My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I’m not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn’t believe me and keeps saying that it’s actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is actually good for you so that she can stop judging me over it but I can’t find any info online to back that up. Can anyone help me find some resources that list the health benefits of cigarettes? Like how nicotine kills germs or anything like that?

    As a half a pack a day smoker for most of my life, this is what all addicts say.

    You’re just in denial.

    If you can quit whenever you want then why is this worth the fight to you? Because you’re addicted.

    They help you get through the day because not having them is a stressor. Because you’re addicted.

    I haven’t had a cigarette in like 2 years and they still sound good sometimes. Because I’m addicted.
