Slowly killing your body for alone time is a shitty trade off. Your kids/fanily will have plently time alone when you die of lung cancer.

Sorry to be brutal but nicotine addiction doesn't make you think rationaly. You can go outside with an ice cold can of Pepsi max and stay outside alone. No need to to be an addict who is killing themselves slowly at the same time.

I'm am ex smoker, used to think like you too. Didn't see how I could function without smoke breaks. Once the addiction is broken its absolute doable. The only reason for smoking is to sustain an addiction, it does literally nothing else. There is zero positive benefit to smoking.
