Why does a cigarette always taste best after a meal?!


Question:

Why does a cigarette always taste best after a meal?

Okay. So I know that smoking is pretty much a taboo subject nowdays. But I enjoy the odd *** every now and then. I've always wondered why a cigarette tastes so wonderful when i've just eaten a huge meal. It seems to make my stomache feel less full and far more comfortable. Is there a scientific reason for this? Or is it all psychological?
p.s - please don't answer just to tell me how disgusting smoking is, as i've heard it all a million times before! It is my choice, after all! Yes, It can give me cancer. But then again, so can the sun!

And the blanked out part is just 'cos I used the British slang term for cigarette, which happens to be a derogative American term for a homosexual person

i dont know why but a f*g/cigarette tastes better after a meal,sex,first thing in the morning,as you say its our choice.my grandma died of cancer and never touched a drop of alcohol or cigarette in her life.the rest of my family have been smokers and drank alcohol and lived to a good age,my nan is 81 this year and has been smoking 40 a day for 63 years,and she is as fit as someone who is in their 20's. i'll carry on smoking,i'll just avoid pubs etc,i'll sit at home with a drink and smoke as much as i want,its my body.i could get knocked over tomorrow!!!!

Eww smoking that’s like so 1980s, I hate people smoking around me when eating food eww

I dont know, becasue I dont smoke, but my mom says the same thing! Thats a really good question...Sorry I cant help much!

I know how you feel. I like to have a drag after a meal as well. I am not sure what the science is behind it but it sure feels good.

only thing i can think of is that cigarettes act as a muscle relaxant and this may make you feel less full.

First off, do what you want, I would never assume you're too dumb to figure it can give you cancer. We all have our faults and bad habits. What I hate about cigarettes is how DIRTY they are. The ashes go all over GROSS, the butts are disgusting and I beg of you to STOP THROWING THEM ON THE GROUND. IT is sick! Anywhere you go, look down, they are everywhere. Check out the ground outside any store, even though there are places provided for people to put the butts they still toss them. They're all over the beach, the park...every-freaking-where! UGH. And for the love of man, stop throwing them out your car window. YOU HAVE AN ASHTRAY! Stop using MY WORLD as YOUR ASHTRAY!!!

Nice to know some folk still know British slang - now if we can find a small bundle of wood. Not really sure, it may have to the act of inhaling, taking that deep breath (or drag) and slowly letting it out. Tho I have found another activity in which a *** tastes even better afterward than a good meal! ;-)~

Many moons ago I saw somewhere where it said a foxtrot alpha golf actually aided digestion. Probs an old wives tale. (Blue Sea needs anger management therapy don't she?).

I don't smoke, but when I'm in a bar and had a few to drink, I want to light up. Whats that all about.

The last time I did that.. I got into a heap of trouble.. but it was SO much fun! So now the saying goes, If we are out drinking and I ask for a cig.. push my *ss out the door cuase its all down hill from that point on! lol

I worship the sun so I understand about doing things you know are bad for you.. but just cant seem to help youself. U know the name a good dermatologist/oncologist I can call in a few years!

I find its just another thing to satisfy - You've eaten a nice meal - You've got a drink in front of you - WHAT ELSE could you do you make the moment more pleasurable ? A nice cigarette. Same after sex - people get hungry, or have a f@g

good question...In fact i think im worse than you cos im literally lightin up whilst chewing last morsal...as you say...its OUR choice

I know exactly what you mean! Cigs ARE the best after a meal! I reckon it's one of the chemicals in a cig that just relaxes the muscles, or maybe its simply the breathing motion involved. I'm off to eat a sandwich and enjoy a tasy cig now lol! Even if it is half past midnight.. It's worth it!

My theory is that it relates to the fact that your taste buds are still in a state of heightened receptivity after eating and therefore they are able to absorb more of the pleasure inducing chemicals from the smoke.

I agree that a ciggie taste soooo good after a meal,and i also love a ciggie when i have a cup of coffee.

I have tried lord how ive tried to pack in yet here i am on a sunny tuesday morning having my 2nd cuppa and 3rd F.@.G without them i cant go the loo and subsequently cant start my day so not only is it pleasurable after a meal it helps at the other end too for me at any rate

wow i totally agree with u! it feels sooooo satisfying to have a ciggy after a large meal, i dont know the reason to it but i know it feels good. at its best is after a cooked breakfast!
