Nope. I'm open to the idea, though.ghoklebutter

No, tried once and didn't like it.

Eh, I don't care if they smoke. If it's a girl though I won't even look her way.

[QUOTE="codymcclain14"]Yes. And I'm not worried, you got to die sometime, I'd rather die young without being really stressed, than live a long life stressed the f*ck out.codymcclain14

Hm, Well all my friends smoke. I'm fine with dying a "painfull" death. smoke doesn't bother many people I know, even after I smoke, I smell like AXE. I enjoy smoking, if dying early, or have painfull death is the down side, then so be it. I'm going to enjoy life and do what I enjoy. If that means poisoning myself with cigs., weed, & Alcohol, then I don't care.

Yes. And I'm not worried, you got to die sometime, I'd rather die young without being really stressed, than live a long life stressed the f*ck out.codymcclain14

it's proven that habitual smokers are more stressed out, compared to non-smokers

the addiction is stressful, the alleviating effect you feel when you light up a cigarette and inhale, largely stems from appeasing your addiction, causing the addiction to give you a break, before it begins to stress you out again until you light up another cigarette

i smoke cigarettes too, but only when i'm out of skunk

now there's a non-stress factor for you right there

Damn.

I smoke cigarettes, but I wouldn't call myself a smoker per se.

I only have that odd cigarette when I want to wind down and relax. I can relax without, but it feels damn good to be with one.

I wouldn't call myself a smoker because I don't go through like a pack a day or anything like that. I also have good self control so I don't have a major freak out when my body is low on nicotine.

If I really enjoy that one cigarette I smoked to relax, maybe I'll pull out another one. I dunno, my answer is very weird :P

Nope

I quit smoking over ten years ago and haven't looked back. I get to spend all that money on something else, like video games.

[QUOTE="codymcclain14"]

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Yeah, that fantastic life of having to go outside to smoke while your friends are inside. The awesomeness of losing capacity of your lungs. That awesome smokers cough and the awesome smoke smell everybody loves. It's also so much more awesome painfully dying of cancer rather than naturally (of course excluding other unforeseen health issues or tragedies) / sarcasm I'll take having to find another way to deal with stress (they do exist you know) instead of all those side effects. Have fun with your choice though. Seriously, what world do you live on where the only negative of smoking is an earlier death?

Many people have said they smoke cause they enjoy it, and don't care about the side effects. But yet you confront me, and suggest everything I say is related to my age?

EDIT: Oh, and I'm 16. Just saying. :P

Go speak to folks in a nursing home who can't dress or bathe themselves. Who can't use the bathroom on their own. Who can't feed themselves. See how much they enjoy dying "naturally".

that's not always the case. lots of people simply die peacefully in their sleep.

I mainly smoke Marlboro reds when I'm out and about, but I'll smoke cigars when I can get my hands on one. If I'm at home and want to relax I'll smoke my pipe.

also, dying from cancer and other ailments caused by smoking is not fun at all.

Most people in the nursing home die peacefully in their sleep, after years of indignity and suffering.

yeah you're right, but then again most people die peacefully from cancer after years of suffering too. And don't you think life's too great of a thing to shorten like that, I'm sure as an atheist you'd understand that. There's too many places to visit, people to meet, foods to try, girls to talk to, books to read, etc. to just be like screw it.

We could all die anytime, ok maybe that statement can seem quite outlandish but it's true.

my GREAT grandmother is still alive after being a smoker for 30 years and she looks very young and travels places

I think life's too great of a thing to live old, feeble and unable to care for myself or enjoy it.

I once heard a tale of a person who smoked from age 16-26, he lived happily ever after and he maintained a better lung capacity then the majority of his friends because he actually did sports.
My point being, the smoking being unhealthy thing is pulled extremely out of proportion compared to other bad habits such as not moving, eating unhealthy or drinking alot.

I don't remember the exact age but before my year 4 of school I once tried to secretly smoke out of curiosity but had a bad experience......

Once in a while. Cigarettes are so expensive here that it is impossible to keep up a habit. But when I can shell out $14, I go for Parliament 100s.almostriver

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Yeah, tell that to both my grandmothers who both died from lung cancer due to smoking. For every 1 of those "he smoked and lived to be old and healthy" stories there are 10 people that die of cancer due to smoking. It's a stupid thing to bring up. Toxic-Seahorse

Si senor, but I haven't been able to afford a deck in over a week and the only time I've smoked in this period was yesterday when I asked a stranger if they had one to spare. It was the best cigarette ever and it was a Marlboro, so that should be saying something.

Smoking is bad, MK?

KC_Hokie

No, can't stand the smell.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"]

[QUOTE="rastotm"] People who eat horrid foods their entire life die because of that, People who never do sports their entire life die because of that, people who drinks lots of alcohol their entire life die because of that. I realize that smoking is hazardous, but constantly hammering on it is quite stupid considering there are major other health problems out there which are largely ignored.

rastotm

Don't smoke and never will.
