Pipes, Cigars, and Cigarettes I smoke 'em all.

My grandmother (fathers side) never smoked a day in her life, and was never around smokers; she got lung cancer and died.

My grandfather (mothers side) has been smoking for sixty six (66) years and can out do kids 1/3 his age. His only health problem is high cholesterol.

My mother has been smoking for forty one (41) years and she's in great health.
Heart rate: 56. Blood pressure: 110/70, and she could hold her breath for 3 1/2 minutes

Explain that T.R.U.T.H.

I can think of a plethora of better ways to slowly commit suicide, and none of them are as disgusting as smoking.

No offense.. but I hate people like you. 'Social' smoking is the most pretentious thing you could possibly do, why not just go out and, I dunno, NOT smoke? As far as I see it, you don't kill yourself, and you still get to talk with mates.. win/win?

That's because it's all about statistics.
You increase your risk quite extremely but that doesn't mean anybody definitely gets it.
However, if you look at people who did get cancer or COPD or whatever, the vast majority are smokers.
Of course, everybody hopes/thinks they won't be the ones that get cancer from it.
Too big a gamble, if you ask me, though.

I do not smoke, nor will I ever.

As a side note, I absolutely hate it when people smoke in public. It is so selfish, and not to mention, it is really bad for you. I do not see the point in smoking. Some people say it "calms you down" but what it really does, is it stops your craving for nicotine, which is what is making you agitated in the first place.

I consider smoking as a slow form of suicide. As I am not suicidal, I'm not going to try it.

Luck.

All 4 of my grandparents and two great aunts smoked for 50-60 years and all died to lung cancer.

My dad has been smoking for 50 years and is in perfect health but his friend who never smoked and kept in perfect shape dropped dead of a heart attack.

I don't smoke myself but I have a pipe for appearances and that I'd look jolly silly wearing a monocle and smoking jacket without one.

Never have and never will. Just being near smoke makes me somewhat nauseous and multiple people in my family have died of lung cancer.

I smoke to feel a bit more free than people who restrict themselves. That and I love to piss the wrong goodies of the world.

Since addiction is another form of freedom taker, I'd rather smoke in a casual way. Therefore, I don't get addicted. Besides, I don't smoke all the time. Even if my friends smoke in front of me, I don't get pissed.

Besides, dying of smoking is long-term. I could stop wearing my helmet before doing some bicycle and hit or be hit by a car. I could drink multiple shots of different alchohol and suffer from alchohol poisoning. I could swim in a river and drown myself.

Point is, why the fuck should I restrain myself to live a boring life?

Occasionally. Even though the hurt my health, I think that if we limit ourselves by what we do and what can kill us, we limit ourselves too much. I smoke it and I enjoy it.

Sorry, I didn't realise smoking made your life less 'boring'.. Seeing as it'll likely turn you into a coughing, wheezing, generally unfit person, I'd have thought it'd actually make it MORE boring, seeing as you couldn't do any physical activity without getting knackered.

But I'm not here to lecture, I don't mind people smoking but only doing it because others areound you do gets on my nerves a little.
