What is the difference between a menthol and something else? I bought a pack of menthols and they seem to burn up way faster than a regular cigarette. They also fill the room with billowy, thick smoke like no other, seemingly.

Menthols contain menthol, and black people smoke them.

I was also wondering what specific effect smoking is supposed to bring. Is it like alcohol?

If I'm drinking (the only time I smoke,) I smoke cloves because they intensify the alcohol intoxication and numb my body.

I coulda sworn that after smoking 5 in a chain I felt different. I'm like able to talk to people openly, yet my patience seems reduced (like today at work until break).

Nicotine is a stimulant. At first, you'll feel a nicotine buzz, but after a week it'll die down (this habituation is how you know your brain has formed extra receptors for any addictive substance and means you'll need more of that substance to saturate them and get the same effect) and all that smoking will do for you is remove the feeling of needing to smoke (commonly known as withdrawal.) If you're addicted and quit, you're going to feel like shit for about three days as the extra receptors shut down, but after that it's all mental.
