A fair number of mine have, but they're not really people who I cared that much about if they really wanted to. This person today though.. It was so weird. I was just walking around my school, and I was passing the 'smoking area' where people go to smoke, (Although it's not allowed at our school,  smoking that is) with a friend and then I just looked at her and looked in to her eyes the second she was taking a drag, and her expression didn't change atall, and neither did mine but I was so.. Disappointed in her.

I didn't think she would be the type to do it.. But then again I wouldn't have thought that of any of my other friends who have started smoking in the first place.

I guess I just have to lower my expectations of people.

Why would you look down on someone who smoked?  Pot I understand, but not cigarettes.

I've never smoked, btw

Only one.

He's a nice guy, but he smokes and he spits, and it's really nasty :( 

He's great, but this smoking thing is holding me back from getting to know him better. It's hard to keep up a conversation when he stops to spit every minute. Why do smokers spit all the time anyway, or is it just him?

Smoking is not helping. I don't want to get in to an argument with you, Jandurin.. I just know I'll lose. :P That is, unless you are willing to have a serious discussion? :|

None of my friends smoke (that I know of)... But my mom smokes, and I know from living with it (and from having asthma) that smoking is the most disgusting habit I have ever known in my life. It really is. I can't wait until college next fall so I can move out and stop living in this ashtray. >_>

None of my friends smoke cigarrettes. I think it depends on, more than anything other factors, where you live and what's your age group. Depending upon your State for example (if you live in the U.S. that is), there is a difference in the proportion of smokers to non-smokers because of the cost of cigarrettes (high tax on tobacco products in California I believe) in addition to the massive amounts of money put into the anti-smoking campaign/advertisements about the harmful affects to your health. I say age group matters because nowadays we aren't bombarded with advertisements or films where actors/actresses make smoking seem cool as they did back in the day.

It's more of a status symbol for the kind of person around here. It may be different in other places. But the thing is, the person I'm talking about was someone who I thought was above that. I mean, I might be just being arrogant about it.. But you can't deny that smoking is a good thing.

Well, nicotine is an extremely addictive drug.

It's not a "habit".

Kind of, except it wasn't quite so glamorous. And I was a fair bit away from her. I'd say about 7 or 8 meters. That's almost it.

>_> All it takes is strong willpower, and you can overcome it. I used to smoke half a pack to a pack a day (for a few years), and then one day I stopped, and now I just smoke very very occasionally, probably 1-5 cigarettes a month.

It does to those kids who play CS:S who think that they are "t3h ub3r 1337 pwnz0r" when it comes to real life combat because they play CS:S

Can you really compare something that could possibly give you cancer to a mere pastime? And also, cigarettes are a vice. You may as well say that TV is as bad as cigarettes.

Big tobacco is amazingly efficient at getting new customers.

and the product takes care of keeping customers.

My dad smokes. He is trying to quit now and has been off it for a week or since he said he was going to quit. Its cool that he is quitting cause I wont breathe in the 2nd hand smoke and it will save our family money but he is VERY VERY irritable and just goes insane from the lack of the nicotene. So ya cigarettes suck. When he did smoke all my clothes would smell like tobacco smoke and kids at school would accuse me of smoking and that I smelled bad (That was when I was in Jr.High a few years ago). So ya smoking sucks. Same with pot that sucks too.

A lot of my friends do smoke or have smoked at one point. A lot of them have quit, although a fair amount of them continue to irregularly treat themselves to a joint now and then. I don't condone their behavior, but there are worse things out there that they could be putting into their bodies.

You never mentioned health - and either way, playing videogames and posting on forums isn't the most healthy thing either. If you smoked occasionally and used free time to exercise as opposed to sitting on the computer posting on forums or playing videogames, I think you'd be fine.
