Well; do you? :P

I started since wednesday since I'm tired of all the crap that's coming from my (girl)friend, you know, the whole drama. :/ Couldn't take it anymore, so I said, **** this, give me a sigaret and let me chill.

How did you start?

Quit a while ago. So glad too.

Smoking is for people with a lack of self respect or intelligence. I know thats pretty stereotypical, but it's the most common case.

Yeah, and kids that dress in all black clothing worship the devil. I know that's pretty stereotypical, but it's the most common case. >_>

You're completely missing my point.

My friends parents smoke, and after I leave his house, my eyes are irritated badly. They start to water, a lot. My mom used to smoke, but thankfully she gave it up, even after smoking for about 20-30 years. =)

So no, I do not smoke, and I never will. c_;)

Oh and also it's nearly proven that smoking is only a psychological and societal habit. Those after the age of around 35 that don't smoke rarely (if ever) pick up a cigarette. 35 is also the age they have established where people are fully comfortable with themselves and aren't as reliant on the opinions of others. Smoking is typically done in order to portray an older age, to fit in with friends, or to gain acceptance among certain peer group. It only "calms you down" because you are addicted to nicotine and need it in your system to feel "normal".

When I'm uptight I listen to music, take a hot shower, chew gum, or watch a movie. Then it's usually gone. Some of you have just chosen to take the path that harms yourself (thus being, the stupid path). So really there is no other way to look at it. You don't NEED to smoke by any means and it doesn't provide any benefits that can't be found elsewhere by safer means. But hey, I'm not the one that will be dying sooner :)

No I don't, and I don't plan on starting either, especially since I've heard about the effects it has - Cancer, emphysema (sp?), and things like making your breath smell bad and teeth yellow, as well as other problems. My mom smokes... alot... and the smoke itself bothers me.

Smoking is for ignorant individuals with a lack of self control and self respect. Therefore I don't do it.

I chew gum instead. One pack every day or two :)

Well said,

My grandad died of lung cancer, and watching him die in so much pain put me off smoking...

Ross it pisses me off when you talk like you're so high above everyone else and you think you know everything and they don't? Don't you think these people have been educated in how smoking causes death sooner? I mean, really theres no need to keep saying it over and over, I'm not sure what you're trying to do but I'm sure they've heard it many a time before. I don't smoke, but I don't make the people that do feel like crap either.

No, some haven't come to the realization of what they are doing to themselves.

What he's trying to do is to convince them to stop and stop killing themselves slowly and painfully. Is that so bad?

So you're telling me that some smokers(besides one nowhere near civilization) don't know it's bad for them, even though it makes them cough and they're taught in the ways of fire safety and to avoid smoke? And another thing...HEALTH CLASS. Nice try Ross.

I personally don't know whether or not it relieves stress. The two times I've tried cigs I coughed a lot and smelled bad, and the cigar I tried was disgusting. A lot of the people I know who smoke claim it relieves stress, so I dunno

One of the largest urban myths ever. Probably so popular because people who smoke can use it as a self-reassurance tactic.

That it relieves stress? That is true. :c_huh:

erm

Knowing that smoking is bad and coming to the realization that it's slowly killing them are two completely different things. And when has health class done anything? Most of my health teachers smoked and did dip. Health class educates, it doesn't change minds.

You need to get something straight, no one is higher than anyone on this forum, just because they are staff doesn't mean I can't tell them how I feel about things, and I'm sorry but I didn't hear any moaning.


At Ross: my health class tried very hard to change our minds about smoking and drugs.

Exactly. They TRIED. You have to feel the conviction for something like that before it will really do any good. Just like I've seen kids quit smoking when someone close to them dies of lung cancer. And quit drinking when a friend dies by a drunk driver.
