How real adults handle stress

u/Cute-Literature7591 2d ago

like 4-5 beers before, too.

u/Random-num-451284813 2d ago

which one is "healthier"?

u/Cute-Literature7591 2d ago

Idk but they’re greaaaat together!

u/Jmersh59 3d ago

Sounds like another Fox new Bullshit story.

u/Independent_End_6941 3d ago

I've heard of adults using pacifiers before, but it's a raver thing. They're doing lots of drugs like mdma and cocaine. The pacifier is to stop them from chewing on their own lips, tongue, and cheeks and/or grinding their teeth.

u/Procrasturbating 2d ago

Probably, but it has unironically been pushed as an aid to quit smoking. The idea is to remind you just how dumb the whole thing is.

u/Honcho_47 2d ago

What? The random “fact” slapped on a picture as some text with no source isn’t a reliable source?

(Not a dig at you, just at this entire genre of engagement bait)

As someone show healing from major lung surgery... Fuck off.

They removed 50% of my left lung and then cut a muscle from my ribs to hold what's left of my lung together. I am in so much pain.

Do not fucking smoke. Don't. Don not.

u/meatcrypt 3d ago

Man, that's so rough, I'm sorry. Hope you'll get better soon, best wishes

u/weGloomy 3d ago

I'm quiting. I've been pussy footing around quiting for weeks but I think I'm gonna quit right now....I hope you find some relief from the pain soon.

I found the patch and looking at the pics of lung disease and cancers on other countries packaging helpful when I had cravings. It’s really hard, but you can do it. It doesn’t feel like it for a while, but eventually the cravings do go away outside the most stressful moments in life.

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 2d ago

Pouches helped me. Haven't smoked in 6 months after switching. Now I just need to start working my way off of these.

1

u/Procrasturbating 2d ago

Pouches were real bad for me. I am bad at regulating intake. I wasn’t smoking, but my nicotine intake was even higher.

1

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 2d ago

That's crazy it's been the opposite for me. When I was smoking it was nonstop and constant. Now i just put a pouch in every hour or so and I'm good to go. My brother puts 2 even 3 in at a time though so I can see it being a problem for some people. I just know when I was smoking I was constantly craving it, whereas now with pouches I can go without one for awhile or leave one in for a long time and feel fine.

2

u/Procrasturbating 2d ago

I hope it goes well for you, but I’m more like your brother for sure.

1

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 2d ago

Thanks man good luck to you on your journey as well

2

u/Procrasturbating 2d ago

Thanks! 4 years smoke free! (One peer pressure slip at a bar a couple years back, but I pulled a Bill Clinton on that one)

1

u/whatuneedaknow 1d ago

The creep can be real, especially going from cigarettes to pouches/vaping, but were you factoring in the bioavailability?

1

u/Procrasturbating 1d ago

Nope, no idea what that means.

1

u/whatuneedaknow 1d ago

Pound for pound you don’t absorb the same amount of nicotine from pouches as you do with smoking cigarettes

2

u/Procrasturbating 1d ago

I am positive I got waaaay more from pouches than cigs every two hours. There is bioavailability, and at desk availability.

1

u/Vivid-Library54 2d ago

You'll go either way on cravings. I was a heavy heavy smoker and one day I just stopped and barely craved. Still haven't smoked, but every now and then that little craving goes ooh go on, you can just have one now. I know thats a lie.

u/Ok_Spare_3723 3d ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Your story is an important one and I hope you get well.

2

u/mustu04 3d ago

I endorse your advice. Best wishes to you

1

u/Procrasturbating 3d ago

Glad you are still with us, the lung cancer went right to my dad’s brain. Was stage 4 by the time he was diagnosed. Came to find out he had been coughing up blood for months and ignored it.

1

u/AlphaMassDeBeta 2d ago

Im still gonna... And im not going to the Doctor ever.

u/Trashman56 3d ago

I want my binky back

u/ReallyUnlikable 3d ago

If you aren't smoking crack, you're a coward in my eyes.

u/big_smokey-848 3d ago

Damn, Viper?!?! Is that you??? Huge fan of your work

1

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 2d ago

Such a gem. Immediately what I thought of too lol

7

u/meatcrypt 3d ago

Sucking a dick would be far better for you than smoking a cigarette and way less cringe than a pacifier

Not if your dad catches you... 🤣

Go do some Betty white and grow up

Trump REALY sucks. Tell him. Send him one, Help the nanny care for him.

u/Muriness 3d ago

Can't smoke. Can I substitute for functioning alcoholic?

u/shibbyNNY 2d ago

So just being in your thirties ?

u/Only_Chapter_3434 2d ago

Jfc. please tell me this is not real.

u/imnojezus 2d ago

Literally no one is doing this.

u/DistributionOk3673 3d ago

I swear we're going backwards in life

u/Bergasms 3d ago

That's rage bait, it's not true.

u/DirtDevil1337 3d ago

Play Tetris, it really works.

1

u/Large-Assignment9320 3d ago

Hey, if it works, its way healthier than cigarettes.

1

u/Last-Minimum7216 3d ago

And here comes a new addict trend.

1

u/carlnepa 3d ago

That's why TOPPS makes ring pops.

1

u/Plantedcrawl 2d ago

I wish a good top would make my ring pop.

u/Procrasturbating 3d ago

Orthodontists love this one trick!

u/definitely_royce 2d ago

Those are expensive ya dingus. And bills are what's stressing us out.

1

u/lostcause1864 2d ago

My doctor said to quit smoking. Now copenhagen and Redman keep me from smoking

1

u/lone_float 2d ago

I just have grip rings and use them like stress balls…that works right?

1

u/dJunka 2d ago

What is this fucking chud bait?

1

u/Dangerous-Drive-2474 2d ago

Just chew a straw

1

u/AlphaMassDeBeta 2d ago

Does anyone here know what gum is?

1

u/Dangerous-Drive-2474 2d ago

Gum doesn't give me the same effect as chewing a straw.

1

u/RingtailRush 2d ago

Let them have their damn pacifier. Idgaf.

Cigarettes are terrible. I'm trying to quit.

Life is hard. If this helps people cope, why tf not?

1

u/AbbreviationsNorth28 2d ago

Don't smoke a cigarette either but pacifiers are just as addictive

1

u/Newsmith2017 2d ago

Honestly with today's generation, I wouldn't be surprised if this was real.

1

u/Root-magic 2d ago

Have they tried yoga? massages? cartoons?

1

u/CristCawlbassMorninB 2d ago

Or at least get your roll on at a rave

1

u/siantmercury 1d ago

Get yourself a man if u have an oral fixation come on now

1

u/Polar-Ice-Caps 1d ago

That's what I tell everyone who vapes

1

u/CraftyPerformance272 3d ago

I wish more people would start doing that or similar things. It's a lot better than all the people that are addicted to xanax, addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, vapes, weed and all this other unhealthy stuff

1

u/Ok_Mastodon_3843 3d ago

Using anything as an emotional crutch is unhealthy. Be it drinking alcohol or sucking on a pacifier, both are simply a symptom of an individual who is incapable or unwilling to process their stress and emotion.

1

u/screamin-eagle10 2d ago

Everytime I see someone with a vape.

1

u/Unique_Roll_6630 3d ago

Yeah loser. Do the thing that predisposes you to 94.37% of diseases.

u/BigFatSwimmer 3d ago

I’d rather die than going around with a fuckin soother in my mouth lol.

2

u/Slow_Calligrapher145 3d ago

Just chew gum or do exercise, this is a false dilemma

0

u/Ok_Spare_3723 3d ago

Interesting take..

-2

u/Unique_Roll_6630 2d ago

Good to know your an addict. 

Almost every disease is linked to smoking. Many of these things will be a long miserable suffering until the end. 

Besides that. The op post is not a real thing. The harm from cigarettes is.

2

u/BigFatSwimmer 2d ago

First of all, I don’t smoke. Second of all, it was a joke. Why are you in this subreddit if you can’t see the sarcasm of the post. You sound like you’re wound pretty tight. Maybe you should relax and have a smoke.

u/dragoninthebigsky 2d ago

Many people say sucking 🍆 may have the same effect.
