Quote by: Kizzume  There's another forum where someone talked about MISSING the flavor of cigarettes. He said that it tasted good, and that entire concept just boggles my mind, so I asked this and thought this was the appropriate thread to ask the same thing here, since the thread is about why people started to smoke.
If you think cigarettes taste good:
What in the world is "good" about the flavor of cigarettes? Just to see if I could taste anything pleasurable to see what people are talking about "MY brand tastes much better than THAT brand", at different times I've taken a couple puffs before on a Marlboro, a Winston, a GPC, a Camel, and some menthol brand that only makes menthol (I can't remember which one), and as I could tell slight differences between them, it was generally a god-awful flat-out ashtray flavor that seems very similar to the second-hand version, with the exception of the menthol one that had a slightly-different afterflavor.
Is this "good" in the sense of when people test really and truly stinky cheese, or really bitter wines, or really bitter beers, to where it's an acquired thing, or was this flavor something that you enjoyed the first time you did it?
If it was the first time you did it, please enlighten the people who do not understand as to what it is you LIKE about the flavor--what does the flavor remind you of? |
You get used to what you are smoking and over time that's what "tastes" best. You can obviously acquire tastes for most any brand if you give it time. The nicotine is what you crave mostly, so most smokers in a bind will smoke whatever they can get their hands on.
Really, I don't think any of them actually taste good. I liked the smell of the smoke at times, but that was probably psychological.
