I started when I was 16. At first, it's hard not to cough and makes you feel kinda a bit light-headed. Later on, you start craving for it and it makes you feel relaxed. That's been my experience with them. Also, don't try it.
What's it like to smoke? is it relaxing?
I smoked on and off for 30 years. During that time I ran marathons, played squash and rugby, and had a family.
I enjoyed smoking, I really did. It did make me cough sometimes, but hey.. No gain without pain?
About 10 years ago, after changing from a really active job to being a desk-bound computer nerd, I got pains in my chest.
I then started to lose the use of one of my legs.
The cause of both problems?
Smoking.
I'm all fixed now, but it has not been a laughing experience.
And do you know what?
I spent thousands of pounds over the years on cigarettes to get that unwell.
Its a bad habit i quit drinking and drugging and now smoke cheap cigars. I smoke too much its bad for me but its a cheap bad habit that i dont end up in jail
Not a direct answer to your question, but Richard Ianelli (The Devil's New Dictionary) put it this way:
Smoker: One who condemns himself without a fair trial and then proceeds to pay his own executioner for the poison with which he carries out the sentence.
It's like getting a health disorder on your own risk , it is injurious to health , it can cause cancer , my advice is you should quit smoking , there are many relaxing ways than this(liking hearing to music , reading books etc) . It's your wish to hear me or not .
The only time it is relaxing is after you become addicted. It is the withdrawal that brings on the anxiety that only a cigarette can fix. The reality is if you smoke you will stink of cigarette smoke. Anyone who kisses you will taste the cigarettes. It is a nasty habit that turns into a horrible addiction.
