Does smoking or vaping help you read?

No.

No. I take smoke breaks to think about what I just read, but never smoke while reading.

>Vaping

Tobacco in general is good for hard reading, i.e. reading hard stuff in a foreign language. I can't tell you how often I've been stumped by a line of Pindar or sentence of Tacitus, and realized the solution ten seconds after a pinch of good, strong English snuff. Cigarettes work somewhat as well, but I find them heavier and more intoxicating. Snuff is powdered wit and I truly believe that I would be poorer read without its aid.

smokes kill

Before I budge an inch
I hail aurora with a pinch;
After three cups of morning tea
A pinch most grateful is to me;
If then by chance the post arrive,
My fingers still the deeper dive,
When gallant nelson gains his point
I sink deep to the middle joint;
And soon as ere the work he clinches,
Oh then I take the pinch of pinches
For rich or poor, In peace or strife,
It smooths the rugged path of life.

Nice, I thought snuff was just something you saw in nineteenth century Russian lit.

Why not?
