Do you smoke?

I was just interested in knowing how many of you people here smoke.

I think it is disgusting and should be banned world wide.

I will post some stuff on why you shouldn't smoke.

For now, More than half the ingredients are known to cause canser, and it contains crap like fly spray, tar, rocket fuel, can cause blindess, and is basicly slowly commiting suicide.

Don't smoke.

Vote truthfully in my poll...

No, cigarettes doesn't contain fly-spray, but nicotine is used in some types of fly-sprays.

Some types of cigarettes contain some kind of ammoniac though, because ammoniac causes nicotine to be obtained in your system quicker. And therefor making the smoker more addicted.

I used to smoke.. from age 13 to about 2 months ago. I'm 27 now.

It was hard to quit, and i still now and then fell like having a smoke.

it IS a disgusting habit, BUT it is up to people them self's if they want to smoke.

(IMHO) A world wide ban would make even more people smoke, especially teens.

i hate cigarettes and i'm unofortunate enough to live in a country with absolutely no anti-tobacco laws. finding a place where i can have a drink without having to wear a gas-mask is a daily chore :(

i do enjoy a cigar or two...a year.

people who smoke should die. enough said. including lindsay lohan hehehee

#279489

no. i don't. but i do drink wine and light beer even though i'm a sophomore. i don't find it a problem. it's just people sometimes are stupid and overdrink. if careful enough not to get drunk or carried away, then it should be ok to drink half a bottle a week. smoking, though is not good and should be discouraged. but you chose your life so i won't interfere.

i wonder what happens if i never smoked before but started chewing nicotine gums. will i get addicted?

people who smoke do die. :D

with that said, i do smoke ever so lightly. about 3-4 cigs a month. that's right, about half a year to smoke a whole pack. it's so lame i'm not even worthy of the title of a "smoker". But my lungs surely suffer some ill efect from my extremely light smoking. I only smoke when i am seriouly stressed, usually relationship related.

#279498

Huh ... well i dont smoke Tobacco

But i cant say the same about weed ^^

#279501

yes. not really too much though, a pack of 20 lasts me just over a week.

gona die anyway right?

#279502

I gag when i smell cigarrettes, they're disgusting. I think cigarrettes are for losers, that aren't self-confident and quitters when they can't face the problem, so they smoke to kinda get away from the problem. I don't see a reason WHY SMOKE. YUCK

#279541

Everybody dies, not only those who smoke :P - I know people that smoked throughout their lives and they died of old age ;)

#279544

Seph is right, but some people aren't healthy as much to take smoking for years, those are the ones that they mentioned up top.

Just one question..... WHY SMOKE?

#279554

Yes, but the lungs of all the people are not the same, you could die at 35 years old, or 60 or 70 is more a russian roulette

#279555

even though everybody dies that's not the point. it's how you live your life. don't smoke if you want a better and happier life. smoking feels good, but have side effects that are 2x worse. i would like to live long and die happily.

#279559

Leading a "better or happier life" has nothing to do with whether you smoke or not.

I smoked for over 20 years before I quit. My life was just the same now as it was then.

I quite for two reasons.

1. I don't want my two year old daughter to see her father partaking of such a nasty habit. Yes.. it's nasty, but it's MY choice. And I do agree on having laws prohibiting smoking in public restaurants and public buildings.

2. I refuse to pay $4.00 in taxes on a .99 cent pack of cigarettes.

And if anyone wants to get into the topic of health, alcohol kills more people each year than tobacco.

I'd like to see a worldwide ban on that. Stupid drunks driving cars and killing innocent people.

#279561

Well, in my case I had to leave it for health reasons, it felt oppression in chest, couldn´t breathe well, I smoked during 10 years, and I´m more happy now.

I think that's very impressive that you did such thing for your kids, my parents didn't do that to me when I was a toddler... :P But they taught me educated me to do what's right. ;)

Very nice of you RJ. ;)

#279571

were talking about tobaco right?

#279574

i do admit that they have very week relations and can never be proportional but i do have some friends that started smoking to get popular, and then their lives when exponentialy down. but you do have a good point. i wish i can show such an example to my friends.

IMO, tobbacco and alchohol is negative, but radiation is too. but if you minimize the chance of injury, etc to near 0, then it's ok for a bit if you like it. it can even be helpful. However, be very careful. anything can be bad. suntaning too much can be bad. studieng and shutting yourself out of your familly and friends can be bad too. too much money WHICH causes you to be greedy can be bad (money isn't the problem. it's the person that has it).

i just wished that people that smoke and drink and drugs and stuff are aware of the risk that they are taking and take action when they are obviously overdoing it.

#279575

God you make no sense whatsoever :slant: - mind trying a thought per sentence?

People who smoke get a bad life - ROFL, now there's a funny uninformated post.

#279576

you guys are all crazy. when i look at a woman, the features i look for most are those sexy, gorgeous yellow fingers and those beautiful dark teeth, and most of all, what i call the aroma of love, the sweet stench of cigarette breath. a combination of any of those three makes me wild and super horny, much like i would imagine it would make any woman when seeing a male smoker. face it. guys who smoke get more chicks because they smell sooo h.o.t.

is my argument absurd? well, think about it. it's no more absurd than any argument defending why you should smoke.

#279587

you have a point, one cannot impose a point of view on the everybody else. I was happy smoking of party in party, is just that I began to feel the physical damage and wasn´t funny any more, that's all.

#279597

I don't smoke, but I have a lot of friends that do. It doesn't bother me.

Since when has this become an ethics board?

#279610

Most smokers I know are trying to give up...give the guys a break...what a stupid and pointless thread which has nothing to do at all with mac emulation...I've been trying to give up smoking for thirty years....you damn creeps know nothing!

#279622

this doesn't have anything to do with ethics, relax guys is just about personal opinions, but yes maybe is a pointless thread

#279628

they died of old age/QUOTE]

People don't just die of old age, something in them stops working eventually and that's how they die. Age is one of the causes but there is usually something else involved. I'm not even going to try to correct anyone else in this thread because they're all bumbling idiots who are saying the stupidest stuff I've ever heard (for example; "i smelled smoking people all the time. it didn't kill me. but that didn't mean for me to inhale as much as i can though. i tried to avoid them. same for everything else." - WTF is he talking about here? why would anyone even considering inhaling as much second-hand smoke as possible?) :confused: What happened to the D.A.R.E. program anyways?
