    Yeah but there aren’t severe short term or long term effects from drinking caffeine, as there are with cigarettes. Insomnia and increased blood pressure but that’s about it, isn’t it? Smoking causes immediate infections and many long terms issues including lots of different types of cancer.

      short term effects trouble sleeping, irregular heartbeat, restlessness etc. etc. can trigger panic attacks to people who are prone to them and potentially can kill children

      long term are insomnia, constant anxiety (i have witnessed first hand caffeines effects on anxiety. it sucks to see), depression, stomach problems, high blood pressure, and it also has problems when used during pregnancy and breast feeding

      so yeah to me its a little weird how normal caffeine is in life to where it is almost unrestricted where i live while nicotine has flavor bans

        These symptoms will stop though if you stop drinking caffeine - not necessarily the case with cigarettes.

          how so? you can stop smoking and stop having symptoms too or else nobody would even bother quitting

            You can stop smoking and 10 years later still get lung cancer

                But it SIGNIFICANTLY increases your chances.

                You can also have anxiety and insomnia with drinking caffeine.
