I'm writing a story from the perspective of my waifu but I'm a non-smoker. In the story she lights up after sex.
How do I describe the pleasure of smoking? What do smokers mean when the talk about the 'taste' of a cigarette? Is smoking felt in the head as well as the lungs?
How about smoking one yourself to start off ?...

I did and it was awful.
>>9271923
Shouldn't you be more worried about describing what its like to have sex?
>>9271928
I tried sex once too and it was awful.
>>9271928
what are you talking about the virgins here are top experts on female sexuality
>>9271936
She's not a girl in my story.
>>9271941
you're writing a story from the perspective of a male Emma Roberts?

Not exactly. Here's what I have so far:
>"Harder, harder, fuck me Anon," she neighed as she went into a seizure. Licking her piano key teeth she reached for a packet of Virginia Slims and a cheap lighter, and lighting the cigarette with her hooves, put it in her mouth and began to chew. She felt...

Lol
If your character is a Virginia slim smoker, she probably hasn't gotten a buzz from cigarettes since the 60's (meaning I have never seen anyone who wasn't a grandma smoke them) and her taste buds are trashed to the point where she couldn't taste it if you doused it in hot sauce. But to be more helpful, I remember my first buzzes being very disorienting and my body feeling like I touched a live wire, except dull and painless, for about 30 seconds. Cigarettes pretty much taste how they smell. I always thought it was sweet with one or two other flavors I don't know the words for. Try just looking up types of tobacco.
ex-smoker here. except for that first cigarette in the morning, there's no pleasure in smoking. only people who doesn't smoke get a slight buzz from cigs.
>so why people smoke?
because they're addicted. its exactly like going to pee. you don't feel any pleasure, but you stop feeling bad after you do it.also, it's kind of fun

i hated smoking in the morning when i smoked. i couldn't smoke until at least 10:30 or 11am but would put away a pack a day then.
Also there is definitely pleasure in a cigarette after a big meal or the first one after a long haul flight.

Shouldn't it be a camel?

This needs to be addressed... What the hell are you writing, an erotic Animal Farm? Might be overthinking it getting too into the smoking aspect.
>>9271926
You need to start of slow and actually inhale, my friend. You should experience a sense of calmness, mild euphoria, and pleasurable light-headedness, especially your first time (and consistently afterwards, if you don't become a frequent smoker).

Terrible advice.

This guy knows. Smoked from 14 to 24, been free 12 years, but I can still remember the above.
>the pleasure of smoking?
You already experience it all the time by not smoking.
I think this is just me but smoking gives me a tingly feeling down my back.

Occasional smoker here.
Smoking less than 5 one or two days in the course of the week, and every cigarette feels like the first one.
Nicotine is a great drug, but you need to moderate it severely.

It's a very potent nootropic and mild euphoriant :^)

Sometimes having a cigarette after I've wanted one for awhile feels like taking the first breath after I've been submerged in water for a bit too long.
how about not describing it. just mention that it happens, we don't need gory phenomenology and feeling-tones about everything that happens
kinda cliche anyway desu
>>9272072

real smokers don't get a buzz, it's like scratching a pretty nondescript each.
>>9271923
When you take a drag after sex, you feel the high much more. Its like taking a drink of water after a marathon; a craving that just gets satisfied. Through the sweat you reach a new kind of high, not all unlike what coffee does to a morning.
Since you don't smoke, the best way I can describe it is if you take a sudden, sharp, and full breath in, hold it for a second, and then exhale quickly. Now that you know what to do, go outside and run for a bit. Once you've worked up a sweat, Stand straight up, and repeat the breathing movement. On the exhale, thats what a cigarette will feel like after sex.

Why don't you just write about the things you know about?
