    Tobacco seems like such a shit drug cost/benefit wise. Like it carries massive risks for long term health effects and in return you get... a mild stimulant effect? Suppressed appetite? Just drink some coffee dude

      coffee has a 50% chance to make me superhuman or a jittery mess

      Tobacco literally does nothing to me though. I tried to get addicted to it once and it didn't work, it just felt like the effects of a very weak green tea
