Smoking. Do you and why?

[Jandau]

I don't smoke and quite frankly I can sooner understand someone hitting on Heroin than smoking. Both are addictions, both will suck your money and ruin your health, but at least Heroin feels really good and you don't poison everyone in the vicinity.

Recently my country passed a no-smoking-in-public-places law and the smokers have been up in arms about it. Apparently, now their rights are being violated but it wasn't a problem when they were violating the rights of non-smokers. Also, I detest the "If you don't like the smoke don't go into bars!" argument. Why should I be the one who gets to stay the fuck out? I'm not the one poisoning the area.

I'm a casual smoker. I only ever smoke on Fridays when I go out drinking.

Same although i used to smoke but i quit.

I don't see what the big fuss about quitting is, it's easy if you ask me. I just substituted it with food and drinks. Instead of a sneaky tab during lunch id have some MnMs.

To all thoose who think there are no benefits: Nicotine rush if you're drinking it makes you feel a little more drunk and if you're not it just gives you a feeling that..well.. feels good theres no way to describe it.

yes yes we all know smoking kills you eventually especially if cancer runs in your family, but a 20 a day habit only shaves off 5 years of your life on average And to be honest i dont actually care

I'd rather have more fun when im young and enjoy my "harmful" habbit than staying alive until im 80 and regretting that i didn't try everything atleast once.

some of my friends smoke, I don't and never will.
It makes you smell like a ashtray, and gives you crap condition.

I don't smoke, for a few key reasons (in this order):

1) I enjoy living. I don't like the risks associated with smoking, as they could shorten my life.

2) I dislike the smell. You can always tell when someone has been smoking, there is just a stench about them. I really dislike this smell, as it makes me gag, and when you already have really sensitive gag reflexes, that isn't good.

3) It's incredibly expensive. I can't afford an extra 5-9 dollars per day. I have no cash as is, that extra amount of money would certainly screw me over.

4) It's a turn-off. I personally don't know anyone that finds smoking attractive in the least. The way I see it, smokers (at least the ones I know), typically run with a certain "crowd". I know this is not always the case, but often times it is.
