Smoking fetish

Unread post by mika.m »

As the topic said I have Smoking fetish that means I have a fetish to see someone who's using cigarettes or vape.
These days I just think to try smoking but I'm torn between smoking and not smoking.
Smoking is bad, can be addictive
But in other side maybe I can moderate it or use something like vape that isn't as worse as cigarettes (but I'm not sure about it)

Is there any better decisions?

Hi Mika,

I want to note that a fetish refers specifically to an object that someone needs in order to feel sexual gratification. This sounds more like you find it attractive when a person smokes, so referring to that as a preference or as something you like is a bit more accurate than calling it a fetish.

That being said, we can't really recommend that you take up a habit that's addictive and can have pretty serious health consequences, and really the best person to ask about the risks of different substances is a healthcare provider, since they'll be able to talk through them in the context of your overall health history. And since the thing you enjoy sexually is seeing others do it, it may make more sense to satisfy that desire by engaging with media where people smoke.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Can I simulate smoking but not really doing that? If so then is there any object to simulate smoking?

I can't speak to safety of any individual manufacturer, however there are are electronic prop cigarettes out there used for theater and TV productions which it might be worth your time to research.

You know, I've been in a similar spot before. A while back, I was curious about smoking too, but didn't want to deal with the health consequences. I gave vaping a try because it felt less harmful and allowed me to explore that handheld smoking action without diving straight into cigarettes. Plus, with options like 0% nicotine vapes, it didn't have to turn into an addiction, something casual to satisfy the curiosity.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, Eresam! There is value to considering less harmful ways to approach interests like this, but I think we still can't fully recommend 0% nicotine vapes. Nicotine isn't the only substance in vapes that can have harmful effects, so there are some health risks here. As Sam suggested, it might be best to consult with a healthcare provider before exploring these options.
