Who smokes?

[Fiorino]

Just wondering-I don't smoke but I know people who do.

[Behling]

No smoking for me. I can't stand the smell >_< but if people want to its their right and their choice and I don't judge them for it

[Malchik89]

tried it once, horribleness. No offense to those that smoke but if you're near me, go kill yourself somewhere else xD

[MeskElil]

Nope--my dad did when I was little and it put me off the stuff for good--our backyard smelled TERRIBLE...
He quit cold-turkey, though, because he had a surgery and the doctor said, "Quit. No nicotine patches, no NOTHING. JUST QUIT."
So now he's addicted to mint gum :lol:.
My sister does because my dad did and she's about 20 years older than me...*sigh* I think she has some kind of lung disease now, but I'm not sure...

[Joey]

Cigars, Hookah, Pipes... anything but cigarettes because they taste horribly.

[jazzrawr]

gahhh, never.
my parents do, and im quite seriously the ONLY ONE in my family over 12 that doesnt.
its kind of ridiculous.
but i hate the smell/taste/look of them, so nevaahh.
but if you do, that's a choice...not one i support, but it's your mistake i guess.

[NathanHaleFan]

Never a whiff, and I hate the smell of smoke. Even campfire smoke smells better.

[Pepsi]

No smoking for me. I can't stand the smell >_< but if people want to its their right and their choice and I don't judge them for it

Ditto

[Davey]

ew.

but to every person their own!

[Andrew]

smoking is a BIG turn off to me.. But to anyone who smokes, good luck with your life.

[seanathon]

I used to smoke for a year, from freshman year to the the start of sophomore!

I've been completely 100% clean for a year.

One day I was like, "Hmm... I don't feel like it."

And I quit. Wasn't hard. ^_^

[baileyh]

I don't and it is discusting,yuck!I cannot be around cigarette smoke for health reasons.I am very allergic to cigartte smoke even to cigar smoke.One puff of smoking gets near me,I cough like crazy and the next trip is to the emergancy room.This happened twice,when I was 15 and 22 years old.

[-Michael-]

Smoking used to be disgusting in my eyes andninused to find it a big turn off...but about 3 year ago I had a lot of troubles... Now I want to give for the smell etc
but smoking helps me...I love it:)

[Crazyfoo]

I have some family memebers who are heavy smokers. I have friends who have but now don't. I have friends who smoke other stuff. Psychos. Even though I'm practically surrounded by smokers, I'll try ti not smoke any cigars, cigarettes, etc.

[Nodnarb]

No. I just can't stand the smell. My grandpa used to smoke, and it was almost impossible for me to be around him. But he quit, so now nobody in my family smokes.

[SlickyPants]

About a year and a half ago I smoked a few cigars. Damn they tasted and smelled good. It was kind of expensive though (some were around 15 bucks a stogie), not to mention bad for my health. That and it was also the middle of winter and in my neck of the woods it drops to about -40° C so standing outside in that weather takes some of the enjoyment out of it.

I could probably count the number of cigars I smoked on both hands and I don't really plan to smoke again. I wouldn't turn one down if it was a special occasion or something.

[agraves]

I've tried it a couple times and I will smoke one now and then, but for the most part I try to stay away from them. My dad's lung collapsed when I was little so that's a pretty good deterrent. Plus, I don't like the way it makes your clothes and car smell. Yuck.

[Grof142007]

nope and i refuse to date anyone who does pointless

[Blitzkrieg]

No, I think it's a disgusting habit and it's a big turn off for me. But I don't judge others for it because it's their choice to do what they want, just don't do it near me.

[BlakeHarmony]

I love the smell of campfire smoke, it's a little weird but I love standing in the smoke so I smell nice for the next few days... I love camping.
Anything besides campfire smoke I can't stand, I'd never date anyone who does and fortunately none of my family smokes. Just walking by someone smoking makes me cough for a while afterwards so I probably wouldn't even be able to start.

[LowestVocal017]

LOL!

That was really cute, girl! :p :p

[Rette]

I'll assume you mean cigarettes, in which case no, I do not smoke. Cigars are a yes, and occasionally some, uh, "other" types of cigarettes.

[BlakeHarmony]

ummm.... thanks?

[BlueRose]

Both of my grandparents used to smoke (they quit in the last few years) but neither of my parents smoke. I never got to meet my mom's dad because he smoked (lung cancer), so I really never had much incentive to begin in the first place. Not to mention I really hate the smell. And why must so many college kids smoke? It's like I can't even walk ten feet without somebody smoking at me. It's disgusting.

[Gerry]

No I don't smoke. The only thing I tried was hookah which wasn't even that great.

[Blaz]

Hate smokers. Let them do what they want, but it's not for me.

[Paralyzer]

I don't smoke, and hope I never will but......

I have this odd attraction for people who do (as long as they're not a chronic smoker)
The smell of smoke on peoples clothes reminds me of happy things for some reason even though my mom's friends who smoke are definately not bright people. I'm not just talking about guys. I can't breath second hand smoke though, I honestly choke.. but it's that left over scent that brings me euphoria.. idk why.. haha

Truthfully, I like the smell of it to as it reminds me of happy things, but I know it's bad so I force myself to hold my breath.

[Willywilly92]

i smoke but i have the decency not to smoke around people who dont beacause if they dont they prob. dont want the secon hand smoke, but alot of people smoke where ever they want to. i guess im like that cuz i have a little brother and i wouldntwant anyone to blow smoke in his face (if they did i would woop their ass)

[sexyalex]

I don't smoke often, only when the peer-pressure hits me and i am out at a club or something.....:dry:

lol that's me with automotive pertol oil. anytime i go to the gass station i feel happy:D

[eclipse]

I used to smoke quite regularly, but now i leave it only for rare occasions.

[Jebs]

I smoke. Cigs calm me down. Seems everyone is anti-smoking. Opps. Didn't get the memo.

[davo-man]

I don't smoke, never have, never will. I cannot stand the smell of it, and so will move away if people start smoking near me. I totally support that it's their decision to smoke, but it's my decision to get away from them if they do. For this reason, I doubt I would ever date a smoker

[otc877]

I've tried cigarettes and I think they are vile. However, I do smoke hookah on occasion, and I love it :)

[Myzou]

No I don't. But my mom smokes in the house all the time, I'm allergic to smoke too -.- My friends are nice though, if we're out together, they'll trail behind me so the smoke avoids me, which I'm perfectly fine with. I will never smoke, or drink =P.

And I won't be willing to date anyone who does smoke, which will be a problem where I live, 90% of the people here smoke :S

[LowestVocal017]

No I don't smoke. The only thing I tried was hookah which wasn't even that great.

I've tried cigarettes and I think they are vile. However, I do smoke hookah on occasion, and I love it :)

Even Hookah I can't stand the smell of, nor can I stand the smell of 'pot' (whatever that is anyways), or any form of burning tobacco. That's just me though.

And it's more than just the smell: the fumes are very toxic to my body. The smell of this stuff merely alerts me.




Anything considered smoking is absolutely disgusting to me, period. It doesn't matter if it's a cigar or a cigarette; in my eyes, a smoker is a smoker, and those who smoke cigars are just as bad as those who smoke cigarettes. For anyone who doesn't identify as a smoker but say that he or she smokes a pot or a cigar every once in a moonphase, I think he or she should be ashamed for even having tried it at all in the first place. One may not identify as an attacker or an injurer, but if he or she injured someone, he or she is just as bad as those who hold such a reputation. For me, it's as plain and simple as that.

While I respect the person's right to do as poorly as they wish to their own bodies, I honestly can never understand why someone would start in the first place. The only leniency I can see myself providing is the fact that one may have given into peer pressure. But speaking of peer pressure, even the chain had to have started somewhere: why did the original smoker start smoking?

I generally don't tell other people that I'm one of the worst when it comes to smoking like I'm telling it here. For even speaking in half the tone that I'm implying here, I've often been accused of insensitivity and/or being too demanding of things that I have no control/power over. For example, when I confront someone or a group of people for smoking too close to the front porch of my appartment suite and ask them if they could do it somewhere or sometime else, not to mention that I sincerely do it in the kindest, calmest manner that I can, he, she or they would be all, "Why the hell are you telling me/us to stop smoking here? I/We can do whatever I/we want! Why don't YOU(!!!) move away??" Sometimes, they even throw in a, "Where are your manners?" (??:rolleyes:) (It's interesting how they would speak of my manners when they themselves aren't being courteous of the respiratory health of other people whom their smoking affects).

The most disturbing incident was one that happened last year that especially got me extremely annoyed and disappointed: my roommate had the nerve to bring all ofhis friends over to smoke "weed" (Whatever that is) and pot in the appartment suite's living room after we've both been through it 500 times that I'm extremely bad with smoke. His friends then apologized sarcastically and laughed. And then, oh, the anger he provoked in me (and I mean this literally: I'm not a person to get angry very much in a lifetime), my roommate had an even bigger nerve to call me "unsympathetic" and that I need to learn some "people skills", forgetting the fact that he was being rather uncivil to the very people who were living in his suite. :rolleyes: *sigh* I guess for people like him, once a smoker always a smoker, and they won't admit to doing anything wrong when they do it; they will just never understand in sufficient depth why and how they are bothering and hurting people with their smoking.

[LowestVocal017]

If I may also add, what's appalling to me is that some of the younger smokers, high-school and adolescent age, go out smoking in public, displaying it as if they aren't going to get into any legal trouble. They should know that the LEGAL age of smoking is 18, or perhaps I was taught wrong information in my government class?

[Jebs]

Honestly Lowest I have never seen anyone get into trouble for smoking except at school (in high school a while back). I don't get a legal age on smoking though. Just like I don't understand a legal age on drinking. So lame.

[LowestVocal017]

Well, I guess that's understandable. After all, if there was a legal age placed on "homosexual activity for men" (that is still currently widespread in many parts of the world!!), I would most likely feel as you do about smoking. ;)

[otc877]

Smoking hookah is a very culturally enriched experience. I usually only smoke it with my middle-eastern friends where it's been a tradition with them to smoke it. To get technical, hookah doesn't actually burn the tobacco, but rather it roosts it. I'm not saying it's good for you, but I've never so much as coughed from smoking it.

Also, I do not identify as a smoker, nor do I feel any need to. I am not addicted, whenever I smoke it, it is truly a cultural//social outing. I define a smoker as somebody who smokes habitually to get through their day.

[firecausesburns]

Nope. My dad used to smoke, but he quit when my sister was born, so he hasn't smoked in my lifetime. Some of my uncles smoke, but I don't see them much.

[Kimi]

Ewww!

No way and who wants to pay $9 to buy it and kill your lung?

[Paul_UK]

I never have and never will. Smoking killed my dad when he was just 64, 10 months after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

[Hln D]

I had one puff of a cigarette once, at a concert. I personally find it disgusting, but I can imagine how hard it is to quit, and have sympathy for those who do :(

My mum used to smoke when I was a baby (thankfully not while she was pregnant with me) but she gave up, because she was so ashamed of having to hide from me while she smoked, because she didn't want me seeing it as I got older.

[LOVEjames]

I've never smoked, and I don't really plan to. I have a terribly addictive personality, and I'm very impulsive. Smoking and drinking would do horrible things to my life. Also, I have alcoholism in my family, so I'm predisposed to the addiction, which doesn't help things at all.

[Poring]

I'm content with being addicted to gaming, so I don't want another thing added to that list! :p

[JSG]

I smoke, too much.
This is supposed to be my last week smoking, I've cut down a lot but I live with another heavy smoker and ALL my friends smoke, 100% of them so it is very hard no not smoke =/

[MacAlex]

I detest cigarettes, never smoked one, never will... However, other dirty things (joints, blunts, etc lolz) i do enjoy from time to time, as well as hookah, but i dont view myself as addicted at all.

[Daniel]

I've smoked just about everything.

That is how I learned I was allergic to pot whilst in Amsterdam. Very bad experience I almost had to go to the hospital.

[Chaos]

I don't smoke... At least not cigarettes.

[Adrian]

I've had a go a couple of times when I've been out and people have gone outside to use the smoking area. Can't seem to get the hang of it though. This is slightly worrying as millions of people smoke, so it shouldn't be that hard!

I'll probably keep trying until I get the hang of it, but I'll never start smoking properly for health reasons. I just want to be sure that if I have to smoke a cigarette for some reason, maybe etticate or whatever, I can do it without looking like a complete tit.

[Paul_UK]

I use the outside smoking areas with friends that smoke sometimes, and just don't smoke. There is no rule that says you have to smoke out there, and nobody is bothered that some people don't.

[Trumpetplyer23]

My mom did, but she quit like two years ago and hasn't touched a ciggy since. My dad smokes like a damn chimney though. I went to breakfast with him and he must of smoked two packs by the time he dropped me off back home.

I don't smoke. I value my lungs too much. I feel people should have the right to if they want to smoke, and no one should tell them they can't.

[JSG]

Banning cigarettes from bars and clubs in France wasn't such a good idea, cigarettes are great for starting conversations and stuff. Now we have to go outside and people complain about the noise we make at night =/
But at least we're around other smokers and non-smokers can breath easier :)

[Trumpetplyer23]

They banned cigarettes basically everywhere, in my hometown. You can't smoke within 500 feet of any door on a public place, like you can't smoke within 500 feet of the entrance to a store.

I hate the fact that it was banned. I mean, some people like to smoke and drink coffee at a resturant, and now they can't do that. That's why resturants had SMOKING SECTIONS and NON-SMOKING SECTIONS, to separate the two groups so people wouldn't have a hissy fit about smoke being too close to them. Now, people have to go outside to smoke, and if it's in the middle of winter, you'll freeze your ass off.

Also, a little while after, people wanted to ban smoking in the car. They wanted to tell smokers 'you can't smoke IN YOUR OWN CAR'. God, did that make me mad. If your kid has asthma or something, then fine, don't smoke when they're in the car. Don't ban smoking from someone's property because you do feel like it. They even used little kids on the news, to try and get this bill passed. It didn't get passed, thank god, it was a stupid idea.

Sorry...that stuff lit a fire under me when it happened.

Exactly !! Smoking whilst drink a coffee in a Café was a real pleasure. And yeah going outside in the winter/rain/wind sucks.

That is so stupid, why don't they want people smoke in their own car??
Damn smokophobes...

You're a non-smoker that supports smokers rights :D I love youuu !!

[Lexington]

No. The idea of setting anything ablaze and inhaling the smoke seems rather counter-intuitive to me.

Lex

[Myzou]

They're banning smoking on the boardwalk here shortly, and will soon be spread to the entire city, which I don't really hate, only because you can find a cigarette butt on the ground/in the gutter if you stand anywhere, one is within eyesight -.-

Oh, and I forgot to add. If you are caught smoking within 500 feet of an entrance to a store, you will be fined. They have numbers posted outside of buildings with the number that 'good samaritan' non-smokers can call if they see somene smoking within 500 feet of a building's entrance.

Oh, and of course, I love you too, JSG.

[seanathon]

Funny story. My 22 year old stepsister is allergic to cigarette smoke. When she was younger, her mom would raise HELL is someone was smoking around her daughter. Like, even at a stadium, she'd go nag someone about their smoking because her daughter was allergic.

Now?

My stepmom smokes practically in FRONT of her. :dry:

[ausdtc]

I smoke. It's not something I'm particularly happy with, being very aware of all the negative consequences that smoking has. However, at the same it's something that for some whacky reason I enjoy, especially sitting down with a coffee or a beer.

In aus, smoking is banned within 3 meters of entrances to public buildings, and inside your car if there's young people (under 16? not sure) travelling with you. I guess I can see the sense in the first ban, except that it'd be nice if "smokers areas" or something still existed in some form, not an outright ban. I whole-heartedly agree with the car ban, it's fine to smoke in your own car, but young people who may not have a choice but to travel with you shouldn't be forced to suffer :)

[pirateninja]

I do. Another guilty pleasure alongside alcohol, but I want to quit.

I get the cravings mostly when I'm stressed, I'm bored or when others around me are. I know it's no excuse for smoking but I do advise anyone who has never tried it to NEVER try it. It's expensive and dangerous. But I never smoke inside, namely because being trapped in a burning building is one of my greatest fears.

[Myzou]

No I don't. But my mom smokes in the house all the time, I'm allergic to smoke too -.- My friends are nice though, if we're out together, they'll trail behind me so the smoke avoids me, which I'm perfectly fine with. I will never smoke, or drink =P.

I don't care if my mom does it. I only care if she does it when I'm asleep, as I sleep with my window closed, so the smoke comes up and lingers, making me sick in my sleep -.-

[sngl]

No, I don't smoke. And I'm glad to see that most of EC doesn't smoke either.
But that's probably because most of EC is underage...but that's not really an obstacle is it? :eusa_doh:
Anyway, don't start smoking people!! lol

[Shido]

*raises both hands. One for self, one for Samii*

[Jerr]

Yes was a big area to cover... I mean I smoke on occasion. Like once every 4-6 months... but I have no issues with those who do. Hell, I encourage it and I tell em why. I don't feel like paying the massive taxes that cigs bring in and so they need to keep on buying them so the government doesn't have to make up for the taxes somewhere else. (I'd die if they taxed chocolate like that....)


To each his own.





i smoke but i have the decency not to smoke around people who dont beacause if they dont they prob. dont want the secon hand smoke, but alot of people smoke where ever they want to. i guess im like that cuz i have a little brother and i wouldntwant anyone to blow smoke in his face (if they did i would woop their ass)

That's good to know. hehehe. I just smoked today first time in like months. I only smoke black clove cigs and usually only when I'm drinking. One of the best things about them is they make your lips taste like sugar.

I don't smoke often, only when the peer-pressure hits me and i am out at a club or something.....:dry:

Peer pressure? cmon... really?

I think living in Jamaica makes it hard to never smoke :p

[Defender]

Nope, never will. I've seen what it is like by watching family.

[Brandford]

Nope never even tried, and probably wont in anytime in the future

[musicgirl112233]

I never have and don't I ever will.

[mUsIcFrEaK92]

I can't stand the smell of it. I hate it when someone lights up a cigarette when I'm standing there And it ends up in my face! It's like they don't give a f**k about other people around them!

[Alexander]

never have I ever smoked anything.

I hate smoking. It makes me cough.

Although since typically smoking is associated with mysterious handsome dark french men on the street on a rainy night, I guess it's not ALL bad :D

[Pancake]

I do. Another guilty pleasure alongside alcohol, but I want to quit.

want to quit? stay inside a building :D .....ok maybe not....

i dont smoke and i hate the smell of smoke.

[Steve]

i hate smoking ... i hate the smell of smoke .. i have managed to get around 3 people to stop smoking :D ... in my opinion smoking is dumb

[cc6log]

Only when I am at the bar, an by that I mean from all the second hand smoke, nothing like waking up the next day and your clothes smell like smoke and your lungs hurt... smoking is a crappy addiction

[Beebo]

Smoking is fun, until someone looses an EYE!

[MonsieurGodiva]

I've never tried smoking and I don't plan on it.

[InaRut]

Cigars, Hookah, Pipes... anything but cigarettes because they taste horribly.

Only cigars here!

[ppreston9]

Yea i smoke. It does help in stressful situations for me, and idk.....

Also i think it is annoying how ppl keep saying condescending comments like, "you can kill yourself if you want". Like we know what it does and we arent stupid. Its our choice.

[Tokarov]

I don't smoke. I don't mind if anyone does, but if it gets as bad that I can't breathe, then I leave lol. My grandpa does it like that..

[Ilayis]

I smoke,not as much as i use to.
some people have to stop saying that we don't care about non-smokers.If we smoke next to you and don't like it,say something.Most of us will apologize and move away from you.

[Shebbs]

Never smoked, never will. I don't like smokeing at all. And I am half alergic to smoke. I have a few friends that smoke. My parents quit because I made them. Had to bribe my dad to quit. Lol. Bribed him with a 4 wheeler... it worked though.

[XXX Lou XXX]

I do but only like between 5 and 10 cigarettes a day (and the occasional cigar). I only smoke because I get stressed easily but i'll probably think about giving up. It was really stupid of me to start but i've been smoking since I was about 13 and i'm finding it hard to quit. Most of my friends hate smoking though so I wouldn't smoke anywhere near them.

[Alexander]

Smoking is fun, until someone looses an EYE!

Oh god mike... :dry:

[Wander]

No, and I don't plan to. My parents have smoked since shortly after I was born and I've been asking them every year to stop - my father only just recently quit, and my mom smokes less frequently now that she has a better job, but still....I can't breathe while riding in the car with them, their bathroom smells awful from how often she smokes in there, her teeth are slightly yellow from all the staining....I couldn't stand it. I could never do it myself, and I doubt I could be in a relationship with a serious smoker - the smell is just terrible, and it goes EVERYWHERE THEY GO.

[smilealways]

No way.
and smokers breath is disgusting.

smoking should be banned all together as it is unhealthy and unpleasant for other people.

[SkyTears]

Like others said - I don't like smoking or being around people while they are smoking. I won't date anyone who smokes. But as for the choice to smoke is totally up to them and I can't stop from from doing it.

[sexyalex]

I never have and never will. Smoking killed my dad when he was just 64, 10 months after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

just 64?

Paul, no offence...pray about it. (*hug*)One thing is for sure; if he died by a cancer stick we all know the peace of mind it beings to someone EVEN if u don't smoke.

lets just be happy he took his final rest in peace :)

:eek: i found that offensive and i don't even smoke?!...well....not like a smoker does...(so i don't count) but dude; seriosuly, my best friend smokes and she dosn't have bad breath and for a smoker, her teeth are even whiter than people who is know leave clean healthy lives, no smoke no drinking:dry:.

and i know, CUZ:eusa_eh: i kissed her. even though she is old enough to be my mother....:rolleyes:

[Hidden Angel]

Yuck! no i'd never smoke smells soooo bad and its far to bad for you.

[Austin]

Never smoked. Never will. I can't stand the smell. And I couldn't ever date anyone who smokes.

well.. not everyone will have bad breath but many would have smelly clothes after smoking.

anyway, smokers shouldnt be making other people feel unpleasant and make other people inhale poison.

[James]

I used to smoke, but I quit, now I wonder why I even tried it in the first place.

[Trumpetplyer23]

I find this offensive as well, and I never have smoked and never want to smoke.

As for inhaling poison, cars emit 'poision' too, should we ban them?

I mean, it's not good for the people smoking it. Secondhand smoke? It's not as bad as people make it out to be. I lived 13 years of my life with two heavy smokers. I never developed lung cancer or even asthma. My lungs are in good shape. I run all the time, and I play the trumpet, as my username denotes, which takes a lot of lung strength and high lung compacity.

Loads of things are unhealthy. McDonald's is unheathly, but we certainly aren't going to ban one of the most popular fast-food resturants out there simply because people who eat there are more likely to develop serious health problems such as heart disease, high cholesteral, high blood pressure.

Another thing that's unhealthy, motorcycles. A, they emit Carbon Dioxide. B, how many people die a year from motorcycle accidents (ever heard of 'Look Twice, Save A Life?). As for it being unpleasant, the noise, motorcycles are loud as hell.

So, in conclusion, if we want to ban everything that is unpleasant or unhealthy. Well, we're going to be banning a lot of things. I can't even name everything we'd be banning.

[smilealways]

Smoke makes me feel wheezy and that is not nice. Also it makes my clothes smell.
One night I went out for dinner with my relatives, and groups of smokers came in while we were eating and it just ruined our meal.

Anything can be unhealthy if you have too much. I dont think having one hamburger a month will be unhealthy thing to do. And motorcycles, they dont come in to a restaurant, making loud noise and producing carbon dioxide. Some rescuers uses them.

Anyway, you might not care but I dont like having smokers around me because it makes my mates feel unpleasant. Some smokers dont care about other people.

[Trumpetplyer23]

That's your opinion and I'm not going to argue about it or put it down. You have the right to that opinion. Everyone on this site is entitled to their opinion, even if it disagrees with my opinion or your opinion.

[LowestVocal017]

I smoke,not as much as i use to.
some people have to stop saying that we don't care about non-smokers.If we smoke next to you and don't like it,say something.Most of us will apologize and move away from you.

Sorry, hon, but I find this statement to be rather false: There are lots of times when I ask people to not and they get annoyed and either play up a drama or demand that I be the one to move away from them(the thing they failed to realize, however, is that if one could, he or she would've, and I most definitely would've ;)). It's good to know, though, that there are those like you who are more considerate and would gladly move away for a smoke-sensitive person. Thank you. :)

[sexyalex]

I don't smoke often, only when the peer-pressure hits me and i am out at a club or something.....:dry:

Peer pressure? cmon... really?
I think living in Jamaica makes it hard to never smoke :p

tell me about it!:eek:
it's like living in France, impossible not to find love:dry:

:lol:

[lovekh2]

Ditto. Major turn off.

[EM68]

Don't Smoke at all. I tried it a couple of times especially after drinking. I hate the awful taste in my mouth afterwards. Also I workout a bit and if I am going to work my butt in the gym I don't want to smoke.

[panda]

Ah, the joys of smoking.I remember bending in half coughing and gasping and choking,close to puking,finding it hard to catch my breath and then finally once I could catch my breath what would I do but light up another cigarette.:bang:
I remember that first cigarette in the morning when I could feel that smoke cloud up my brain and then stay in that fog for the rest of the day.

Then lastly without smoking I'm just a sex machine.:icon_redf:roflmao:

I quit two years ago.

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

I started in year 10 and the at the beginning of year 11 i quit for 6 months. Then the GCSE's started and i just felt like i needed them to calm down.

[Ryan]

Not me, never have, never will

[dancingqueen79]

my friend used to smoke he said it was hard to quit so i said

"Cigars are like penises, you can suck and blow but iits hard to quit"

[Vampyrecat]

Nope. I never will
My dad smoked like a chimney for 30-40 odd years, a pack of 50 a day.

Annnnnd guess what? He ended up with cancer in his larynx and the muscles around it. So out came the voice box and a whole bunch of muscle. And he has no voice now. -.-
It's his own fault. He ended up with cancer three times and all three times were a direct response from the cigerettes he smoked.

Put me right off the ole deathsticks it did.

[Nj doodle]

EWWWW DONT SMOKE!!!!!!!!:tantrum::***:
Smoking, to me and many others, is such a turn off!
i mean wen u see someone.. you may not know it, but its the scent that attracts you lol
oh and smoking makes you ugly in the future... so thats another reason besides the other 100 reasons.. lol
Just Dont Smoke lol... but thats your choice...:bang:
theres always :help:

[ppreston9]

I want to quit

[mrrolemodel]

i love the smell of smoke.

smokers are pretty hot.
i dont judge people who do either.
ive grown up around it and have no problem with it.
if anything i feel wierd if there isnt some at a social gathering somewhere.

[Nicvcer]

I suggest everyone read my blog about smoking
It covers things like withdrawal, relationships, and the feelings that can come from smoking. I've been smoking 8 years now so its rather detailed, and completely honest.

FOR SMOKERS TRYING TO QUIT!!!!

Do you notice how everytime you say you don't want a cigarette or something, it makes you want one more?

Thats how it is for me.

[stevenisFADING]

used to kinda but quit.

i had been for about a month, but i love singing too much and i knew during the long run i'd be ruined. so i quit.

[Steam Giant]

I don't smoke, and I don't really understand why people do. You're spending what, over a period of years, easily works out to be quite a lot of money, and for what? To cut years off of your life? I understand that quitting is difficult, but jeez, if I had to choose between living a longer life or not....

qft. I couldn't agree more.

[Daniel]

Who says that everything would be smelly after a cigarette. Really depends on how much the person smokes.

And I personally enjoy the smell of the tobacco.

[BitterEdge]

I'd agree with Joey...cigars once and awhile, but never a cigarette or anything more than once in awhile.

[Daniel]

I don't smoke, and I don't really understand why people do.

It is called culture. In many cultures smoking is a social thing to do. Only recently has it become so taboo.

And do you drink? That is directly pooring poison down your throat.

And eating saturated fats can also be considered bad. A lot of things that one, even you, might consume are bad for your health. Yet you can understand why such things are consumed?


One other thing, have you ever had an addiction? I have and I can tell you quiting is one of the hardest things you can go through. It can be physically exhausting and even painfull.


I do agree that smoking is not a healthy life choice but I do not condone those who do it. I personally have and I quit. I didn't want to pay for the cigarettes. Not because they were too expensive but because of my friends always swiping them for themselves.

[Chamber of Life]

Smoking is nasty!!! YUCKY!!

[HalfInsane]

No, not me. I get sick to my stomach when I'm around cigarette smoke, so I couldn't smoke if I wanted to. I'd kill myself within minutes.

[ppreston9]

Who cares if your breath stinks. It tastes good. Just like food. It tastes good but affects your breath. And how about that yummy mcdonalds? Thats great for you right?

[Sammit]

I do. I'm supposed to quit though because my lungs are weak from previous smokers in my life and I have asthma. It's just too damn good to stop though.

I didnt say everything :grin:

Anyway, I dont enjoy it.:eusa_sile

[Steam Giant]

I do drink, maybe one night every 2-3 months at most, once a year at least, but the thing is, I don't habitually drink. Health problems from smoking once every 2-3 months would be similarly negligible.

Yes, I am currently in recovery from an addiction, and will be 9 months clean this Tuesday ^^ so trust me, I know how hard it is to quit. And that's just it, I took steps to quit because I knew that what I was doing was damaging (even threatening) my life and hurting those around me. Quitting is hard. Mega hard. But those are pretty significant motivating factors, and are both present in cigarette addiction as well.

[joshhunt]

I dont smoke and i never intend to

ew.

but to every person their own!

i believe it is 'to each is their own'

Wow. Congratulations!

[grapevine fires]

I used to smoke cigarettes, but I quit a while ago. I wasn't ever a heavy smoker, once every few days, but I decided that smoking didn't fit my lifestyle, so I stopped. My ex smoked frequently, it doesn't really appeal to me, although I love the smell of a nice cigar... it brings back so many memories...

[riley]

i used to smoke 2 or 3 a day, but ive quit now cos my bf doesnt like it.

[Adryen]

I used to smoke 10 or more a day. Even worse when I would drink. I chose to quit drinking and smoking. Both habits were getting way too out of control. I'm happy to say that im 2 months and a week sober from both. YAY ADRYEN!!

[ltb2511]

I dont smoke! I cough if the smoke comes near me due to asthma.

[Poring]

I dont smoke! I cough if the smoke comes near me due to asthma.

ditto.

I may die a painful and horrible death if I even tried :eek:

[nodoubtjunkie]

Nope, i just hate the smell, both of my parents smoke and it's put me off for life. And it singes your eyelashes which means you have to spend like, twice as much on mascara lol.
on a serious note though, if somethings gonna kill me, i'd rather it would be an escaped rhino or an oncoming bus or something, not the lilttle white, over rated and far too expensive, sticks.
