Smoking?

[mooks]

I like girls who smoke slims... I think it looks sexy as hell, lol!

I am a smoker myself, and I don't feel like quitting anytime soon, maybe when I'm done with college and i gotta get a job.

But I gotta say... its a great conversation starter ("got a light?" "can I have one of those?" bla bla and so on) when I am at a loss of words..

These are not reasons to smoke, but reasons why I smoke...

It relieves stress during a meeting break or anything stressful

-Its also a great pacer when drinking alcohol and (only smokers will understand this) a cigarrette after a big meal... oh-so satisfying!

I smoke like 3 cigs a day (one before work, one during break and one after dinner). Its the hardest ritual for me to keep- because they are so damn addictive and the oral fixation is a b!*ch to get rid of. I prefer to smoke marijuana joints, easier to control- more satifaction depending on the strand (I know its off-topic, but i feel its necessary), and it doesn't hamper my atheletism

Look, I know its bad for you, and lung cancer and all that- but everyone has their poison... whether its alcohol or nicotine- both are poisons in excess.

[5th of April]

I'd complicate my asthma just the more if i smoke.
I hate smoke, but i don't hate the smoker.

[mooks]

Oh, I'm compeletly respective of peoples' attitude towards smoke, by the way...

I ain't one of those guys who would smoke in a restaurant, around babies and kids or blow smoke in a coughing persons face-

Its bad enough smoking is non-tolerant

[icekimi]

it's a bad habit to smoke.coz it's destroy your body in a slow speed.
but i admit i have smoked like 3 times..i don't regularly smoke just sometimes.
i especially hate people smoke in a place that shouldn't smoking..it's just soo freaking annoying

[mooks]

Hi good day to everyone. I'm pretty much new around here but this is an interesting topic. Can someone, anyone here who smokes tell me what it's like? I've never smoked in my life but lot's of people condemn smokers to hell, but...there's got to be a reason whypeople smoke right? Can anyone educate me on that? Please

I'm going to answer your question honestly...

There's gotta be atleast SOMEONE here who smokes!

So far its just non-smokers expressing their hatred for smoking and those who have tried smoking... but still hate it and all...

C'MON!! some of you guys should stop lying! I know I'm not the only smoker in here...

Smokers have a certain brand, cause they all have a certain flavor (not taste) to them... and they become distinctive.

If you mix the distinctive taste, together with the habitual opening and lighting a cigarrette coated with the addicting effect of nicotine and (admit it- we've all watched SIN CITY or a badass cop flic) the cool pose SOME OF US (not all) can strike... makes it kinda cool!

And besides, a cigarette after a big meal, or after sex, long, take-a-break-to-drink-water, hot, sweaty, muscle aching-but-damn-good sex... A cigarette is like a cherry on a sundae.

But yeah, its a bad habit, and it destroys the body... hate smokers.. yeah.

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

I remeber my Ex-Girlfriend used to smoke but she kept it a secret cause she knew I hated it! but when we kissed I could always taste the nicotine, yeah it was disgusting....I remember seeing a pack of sigarets in her purs..but she lied to me and told me she was holding it for a friend..ain't that something? ^^

[skyoon]

I smoke a couple black and milds maybe.....3 times a year? cigarettes are horrible though, taste like ash ;P

[Icestorm]

haha mooks.. you must not have read the other posts.. I smoke.. and as you said im respectful of other people too. Im not really in a habit because I try to stay out of that .. so that if I wanted to stop it would be easier.. I know that is not the nicotine its more the habit.. I smoke when I want and I smoke because I enjoy it. But because of my last sentence I smoke about a pack every 1- 2 months.. leaving it irregular on purpose.. but damn I know what you mean about the alcohol and a smoke after a meal.. it feels damn good.. oh and after sex.. shouldnt forget after sex.. thats probably the best time. :D

[mooks]

I must've missed your posts! I just skimmed through all the pages- saw the same one-liners... I had to say something!
Yeah its bad- but it has its good side...

Every poison has its perks.

Oh yeah, your irregular habit towards smoking is a damn good idea- gettin close to the fire but not too close.. i like that!

[lorraineChan]

@5th of april:same here.

[kenicchi]

I used to smoke close to 3 packs a week, but i quit,.. but i found it better than alcohol, cuz i could smoke and go to work or school without worrying about getting in crap with cops for DUI. But when it comes to releiving stress and stuff, alcohol is still better.

[Analog]

I dont smoke cigs but occasionally I will smoke a black and mild or something, idk it depends probably only 1-2 times a month I will smoke anything though... But I saw someone mention Hookah earlier hehe love it haha!!

[relph]

idk if u smoke personally cAUSE ITS UR CHOICE and no body has the right to say u cant and i dont but i mite i hav never tryed it
:headbang :cussing: :10:

[MelissaJ]

i use to smoke when i was 12, but that was only to fit in the cool crowd @ school, but when i went to high school my first bf asked me to give up for our sports and since then we have been together ever since. smoking is a bad habit especially if you smoked just to be cool. believe me..... i've had experience. lol

[shaberry]

Mooks...I answered to that post...last I recall...I was the first one to answer to it...lol...

[erika]

im planning to stop smoking... im planning to stop today..... i just feel that i just dont feel right anymore... :) wish me luck:D

[xBkLaZex]

http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o166/2gunzxupx/weeduser.gif

can u guess if i do ???

[shaberry]

im planning to stop smoking... im planning to stop today..... i just feel that i just dont feel right anymore... :) wish me luck:D

Good luck erika! And be strong ^_^

[momo-taichou]

I cant stand the smell of people who smoke
and it causes cancer. Since you only live once, shouldn't you try to live as long as you can?

[Alex26]

Dont smoke, i have smoked but only cigar and only 1 time.
And yeah, i find smokers annoying, besides the smell, the fact that they need a cig every 20 minutes is pityful (whats the deal? >.<) and annoying too. And im not kidding about the 20 mins thing, i've seen profesors on univ getting out of their class room to smoke, and my previous year's eng profesor admitted she smokes minimun 1 pack daily. They spit more smoke than my oldy car exhaust, and thats saying a lot XD

[aloy]

...smoking is bad not only to your health but everybody near you. But how can smokers stop smoking when you can buy cigarrete nearly everywhere!

[Sliferhaven]

I don't even know why people sell them in the first place. Okay, wanna hear something odd about cigars? Once, when I was at a 7-11, I saw flavored cigars. Do you know what flavors they had? Pineapple, cherry, and strawberry. WTF?!

[shaberry]

*blink* What's wrong with flavored cigars? o.O There's flavored cigarettes too...

[silverwolf801]

hm I despise cigarettes and I despise the people that smoke them I can't be near a person who smokes it drives me crazy. That's why any girl that I like that smokes has to be let go because it just wouldn't work between me and her cigarette.

[Cheryl]

I never knew there was such a thing as flavoured cigarettes.. =__=

Meh, I'm very much against smoking.

Smoking = stress relief? Puh-leaze. There are so many ways to destress besides smoking, ways that won't shorten your life and damage your health. Plus, cigarettes are expensive >__>

[shaberry]

Well...on occasion I smoke Vanilla cigarettes ^-^ There's also strawberry...chocolate...mocha...and other flavors out there...

[FullMetal Rebel]

Smoking,Smoking,Smoking.Not really much to say about it other than,if your doing it your losing alot.Would never work out for me,that takes a toll on your breath and teeth.The smell gets in your hair,no it just wouldn't work for me.You can forget girls with a nasty mouth.

[silverwolf801]

Well...on occasion I smoke Vanilla cigarettes ^-^ There's also strawberry...chocolate...mocha...and other flavors out there...
wow to think about you smoking. that's bad

[shaberry]

*shrug* I smoke on occasion...which is rare enough in itself. It's not like it's everyday.

[vividcolour]

Uuuh... I've always feel teribble in internet cafe when someone smoke beside me, i don't smoke but they give the smoke to me -_-

[phantommaggot]

you guys complain alot about smokers..
my great grandmother smoked unfiltered lucky strikes from the time she was 13 till the day she died, she was over 95 years old.

funny thing is, there is so much more that can give you cancer...
drinking is really trendy these days, ever think of what that does to your liver. speed drinks like redbull, im sure your liver and kidneys, and heart love those.
factories that emit odd things into the atmosphere.
who goes camping. or has a wood stove in their house?.. you have to light a fire right.. well.. you breathe that smoke and ash all night..
people that live on medication, bai bai liver..
you could get aids so many ways it hurts to think about.
you could contract some kind of weird diseases from sitting on a public toilet
lepracy still exists these days, its just called something else (Hansen's disease)
a mosqito can bite you and give you someone elses diseases
you could develop an allergy to peanuts and die at chick filet one day
i can go on for days..

hell, tomorrow i could walk outside and get hit by a car. as could all of you..

your are NOT going to live forever, and you all ARE going to die.. dont spend so much time complaining about what other people do as long as it isnt altering them or hurting you.. and no.. smoking a camel in your general location isnt gonna hurt you unless you go out of your way to smoke someone elses smoke every day for the rest of you life.. go to a city... breathe the amazing exhaust gas air.. there is just as much of the bad stuff in that i promise.. but the gas industry isnt under the camera lense for that are they lol..

ignorance is bliss

[Icestorm]

Hmm indeed. Alot of you guys seem to be generalising all smokers as people that really dont give a stuff about anyone else.. I on the other hand do care.. and if I can see that someone is visibly discomforted by my smoking I move away from the area. Also I see that someone mentioned generally that smokers need to smoke every 20 minutes.. hmm well thats very stupid.. seeing as though most people are different when it comes to their needs.. I can go for weeks without needing to smoke...

Please if you are going to say things about smoking.. at least know the basics.. For instance it isnt the nicotine that mainly keeps you coming back.. its the habit.. so I for instance dont get into a habit so therefore I dont NEED to smoke ever... I only smoke when I want.

And just to mention.. Id rather die young than in a nursing home.. :)

I love how people are so influenced by media.. haha

[deto]

i don't mind smokers at all, i don't smoke myself cuz i never felt an urge to do so. and it would have been a conflict with lifestyle anyway. but i have a lot of friends who smoke and i don't really care if they do it in my presence. i mock them from time to time, imitating a really annoying cough, but just for fun *g* only bad thing is when people smoke in closed environment, because of the normal side effects like burning eyes and your clothes stink like... yah but in open spaces, i don't care. i know it's not healthy to smoke passive but meh at least it's cheaper :D

[danoOo]

Doesn't seem to be much <3 for smokers in here. Ive smoked almost everyday for 3 years. I can tell its taking its toll, when sometimes I wake up in the morning and my lungs feel like they've been through a cheese grater but thats the price I pay. I generally don't like to smoke in the presence of others, and if I do I try to stay as far away as possible.

[KaidaSorano]

Do you smoke regularly? Socially? Have you smoked? (Tobacco only please, cannabis doesn't belong in this thread.) What are your views on smoking at ayoung(-ish) age?

~No
~No
~Once... Ugh!

Smoking is gross... its that simple. That and it turns your teeth yellow... If you smoke in the house even your CLEAN cothes hanging in the closet will need ashed regularly... its expensive and actually drity...
I dont agree with smoking at any age and if i was oldenough to vote in the last election i woild have Voted Yes on Issue 5 (i think) {Reference - I live in Ohio | incase you wanted to look it up it was either last fall OR spring elections}

[windhurst]

no i'll never smoke. thats one way to kill you. smoking should be banned. if some of you smoke, please stop. keep goin down the smoking path you'll die this is my warning not trying to be mean but smoking sucks!

[ike174]

yes i have smoked only a couple times and i can only take newports or kools and my max right now is 3 in one sitting i am not addicted

[Hiraishin]

No I do not smoke. I can't anyway, with the medication I'm on it would really harm me.

I have tried, before I was on meds, lol. It was gross, so yeah, theres another reason to not do it.

[dragoneyes001]

been smoking for 35 years don't plan on quiting

[RiannaSan]

I smoke every now and then. When I do, I smoke a lot though. I usually do it every few months or so, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke half/whole pack of it in one sitting. I don't inhale though, I just really enjoy the taste (I smoke really strong menthols) and since I don't regularly smoke they affect me more than most people and they put me in a very good mood.

[FaerieRose]

Used to smoke as a teenager but never really liked it all that much. I have a child with asthma so smoking around her is a bad idea. I promise to teach my kids about smoking and hope that they make a wise choice not to smoke for themselves.:cm:

[deto]

I love it when people ***** about smoking in a bar, even though I don't smoke. I mean it's a lot like saying "hey pal, I don't want to get lung cancer while I'm over here getting liver disease."

[hyuhin]

haven't tried it yet (I think I'm the only one out of my friends who haven't)...been thinking of trying it at least once to see what its like.....good idea or no?

[Lust]

@hyuhin weell...its best you dont or you will get addicted to it

[Rorschach]

haven't tried it yet (I think I'm the only one out of my friends who haven't)...been thinking of trying it at least once to see what its like.....good idea or no?
No it's not a good idea, cuz smoking is bad for your health. However, this is just my opinion, If you're compelled to do so, go right ahead (that is if you're of legal age).

[Night Prowler]

I used to smoke like a chimmney when i was 14 after my Gf had to move down south breaking up our 2 year relationship, she was a chain smoker so the smell reminded me of her.

Stopped when I was 15 when i started to go out with someone else :p.

[-=Yanayo=-]

Both my parents used to smoke - i was offered - by my father cigarettes and of course id take them. since the age of nine i'v smoked once - when i was drunk and i don't plan on smoking in the future - the health risks are too great

[Rhea]

I love it when people ***** about smoking in a bar, even though I don't smoke. I mean it's a lot like saying "hey pal, I don't want to get lung cancer while I'm over here getting liver disease."

Oh ahahaaha lol. True. I dont smoke myself. We have a smoking ban in Ireland and I love it!! It's so much nicer when you're out not having the atmosphere. My big thing is I hate the smell of smoke, especially on clothes bah!

Okay incoherent ramble done xD

[Miyu]

I used to smoke, when I turned 18 and thought it was soo cool. After a while I quit, when a friend said that my clothes and hair smelled like crap.

[Captain BenZ]

Smoked for 2 years from the ages of 16-18, then just decided to quit not because I wanted to stop smoking but because it was taking a lot of money out of my wallet...

Then I got so used to not smoking after stopping for awhile that I decided to quit smoking all together.

[White Wolf]

I had smoked a cigarette once before and i thought i was going to throw up it tasted that bad.

[malfuncti0n]

and I despise the people that smoke them
Dayum, intolerance to the max.

As for teh main topic, meh, have never been more than a on occasion, if offered user of sorts. So basically, yeah if i saw an opportunity to nab one I'd take it, if not, thats cool to, doesn't matter much to me. But still haven't had one in ages.

[BryanLicksYou]

i would never smoke but because some1 smokes doesn't make them a bad person.

[Midare]

hm I despise cigarettes and I despise the people that smoke them I can't be near a person who smokes it drives me crazy. That's why any girl that I like that smokes has to be let go because it just wouldn't work between me and her cigarette.

I don't like you either :p

as for the topic... yeah I smoke, even if I know is not healthy and all that stuff.

but personally, I'd like to think I'm more tolerant than other smokers that smokes in the presence of people who doesn't and they don't care. When I see that there's people who doesn't smoke, I just don't do it, because I know how that feels from the time I didn't smoked because my mom smokes a lot and she never thought that is not good to smoke in front of a kid, so I'm the opposite.

I know that eventually I'll lquit it... or maybe not, it depends, but actually I don't really care about my health by now :p

[Hiraishin]

Thats not intolerant, thats selfish. To say you hate EVERY smoker. How can you? You don't know every smoker to hate them. Just hating someone because of a habit is a very inward way to think. Would you hate someone with HIV? This is on the same premise. Smoking is the smokers choice, not anyone elses. And besides, very good portion of my friends smoke, so I take offense to that.

[ashiin]

I don't usually smoke cigs, never really liked them.

But i do smoke cigars, and cigarillos (mini cigars). I also shisha a lot.

[Aesthetique]

I hate smoking. I hate second-hand smoke even more.

[Kalashnikov]

I've stopped. I only smoke sometimes if me and a friend feel in the mood for a cigar or something. I'm talking like once in every 3-4 months :)

[Sono i Lupi]

i hate ppl who smoke cigs
b/c u know its bad for u, yet u do it anyway
why?
would u drink a bottle of tar if i gave it to u?
cause its basically what ur doing
i guess giving urself cancer is the cool thing to do now-a-days
i dont mind so much ppl who smoke weed for recreation
but cigs... theyre just disgusting on so many level
any girl smoking a cig, no matter how hot, is a no go
cause i dont want that cig breath and gross smoke smell all up in my grill

[Hiraishin]

b/c u know its bad for u, yet u do it anyway

Its an addiction, they can't help it.
Most of the smokers I know are trying to quit.

[sweeter]

I recently had to smoke a cigarette for a friend's project, and I hated it. It tastes and smells horrible.

We shouldn't really judge smokers. Their reasons for smoking may not be good enough for you, but it's their life. I'm sure that there are some who'd like to quit, but can't. Instead of condemning them, we should be supportive.

What's really annoying are inconsiderate smokers - smoking in non-smoking areas, not caring whether pregnant women or children are around to inhale their second-hand smoke, etc. Those people need to be set on fire.

(:

[deto]

y hate them? it's up to them what they do. people should choose their words wisely.

[Milan]

Nope. I don't smoke. Never really tried it either.

[ashiin]

y hate them? it's up to them what they do. people should choose their words wisely.

gotta say i agree with deto here. It's up to the smoker to decide what they want.

[IceQueen99]

I smoked when I was thirteen or fifteen (I used menthol lights)....today I offically quit - three years to present!

[zen]

I tried it and had a massive asthma attack, never picked up one since.

[blueice760]

yeap i tried and thought my troat was gonna burn away!

[Joan]

I tried it but it made me sick and I never felt like smoking again.
I am however always surrounded by smokers, my father smokes, by bf smokes, two of my best friends smoke and a third is cery close to being a regular smoker.. And that's not much fun because I still get sick if I smell too much smoke, it's really annoying. So luckily my friends are kind enough to go away from me when they smoke, my bf forgetshimself sometimes when wer're driving though, thats annoying..

all in all I have nothing against people smoking, they know what their doing so I'm not gonna nag them when thay already know it's bad for them. As for myself, I'l probably never start smoking..

[Manchester Black]

I've tried cigarettes and cigars. I didn't like cigarettes. They're just gross and very bad for you. Cigars are pretty decent though, and it helps that you don't inhale them. Occasionally at family get togethers or friends parties I'll enjoy a cigar. I can hardly be considered a "smoker" though, because I practically never even have a cigar.

[berserk]

Don't smoke and I haven't tried it. The smell and the coughing I do from just someone else smoking is enough to deter me from ever smoking.

Having said that, I really don't care if someone smokes or not. I'm not gonna tell you, "You shouldn't smoke cause it'll kill ya." If you wanna smoke then smoke. Your choice.

(Every single time I see those "truth" commercials, I just want to punch each one of those guys in the face. They're just too annoying with their crap.)

[Hime-chan]

alot of people smoke around me so basically i smoke,yeah im gonna die from second hand smoke,i swear that stuff stinks and it burns my nose when i smell it yuck

[demonchick]

my granfather smokes and eveytime i get near him my nose burns too.personally i hate cigarettes they kill.

[ske105]

I've smoked a few times before in the past and I have to say...its digusting. Apart from 'fitting in' or lack of knowledge concerning smoking, I can think of no logical explanation for ever smoking. It makes your breath stink, your teeth discoloured (excuse the english spelling), destorys your lungs, contains cancerogens and so on. Really not a good idea imho.

[kakudo]

I smoked once It wasn't a cigarete or cigar, it was mara. It wasn't bad, But my friend I vowed not to pick the stuff up ever again. Haven't touched the stuff since.

[Princess Gheyfu]

Well, today I just gave one of my many emotionally packed speaches to my litterature class about why adolescents shouldn't smoke, so obviously I have a personal grudge against smoking and I dislike smokers with a passion. I have seen my goddamn cousin die at 17 from a cancerous lung and emphysema in the most disgusting way imaginable (his lungs dissolved, making him die coughing up gushes of blood all over himself, crying to have it stop, but he was so weak he couldn't even speak at his death bed, he could just stare, cough, and let tears roll out of his eye, down his cheek, and wherever it would end up from there), so if I see someone else in this ****ing house pick up another damn cigarette and place it between their lips, I swear to whatever power controls me that it restrain me, or else I'd go mad. I'd honestly go mad.

Sad story...but its pretty weird that your cousin could die by the effects of smoking at 17. Death by smoking is something that takes years and years to come..

Myself, i litterly quit since yesterday. And i'm dying. I'm gonna be 17 and i've been smoking since i was 13. And i did about 15-24 cigarettes a day. Its extremely hard.

[KaliKal]

my logic was always, why waste money to die sooner?

now if you talking about smokin tha reefer, then thats a different story

[KELSØv3.0]

I've never tried smoking, actually.
My mom, dad, aunt, and grandmother are all chain smokers, and I don't want my life to revolve around a little stick filled with potential death like they do.

[Resslerd]

I don't smoke cause it makes everything smell bad and it wastes money and I know I'm gonna want to quit sometime so might as well not start.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

I dont smoke either, but im somehow surrounded by smokers.

My mum quitted last month just after like, 10 years or so, my dad smokes, 6 of my friends smokes, my relatives (about 8) smokes, and i know a total of 23 smokers in my school.

So im pretty.... screwed i guess xD

And i did about 15-24 cigarettes a day

LOL wow. Youre like my classmate, except he could only go up to 16 a day at most.

[Wacer]

I have never tried smoking ether. I always hated that smell and i would not want to smell like that. Plus you can save so much money to buy more useful things

[exotica]

I don't smoke
I know a lot of younger people who smokes :(
It's not very good for their health

[The sunlight]

LOL wow. Youre like my classmate, except he could only go up to 16 a day at most.

Hell, if i had unlimted cash, it would probably go up to 50-100 :p

[•XxOucHxX•]

I dont smoke..never

[The sunlight]

true, its gross. But one who has never been addicted can't imagine how devine it can be sometimes

[Diablodoc]

I don't smoke. I have never tasted smoke. I won't smoke.
I don't like it when people smoke around me either. In my opinion, it smells bad, gives bad health and often makes people too self-confident and "b!tchy".

[Sushi]

Smoking is sick nasty shit. I would like to keep my lungs, thank you.

[Alagdam]

Well, I'm thinking about smoking on a regular basis. My g/f thinkings its a dirty habit, which I can agree upon. I usually only smoke socially and its only a part of the cigarette. I believe that it is a personal preference if someone decides to smoke just like the clothes you wear or the soda you drink. The youngish age I'd put a cap of 14 on smoking because if your 14-15 and you WANT to smoke your going to find a way to smoke.

But that's my personal opinion, and just to throw this in the dirty taste is dependent on what your smoking.

[The sunlight]

Don't do it. Smoking might seem nice, and at first it seems so, but its f*cking addictive, and you won't even realise it. After that, you will realize how bad it is and you won't be able to quit.

[Kenji]

Never smoked, never will.

I can't hang around smokers without covering my nose, it's just not cool. If I have a smoking friend, I'll clearly tell them to not do it near me.

[Alagdam]

Well Sunlight I'd have to say that smoking is addicting but only if the person themselves gets overly attached to it, I have a few friends that smoke quiet a bit on some days while only a little others, and have gone weeks without being tempted.

[Sarteck]

I never smoked until I was 18, almost 19. Heh.

But tbh, I don't really see much wrong with it.

Vampy: ban...ban...ban...ban...ban...

[Kenji]

^ It'll kill you, that's whats wrong with it.

But when you start you can't stop, so I suggest you stop before your life depends on a potential death stick.

[uni]

Uhhh... i've never smoked cigarettes, i can't stand them, but occasionally i do some shisha (tobacco for hookahs) for the flavor and it's fairly relaxing. I have a small blue hookah. :]

[Urdie]

Hmm i don't smoke...but I have..sometimes if i got a real bad headache it'll take it away but I'm not someone who smokes on a daily basis..but i see nothing wrong with it

[•XxOucHxX•]

I say smoking is just useless and stupid..
Very Bad for yourself...
If someone wants to smoke and really wants to do...
Id say he smoke only once a week or so..:D

[Sarteck]

Pfffft. If I was worried about being killed by doing things I like, I'd never have sex, never drive, and certainly never touch a computer for fear of shock! :O

Nah, I'm not encouraging smoking, but to SOME people, it's a pasttime and tradition... to some others, it's even a religion. Remember that when ye're knocking on it. ;)

Lololol, cigarettes. (http://www.thetruth.com/facts/useFulCig/)

[The sunlight]

Well Sunlight I'd have to say that smoking is addicting but only if the person themselves gets overly attached to it, I have a few friends that smoke quiet a bit on some days while only a little others, and have gone weeks without being tempted.


Well thats the thing...its a trap. You won't believe me, but your friends (and maybe yourself) are already addicted to cigarettes. In the beginning, you can go weeks without feeling the urge to smoke, but so what ? its not about how long you can go without smoking, its the fact that you DO smoke. Think about it. If your friends can go on weeks without being tempted, then why would they still continue to smoke ? because, its fun, and it tastes good ? and why is that ? do you think a person who has never smoked before, (and thus isn't addicted) would say that cigarettes are fun and taste good ? no. The fact that your friends can enjoy a cigarette already means they are addicted. Poisen smoke DOESN't taste good...its an illusion that smokers have.

[myrvann]

haven't tried it, and I won't try it either :3
My mom used to smoke and my dad smokes all the time..
None of my friends smoke anymore, they're using snuff/snus instead -_-

I've lived a good life without cigarettes, so I'll be able to live the rest of it without too

[Minami Itsuki]

Definitely not. I know people who smoke and they smell like sht. It also kills your body so no way.

[Tsunayoshi]

Never, I realy hate the smell of second hand smoke

[KenpachiDiego]

Smoking is gross and highly unattractive..unless you're James Dean, but most people aren't, so let's just say it's gross.

I've never smoked, but I'm probably going to die of second hand anyway. Half my town is surrounded by it. =

ummm then i win cos my names James Dean, so me ftw? :Haha Anyway i smoke, i enjoy it plus its a great way to enjoy the time between boutes of sex, imo, altho if my partner doesnt like it i dont, plus i have had a few gf's and bf's who didnt like the taste of a ciggarette everytime we kissed so i wouldnt smoke until we broke up then i'd go back to doing it on a regular basis.:winking56

ps POISON SMOKE FTW BIZNATCHES MROFL

[+KuSaKaBe+]

For some reason, I'm not bothered by the smell of smoke. My dad used to smoke at some point, but he quit after a month or two.

Couple of my friends do, but they're Juniors, so they''re probably allowed to do it anyway without giving a damn about getting caught.

[Alagdam]

Well your point is valid and I can't argue against someone who knows about the side effects so I'm going to leave it at this. Thank you sunlight for being gentle in your argument.

[Chibi.Doll]

Yeah, I smoke when I feel like it. :)

[furaieru]

<-- Trying to quit.

I started smoking when I went through some rough patches, and now it's been a few years and it's a hard thing to kick.

Hopefully I'll gather some willpower soon.

[The sunlight]

Well your point is valid and I can't argue against someone who knows about the side effects so I'm going to leave it at this. Thank you sunlight for being gentle in your argument.

Thank you :)
And i hope you never get truly addicted, i'm having a hard time quitting right now

[.Rik-uh-shey]

I smoke occasionally. I prefer clove cigarettes like Djarum Blacks. I just love the taste and that crackling sound it makes as I light up. It gives me a sensation that alcohol could never achieve.

So usually I just smoke to relax. Not addicted... yet.

[furaieru]

I think someone told me once that cloves were worse than regular cigarettes for you o.o could be wrong though..

[KenpachiDiego]

i too enjoy djarum blacks i loves the cloves, but exactly what u like about them i do as well. Plus it keeps my dad away from the room he hates the smell of burning cloves.:Haha
But yeah all of my friends that i usually hangout with smoke, so i naturally just picked it up, plus my dad smokes, so i finally jusy said wtf ever i guess i'll just try it. I liked it and i have enough money to support the habit so for now idc i like to smoke.

[SupraSpeed]

Pfffft. If I was worried about being killed by doing things I like, I'd never have sex, never drive, and certainly never touch a computer for fear of shock! :O

you said it sarteck. There are much worse things out there than smoking. I smoke occasionally, usually when I'm drinking with friends. I don't see anything wrong with it. You may not like it but just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong.

[Strifer]

I never smoke or have never ever smoked. ^^

[Karakura Red]

I'm not even legally allowed to smoke but i dont think i ever will...

[Vamp O Drama]

I don't smoke... Never have tried either. I hate the smell already...

[E-Zibit]

i have never smoked and hopefully never do (maybe a cigar).
My dad just quit so thats even more a reason not to.
For people that do smoke, dont do it near children please as it can smell and the kids wont like it.

[.Rik-uh-shey]

I just wish they weren't so damned expensive. The 8$ a pack price tag just makes them occasional delicacies for me.

[Gojira]

Haven't smoked in about 8 years but I recently started again... Been pretty stressed out with school and what not. Hopefully I'll have enough will power to quit again when the time comes. But honestly, it really wasn't that hard for me to quit back then. Where I'm from cigerettes are only a dollar!!! When go back to the states, that'll probably be a good time to quit... Too damn expensive to maintain that habit. I'd rather spend my money on other things... like booze.

*sigh*

[Chi]

I am what the call a social smoker, if i have a drink i feel it only right i have a smoke along with it. I don't know perhaps its the gentlemen in me... I do stay away from chain smoking though, because even if i were to smoke on the weekends when at the bar or club it would still do serious harm if i were to chain smoke and make up for lost time. It also depends on the people am around. Some people can not stand cigarettes so if i am with them i am careful to not smoke at all

[Addiction]

Cigarettes are about 4 bux here, at least the ones I smoke. I only smoke camels. Unless I dont have the money atm, then I will smoke Waves, they're a buck cheaper and made by the same company, RJ Reynolds. All their smokes are tolerable.

I love smoking and have been for 9 years... the only bad thing, for me, about that is I'm only 18 years old... O_o

~Dj~

[The sunlight]

Man, thats long..I quit a month now. And you should, too :p
Read books written by Allen Carr about smoking. After that, you'l TRULY realize what smoking is. You should really do it !

[Addiction]

Dude.. I know everything out there about smoking.. nothing's going to change my mind, especially not a book O_o

[Freya]

I have never smoked, not even once to try it. I just know what it can do to you. It also makes your house, car, clothes and yourself smell terrible.
BTW Clove cigarettes are even worse for you than tobacco ones. The cloves can actually cut up the inside of your lungs.

I'm all for people to be free to choose it though. If you want to smoke, smoke.

[Addiction]

That's why I only smoke cloves when I'm drunk, stoned or its a celebration. They have a numbing affect lol

And I only smoke cigarettes made by R.J. Reynolds. They use cotton in their filters. Marlboro uses Fiber glass XP

[Kamina]

I have never smoked, not even once to try it. I just know what it can do to you. It also makes your house, car, clothes and yourself smell terrible.

Heh, sounds like an anti-smoking campaign add to me. I dont smoke inside my house, so it doesnt smell. I rarely smoke in my car, but they have deodorizers that work wonders for this type of thing, I wash my clothes, so unless I have like 12 with a long sleeve cotton shirt, I dont smell too bad. And for myself, I wear deodorant/cologne and chew gum after cigarettes, so I dont really smell either. I have modern day showers to thank for that :)

If there is anyone who thinks that there is anyone out there who doesnt know smoking is bad for you, your pretty useless. I dont think we need books to tell us the harms of smoking, they kind of burn it in your skull basically daily; anti-smoking commercials, radio, news, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, parents, etc. If you dont know by now, your pretty stupid.

Seriously though, McDonalds is bad for you too, but you dont see many anti-fast food commercials and such. And just like eating fast food, there are some people who do it every day, and others who do it sparingly. Most people I know who smoke do about a pack or two a week. Not every smoker is a pack or two a day.

Its a personal choice whether to smoke or not, and given the facts about how bad it is for you, I still decide to do so. I smoke about 1 pack every two weeks, so its not like im terrible. I usually stop when im not in school.

Fun fact: smoking is bad for you. It can weaken your immune system by preventing the ciliary action in your lungs for about 4 to 5 hours after a cigarette, preventing the movement of mucus out of the lungs. When heavy smokers go to sleep, the cilia start acting again, and when the smoker awakes (the evil bastard), he coughs up excess mucus built up from being unable to swallow in their sleep and develops what people most popularly call "the smokers cough".

[Addiction]

Seriously though, McDonalds is bad for you too, but you dont see many anti-fast food commercials and such.

Subway commercials! lol

But yes, 99% of smokers know what it can do. But none really care. I've known since before I started. Still started smoking.

[Freya]

Heh, sounds like an anti-smoking campaign add to me.

I was saying why I don't smoke. I had a friend/roommate who smoked a lot and she had to do laundry all the time and shower several times a day to get rid of the odor.

Its a personal choice whether to smoke or not


And I did state that it is someones choice to smoke. I would never vote for it to be made illegal.

I just don't choose to do it myself for the reasons I stated in my earlier post.

[Addiction]

That's good. I would never pressure someone to start smoking and I would never put down someone who didn't smoke. For some reason there are a lot of people like that out there

[Dark Fire]

That's good. I would never pressure someone to start smoking and I would never put down someone who didn't smoke. For some reason there are a lot of people like that out there

Thats how I started smoking someone pressured me into it, but I actually enjoy a good smoke from time to time

[Kamina]

lol, peer pressure ftw! :)

My curiosity got the best of me personally. Kinda how I started doing drugs and drinking too, no pressure, just curiosity. I am someone who wants to experience the world, when I see something im missing out on, I want to see why. I guess this is either a sink or swin attitude, but I think its just because I am really ambitious, which is where my curiosity stems from.

Dont tell me that people who have never had a cigarette in their life dont wonder what its like to inhale a cigarette. There is a reason people have been doing it for years, its just fun and relaxing. No high or anything, but I enjoy it and so do other smokers.

I would never pressure anyone else into doing it, considering I know the consequences of doing it. Its not like drinking alcohol, the liver is self repairing. Or doing drugs, because most drugs dont damage you from infrequent use. But smoking is exposing yourself to carcinogens, it lowers your immune system, etc. Its bascially a consequences vs pleasure thing. If you dont smoke a lot you should be alright though. Usually people who get cancer are susceptible to getting it anyways and probaby would have got it regardless of smokig or not.

[Addiction]

Peer pressure it for losers who can't just find the common interest in others but instead force on friends.. XP

If you smoke, cool. If you dont, cool. I won't smoke around someone who doesn't usually, but if I do I make sure not to blow smoke near them. Just my way,...

[Lelouch]

Smoking is a matter of choice.

In our lives , many opportunities will rise for us to start smoking. Being depressed , stressed
can well lead to smoking.

Smoking is not inherintly bad , or good. It is damaging sure , it can kill , sure but it isn't 'bad' enough for it to be made illegal.

I've smoked before , and I'll say it isn't anything that special. My advice to you people is to do what you want. If you want to give it a try , do so. Just dont do this to follow the stereotype of the 'cool-smoker guy' e.t.c.

Trying something new is always good.

Just don't overdo it peeps.

[sag47]

For me its a turn off on a relationship level if its a habit. I know people who are like "I only smoke when I drink" but when you drink alot then smoking becomes a habit even when you're not drinking.

If she stinks from smoking then she smokes too much so she's not for me. I occasionally smoke Djarum Blacks (commonly called cloves) because they taste good. But that is only once every blue moon.

[anamacote]

Yes but only when i´m drunk!I can´t drink alcohol often because it is dangerous to me (diabetes)!

[Kuran Kaname]

i used to smoke when i lived opn my own in phoenix. i started because i was goin to college and living on my own for hte first time so it was a stress reliefe

[choking]

i never tried smoking.... almost all of my friends smoke so i get a lot of second hand smoke from them. T_T.. i always tell them to stop. hopefully someday theyll listen to me.. dont smoke! dont even try once! if you are.. try to minimize then quit.. ^ ^

[Sanji]

Everyone on my college campus smokes. The place is littered.
My Grandmother tried to get me to smoke once (lol awkward).

Never again. I almost died.
Besides cig smoke hurts my head. X.x

[Bun]

I've smoked once or twice before but only to (stupidly) seem cool around my friends. That was years ago. I don't smoke now because a) it's really, really, really, really disgusting and b) I have asthma, so I'd be screwing myself over even more if I did.

[Ginko]

Smoking is definitely a problem. But I don't bother myself in insisting people stop. Why? It's their decisions; but if it effects my health (second hand smoke, I just move to another place). They already know the fatal infirmities or death that may occur, so it's no use in convincing them. The only person who should convince them is themselves.

[p.zack]

I have never smoked, and don't ever plan to either. I like my health the way it is, thank you very much. :)

I get pissed off when people puff cigarette smoke in my face though. -.-

[soifonlover]

I wouldn't dear smoke. If my parents ever smelled the cigarette smoke on my clothes they would probably disown me. I can't have that happening. Plus I can't stand the smell of smoke either. It really bothers me .

[anamacote]

No,i don´t smoke!I used to smoke when i was on parties.
But i hate the cigarette smoke!Aww!!

[Anime Princess]

smoking is bad for u and i read that it can give u cancer....


im never going to do it

[Akito]

I'm trying to quit smoking, but it's very very hard O.O... And I think a lot of smokers know it effecting their health so people don't bother trying to scare them with those health facts, propaganda, ads, commercials, and what not.. :3

[Helios]

An everyday smoker, thought about quiting but dude it's so hard..

it's like an itch that never goes away


bad for my wallet too

[ichigo-01]

sometimes i smoke usually when im drinking or hanging out with friends but other than that i i really dont smoke

[PlushGiraffe]

ewww smoking is disgusting!
its like, the totally most vile thing you can do to yourself!
i dont know how people can even stand just putting a cigarette in their mouths never mind smoking one!

[8bitDerilict]

ehhhh i definitly dont smoke ciggarettes
now pot.......i rarely do it
and only cause either im pissed off or i just want that feeling where i cant feel my legs lmao

but still i RARELY do it

[amayanesca]

Me cannot smoke. Ive tried but I wonts try again cause it kills meh (no pun intended)

[.Flow]

Don't smoke, and nevr intend to, filthy habit IMO. Unluckily for me both my parents smoke >.<.

[Upgrade]

I smoke sometimes. But not alot.

[Lilia]

i tried smoking once when my friend gave me to try but i start coffing. that is why i dont smoke at all. smoking is bad but i think people can choose if they want to smoke. i dont mind people smoking. and I would like to smoke but i cant because i start coffing :(

[Hattori.pt]

I don't Smoke... and I don't know how people can be addicted to such a thing, i already smoked some cigarettes but it's not a thing that give me pleasure... the same goes for alcohol, coke please

[yoco007]

Smoked for a week when I was 10 or something like that. Never smoked again and probably won't.

[Rox]

I dont see the point in it, in the long run nothing good comes out of it so why do it?

[ToT]

I only smoke 3 - 4 cigs a day...
I'm still able to be athletic and I don't really wanna stop seeing that it calms me down alot... Especially before or after school tests...

However, it's easy to get addicted to cigarettes and they do take a whole chunk out of your wallet, so the best would be not to start, but the effects cigarettes have on your body aren't half as bad as most people make you beleive...

[anamacote]

I used to smoke on parties but i just give up smoking because i hate the smell.Ufff.Too much for me!And i hate to come home and get a shower at 04:00a.m. I hate it!

[xTimehawkx]

I have a pretty bad reaction to smoke, so there's no way I can smoke. Prices for cigarettes also always go up, so its also an expensive habit as well.

[icekimi]

well i do smoke.but it's not regularly,i smoke Socially/...like when i'm stressed or something it depends

[Emerald]

I don't smoke, I never liked the whole smelling of the actual smoke.

[Senna6]

I tried smoking back when i was 11 or 12 .. but only one or two cigarettes ... today however I hangout with a bunch of smokers and while i don't smoke myself i guess i get a fix by just standing in the cloud my friends make...

[Holly]

Even though I'm under constant and steady pressure every waking hour of my life, I have yet to put a cigarette between my lips. And it will stay that way. My mind may seem weak, but at the same time, It is also strong.

[Stinkerpink]

I smoke. And i WILL tell u no to.

I started smoking a couple of yrs ago. Something bad happened and i wanted to either cut my hair short, get a tattoo or do something totally freaky wich ppl didnt expect me to do. It was sort of a form of self corruption. And thats the only reason i still do. I dont smoke at all around my dads house or my sisters house. And dont have a problem not smoking when the environment im in tells me not to.

Oh well..doesnt make sense to u? I dont blame you. Dont even try to understand this...if u dont, u just dont. And thats just fine. But still...dont smoke! tsk tsk!

[Lusania]

I've tried when i was 5 i think I remember when my mum put it in my mouth and told me to breathe in , because i use to try steal her smokes, then omg, i remember how it tasted ewww, its like something died in me.

Ever since then i despise people who smoke and will never smoke in my life.
But my whole family smokes so it sucks.

[deto]

don't smoke, use nicorette....


(subtile product placement) :D

[theshadowtaker1]

In my almost 21 years of life all I have ever come near smoking is putting a cigarette in my mouth without lighting it and taking it back out again

[myrvann]

I don't smoke at all. Almost no one over here smokes anymore, they use snus in stead.
which is even more disgusting, especially loose ._.
But I guess it's a trend. And I don't use that either.
at least it's possible to look somewhat good with smoke.
when using snus you look like a monkey ._.
it's especially ugly on girls.
but what the heck. let 'em do it if they want to.

[pookalooza]

just looking at this thread made me want one.

cheers
