Experiencing withdrawal

I have cut down on smoking ; usually every twenty minutes , now one an hour ; and I am getting a little ague . I experience a good sensation when I smoke .

I did not buy Tobacco this week

My family have convinced me to minimize smoking . And as I can not afford it this week , I have not bought tobacco this week . I am planning on smoking only when I need it and rarely rather than often . Perhaps one cigarette a day or only very rarely .

Why I started this blog

This forum is an attempt to minimise the bad and harmfulness of what some percieve to be a bad practice .

What I am smoking now :

These days I smoke two types of cigarettes . The main adjuvant I use is White Ox in a long paper rollie with or without a filter . This gives me a very good High .
I smoke to half then save the butt .
When I am just wanting a rest smoke , I smoke orange or green variety chop - chop . This usually does not get me High . However some times I feel a friend - High , which can be more satisfying . I smoke to half usually . When I get a friend - High I smoke to the filter butt .

I just today bought a packet of JPS Eternal Blue AU$34 ( if numbers mean some thing to you .)

As always there are three ...

As always there are at least three things about everything , ( Catechism ) and I have identified these things :
The tobacco and paper ( hemp ) ; material stimulation , addition to the corpus terra / clay body .
The deep breathing ; taking in air for the feeling of breathing , moving the chest and thoracic area .
The thoughts that come when you take the time to meditate and stop ; in the gap between distractions of daily living .

Any two of these things together , ( Church theology ) will give you a high .

" Beware that three degrees above others will easily give third degree burns ... "
It is harder than you think . ( Word to the wise ) .

Cooling smoke and the lesson from the Javanese Fire Walkers

I have come to the Faith .
With God , any one of the Faith of God can achieve great things .

So , pray with me , oh Kindred of Spirit :
That smoking does not harm any one and that smoking is good for you ' and y'al .
Amen .

Corn cob pipe

A cheap corn cob pipe is useful to minimise heat . I put a menthol burst filter in the shaft and that helps clear the nasal passages .
I can get a mild high from this method .

Brushing your teeth can remove tobacco stains

The back of your incisors and canines may become stained by smoking tobacco . Try using a stiff bristled brush to remove these . However do not brush too hard or too much as this could damage your teeth . Use vegetable oil and peppermint oil and baking soda as a mixture to help .

Spacer pipe can cool smoke

This water pipe in figure 1 can cool down smoke to my satisfaction . It cools smoke even with out water . One minor problem is that it gets clogged easily . Wash out with water or alcohol solvents .

Figure 1. Cheapo water pipe . Use a curved stick to unplug the mouth pipe . Use a straight skewer to poke the cone hole and pipe .

A metal pipe

This metal pipe , in figure 1 , can be rigged to take a cigarette in the receptacle and a filter inside the mouth - piece end . This rig can cool down the smoke enough , to my satisfaction . However getting high depends on using a stronger tobacco .

Figure 1 : a cheapo metal pipe about five centimetres . Note the receptacle can sometimes not be suitable to hold a cigarette . Chose a conical design for the cone .

Cooling down smoke : Using a water pipe

Perhaps a pipe or water pipe might be good at cooling down the hot smoke .

I am using flouridated toothpaste , again .

There are benefits to flouride beyond cleaning of teeth . Chlorine is also good . All in small amounts . Measured and measured .

If your teeth need to recover from a fissure or lession then try to avoid flouride .

Report on the triple filter trick

The triple filter trick does not work . The heat is still too intense . Although tar is reduced , which is good .
I have tried four filters , not enough nicotine gets through .

Slim filters and slim cigarettes seems to reduce the amount of flame and heat .
I am trying flavoured filters at the moment .

Report on the double filter trick and developments

The double filter trick does remove more smoke and tar and does cool the smoke significantly , however not enough to prevent wheezing during sleep .

I am working on a triple filter design at the moment and will report the results as they come to light .

I am trying the double filter trick

The double filter trick is valid . I will report the results soon .

Not all the problems associated with smoking have been solved : The problem of heat .

While I have made suggestions about dealing with hot smoke in the throat and lungs these have been inadequate . I still get wheezing when I sleep .
So : Further suggestions .
Keep your cigarettes in the freezer or fridge .
Use double filters .
Use cigarette holders .
Use slow burning papers .
etc.

Thoughts on the problem of tar in the chest

Caffeine stimulates . It stimulates the heart and lungs . It may help the cilia in the lungs beat better . It may also elevate blood pressure .
Seratide may help the cilia in the lungs beat better . It may cause lower postural blood pressure .

I have found in combination with many other medications or drugs that Seratide does help with expectorating brown stuff from my chest .

Some psychological effects of smoking which I notice

You may notice these as well or may notice other effects .

Smoking gives me stimulus and time and mood to think . Some times the best most beautiful thoughts-feelings-conjunctions come from having time to think . For example , just today , poetry in concept . I felt so so so good . Also smoking and the advice from the Holy Spirit or was it the tobacco and hemp plants in the cigarette ? The plants can also speak and give you good thoughts . You may recieve a tingling in your fetish areas , mine are around the back of the neck and head , from the goodness of the thoughts . I call this " getting high FT " - from tobacco .

The Topic of Cancer ( revised 24-10-2023 )

As has been expoused in Australia , smoking is statistically associated with Cancer / cancel your credit card . If you cannot control your spending habits then do not smoke . Smoking is highly addictive ; because it is so good / good for you . The only problem with smoking is we have to occupy our selves with other things besides smoking because to be sedentary too long is not good . Making smokes more costly in our territory has two sided effects ; 1.) it makes it more difficult to smoke with out breaking the budget / credit card / cancer but beneficially 2.) it deters children from smoking / however it deters responsible children from smoking as well .

Addend to Introduction to smoking , the first article on this blog : Getting high from tobacco

I have noticed that getting high is not a function of how much or how often I smoke .

Getting High 

a theory about smoking and right behaviour

lemma : I have noticed that different brands of tobacco and tailored smokes do not correlate on the instances of me getting high . I get a good high from cheap low nicotine smokes as well as pricey high end smokes . Some times I do not get high from either . It does not matter whether I smoke more ( to the butt end ) or just half of the cigarette .

Theory : I believe , me getting high is a quality of keeping to right thought , word and behaviour . eg. When I just now smoked to the middle and stopped , ( half ) of a long rollie made from re - couped cheap chop - chop tobacco , I got a good feeling in my head down to my neck .

I believe getting high is a feeling of goodness facilitated by the smoking when one is feeling good ( about your self ) . In Native American pathos this may be the good feeling of meeting friend .

My rail against short rollies

The small rolling papers when made in to a rollie are not safe . There is not enough length to cool the smoke significantly . I recommend the long rolling papers . And with the long rolling papers it is better to use a rolling machine .
Taylors are better but I only smoke to half the length .

I have started buying cigarettes again

I smoke now and again . But I only smoke to half .

Extra safety with the heat from cigarettes

To be extra safe with your breathing when smoking cigarettes ; smoke to half the length of the cigarette then stop . The smoke gets to a high temperature when the flame comes close to the butt .

I have stopped buying cigarettes

I have stopped.

Not all the problems associated with smoking have been solved

Some of the problems still associated with smoking are emphysema , tar in the lungs and second - hand smoke .
Emphysema occurs when hot smoke burns the lungs . Try not to smoke all the way to the butt . As a rule ; I try to leave two centimeters at the butt end .
Emphysema may also occur when tar clogs up the air sacs : Too much / frequent  or " heavy " smoking causes this problem .
One solution to heavy smoking is to occupy your - self with activities / work / house work and trips between smokes . Try not to smoke while walking or standing . When smoking ☩ relax , sit down and concentrate on getting " high " . Remember ; an interesting Life is one with variety .
Second - hand smoke is when youngsters breathe in a smokers effluvia . One way to deal with it is to have smoking areas and to smoke out side when youngsters are in the room .
