I just wanted to let you know that smoking does everything but warm your body. In general, if you are surrounded by non-smokers, you are the one who is cold. The reason is the decreased blood flow due to the narrowing of the vessels caused by smoking and that is why your risk of having a heart attack is higher.

In the subject. I am a 28 year old boy who started smoking at 14. And by smoking I mean a lot. I tried to quit smoking and the longest period was 3 months and I did it a couple of times. Every time I do, I see an improvement in all aspects of my life. This year my New Year's resolution was to do it again, and all of a sudden my poker results improved more than ever.Replace smoking with something productive. When you have a bad rhythm go and learn a language or if you want to smoke something better it would be pure marijuana without tobacco.


Well, friend, let me tell you something, I smoke when I was 13 years old and I am 33 years old and I have also left it and smoked until crypi, it is similar to marijuana and I really did not like its aroma or its smell, nor anything I prefer to smoke a normal cigarette, but That happens to me, the cigarette warms my hands and body, and I have stopped smoking a lot, now I smoke about 3 cigarettes a week, I am no longer an addict or anything, it will be due to the country situation who knows, but the cigarette then has its good things and its bad things, like poker if you don't know how to control them and play with a conscience and with a bank you will fail brother.

No, but I play poker less because of people who smoke. I will only play in non-smoking games.

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?


It happens to me also, but from what I ve heard is not ok to do this. Cigarettes increases anxiety :( we have to relax in another way.

Good luck!

Happily left cigarettes behind. Not a positive habit.

I vape a bit more when I'm playing online poker (obviously not in a poker room, since 99.9% of them don't allow it). It helps me stay focused because of the little bit of nicotine that I put in it.

When I play poker, I smoke almost every break. If I sit in a lot of tournaments, I don't have time to smoke a cigarette, except for these 5 minutes. And so, doing something else, I smoke much less often, once every 2-3 hours on average.
In general, we must quit this addiction, we ruin our health ..

quit smoking. We pay for cigarettes, then we pay for treatment of the consequences of the habit.

Poker is not a reason to smoke more or smoke at all.

Yes, I smoke. but not more because of the game of poker. Because of poker, I drink more tea and coffee. Smoking is certainly a bad habit, and I would like to quit.

I usually use poker to distract myself because I play because I like poker not so much because of the prize so it doesn't change my behavior a lot but sometimes we get angry because we lose good hands like KK and AA in the hand and the guy goes with 42 and wins in sequence

Yes smoking is a stress reliever for me. Sad and so unhealthy. But when I lose a hand I think I should have won I get pissed lol And yes I do smoke more. I save a lot of money when I skip poker for a while.
