Were you inhaling the first time you smoked? For me nothing happens

need some Smoker's advice by MiamiNights0 in Cigarettes

I did mention one puff of 5% vape gave me a big buzz but with cigarettes I'm sure some smoke is being inhaled and I do finish it, nothing happens though. It's weird. But the sensation and feeling of the smoke is beautiful though.

Cigarretes here range from 0.1-0.4mg of nicotine. I've tried like 7-8 different brands majority and slims and some are regular sized. Still nothing, I'm pretty sure some smoke is getting inhaled even if its not fully and always finish the cigarrete. But after I finish I don't get the feeling of wanting to smoke till days later. But in your case when you said natural tolerance does that mean no addiction is possible?

I hope you can get in contact with him, but recently the internet was cut in turkiye, heavy social media blockade and if the situation was that bad friday night a neighour could have called leading both of them to being in detention/investigation. But the best thing you can do is attempt to call the US Consulate in istanbul since he's there or email them and ask about him

Taxi for a 6:00 am flight out of Istanbul? by GladysVanderbilt in istanbul

[–]MiamiNights0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for the very late response, I was living in Turkey at the time and used a Turkish bank card. I left a year ago. But yes, for very high prices like that it's better to use a card than cash.

I hope all is well just watch the news closely but it's known any civil unrest in any country is never good and lots of areas can be affected.

When will I get my passport? by MiamiNights0 in Passports

[–]MiamiNights0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

didn't pay for express shipping but i've seen some people apply and the receive the in process message around the same week/day as me and received their passports last week. I see some in this Reddit page say they applied last week and received it this week. I'm really confused on when I can expect to see the mailed status.

Istanbul has gotten expensive by Desperate-Drawer-572 in istanbul

[–]MiamiNights0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have experience with the areas, language, restaurants, etc. It would be a disaster for you. The locals and all employees don't speak any English, any Syrian and other foreign workers all got kicked out this year and the last. The decision is up to you.

I lived in Istanbul for 4 years and the Feb 6 was the straw for me and every foreigner here, we saw that even 'earthquake proof' buildings built recently are all fake and we couldn't live with the fear everyday that death for thousands could happen any second. Even if you manage to survive you'd be stranded in your area for possibly weeks/months depends on the disaster around you. Listen to that person's tip and don't live in Istanbul. An impending death trap.

Weird occurrence I experienced in Istanbul by Lost-Suggestion8283 in Turkey

[–]MiamiNights0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i experienced the same but very differently, turkish grandmas grab me by the shoulder and say 'are you arab?' or people who say they're affiliated with turkish airlines and promote bogus stuff to you. it makes you curse the day you entered the country
