when i was a kid (16-18) i smoked them mostly when we didnt have weed (or if we were already high), while we were making music or walking around san diego being little hooligans and shit.
if you had like 3-4 people, you could share because they burn for a long time. and when youre a kid you get lightheaded from tobacco in a bigger sense...smoking tobacco as a kid was more like a 3 minute high than smoking a cig. you know?
they are tobacco, so in that sense you could become addicted to smoking blacks but i never bought packs.
and then i went from there, to 'freaking blacks', to putting mex weed in it instead
but i couldnt smoke a black now because of my teenage years...it would be like drinking cisco at this point in life....been there and had to retire.
but basically they burn for a long time so if youre doing something (driving long miles) you 'have something to do'
