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?

Who are you the Marlboro Man? Nothing you wrote is correct at all. You don’t get any feeling other than nicotine withdrawal. Relieving the nicotine withdrawal will of course feel good but if you never had any nicotine in your body to begin with, nicotine does nothing to make you feel good. It does not cause a surge of endorphins. For sure it makes your heart rate go up, because it contracts your blood veins, but that’s not good either…
Nicotine feels great. It’s why I still crave it after giving it up a while back. Everything else involved is horrible but there’s a reason people get hooked to begin with.
7 years smoke free still crave it, but it nasty and I have desire to start smoking again. Definitely an addiction that hard to overcome.
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.
I progressed from cigars to cigarettes and that effect eventually got replaced by a more basic feeling of satiating a craving.
No but my dad let me redeem his Marlboro miles when I was a kid.
I have a folding bike that was originally meant to be part of a Marlsboro rewards program. Apparently smokers weren’t all that interested in exercise. Who knew?
