Poll: I Just Started Smoking :D

[No_Remainders]

Enjoy the period when you start coughing up phlegm mixed with tiny little black specks of tar.

A few of my friends complained about that a few months after they started smoking.

I laughed in their faces. It's your own body, be as moronic as you want with it, but stay the fuck away from me.

I know many people who smoke and only a few who like it. I have never tried it and have no desire. I can't stand the smell. Smoking is a deal breaker when I smell it on a female. Sure you can say it is a great way to meet people, but so is anything else you do that involves going outside.

I've been smoking for a few years now and the reasons I enjoyed it so much were the same as yours (seriously smoking is the BEST way to meet new people) I enjoy having a smoke when I'm stressed and it's always good for a nice.... ahem... 'movement'

that being said I've tried to quit dozens of times, believe me when I tell you it's no walk in the park to quit for good, you might enjoy the head rush from smoking now but it fades and before you know it you're having a smoke in the pouring rain just so you want snap at one of your co-workers.

is smoking fun? yeah sure it is, plus you meet plenty of people and it relaxs you.

but I can't stress this enough The things you enjoy the most about smoking will NEVER outweigh the bad things about it.

I think you can replace every instance of "smoking" or "smoke" with the words "cocaine" or "heroine".

 

[JWRosser]

For reals? No foolin'? Gee willikers, mister, I wanna be like you when I'm older!


PS, you made this thread twice.

Bullshit, everyone who smokes claims they aren't addicted and can stop anytime they want in fact, I'm pretty sure that's one of the signs of addiction

I can tell you with 100% honesty that not everyone who smokes has said that.

Me and 2 of my friends smoke and we've never once said we're not addicted and can quit anytime we want.

In fact i've said it time and time again that I am addicted and have no intention of quitting .... ever.

Please don't tell me to stop, because I am not addicted to it and could if I want to. I enjoy smoking.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Oooooooooh naivety.

 

[Weslebear]

Handily this was already CTRL C'd, and I just wanted more opportunities to use it.


Anyway, FOOL pretty much summons up my opinion but do whatever the hell you want really.

Hello son, this is your dad.

I'm so proud of you for picking up a wholesome and respectable hobby for once instead of those nerdy video games.

*applause*

Genius.

Fact: Smoking will addict you. You cannot avoid it. Get out while you can.

 

[ChaoticKraus]

Cool story bro.

I can't stop you, but i can point out that cancer is a high price to pay for just enjoying the social aspect.

 

[Sarry1433]

No...Just no...Blow your brain out with a gun.It will be way less painful.I have 3 painful death of lung cancer in the family caused by smoking.At least your loved ones won't suffer.s

 

[mental_looney]

I do it for the camaraderie. I enjoy going outside with friends to have a smoke.

I personally prefer staying indoors and not smoking especially in winter, it too is awesome for camaraderie...

 

[Pandaman1911]

Hey, it's your body, chief. Do to it what you want. If you've found something you love that's detrimental to your health, great. Don't stop. Smoke all the cigarettes in the world, and don't let anyone tell you not to.

I'm a smoker.

This thread is dumb.

This is like starting a thread saying "I took up drinking", "I took up whoring", "I took up pot"" or "I took up S & M".

Why should we care? This thread is simply to rattle cages.

 

[s0p0g]

Please don't tell me to stop, because I am not addicted to it and could if I want to. I enjoy smoking.

do you even realise how ridiculous that sounds? "i could stop. if i wanted. but i don't want to, so why would i?!" - /golfclap

also:
you have to use smokes to feel camaraderie?
you have my sympathies. and/or the wrong friends. i do not know enough about either to come to a final conclusion, but i am fairly certain it's one of those options

 

[loc978]

I won't tell you to stop (hell, I smoke on occasion myself), but I will tell you that pre-packaged cigarettes of any kind are the worst and among the most expensive tobacco you can buy. I would recommend switching to a pipe, or rolling your own cigs.

Seriously, cigarettes are terrible for you. The shit they use to cure the tobacco and paper is pretty much the biggest contributor to tar content and other carcinogens in the things.

Personally, I smoke whiskey flavored tobacco with a pipe... or dried fruit with a hookah, if someone has such a thing laying around.

 

[Love Deluxe]

if you're gonna smoke, smoke
just don't be a jerk about it and most people won't give you any trouble

but if an anti-smoker starts harassing you, put it out in his eye! >

I snort cocaine at parties for the camaraderie.

with or without hookers?

You know what? It's your body. It's one thing to walk into my house and smoke (I'm very sick so it's not the best idea to inhale anything bad) but you can do whatever the heck you want in your own house or outside. Don't let anyone stop you if you don't feel like stopping. This goes for anything, not just smoking. You have a right to do whatever the heck you want so use it.

i for one like your attitude

 

[Susan Arendt]

Yeah, I'm just gonna ignore your OP and tell you to quit. Now. While it's still relatively easy to do so. You can go hang with people on your smoke break without actually lighting up yourself. I have no doubt that you enjoy it, but you will, at some point in the future, want to quit, either for health reasons or simple expense. (Smoking is hella expensive.)

 

[Laser Priest]

Smoke is WEAK. Noob Saibot is better.

But yeah, it's a health risk that makes you smell awful and annoys pretty much every non-smoker in range, so I see no upside whatsoever.

Smoke if you want to, just know that it's probably the worst decision you'll ever make.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

What is this, I don't even...


Are you for real? People are starting?

In this day and age?

Mind boggling.

"In this day and age"? What do you mean?

OT: Are you... trolling? 'Cause if so, you're not very good. Sorry.

What I mean, is that there is so much information easily available that warns people just how bad for you smoking is, that only a idiot would start.

You can do what you want with your body, that's your right, but it's also my right to tell you how stupid it is.

 

[yookiwooki]

Please don't tell me to stop, because I am not addicted to it and could if I want to. I enjoy smoking.

So you are not going to stop until you are addicted and unable to stop? I thought that was a funny way of putting it.

 

[ShakyFiend]

I'm sure the poll has already been done, but look it up.... :effort:

So I just started smoking last week and I'm loving it so far. I do it for the camaraderie. I enjoy going outside with friends to have a smoke. I tried Camels but like Marbs better. I just wanted to see what people think of smoking, and to see what everyone else smokes?

Please don't tell me to stop, because I am not addicted to it and could if I want to. I enjoy smoking.

If your gonna smoke cos you enjoy it at least smoke something good! Look for 'Vogues', or Sobranies, first very cheap and smooth, second expensive and very tasty. Or try cigarillos, (small cigars).
