Smoking makes me feel empowered?

Question

I recently started to smoke cigarettes, I only smoke a few a week, for some reason it makes me feel empowered... is this bad? what do you think?

Answer 1

No, it's not bad. Most people who smoke and enjoy it feel this way. It is one of the good things about smoking, the power you feel over the fire and the smoke, knowing that you are in control of them.

Answer 2

I can understand why.  In this world of political correctness it's venting.  A way to say "s***w you" to all those who put your nose up at your choice to do things.  

Answer 3

Lots of people really enjoy cigarettes.  You are one of them. /

Answer 4

It's natural, an effect of nicotine. Nothing wrong with the effect, it's really nice, but of course if you smoke you can get addicted and suffer consequences to your long-term health.

Answer 5

I'm allergic to it. Stay far away from me. I think it's strange and sad that you would feel empowered by an oral fixation.
