Why don't STEM majors smoke?

Honestly? Because they're stingy. Any engineer I've known had this habit of involuntarily cutting costs. Even if it didn't made any economical sense or was inconsistent. Like people who save every piece of electronic junk "just in case", even when the calculated worth of those desoldered components have less value than what you would've earned on a minimum income. It's just how they have to think - any working engineer has to be aware of costs before anything else and has to minimize them.
Not that I think smoking is good/smart or a thing I would allow in my presence.

You can always do that without a cigarette.
Smoking doesn't really help with anxiety and stress - addicts feel better after smoking because they're feeding their cravings. Nicotine is a stimulant so it might have nootropic benefits for students, but it won't help with stress.
I suppose the misapprehension that smoking helps with stress is all there needs to be to get people addicted.

Because smoking is a social thing, and STEMfags are often autistic to some extent.

some places of employment won't let you take a break like that unless you're outside smoking a cigarette though.

>Artfags and Eng/Litfags always have a cigarette in their mouths.
did a degree in each
never smoke a fucking cigarette

apologize

I use snus when I can
I've smoked but I don't really enjoy it unless I'm drinking (socially) so I usually tend avoid it

When I quit smoking, I just did the same with swirling a cup of coffee.

Nursing major reporting in.

You know how much of a fucking hassle it would be to go all the way down the street to get off university hospital property to smoke a cigarette then come all the way back?

All that to smell like an ashtray and get nasty looks from the nursing babes and doctors?

Not worth it my man.

>the liberals made it so hard for you to smoke that you quit
don't let them win
instead, smoke twice as much out of spite
smoke cigars so it's more pungent
after each smoke break, leave your remaining cigar outside the main entrance, resting on the wall between two bricks like you own the joint

You really shouldn't smoke around hospitals anyway.
O2 tanks everywhere.
