Do You smoke?

[jaxxster]

I smoke...the only hard bit about quitting isnt the addiction its the habit. I've quit before but fk...Its so hard not to smoke whilst drinking a cold pint. I also had fuck all to do on my breaks at work!

 

[crafton48]

i hate smoke and i hope everyone to die who does smoke in public places ... especially at bus stops
they are hurting MY BODY after all

yeah cause the world revolves around you.

I don't smoke; never will, and am never going to...

But my mom was just diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, and she smoked a pack per day x 40 years...

I know everyone has to die from something, but I can definitely say smoking will have killed my mom.... :'(

now i smoke 25-30 a day

sorry to hear that m|kk|

Luckily, kids today are better educated when it comes to the dangers of smoking. My gran's generation were oblivious!

According to her, there was no such thing as cancer when she started smoking. She was convinced it was these new "filter things" that caused it!

Ignorance is bliss, eh?

Thats very sad m|kk| stage IV is agressive.

To answer the question nope i don't smoke and never will.

My reasons-
Look at any medical study and you find smoking increases your mortality and morbdity. This dosen't apply just for lung cancer which is commonly associated smoking damages all your blood vessles. As a result you become more prone to unwanted clot (thrombus) formation so people also suffer from earlier heart attacks and strokes if cancer fails to get them early.

At least our generation all know that it kills you, so can make an informed decision about weather they wish to die early or not. Sadly many previous generations did not have this information.

Never smoked, never will. I wouldn't do that to my health, and annoy and damage everyone around me.

well... I'm not slow, and I won't say yas to that Bowser. But Cigarettes... the addictiveness in that is to me, bullshit...

as for the alcohol, No i dont mean such silly things. I mean: going to the pub or at parties. One time, at a graduation dinner thingy, I drank as much as my friends, all went together, drank the exact same drinks... they got wasted. I stood there like "wtf?". didn't feel a thing. the day after, they all had hangovers... and i didn't feel a thing.

The same goes for coffee.... "oh nooo, I can't sleep if I drink coffee at 8 pm..."
hell... I drink coffee, energy drinks and what ever... no effects on me.

I even tried it with anti depressives or.. what ever they are called..
I was, not alright.. my friend wasn't either.. so her mom gave us pills.

my friend took half a pill.. got reaaaaally happy, almost high. i took a half.. nothing, took a whole, nothing... took 2... nothing.... My guess is: Placebo...

anyway... I don't believe in addictiveness (sure, heavy drugs.. I believe that fucks up) nor all these effects things have on people...

Just because you don't have an addiction doesn't mean it's not real isaac.

If you've gotten the impression that smoking is cool, it may be because smoking is portrayed that way in cigarette advertising. People are idiots, plain and simple. THINK!!!!!!!!!

Edit: If you believe in God then you are hurting God.

Some people just don't have the will to quit I guess. I can quit smoking right now, no problem, but why should I stop if I like it?

@Issac, have you never even been tipsy of drinking? Damn, going out must suck if everybody's drunk and you're not :\

 

[Hadrian]

I tried smoking and I was a bit "Ok people like this do they" then left it.

After watching my dad die from it I quit, so no.

Yes but I had smoked for 6 years and I have the will to quit and I did! I haven't smoked for 8 years now, I think. Yes, you can do it! There is no excuse!

Why do you like it? I ask people this question and they usually don't give a decent answer. Is there actually a decent answer? If so, please share it with me

I think you tried to cover it but drugs like Diamorphine are addictive no matter what you do even people who have non addictive personalities and plenty of willpower. If you withdraw the drug too rapidly patients will get very sick from withdrawl so you have to careflly taper the dose.

(Diamorphine is of course used illegally......people call it heroin)

Be warn - dont cry in the hospital if you have a cancer or something. It will be your own fault!

For some people it actually works like coffee making them more awake and aware, others get a great feeling from the the nicotine going straight to their brain. Puts them in a good mood and the nicotine makes their brain think its a reward. Its all scientifically proven and has something to do with nicotine helping to release dophamines (or whatever they're called).

Of course 20 years down the line they're coughing up gunk but meh thats their choice.
