Smoking?

[maximoose666]

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?

Personally I smoked a bit of some girl's cigarette once but I didn't really like it, it just tastes kinda dirty to me :(

[MetroidManiac]

Its a bad habit. but im not here to tell you you shouldunt

[jhina]

I smoke from time to time, it varies by how I am doing mainly just to release stress.

[angelicdesire]

I only smoke when i got stressed or pissed off, when i don't have anything to drink. i do smoke with friends at times, but i am gonna quit :)

[Silhouette]

Smoking is lame. My mom's bf smokes, and he brings that smell in the house. It's so hard to get that smell out too.. Second hand smoke sucks too. Why should I get lunge cancer because you..er..nvm.

Do w/e you want to. Just try not to smoke against the wind, the people walking/standing behind you will suffer for it. >_>;

[Kalashnikov]

Smoking is bad. Ive smoked before, it is good for relieving stress, but it would hurt you in the long term.
i sometimes smoke shisha though (you know that bubbly thing with the flavour, lol)

[Icchy <3]

Mhm, Iv'e never smoked (Because of my age mostly) But Iv'e always said to my mum and freinds that I would never consider smoking, because it can really effect your health badly in the long term.
Lots of people say that they only smoke to relive stress. Thats fine, but only for the first couple of days. Soon you'll smoke, fell good for 15 minitues and then start to crave another until eveanutly your smoking 60 a day, and being diagonosed with lung cancer.

Please don't be offened with you smoke and you think I'm critising you. I'm not, I just don't want to smoke :(

[Semprini]

nope never smoked, and never will. i don't really care if you smoke, however to much can get rather irritating.

[SoundWave]

Tried smoking a cigar this new years eve.. nothing special, kinda liked it.. Though I wouldn't consider smoking on a regular basis. Never tried smoking cigarettes b4 though. It's just a bad habit that can give serious consequences..

[Kay™]

try b4 and its suck and never wanna do it again...

[Chrono Detector]

Never smoked in my life. I really hate the smell of tobacco, and I also hate it when people smoke next to you.

[Evanesque]

I think I first started smoking when I was 11 and continued occassionally. I never really got hooked on it though. My aunt (mom's younger sis) was the one who kinda introduced me to it XD

I do agree it's a bad habit and I'm happy that I can live without ever having a cig ever again. It's not that I don't like smoking, to me it doesn't really matter, I just choose not to smoke.

Will power plays a very important part in doing things. If you have strong will power, no one can push you around and you'd have a sensible idea of the consequences. Some kids, and even adults, are easily influenced by others thus threatening their own lives.

Smoking at a young age is really bad for your health, it damages your lungs, leads to cancer and even infertility (I'm not too sure about that).

They say, the smoke from one cig takes 3 years to clear out from your lungs. The same applies to non-smokers who hang around smoking people (passive smoking). It's equally harmful for them as if they were smoking a cig themselves. That is why it is advisable for parents to avoid smoking in front of their children.

[SLVR]

I smoked when I was like 13. It was bad I didnt like it. I dont let my friends smoke around me my car, house ....

Id never date a girl who smoked regularly. I know alot of girls who smoke. They stink,have yellow teeth, have dry teeth...
yeah
I dun like smokin

[teddyen]

no..never smoke before...my parents don't smoke, and i'm glad of it...
it smells horrible to me XD especially second hand smoke

[MooL]

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. =\

[M_A]

Ya, I tried it several times. None of those timesdid I find it pleasant, so I never really picked up the habit.

[Sakura]

unfortunately, i'm a regular smoker and have been since i was 19. i blame it on my ex who is the worst a**hole in the world and he screwed me up real bad at that time. i was smoking a pack or just a little more a day my last year since i was stressed out over projects, presentations and tests but i've managed to cut back to 6-8 a day after i finished college and to 4 a day on my days off. unless it's real busy at work or i get a bad customer then it goes up to 10 that day.

i've smoked a lot of different brands too. in my lame attempt to quit, i went from kool super longs (filter kings 100's but they call it super longs) to milds 100's to lights 100's to ultra lights 100's and finally to ultra lights which is what i smoke now. in my poor delusional head this meant i was going backwards in menthol intensity and would therefore help me to quit. but mostly the reason i haven't quit is cuz i don't have the intense need to quit. i know i should for various reasons but i just don't have the will power right now. hopefully i'll psych myself out one day and quit once in for all. :lol

Maybe you should try that tobacco flavored gum if you wanna quit, it helped my dad...
I swear to God, my entire family including grandmother had smoked and then quit and then smoked again like 50 times, but now everyone quit, so i can breathe without being slowly killed, yay.

[Jasper]

Hmm...

Nope, I'm no smoker. Most of my friends are though. Even my roommate is a chain smoker. Though I've never been attracted to the idea of smoking itself. I did try smoking under my friend's influence, but I didn't like it =p.

[bbnflpn]

you guys should never say never, usually never ends up to be what happens anyway.

i said for years that i would never smoke, i hated it, i hated being around it, smelling it ect. my parents never smoked (they stopped smoking and drinking before i was born)

but alas, i smoke, regularly. i plan on quitting some time but not now i dont want to i like to smoke.

and then i find out that my mom, who had stopped smoking when she was pregnant with me, has been a closet smoker for years oh the horror. so now me and my sister (who also smokes btw) have to induldge her smoking secrecy since my dad would probably freak if he found out. before she would blame the smoke smell on grandma, now she blames it on my sister (who lives next door to her) the only time i have to help out with that can of worms if she is visiting me or if i am visiting her, she always says hey lets go here (4 hour drive away) yah mom you just want to have a few smokes while we are out lol.

[Sakura]

but alas, i smoke, regularly. i plan on quitting some time but not now i dont want to i like to smoke.



i know how that is. i'm supposed to quit, was supposed to quit after i finished college back in 2005 and what did i do? nothing... i still smoke. i know i should quit, but i like to smoke. so i make lame excuses to trick myself into thinking i'm quiting all the while i have no intention of stopping.

[M_A]

lol, a scary resemblance to the Touching Yourself thread...

[Blekblek]

The irony of smoking for stress relief is that it's the smoking that makes you stressed. It's the nicotine withdrawal that amplifies your stress, really.

I used to smoke. I don't think I ever became highly addicted because I'm on an anti-depressant that is also marketed as Zyban, which is kinda helpful. I don't think I could ever become a regular smoker because, well, I'm stingy. And cigarettes cost a serious amount of money. I don't really like the idea of spending my money on something that is effectively giving me bad health. I prefer not to be around people who smoke if I can; it's bizarre that some people are offended if I don't want them to smoke in my house or car. "Oh, really, I'm so very sorry. Feel free to make me sick and stinky, it's fine." Thank goodness for anti-smoking laws.

For some reason I stole a cigarette from a friend a few weeks back and maaan it tasted good. But I got over it. Not spending my money on that crap.

[bbnflpn]

yah my dr wants me to stop so i can have a surgery on my leg again, and loose weight (which i have done yet i have no medical insurance so stopping smoking is not a priority right now)

i dont think that its anything like the touching your self thread.

however i belive that smoking is an oral fixation brought on from when we were babies since we use replacement items to help ween our selfs. (pacifiers, tumbs, bottles and other such things) if we dont smoke we chew our fingers, nails cuticles or eat impulsivly.

of course this is not always the case, but it is for alot of people who smoke and then they have issues when the quit because they have to replace it iwth something else, that is why alot pf people gain weight when they stop smoking. or rather they confuse nic fits with hunger pains as well

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

I don't believe in pple who get addicted and need to smoke more and more as the time passes. I myself am a smoker. But it's the matter of pacing yourself. I find that ppl who are older understand the meaning of smoking.

For example,

When u start out young, u wanna smoke a lot just to show that you are smoking even when your throat hurts. But when u are older, smoking is like a luxury to enjoy personally. Nothing to show off abt. It's to be enjoyed.

And also, u will not crave more and more...it's is not speed or ice u are smoking ya know..u won't want to smoke more n more cuz it hurts your throat after a while.

Lastly, I am not trying to glamourise smoking, it's just my personal view.

[Seto]

Smoking.... Nope, never tried.
You see, my mother smokes a lot... So I can see with my own eyes why smoking is so bad :/.

[Elocin]

Hm. I'll admit I tried it a few times. Only once have I ever had a craving to smoke. But yeah, other than that I'm not addicted.

A couple of my friends and I tried starting together and they got addicted and I didn't. I feel kinda bad for them. I must have a high resistance to addictions. I work around people who smoke regularily and I don't get any cravings at all.

[S.J.Shinigami]

im on the same page as seto with this one, my brother smokes like its candy and now hecant breathe well and has asthma now. i personally have been offered to smoke quite a few times but have no problem saying no. call me narrowminded, but i run a lot so smoking wouldnt help me none. oh, yeah, and its for dum dum retards too.

[deto]

never tried, not going to try.

when friends started to smoke and the topic came up, my parents said
"there is either sport or smoking and they don't work together. sport
was always more important for me.
they might have been looking cool with their smokes, but well starting to
caugh like hell after some running.... wasn't so cool.

it's also that it is kinda expensive, and i can't see why i should pay for
something that has 0 benefit. ok people might say it makes you calm
or it just tastes good. i can't imagine.

but i'm ok with smokers, i don't mind. it's everyones own choice. :)

[Reefern86]

Here are my thoughts on smoking...Smoke as much as u want! It's ur body man, and I've been smikung for awhile now...We all know what it does to u, and if u still do it...more power to ya! I actually do it FOR the side effects! I don't want to live past 70...so i figure the more i light up the less chances i have of going past 70...which is freakn AWESOME!

[deto]

well if you look at it this way. sure you could die young even if you lived your life
totally healthy. you can die of old age even tho you have been excessive smoking
and drinking (unlikely).

and i intend to live forever, so far so good ;)

[재]

I never, I'm probably too young too.. Never tried it, even though my friend tried it
and I think the smell isn't so bad
but it's bad for you, so I won't do it
But my Father use to smoke, but then he stopped :)
I find it strange if a female smoke, no offence or anything.. I just feel.. it's not appropriate xD
Makes you like a Gangsta man xD

[Future]

I tried smoking out for like a couple of weeks, but then i just couldn't be bothered doing it anymore and i stopped

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

no. What people always think that, it's the smoke smells bad.

But it's the 2nd-hand smokers that think that way. the smoke inhaled doesn't smell that bad at all...

[Helikaon]

Exactly... most non-smokers that are against it have this impression that the second hand smoke is exactly the same as the one you inhale.. but it isnt. I used to take the stance that I hated smoking because I have a sensitive nose. But once i tried I realised it wasnt as bad as I thought. But people dissing it when they havnt even tried is pretty illogical.

[Pipp-ORK]

I've never smoked, nope. I don't plan on trying it out, either. I can't die before beating FFXII. >=O

If I ever did, grandma would find out, somehow.

And she'd totally KILL me. :Domo

Like...Grannysmash x34753845345345. >_>

i quote myself for this one, cause the reasons you try it vary, some people need to smoke, others dont. and one of the ones who dont.

[Mighty Aramir]

Im 16, and I started when I was 13, yeah I know its bad *lowers his sight*
But I dont mind passing away young, knowing that I lived my life at its best, and tried all I could in order to make life...suck less

Meh, inhaled smoke tasted pretty much like second hand smoke to me except it was a bit more "smoky" as in more like the smoke from an actual fire or something. But it was still pretty dirty imo :p

[DARK_ZANGETSU]

Smoking Is Bad Im Glad I Never Started All My Friends Do But Thank God I Dont Those Guy Loook Half Dead As Iit Is And Smoking Is A Cheap Way For U To Lose Ur Money Aint Worth It I Wished My Dad Never Smoked

[Rihaku]

Second hand smoke is nearly as harmful as inhaled smoke. Not completely as harmful, but very close. The principle of government is that one's rights are respected so long as one respects other's rights. You shouldn't violate people's rights to health/life by smoking in a public area.

If you want to die young, kill yourself in a more exciting way. Lung cancer is excruciatingly painful.

[silentyas]

I smoke cigarettes and bubly a lot, but not in regular bases
smoking is bad if you become a slave to the cigarette, not the other way round

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

Smoking Is Bad Im Glad I Never Started All My Friends Do But Thank God I Dont Those Guy Loook Half Dead As Iit Is And Smoking Is A Cheap Way For U To Lose Ur Money Aint Worth It I Wished My Dad Never Smoked


Excuse, I resent the that by saying pple looking half dead. It is mean and not true. If you have seen pics of icestorm32 and i on the forums it is obvious we don't look half dead.

And I shall stress this again, please, smoking is not like taking speed, ice, or HEROIN. They dun make u look half dead unless u chose to look half dead yourself.

[Helikaon]

Maxi you must have not smoked it correctly or had a cheap brand.. its very difficult to get a good impression with a first puff because your body isnt used to inhaling it. If done correctly it isnt so unpleasant as you said. there is a certain flavour to it.

[_Ink]

Please... bashing smoking is wrong.
it is just like racism.
bashing smokers is like that.

I personally smoke on a casual basis, I think it helps me get in the mood for parties and stuff, I smoked so far from december till now, twice.

Once with about 5 sticks on Xmas party down at Torch's
and then 3 sticks for new years while celebrating at the Cork's Choice

Both are wine tasting parties I got invited to, since I once told that I have tried to quit, one can say I no longer feel the desire to smoke unless well... I am doing party hard all night.

[Muja]

Smoking is bad. Ive smoked before, it is good for relieving stress, but it would hurt you in the long term.
i sometimes smoke shisha though (you know that bubbly thing with the flavour, lol)

Hehe Shisha. Where I live smoking is something normal. If some of the locals around here didn't smoke it would be a surprise for anyone. But anyway smoking is a bad habit. All my friends smoke find it hard to quit but its up to them. But i know they don't wan quit:P.

[Ios]

you know, I'm quite used to smoking people.
Most of my friends smoke at school (actually, mostly the girls...) and I too smoke, but only at parties or something. just to get the light-in-the-head feeling. miraculously enough I still get that feeling from a single cigarette...

I find the rules applied to smoking quite stupid here in the Netherlands. When my father was young EVERYONE smoked. My grandparents even set a box with cigarettes on the table for the guests...
but now it's totally wrong to smoke. billions of commercials on tv about quitting and they're even wanting to make smoking illegal in some bars/café's...! It's going the wrong way as well. Now it's so unaccepted, guess what the youth is going to do...
I only have 2 or 3 friend who don't smoke at a party...

[SLVR]

You know I rly wasnt honest. If thier was a black and mild id hit it. Not to look cool and stuff but I like the smelll.
But still smoking=bad for you

[Kay™]

hmm smoking.....i try it onece and its was hard to get rid the habit...it took me few years for me to get over it...

[Vladimir]

hmm.. smoking is bad fer health uu noe!! so duunn try it twice.. once uu wuunn get addictedd.. but twice uu will.. when ii ever be a pm.. i wanna bann smoking in singapore.. smell the smoke gives me headache..

Okay, you're probably right. Anyway, I'm not anti-smoking / anti-smokers or anything, I just don't want to smoke myself :)

[DFlux]

My mother smoked throughout her pregnancy with me, and throughout my entire life. My father quit when I was born. Somehow, my sister picked up smoking, regardless of the various times my mother has had scary heart/lung issues. "It was too tempting/helped me get over stress", she says. Personally, I have never felt the urge to smoke whatsoever, and don't see it happening in the future.

To me it's not only disgusting (for the last two years the smell has made me want to hurl) but it just holds no appeal whatsoever. I don't see any advantage to it, myself. When I'm stressed, there's anime, reading, writing, talking to friends, listening to music, long baths, anything and everything.

Rarely any alcohol (special occasions) and no coffee either. I'm just not that easily addicted to things, I guess.

For one thing, I'm not one to cave in to peer pressure, but for another, most of my friends in my circle don't smoke/drink heavily either, and so have never offered it to me. The few times it has been offered, I just said "no thanks" like "I'm fine for now" and they would leave me alone.

[Future]

If people want to smoke that's there own choice, and good on 'em for being able to think on there own... lol... i have nothing against smokes... sometimes when i go to one of my mates places... i might have one... (cause most of them smoke)... but that's like once every few months...

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

hmm.. smoking is bad fer health uu noe!! so duunn try it twice.. once uu wuunn get addictedd.. but twice uu will.. when ii ever be a pm.. i wanna bann smoking in singapore.. smell the smoke gives me headache..


omg!! i will hurt u if u make SG ban smoking!! That means when i go back i cannot smoke in MOMO anymore!

My darling MOMO....

DUN BAN IN SINGAPORE!

[Helikaon]

Actually to those who were shocked that most of the smokers they know are female.. it is a fact that the most percentage of the world that smokes is actually female. Hows that?

btw fatality.. are u female or male? just curious..

[Dynasty!]

Ive smoked once before I didnt like it,the smell just everything about it. Ive never smoked weed before but I know a lot of people who do I dont know if I would like but I liked the smell(yea im weird like that), But No one in my family smokes,thank god cuz I hate second hand smoke.

[Kefka]

I only smoke when i got stressed or pissed off, when i don't have anything to drink. i do smoke with friends at times, but i am gonna quit :)

You better quit. :P

I don't smoke....nasty habit.

[Xferox 02]

i never seen a heavy smoker
have a pretty girl friend, never.

[angelicdesire]

You better quit. :P
I don't smoke....nasty habit.

guess what........i quit smoking.

thats right i no longer smoke, as far as cravings.....eh had a minor one. but im good :headbang

[Daifuku]

lol, my friend smoke ... accidentally xD cuz we were doing the nicotine project stuff whata whata...`

and well, I never smoke... >.> and I DON'T want/need/obsessed with that thing cuz I hate the smell. smells like ... herbs but that is rotten. :Z

[Xferox 02]

yup herb but rotten herbs, you smoke and you will never get a girl friend

[Mighty Aramir]

thats not true, i smoke and my gf is beautiful (and she doesnt smoke)

[Xferox 02]

do you smoke like 2 packs a day?

[Mighty Aramir]

hmmm, like one, but only cause I live with my lil brother and I dont want him to get the habbit

[Xferox 02]

not every women hates tobacco, your just lucky

[Mighty Aramir]

yeah, being with her makes me feel lucky *sighs*

[Mavvy]

I've tried a cigarette before but it didn't suit my taste. I don't like the way they smell and how the smell gets on your clothes really fast. I have like a highten sense of smell. So like after someone that just smoked only one cigerette walks by my open dormroom door I can smell it which really bothers me.

Also, smoking causes too many bad things for rmy liking and I also think that the price of buying packs add up over time and alot of money is spent on them.

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

hmm...that means we are feeding each other's habits...i smoke my bf smokes...smoke smoke smoke..

[Elocin]

Yeah.

I really hate how it gets on your clothes, and then everyone knows you did it.

[Arelen]

I don't like smoke at all. Even when it's just fire in a fireplace. I can't imagine how it would be if I smoked.

[Xferox 02]

cig suppose to calm you down if you get nervous,

[Novoxis]

Personally I HATE smoke and so I never will start but I don't see it as a reason to try and force others too. You'll learn from your mistakes.... maybe.

[Kay™]

i hate smoke too since they damage my brain and also my health and i get annoy when someone smoking in front of me

[II Xion II]

I have never smoked anything..........EVER!!! Its funny because my cousin got into smoking cigars when he was like 14, and my uncle would constantly offer them to me as well (I was around 15), but I always refused. Almost did drugs and shit on some occasions, but I guess common sense and different experiences got the best of me and now I am clean and will be hopefully for the rest of my life.

[Xferox 02]

my uncle never smoked or drank liquor, i only smoked weed twice, then i just stoped yeah its bad for you. dont smoke!!!

[_Ink]

smoking is good for Metabolism.
if you are really cutting down weight and have a metabolism slow down, try smoking, not that I encourage it tho. Options are always open.

[Kray]

I'm against smoking, but at the same time I'm not. So I guess I'm a hypocrite.

I lost my grandfather due to cancer, because he smoked so much. Now I have friends that smoke all the time, but it doesn't bother me.
The only thing I smoke is Hookah.
Basically flavored watered-tobacco.
So it's not really terrible, but it's still smoking.

[Xferox 02]

eat more fruit and vegatable, work as good as cigs

[Mighty Aramir]

x why were you banned?

[Xferox 02]

cuz i said religion cause war and chaos in one of the thread, some jack ass reported me for speaking freely.

[Mighty Aramir]

yeah, bad comment, even worsely stated, I think I read it

[Xferox 02]

lol i know my rights!!!! free of speach!!!
i mean think about it, the crusade, world war II, and the past 6000 years human been killing each other for what they think that exist, thats just my opinion

[Mighty Aramir]

yeah, but as dragonblade said and I quote: "there is no freedom of speech in the forum. READ THE RULES"

[Xferox 02]

yeah i found it after i got banned, lol ok cool back to topic, i dont smoke cuz i dont want to smell like rotten eggs

[Mighty Aramir]

I smoke and I dont smell like rotten eggs, I smell like good cologne (the closest to metrosexuality i'll ever get) and nicotine

[Xferox 02]

different ppl's hormones have different reaction to nicotine

[iladys]

To each his own. I've got heaps of relatives and friends that smoke and I don't mind they smoke, just as long as they don't do it in my face cause I have trouble breathing, can't stand the smell. So no, me don't smoke.

[Xferox 02]

everything depends,

[iladys]

Im sure it depends on upbringing or the environment but its the individual's choice to smoke. Sure they might want to stop along the way but its the will power to get through that. It can be tough, just as long as you have people supporting you.

[Kray]

Actually, oddly enough and it could be luck, my acne clears up when I smoke Hookah. Woo!

[Xferox 02]

but still cig is still bad for you lung

[Anubisrage]

but still cig is still bad for you lung

Actually its bad for every part of your body...
Maybe Ill make a new threat about the full effects of smoking...
(it even causes you to get cancer of the penis and it will be hard for you to get it up!!!)

[~Anime4Life~]

no i dont smoke, i made a promise to my mother as a child never to do so

[Xferox 02]

good boy, 15 second of your life is taken away for each cig you smoke

[Anubisrage]

good boy, 15 second of your life is taken away for each cig you smoke
I just wanna say, its not 15 seconds...
Each cig takes away 11 minutes of your life, not including the time you take to smoke it.
(just a technicality)
And here is a thread I made which lists all the effects of smoking, if you wanna check it out...

yeah i will cuz my firend smokes, did you feel that the more your friend smokes the less you want to
Yeah especially when you see him choking and coughing like crazy...

[zaffy04]

smoking can kill you and it is a bad habit... i would never try smoking cause when i go on the street and inhale some other persons smoke it smells really bad

[BrokenImage]

I think I first started smoking when I was 11 and continued occassionally. I never really got hooked on it though. My aunt (mom's younger sis) was the one who kinda introduced me to it XD
I do agree it's a bad habit and I'm happy that I can live without ever having a cig ever again. It's not that I don't like smoking, to me it doesn't really matter, I just choose not to smoke.
Will power plays a very important part in doing things. If you have strong will power, no one can push you around and you'd have a sensible idea of the consequences. Some kids, and even adults, are easily influenced by others thus threatening their own lives.
Smoking at a young age is really bad for your health, it damages your lungs, leads to cancer and even infertility (I'm not too sure about that).
They say, the smoke from one cig takes 3 years to clear out from your lungs. The same applies to non-smokers who hang around smoking people (passive smoking). It's equally harmful for them as if they were smoking a cig themselves. That is why it is advisable for parents to avoid smoking in front of their children.

Actually no, it just takes 4 years for your lungs to clean themselves out and be like new again. And second hand smoke is worse because its passing through one set of lungs already further more passing twice as much carbon monoxide into the second hand smoker.

Anyway i had a cig every once and awhile when i was 17 and then i really started at 18, and now i have one every hour on the hour. I love cigarettes and i dont care what other people think... they make me happy and give me semi stress free relief.

[Thelindra]

I just hate smoking and smokers.....it juz stink >_<;

[Abarai]

i dont smoke and i dont intend to ever try it

[_mike_]

i dont smoke or drink


i made a promise to my parents that i wouldnt smoke :-\

[Anubisrage]

i dont smoke or drink
i made a promise to my parents that i wouldnt smoke :-\
More importantly, you should make a promise to yourself...

[Thelindra]

and also a promise to yur health.

somehow i think that smokers got some death wish or something like that >_>;

[Kyoko<3!]

Smoking has got to be one of the freaking dumbest things you can be doing in your life >.>
Money and health both out the window.

[Anubisrage]

I used to smoke when I was a kid... about 6 or 7 years old... never got addicted though... I used to drink as well... never got drunk... I seem to have a tolerence to alchohol... since I used to drink and smoke, I can tell you that both are stupid and not worth the while...
(I used to drink very rarely, like a litre in my whole life... never liked it though...)

[Anubisrage]

I had a VERY strange dream last night.
I was smoking by the poolside.
I finished 5 packets. =\
I don't understand why I had that dream... but the fact that I was smoking makes it even more weirder.
I've never considered smoking. Ever.
Its just a random dream...
Nothing serious, Last night I had one about my headphones being too small o_O I KNOW!!!

[-Urahara-Kisuke-]

well i have never smoked and i will never smoke ^_^

[Reefern86]

Alright...if this thread shows one thing...it's that the tobaco business is screwed! So, y they making comercials to try and screw it even more? waste of money if u ask me! But i'm going to continue to help the tobaco buisness. I'll just have to smoke more to make up for all the ppl that have decided without trying...that it aint worth it! Thx for the extra smokes guys ;)

[DragonBlade]

Never tried it and never will. Just the smell of it already turns me off.

[elendil15900]

I personally think that smoking CAN ruin your life, im not saying that it always does, but I'm not willing to take that risk.

[pero_renji!]

I don't have anything against smoking, but i dont smoke myself as i think its a waste of money, time, will and health.

[A2k]

I have no shame in admitting that I used to smoke cannabis, and that people claim it's as addictive as smoking cigs - rubbish.

Cannabis has no addiction factor whatso ever - I quit smoking it approximately 3 weeks or so ago and haven't faltered once, I found it incredibly easy to quit ganj, however, for someone who does smoke cigs as I obviously do, or else I'd never be able to hold down smoking cannabis, quitting cigs is a lot more difficult if you are addicited to them.

I tried quitting both ganj and cigs at the same time, and I once again have no shame in admitting I failed the later.

I have since managed to cut down a hell of a lot, and I know myself it's only a matter of time and willpower before I can kick cigs entirely.

I'm hoping that once I've quit cannabis for a LENGTHY period of time, quitting cigs will become an easier challenge.

[Xkavanger]

I really really really really really really really HATE smoking!!
I don't like the fact people think it's "Cool"... well no.. it doesn't... Hot cars are cool, hot motorbikes are cool.. NOT smoking!

Australia have released heaps of "Quit!" smoking capaigns to have Australians quit smoking.
They are very very graphical and can be found on Cigarette packs and on tv as well as magazines.
DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HEART TO!!! It is VERY VERY Graphical!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YjrkBYDDQM

[Thelindra]

ncie one kava. In Singapore there are also campaigns to quit smoking, and all our cig packets got all those disgusting pics as well. they better quit cuz they are paying for those sickness...

[Vladimir]

government in sgp should ban smoking.. it kills why if uu noe its dangerous and still smoke? i duunn understand... all those gruesome pics of illness and they still smoke.. wad makes smoking so interesting?

[Kuro-Chan]

and to add on what theli had said, singapore made some food centres and made all bus stops cigarette-free..

[Undying]

The amounts of spam in this thread are... wow.

Anyway, what I do... I smoke sometimes, when I'm with friends who smoke... it's sorta like a friendly think. I'm not addicted to it and don't bother smoking just because.

IMO smoking isn't something to do for fun or passing time and I never really figured why people start it, even if they do it "for the pose". I mean for real, what's so amazing in having a cig stuck in your mouth? Better find a girl to busy your lips ;).

And more than it's not healthy to you (or so I see... there are people I know who smoke and are simply unable to run or excersice for lengthy periods of time, but whether or not it's linked I have no idea), it's not healthy to your pocket... cigs cost money. So why waste my money on cigs when I'd rather save it for a car and to waste on my girl?

I just felt like ranting ^_^.

Good for you!

I know how hard it is to quit cigarettes, for my grandfather, sister, and my father had to go about that task. It took my dad about 2 years to do it, but since I haven't talked to him in about 4 years - he probably picked it up again. My sister, on the other hand, has been trying to quit for years! She's gotten better, I must say. She used to plow through a pack and a half a day - or something like that. Now she's only at, like, one or two a day.
For my grandfather, it was too late. Cancer got to him before he could quit, and passed on a few months after being diagnosed. He tried to quit his entire life, but I assume his will-power wasn't strong enough.

[Xkavanger]

Yes.. there's an ad about that...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_pRuVildOc
Its ok.. its not graphical.. its actually quite true about what you said coz its proven in this ad... (and its a little amusing that the cigarette is walking lol)
government in sgp should ban smoking.. it kills why if uu noe its dangerous and still smoke? i duunn understand... all those gruesome pics of illness and they still smoke.. wad makes smoking so interesting?
yes... if Singapore can ban gum.. then why shouldnt they ban Smoking?
I hear those ads and pics actually want smokers to smoke more... well thats what I asked some of my mates...
and to add on what theli had said, singapore made some food centres and made all bus stops cigarette-free..
They did that here in Australia... as well as you cant smoke in pubs and most indoor places... and its absolutley NOT ALLOWED in shopping centres
Anyway, what I do... I smoke sometimes, when I'm with friends who smoke... it's sorta like a friendly think. I'm not addicted to it and don't bother smoking just because.
If you know it's not right.. then why do you continue to do so? Like you said.. better to have a girl busy your lips instead lol


and I forgot to say I don't smoke and it is really bad for those who start at a young age. The worst thing that could happen actually.. it wastes your life away as well as your lungs.. I'll try find the advirtisement that shows that next time >_>
It literally shows your lungs being eaten away by tobacco X\

[Xferox 02]

goverment already banned smoking in public places, which is a good thing. but cig has been with us for the past 200 years i doubt man kind will comepletely get rit of tobacco just to live alittle longer, but its a big problem too, shouldbe supressed not restricted

[Pipp-ORK]

They did that here in Australia... as well as you cant smoke in pubs and most indoor places... and its absolutley NOT ALLOWED in shopping centres

You're not allowed to smoke in or around shopping centers here, either, but you always see a bunch of them gathered around the mall, smoking, and just BLATANTLY breaking the law. >=O

Nobody seems to give a shit, but I don't exactly love having to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke before getting to the entrance.

It makes me an ANGRY CAMPER~

LOL me too... when a smoker walks past me or when I walk past them.. I hold my breath till I get away from the thick fog T.T
A passive smoker is just as bad... DO NOT INHALE PEEPS!!

[Thelindra]

There was once i saw this very handsome guy...charming.i was like "wah....cute~" and than he whips out a cig and start smoking and i went "pity...." image 100% destroyed. X_X; I will NEVER NEVER get a partner who smoke. Even as friends, i doubt it will be not so close friends.

When i was working and smoking is banned in shopping malls, the back staff enterence is always crowed with staff who smokes. So its okie everytime i go off for break for reporting for work, i have to pass this "Danger Zone" >_>;

[Rayster]

I don't smoke. I dun care if ppl smoke. Got nothing against it... except that my idol died due to smoking, but that was his choice.

I don't make faces or nething if i walk past smokers. watever, their choice. mostly it's an addiction so i understand how they feel. it's easy to get addicted even to things like caffeiene, and such.

Yes... caffeiene... but tobacco's main ingredient is death. That is not good > <"
and apologies about your idol > </

[SHiKaMaRi]

My sister's in a relationship with a use-to-be smoker... I hated him. Everytime she brought him up, I'd get pissed off. Which is why she came down to make him quit.

Tada. That explains it, doesn't it? I loathe smokers.

Smokers can smoke out in the streets, I don't give a damn- As long as i'm not there to inhale the horrid smoke.

[Axdsilva]

Drugs kill braincells = kills you.

So I'm never taking drugs, not even alcohol/beer, in my life.

[Xferox 02]

hey axe arent the guy from the other forum???? the other one is dead-lol but anyway yeah smoking is bad

[babygirl1978]

once you start it is very hard to stop. My Boy Friend had to help me quit. I think if he was not in my life I would be in some deep trouble.

[Kay™]

yea i agree with you baby girl...it is really a suffering moment to quit smoking...i try..before..

[DireCry]

I've never smoked before, and I don't think I'll be starting any time soon.

[deto]

it's only in your head. if you have a strong will and self discipline you can
stop any day. it's not like your body crumbles when you stop. lots of people
set a date when they quit smoking and in most cases they are smoking
two weeks later again. best thing is to sponatious throw away your cigs and
just do it. (thats for those who want to quit)

stop planning, start acting.

[sinkinswimmer]

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?

Personally I smoked a bit of some girl's cigarette once but I didn't really like it, it just tastes kinda dirty to me :(

Don't smoke regularly, and most often, not socially either. I've smoked cigars and cigarettes, but I can't really stand either. Cigars are slightly more tolerable though.

And lastly, I can't say that I'm a fan of smoking under the legal age limit. If you want to smoke, that's fine, but do yourself a favor and wait until your body is finished growing before you start.

[Iro]

I tried smoking because I was under the influence of my friends, and bcuz of peer pressure lol :p but not I don't smoke regularly... only sometimes. ^^

[hasuke]

The only smoking I do is being smoking hot.

(no, I don't. Shit bugs me)

[thousand sakuras]

i dont do it...its just bad...i went into this exhibit once and it showed a smokoers lungs...it was grey...but not as bad as coal miner lungs...their pitch black =P

[Sapphire Star]

No, I don't smoke nor do I have any intention of ever doing so. Everything about it disgusts me. The smell and the way it f*cks up your body...it's just not worth it.

[Kay™]

hmm its bad for your health...but it taste good lol nah i quiet smoking so it is bad

[Thelindra]

taste good? O_O;

the smell makes me wan to puke already X_X

and how can tobacco taste good? =/

[Kay™]

to those addicted to it they like the taste and smell;)

[Neve]

taste good? O_O;

the smell makes me wan to puke already X_X

and how can tobacco taste good? =/

From my limited experience with alcohol, until I decided I wasn't going to drink, it's a similar thing, probably? I mean, the first time you drink alcohol it tastes pretty horrid, but once you associate the high you get from the alcohol with the taste of the drink, the drink tastes nice, because your body knows you're going to get high from it.

I presume tobacco is a similar thing? The first couple of cigarettes you smoke are probably horrible, but once you associate the taste of tobacco with the high you get from smoking it, it probably starts to taste nice.

Ah well, either way, I've never been tempted to smoke.

[Ios]

good for you... :)
I don't smoke regularly, actually only on parties or special occasions.
I know 'that's how everyone starts' but I won't let it get that far especially since I'm already a little tired of it. I hate the stench of it when you get home and go to bed. It totally drives me crazy. It might also be the mixture of weed with it though... But I don't care...

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

it doesn't taste good..but the smell u breathe in smells better than the one u breathe out. Definitely.

[TheUnlimited]

the only cigarettes that I thought taste good are the Blacks.

and I occasionally smoke hookah with friends

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

hookahs?? izzit like marijuana??

[Lex]

I smoked for a while...three months, bad time in my last year of school, then I went cold turkey.

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

hhmm..cold turkey eh...that's not good... i can go without smoking for days without feeling anything... i think it varies with different people.

[TheUnlimited]

hookahs?? izzit like marijuana??
hookahs are waterpipes. They're sort of a common social hang out thing for college students. They used to have tobacco, but these days, just about almost all of them are just about 95-99% tobacco-free, and instead, just come in flavors like apple, blueberry, etc.

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

really!??! interesting..what do they do!? pm me more abt it pls!!

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

N o Smoking

[Lucki]

used to have the odd one at parties or when i was stressed. but my mate started because i did and she was asthmatic so i stopped completely.

[Lhunara]

i picked up smoking when i was like in grade 6 shamefully, but when i got to grade 10 i just quit,nothing to it,its not that hard, its just that if you really don't want to quit then you wont, but yea everyone else around me smokes so i might as well be smoking myself <.<

[boredomlover93]

a classmate of mine smokes and during music class the teacher was like 'you wont be able to play this instrument well if you smoke!! so... who smokes?!' <=she said that in a joking way but everyone turned their head and looked at her

[Miyagi Rikku]

I dont smoke...I cant stand it actually I tried to some time long ago but
it just made my head ache and besides it stinks you up.

[MasterWordSmith]

I took 2 puffs of some random cigarette at a post-prom party last year. Didn't do anything for me, never smoked again. Just doesn't seem worth the money to me xD

[Envy]

Ew... smoking is terrible.

When I get anywhere near somebody smoking and smell that smell I get a headache instantly... (well it makes my headaches worse seeing as I have them all of the time anymore.)

[Tobi]

Nope, my mother and brother smoke. I just stay away from them mainly, digusting habbit.

[SunnyPie♥]

I don't smoke. I really don't want to start. I already have respiratory problems anyway... >.>

[Shezmu]

since the majority of my friends smoke I've tried 1 or 2 cigarettes, I didn't think it was disgusting, but it wasn't nice either.
So i don't have a reason to spend money on it. They say smoking a cigarette relaxes you or someting =s hmm didn't work with me =/
I think it's just to look ''cool'' although i think it looks weak.

[sander]

i smoke
about 10-15 cigarettes a day, depends on what im doing, how much i sleep etc
it hurts my wallet =__=;
but other then that i dont experience any negative effects

now im not saying its good or bad, its for you to decide to start or not
but keep in mind that it has been proven to cause cancer etc

i started out of curiosity, i stole one from my mom .. lol XDD

edit; lol btw, am i like the only one who smokes on a regular basis ? i didnt read the whole thread... but damn XDD

[maximoose666]

nope, icey and pink smoke as well I believe. I have no problem with smokers or smoking, I just don't do it myself for the obvious health and financial reasons...

[Askand]

well I try it like 3 times none of the times I managed to smoke the correct way and felt relaxed. The taste and smell is terrible. I like the smell of cigars but I dont plan on starting. Financially is not wise. Also is like killing yourself slowly. (with all due respect to those who smoke on this thread). So I just dont like to smoke, I dont let people near me smoke and I will bankai anyone who do it in my car. But everyone got their own opinion for some is nice and relaxing but for others is not. So I'm just taking my side with the non-smoking population.

[Riw]

Never smoked a tobacco.

I used to hold really harsh views on smoking. Well, to an extent, I still do, but at least I've learned not to start whining every time one of my friends goes out to take a smoke. I'd prefer sitting in no-smoking side in bars or restaurants, though, as my eyes start to water easily. And I don't like tobacco smell in my clothes, but heck, who does?

As most of the smokers I know are repeatedly trying to quit, I can't figure how the possible benefits might outweigh the downsides. It costs money, it's unhealthy and - most importantly - it easily becomes an addiction. So even if adults have the freedom to choose to do things that are a bit stupid, I'm strongly against minors smoking.

But of course, if you have already started, it's hard to quit.

[Winter-Storm]

I don't smoke. Nor will I ever try. I have friends who do smoke and they know tnot to ask me to try it. The smell of it makes me sick and I'm glad that my parents told me not to smoke (or else). But I have nothing against anyone who smokes, it's just that I will never give it the time of day.

[Lethe]

Same with Winter-Storm.

I've also been trying to get a few friends to break the habit, meow meow.

[Helikaon]

well some people cant really say they wouldnt smoke because they hate the smell.. the smell and the taste are pretty different. About the effects.. it would depend on the amount of mil, and the filter.. If you smoke a light one of course no effects..

I smoke because I enjoy it.. Thinking on it.. dying young is fine.. but If I was to have a baby I'd quit for sure.

[Harley Quinn]

DON'T DO IT.I suffer 4 my habit I really do.I don't smoke much only about 5 to 10 a day but it's enough to notice a difference, trust me.Trying to run upstairs is a *****.

[Shinigami K]

I smoke occasionally. I guess just depending on my mood really, I could go for years without so much as a drag from a cigarette and then just one day decided I want one. Almost everyone in my family smokes, so I really don't have any problems with people who smoke [unless I'm sick, then the smoke bothers me.] Although I don't really smoke, I don't think smoking should be banned or anything.



Also cigarettes are to expensive now, coupled with my anime addiction -- I couldn't afford it.

[mugentyper]

I Tried a few cig before, never was my thing.

For those who say they can quit later on, I'm laugh my a** off, it is like a joke. It harder than everyone thing. None of my friend smoke, since 1 start it pass around to everyone smoke, and none can actually quit. Their determination and will power are too low, poor them. I tried but failed. I do see the more you smoke the more you gonna get hook. If you gonna quit what stopping you to quit now? It also expensive as hell, glad im not in the smoking bandwagon. If you gonna quit plz do, i rather see non smoker than smoker. Gl on those who are trying.

[yahhzoo]

I used to smoke alot around when I was 16-17, but then I quit because I couldnt play lacrosse as good as I used to. So I quit and every since I felt better.

[Helikaon]

5 and 10 is a pretty big difference.. id say 5 is average and 10 is going on half a pack.. so.. err which is it?

Unlike those people who dont have the willpower.. I could quit if I felt there was a reason.

[mugentyper]

5 and 10 is a pretty big difference.. id say 5 is average and 10 is going on half a pack.. so.. err which is it?

Not to bash on you or anything, but you also seen it happen. Things are easier said than done. So there is not reason for you to quit now? ok. So what the reason to smoke a cig anyways? Don't tell me because of stress, ZILLION of other people got stress and they don't resort to smoking. I have heard it relax you when u have a cig, well sitting down closing your eye and counting 1, 2, 3, when you very angry help you cool off and relax. You know what i mean? Not trying to tell you to quit but i have heard enough share of flaker about quiting lol. But if you do have the willpower and waiting for reason to stop, than more power to you =).

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

I don't smoke and i also find girls that smoke disgusting, I had a girlfreind that smoked secretly every time we did the "Tongue Action"it tasted very nasty....

[Helikaon]

lol.. mugen.. I smoke because I enjoy it.. thats pretty much the one you didnt cover?

I smoke about 1 pack a month.. now say that I cant stop..

[deto]

smoker die sooner ...




... or later *g*

personally i don't really care if somone is smoking or not. i mean you can live all
healthy and tomorrow you fall down the stairs and break your neck. you lose!
on the other hand you can smoke 1 pack every day eventually get lung cancer and
die with 80, so what? up to one self if they want to or not. tho some respect to non
smokers wouldn't hurt in some areas. i don't smoke cuz i'm a cheap bastard and
i consider smoking a waste of money. but hey i have other expensive hobbies.

[Helikaon]

rofl.. deto.. you like the strippers eh? haha..

Well im very respectful to other people.. if Im sitting near someone that doesnt smoke ill move away because I tend to asume that if you dont smoke you dont like it.. pretty simple.. I switch when babies are around.. and I try not to blow it in peoples directions.. though sometimes it can be difficult.

[Riw]

lol.. mugen.. I smoke because I enjoy it.. thats pretty much the one you didnt cover?

I smoke about 1 pack a month.. now say that I cant stop..

There is no way to claim that for sure, but overall, greater part of the people who say they could stop if they wanted, really can't (but of course, most of them smoke considerably more, too). There is also no way to tell whether someone could or couldn't unless they try. Then, some people just don't develop addictions as easily as others, and some can control their habits entirely. Good for them.

But as smoking isn't illegal, to quit or not to quit is everyone's own decision. No reason to argue about whether someone could do it - if they can, no problem, and if not, they'll realize it sooner or later anyway.

[deto]

rofl.. deto.. you like the strippers eh? haha..

just because they move so nicely! :rolleye09

[* J k y]

dont smoke..it hurts you in many ways... physically, financially, internally and etc =P

but you can make smoke buddies easy though =P

[Twinky]

Fact - Ciggerret ( i cant spell) are the most addicting drug out of all legal and illegal drugs. even weed are better than cigs. and for most part they make you smell like rotten tomato, get near a girl? ( aka ****ed)

[Anubisrage]

Thats right dude and your teeth turn yellow... a bad factor for dating...

[Seff vi Britannia]

Erm, i made a promise i wouldn't smoke, and my friends accept this :)

[Helikaon]

Omgz Im dying!!! helps me!!! I didnt know that smoking was addictive !! NOOOOOOO... my teeth they are dying! helps me!!! ... lol

[L'Arc Enzeru]

NO, i'm not and never smoking, cuz'...um... ya know Smoking is bad for health, it can shortened your life span.

[A2k]

Smoking shortens your life span? No kidding. o_O

Did you know that living decreases your life span too?

You don't understand?

Every day you live, is another day you die, once you realise that, I can guarentee you wont ***** and whine as much about how smoking further decreases that life expectancy.

Breathing will eventually lead to death if you're not too cautious. All it takes is one suck of bad air...and poof you've popped your clogs.

I wouldn't take too many baths either. The chances of you falling asleep and drowning in your own dirty bathwater is ludicrously high.

Haven't got the picture yet?

Life is short, whatever you do in it, at least enjoy what time you have.

[Helikaon]

Yep.. exactly what Ive been trying to get at.. .. I mean who cares? In some ways id rather die and have enjoyed life to the fullest rather than be sitting there and thinking about all I could of done..

[Megalomania]

If I said much about smoking, I'd probably offend a lot of people.

But the way things are, I'm never going to hang around anyone who smokes if I can help it.
One smell of that scent and I feel like I'm going to vomit.

[A2k]

Dude. >_<;;;

You entirely missed the point of what Ice and I were saying.

In life...whether you like it or not, you're going to offend people all the time. It happens, it's crappy, but people deal with it...or they don't. (in which case it's their problem, not yours.)

As for the whole smoking is disgusting issue; heck I smoke and I find the stench appauling, so it's not like it's an uncommon occurance.

*Shrugs*

To be honest I enjoy smoking; I know it's detrimental to my physical health, but so is getting up each day. Whilst I'm enjoying my life each day it makes it that little bit more bearable to know, that I am living my life rather than running in fear of all the things that could kill me.

Each to their own choice of poison.

[mugentyper]

In term they are related but in reality they are different. Can you go on without breathing? Can you live another day without dying a day another day? NO those are impossible. Can you not smoke and live another day, yes can you smoke and die another day? yes. The logical are like different world. I don't get it. Just because you never know what might happen to you tmr, or the day after tmr or a week, or even years. Do you go spend every single penny you make? NO. You save because you think that you will exist for another FEW YEARS so don't say you live your life to the fullest. People that live their life tot he fullest spend every single money they have and do what ever they could possible., because they know their time is coming really near and soon. Don't get it twisted.

Not saying smoking bad but for sure it ain't any good for you, all my friend now has habit of smoking, and i do mean ALL. I still keep it true to my word as i said i will never smoke, another cig, joint, bowl. Why i made such promise to myself is when i go hang out and they smoke, they look like robot. Moving their hand up take a puff, take their hand down blow a puff. Same thing over and over and over. They tell me it enjoying lol. Than they say they quit. LOL. GFG they got pwned by nicotine. Owell what can I do? They won't listen to a friend they know for years, but rather still take a puff, Those cancer stik are stronger than me at convincing them.

Everyone has their own self, some to weak to do anything about their habit while other can stop total if they want. Just don't get to cocky about it. Million of people are trying to quit, that mean million people were cocky till they found out the hard way. But if that what you enjoy than please go on with it and your life. When you do want to stop for personal reason, power to you =).

[Helikaon]

So what exactly was your point in that long winded essay? You actually seemed to agree with us on more points than disagree. But your main argument was a bit flawed in the fact that I couldnt understand some of what you were saying.. But the point being is that.. what happens in life is unknown.. Money and smoking are quite different topics to compare when comes down to.. so I dont think thats a valid point.. You are making smoking out like it kills you instantly anytime any where.. If you enjoy smoking you live your life to how you would like it.. But obviously anyone who isnt stupid would save the money so indeed they could continue living as they would like it.. The part about spending would only last a short amount of time.. which is stupid if you dont save.. So your point there isnt really valid to the topic.

[Askand]

but I'm curious, if you met someone who has a problem with breathing or a disease that makes you unable to smoke in front of this person or have the smell of tobacco would you give up? And when I mention this person is someone who is really important on your life like a friend or relative.
Just curious about it.

[rei]

/me doesn't smoke

i tried just to look kewl but i just coughed and coughed :(

to askand's q: i would give it up no use hanging to a deadly vice if u could be with someone u love

[Megalomania]

Dude. >_<;;;
You entirely missed the point of what Ice and I were saying.
In life...whether you like it or not, you're going to offend people all the time. It happens, it's crappy, but people deal with it...or they don't. (in which case it's their problem, not yours.)
As for the whole smoking is disgusting issue; heck I smoke and I find the stench appauling, so it's not like it's an uncommon occurance.
*Shrugs*
To be honest I enjoy smoking; I know it's detrimental to my physical health, but so is getting up each day. Whilst I'm enjoying my life each day it makes it that little bit more bearable to know, that I am living my life rather than running in fear of all the things that could kill me.
Each to their own choice of poison.
Woah, I wasn't reading what you were saying :p Sorry.
And yeah, it's your choice, I just don't really want to insult anyone, so I won't. ;)

[Helikaon]

oh of course askand.. no doubt about it.. but that would probably depend on my relation to them.. Someone that I had to be around alot.. yeah no doubt.. someone that I see every so often.. probably not.. I just wouldnt smoke when they are around.

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

but...there's still alot of people who do it just to look cool..that is a fact!!

[Helikaon]

rofl.. yeah but the funny thing is.. that when your young you do it to be cool because your being a 'rebel' by breaking the law.. but when your at the legal age and still do it to look cool.. you have to be pretty immature.

[sirhchris]

man, I HATE smoking, it's good for nothing, and actually unhelthy.... it burns money, and destroy you're health.. so I really wonder what drives people to start!? :P
I've never tryed, and never will...

[Harley Quinn]

I started smoking cause I started drinking.(16) Nothing to do with looking cool, I just....fancied a ciggerette.

[Guy]

Nope, never smoked. My uncle smoke, and his whole house is full of cigarrete smell. I hate it. I don't wanna smoke in my life... ever.

[DespoticWalnut]

Personally I hate smoke, everything about it. I can't stand the smell, taste, long-term effects. It's all disguisting.(spelling?)

[Iro]

I've tried smoking but I stopped. Smoking is bad for your health. Kids dont try that at home^^

[Future]

I tried smoking for like a few weeks, but couldn't be bothered really... *is to lazy to smoke or do anything like that*

[Arei]

I don't smoke. don't wanna smoke, can't smoke. I wouldn't be able to breathe =X And apparently, smoking makes your sinuses and crap worse (and I already have REAAALLLLY bad sinuses XPPP)

[Future]

I don't smoke. don't wanna smoke, can't smoke. I wouldn't be able to breathe =X And apparently, smoking makes your sinuses and crap worse (and I already have REAAALLLLY bad sinuses XPPP)

Yeah, smoking really ****ed up my grandpa's sinuses

[Arei]

My grandpa sounds like something dying when he coughs >.> bad smokers cough ftw

[Future]

Yeah mine did too, but he's dead now... died in his sleep, i think cancer got the best of him

[.Rik-uh-shey]

yah my grandpa is also about to kick it due to smoking. his lungs are basicly a dried up lump of charcoal. according to the doctors if he keeps drinking and smoking the way he does he'll only have about 5 years. hes already had a quadruple bypasss heart surgery.

[chaosadept]

I'm not a smoker, but I sometimes smoke a little spliff with friends, that's all.
If I'd smoke, I'd do it somewhere I don't bother people who don't. But I don't really like the laws in my country that almost persecutes all smokers for smoking in public areas. I mean, in restaurants there were two parts : one for the smokers, one for the non-smokers. Now there's only the non-smoker left.
They're doing smoke prevention/repression by putting ugly images of chain-smokers' lungs and stuff on the packages, but who the f*** cares, as they already know what smoking does to us. The government shouldn't be really concerned by it, as they get all the money from the taxes there's on cigarettes.
The only thing we can do is try to prevent people from starting by giving them information, not making those who already do stop, because that'll never work.
But look at it like this : I'd rather like my children to smoke than to get addicted to heroin or alcohol. Cigarettes don't break families, cigarettes don't make you violent and unpredictable.

There are some schools here that forces smoker pupils to wear a badge with mouth with rotten teeth on it, and in some hospitals nurses who smoke have to wear one too with "This is how my lungs look like" with a picture of chain smokers' black lungs. It's supposed to be humoristic, well I dare to compare that with the yellow David star Jews had to wear under the nazi regime. Let's start banning smoking from schools and hospitals, shall we?

I'm ok for not letting non-smokers smoke passively, but if people wanna smoke, let them be!
And as someone said above me, if we had to stop doing everything that could be bad for our health, the question wouldn't be "What are the things mustn't we do?" anymore but "What are the things left that we can do?".
F*** this paranoia.

[Infinite]

I hate the smell of smoke, I hate the taste of it, and I hate what it does to your body. It is also doubly bad for me for the fact that I also allready have asthma. I hate when people smoke around me, its disgusting.

[shaberry]

Hmmm...well I smoke intermediately. ^_^;;; I don't do it everyday...but occassionally...I'll smoke on other times aside from socially. For people who know the cigarette types...I'm in the lights category. But yeah...mainly the only time I smoke cigarettes is when I'm having coffee. Mmmmm...cigarettes and coffee=total goodness...lol...well...for me at least. Other than that...I also smoked hooka...the one with the tube and the water...with the flavored tobacco. Strawberry hooka ftw! Too bad I broke my hooka set *sigh* >.<;;; Must buy another one.

[VinSRedMoon]

i hate smoking....Once you start smoking for a long time, if you stop to smoke...you will shake like a drug addict n get sick easily ...just lik my grandpa...

[Reenee_2340]

well i smoked ciggarettes for like a week n i sed no more

i dont do it no more cuz its nasty

i also hav breathin issues so dat aint cool lol

i cant stand da smell, or da smoke, drives me nuts lol

[asian]

I used to smoke every now and then when I was a freshman. My first ciggerette was stale and disgusting.
I haven't smoked since then, except this one time I was really frustrated and smoked some of my friend's ciggerette.
Smoking is bad kiddies.
:x

[Future]

Hmm... i might have one every now and then (only ends up being like 1 or 2 every couple of months)

[shaberry]

Hookah is gooooooooooooooooddddddddddd!!! ^-^ And it's flavored!

[Future]

That's not a drug is it? <_< or are they just flavored smokes?

[shaberry]

It's flavored tobacco ^-^ It's yummy =) They have it in different flavors like strawberry...peach...melon...cherry...and other flavors. ^-^

[Future]

i see o_o that's bad, because it makes you wanna smoke... and then you'll get cancer or something o_o

[shaberry]

Not really...hooka isn't addicting...well...then again...lol...it's all up to the person who smokes it...but technically its not addicting

[Future]

oh i see, okay then... still you should try and not smoke it at all, no matter how tasty it is :p

[..::Mr 999::..]

Smoking always maaake me crazy

[Milan]

I don't smoke and don't think I ever will.

[Sono i Lupi]

ok i keep it short and sweet

smoking cigs: GROSSSSSSS, espaically for girls, i dont care if the girls jessica alba, if she smokes cigs thats an automatic **** no

smoking cigars: ok, but in moderation

smoking weed: ok, but in moderation, if u smoke weed to much it makes it hard to breathe and run and etc, so if ur in sport season i suggest against it

smoking anything else: (crack, etc), really bad idea

[Saiyuri]

I don't smoke, I hate the smell of it and it's not good for health.

[..::Mr 999::..]

i want to tell, i have did it once when i 10 and i smell the taste. the taste so nah...... so i didn`t want it again

[Munky]

I've been a smoker for almost 8 years now, i enjoy it, and so far i dont have any smoking related disease... BUT that's because i smoke in moderation, not like those other smokers that smoke "packs" per day.. thats just too much

[Achilles]

I don't smoke but my friends do. I'm at high school and nearly everybody smoke here. it sucks.

[Tobi]

I'm never going to smoke, disgusting habbit.

[shaberry]

Smoking is bad...it makes you stinky.

[Helikaon]

rofl Giall... your an idiot..

Smoking weed over tobacco? Thats one retarded logic. Id prefer smoking tobacco in moderation. Least it cant trigger mental disorders/diseases.

[shaberry]

*points to ice and waves finger around erratically* Ice is a smokerrrrr! >.<;;; Lol...hehehe ^_^

how is it retarted logic?
ur worse off smoking cigs then weed
weed doesnt have tar or nicotine or half the gross shyt cigs have, plus u gont get addicted
unless u dont know ur dealer and he laces ur shyt
yea weed makes you do stupid shyt, but id rather die in car crash being high then from lung cancer or black lung disease

plus i dont smoke, so it doesnt matter

Lol dude have you ever smoked weed?
Cause i don't think you know how a joint (ehm dunno if you call it a joint in english) is made.
you take a rolling paper, then you crack a cigarette and put the tobacco on the rolling paper and then you add weed to it, so it contains the same crap cigarettes contain, plus weed.
Weed is worse for your health then plain cigarettes =p

unless you talk about a ''stick'' (again i dunno the word in english) which only contains weed but most people smoke joints.

I never smoke cigarettes, only smoked one in my life but ocassionally i smoke some weed. Because cigarettes taste disgusting and they don't even give you a relaxed feeling so i don't see any reason to smoke them, but thats just my opinion.

What you called a joint is called a spliff in english, which isnt anywhere near as popular here than in france or europe. What you called a stick is a joint in english, which what is regularly smoke in the U.S.. Or a blunt or bong or hookah or vaporizer or gravity bong. The list can keep going and now i dont smoke ganja(weed) its a twice a year occation for me. And for the people that said smokeing weed isnt as bad as ciggarettes, you reallly need to get your facts straight. Weed contains 100X the carcinogins than cigarettes.(thats what causes lung cancer) If people smoke weed like they did ciggs you see alot more lung cancer. Now ciggs do have alot more nasty additives and can be addicting. But the addiction is easy to break. The addiction period is 3 days. the rest is just habit. Which is by far the hardest part to break. Ive smoked ciggs for about 5 yrs now easy to quit but the habit is a ***** of it all. Plus i am a drinker and smokeing makes not have to drink as much to catch a buzz. Oh and to the kid that said 2nd hand smoke can give you lung cancer, sure it could if u inhaled every bit of smoke that came out of the smokers mouth.

END RANT/

[Laika]

Not really, maybe twice a year. I like the smell, I don't mind other people doing it.

[Helikaon]

Thankyou others for saying what I was about to say. Weed is much more damaging than tobacco. Above posts prove that..

Anywho.. haha yeah sha.. I do smoke, but generally its not regular occurance. I could easily stop because im not in any routine habit nor do I smoke high nicotine ones. I probably smoke a pack ever 2 months. Compared to regular smokers thats nothing. But I enjoy it when I get the chance.

[erika]

i smoke unfortunately but im going to stop but not all at once.... its really hard once you get started... wise choice everyone

[shaberry]

*points finger at ice* Ohhhhhhhhhh...you still smoke...lol...hahaha...^-^ *pokes* Sorry it's just fun to do to you ^-^ But yeah...anything is addictive. Weed, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. It all depends on the person who uses the stuff.

[Future]

I probably have one smoke every few months... when i'm really bored... or when i have the house to myself and my dad leaves his smokes at home... i'm not really that interested in it... makes me feel dizzy =S

[shaberry]

So then why do you smoke if you're not really interested in it and it makes you feel dizzy? o.O

[Future]

Cause sometimes i just feel like it... i dunno

[lorraineChan]

I don't smoke..
Smoking is bad..But it's good if you wanna die at a young age..

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

There are many reasons why people smoke. The two major reasons mainly are because they want to look cool-because everyone does it (I'm speaking in a general case) and because smoking relieves stress (due to the cns depressant effect of the carcinogens).

And on what smoking feels like...I really don't know how to describe it in a facy way or anything that might possibly make it sound cool. It just feels like you're sucking in hot air...and you're blowing it out right after. Then, you feel a little mellowed out. *shrug* I guess the reason why smoking is so enticing for people who want to try it is because you can physically see the smoke coming out of your mouth. Lol...or because "people strike poses" while they smoke...so they look good doing it. LOL.

[lorraineChan]

It looks cool but it's not really...

[ghey B]

smoking is no good, try not to get into it or youll most likley get hooked
