In addition, like all other CNS stimulants, it raises energy expenditure and/or calories burned.
Likely a function of increased adrenaline and it's probably dose-dependent meaning the more you smoke the more calories you will expend.
Isn't this the same as anything which increases metabolism?
This makes cigarettes particularly nasty - I have heard of people continuing to smoke simply because it kept them slim and they did not want to gain weight if they ceased smoking. I've also met people who simply had to take a cigarette break in between classes or at work, it's such an emotional crutch it's kind of sad. Caffeine/coffee (even if it was an unhealthy stimulant), isn't used for stress relief unlike cigarettes.

The problem is that tobacco base contains alot of chemicals that I dont know if it is safe......If a person is hypothyroid and stops smoking, this can increase weight due to lowering of metabolism revealing the hypothyroid and if they replace it with binge eating weight gain is likely and are not aware of things like hypo thyroidism and other ways to increase metabolism. Its not the fault of tobacco but underlying issues the person has. Tobacco can help with concentration so if people use it during class or work it makes sense. I don't think its an emotional crutch, more likely to be a neural transmitter crutch. People do use coffee as a stress relief.
"Smoking cigarettes when vaping, e-cigs, patches, gum and liquid nicotine are available is just LOW IQ."
There are many other substances in tobacco which can be therapeutic and nicotine is only one of them so it doesn't make sense to isolate nicotine and only consume that. Vaping tobacco makes sense. I said it above, to compare: having pure caffeine instead of a coffee, a coffee having other therapeutic substances in it. Humans have been cultivating tobacco for 7000 years.
"When I see someone smoking cigarettes, I assume they're suicidal."
I think what your attempting to communicate is that how can people choose to smoke knowing the potential damage that the smoke is causing to their body's?
That long thread on longecity.org is worth a read. Changed my mind on the subject back in the day, at least.
As someone who only smokes 1-2 cigarettes a day, I notice a big difference in commercial ready-made cigarettes (like Marlboro) compared to natural roll-your-own tobacco. The former has something in them that makes me cough, the latter seems to relieve cough.
Time to get rich, I want to upgrade to cigars. Cigars (and pipe tobacco) have an acidic smoke and can't be inhaled like cigarettes, if I remember correctly.What about enjoying whisky and some Cuban cigars every now and then? It seems to be a hobby for many rich men.

Inhaling cigar smoke makes me cough like hell. It doesn't have the same effect like cigarettes because nicotine needs an alkaline milieu for good absorption as mentioned before. Obviously you can get used to it but in general it is not adviced. Enjoy anyway.Of course it can
