Is it normal that when you play poker the consumption of cigarettes increases? Or is it possible that it is anxiety about this pandemic and being locked up for so long?
Thank God I don't smoke. But calming the anxiety for a while with a cigarette I don't think is the solution, as the anxiety will return, unless you have enough cigarettes while trying to play poker.:eek:

Compare to the pokerless days, years, when I spent my time with any kind of wonderful, 'real' work, I smoke less... Half of the amount, that I used to.... even when I get really upset, because of some flowing 1-2 card river series to my opponents, I am not so nervous, like in a workplace from the talking heads...
Poker is good for me from this point of view, too... I think, it stands for all the smoker tourney players. There is simply no time for it.

When a break is called, I always smoke a cigarette. I also make coffee. And before resuming the game, I add cognac to it. It turns out great!

Smoking and alcohol are incompatible with playing poker, but during the break, a cup of coffee and a cigarette will not hurt.

No I do not smoke at all. Now I have found I have drank more beer during the pandemic.

Before yes, I smoked every hand I played that made me nervous, but now I control myself enough and I live alone!

I am a smoker and I confess that when I play poker it beats more old age so the tendency is to smoke more during poker games

I do not smoke because of poker. Well not cigarettes anyway. If you beat me with a 2 n 7 off suit or some other crap hand when I have AA or KK then you might see some smoke rising !!! LOL

I'm heavy smoker for years and new player in poker. I would say I smoke less playing cards online because I want to stay focus with free hands when I play but it's opposite for live games, if I can smoke, I'll smoke some cigars.

I ve stopped smoking since 2007, so cigarettes are not a problem for me,but I think that poker is a great smoking stimulator.

Not really, but I started playing online to practice for live tournaments so I limit my cigarettes to breaks like I would at the casino. If I was really a fanatic about it, and I'm not, I would limit to every 1.5 hours like with actual play. :)

I do not know how to smoke, so I can play normal without smoking.

I definitely smoke more when playing poker sessions, probably because of my emotions.

I smoked a lot before. Now it’s worse ever since they synchronized tourney breaks so I’m out about every hour. It forced me to stay inside before they were synced
