first cigarette blog

As the title says, today was my first time smoking analog cigarettes. Before that, I've only had a few borrowed whiffs from schoolmates, all from these devices that are referred to as IQOS [brand name].

My cigarette of choice was a Dunhill White; the scenery was the sunrise on the island, though I couldn't manage not watching it with my back turned to the sun. The light rays generously painted the entire city pink, to my joy. I watched a seagull looking for food.

I felt glad to smoke alone, since my inhale technique couldn't have been pretty. Because of the wind, I had to light it up twice? - three times? -, and it had burnt to ashes before it could give me a buzz. Though the reason might be my previous tolerance from nicotine pouches and the disGUSTING medical chewing gum. That, or I haven't inhaled enough of the good stuff.

All my stuff smelled of smoke afterwards; I needed to take a shower, and I'll time my future seshes depending on whether I'm able to do it.

Is it smoke-free--- but how is that relevant you get nicotine-sick from/addicted to pouches sooner if you don't watch out
