and keep my bad habits to myself though.

I cant see how a past smoker/tobacco chewing enthusiast can continue to gamble after he or she has quit. Too many reminders, and too much stress. If you wanted to give up nicotine completely, you would probably have to give up gambling.

[THE PROFIT]

I have basically quit drinking but cant kick the cigs

[MendozaLine]

I can go fukin weeks without a drink Profit. Nicotine is a fukin bitch. I haven't smoked since Saturday night. Haven't been gambling. I feel like im at a crossroads right now with my nicotine use. Either I quit, or I smoke til I cant anymore.

Grizzly Mint all day.

[onetrickpony]

ports and cloves sometimes

[minet123]

Addicted to nicotine

[doublej95]

ports and cloves sometimes

I smoked cloves once, waste of fukkin money. might as well smoke grass clippings.

[MendozaLine]

DoubleJAY, when I dipped, I would dip Grizzly mint or wintergreen. I was also a big Kodiak user. Skoal is by far the highest quality, however it does nothing for me. Give me something that'll burn my gums and fuk them up.

OneTrick, I cant do menthols. A few of my friends are Newport/Kool smokers. I hate the whole cold feeling on my lungs.

[onetrickpony]

Grizzly Mint all day.

first time i did dip, i fukin puked my guts. i stick with smoking now

[THE PROFIT]

those cloves are rough

Ive smoked now for about 17 years. I want to quit. Not only are they expensive but they are fukin terrible for you. I had to cut back on drinking, I was killing myself not so slowly

[THE PROFIT]

I dont like dipping. Hate the shit in my teeth, having to spit, rotten gums, fuk that.

[doublej95]

I puked too, Skoal when I was 13. Best dizzyness ever till i puked.

[zam77]

fukin dip... Skoal grizzly cope... Whatever I'm in the mood for. I quit on the millenium and just started back up about 6 mths ago. Quit for 10 years man. Nicotine is a bitch. Gonna try and kick it on this new years

[onetrickpony]

guys nicotine is not addictive, they have to tell u that (this country was built on that), its all in ur head

[LostBankroll]

Newport Jacks. But I dont buy packs no more. I never really bought jacks like that. Tree tightly rolled in a backwood is my cigar of choice.

are you from the bay area?

[Nickelicious]

I smoke a tobacco pipe. I smoked cigarettes and cigars for almost 30 years and quit for a month.... Then I went out and bought a Savinelli Duca Carlo pipe and have been smoking that for a couple months. Slows you down, cuts back on intake...it's very relaxing.

With all the rituals associated with packing a pipe with tobacco, it would not work well at a live gambling table, but for the measured pace of sports gambling it is perfect.

[ronjon619]

Marbloro Reds

[Cuse0323]

Never got hooked on tobacco like the booze, but I still smoke. Only a couple a day, if that, but when a games going on it just makes it worse and gets my head going doesn't relax me like other things.

[MendozaLine]

haha alright. I know backwoods are big in the bay area so thats why I asked. Im more of Phillies guy if im gonna roll a blunt

Skoal straight/ Newports.

I dip Kodiak for exactly this reason, I love the burn let's me know it's working I guess. I also smoke newports at work because we only get short breaks and we can't dip while actually performing our jobs etc... But the rest of the time its strictly dip unless I'm in a pinch and need a fix quickly.

I go through about a half a pack of smokes and about half a can a day on work days and full can a day on off days. I've been addicted for about 12 years and I totally agree about the whole gambling and tobacco thing, especially when I play cards I'll take out a dip and put another in for hours and hours on end.

[cancan]

tobacco and gambling are very different..

[MendozaLine]

I agree, but they also have similarities. They do go hand in hand. Gambling is stressful at times, Smoking or dipping can be very relaxing.

[Hoja Verdes]

I smoke 8-10 marlboro lights a day, have been steady for about 3 years. I'm quitting on New Years Eve, so I've got 2 weeks left to be a smoker.

Too expensive, too time consuming, and it's limiting my ability in the gym. Very much looking forward to quitting, I figure the first couple weeks will be tough and then it will be much easier. My plan is to do 20 pushups every time i feel the urge for a smoke. And I also bought a huge box of nicorette gum from Sam's Club, so i'll have a crutch there.

[jbrent95]

I smoke a Cuban cigar about once a week.

[jjgold]

Cigars

[jwbama23]

Dip Timberwolf Mint. Its a skoal knock off pretty much. Good shit

[Ninersnut]

Only smoke black and milds. Not addicted can go on week-month spans without one. Usually only smoke them when I'm getting shitfaced so I go through probably a pack (5) a week or two. Started smoking them when they were 1.75 a pack. Those bitches are up to almost 5 bucks now.

[hubie69]

Yeah, I'm about a pack a day of camels, varies on what I'm doing, but certainly seem to smoke more when gambling. a lot more if gambling and drinking. If doing neither (say for like the last 3-4 days) usually less than a pack

[Foals]

Marlboro Reds. Always goes hand in hand w/ gambling for me

[Raynor21]

Smoking Marlboro Mediums about half a pack to a pack a day. I used to dip pretty consistently, a tin would last me a few days. Always Skoal Straight or when I wanted to switch it up, Skoal Peach.
