So, i just started smoking...

It's been two weeks now and actually smoking my first pack was an awful experience, dizziness, headaches, stomach aches but now it's actually improved and i can see what all the buzz is about smoking. The worst part probably is that i know the effects of nicotine and i pity myself after every cigarette i smoke, saying to myself "you're poisoning and killing yourself", "you'll die of cancer" but i continue to smoke nevertheless...

So, are there any smokers on OT and what are your experiences with smoking

i smoke cigarettes sometimes. but i go to the gym and get good exercise, so i figure it cancels out the negative effects of cigarettes.

Quit while you'e not hooked. Like NOW.

What is done ... cannot be undone.

its a waist of money i havent started when i was a kid so i dont need now, smoking is disgusting

i remember my friend would hate his parents for smoking and would get mad at our other friends for smoking but then he tried it a couple of times and he smokes constantly so i've seen how addicting and powerful smoking can get. TC, you know, everytime you smoke your increasing your chances significantly of getting lung cancer, throat cancer, heart disease and all that but yet no matter how much you think about it you can't stop. So i say you should try to stop right now since you just started it.

Stop smoking mate,My mother died of cancer through smoking,and when you have to look after someone with cancer you would soon stamp on that cigarette.

Smoking isn't a habit you want to pick up. I smoke occasionally, but it isn't something I would do on a regular basis.

Smoking (as you have probably heard many times before) really does doirreversible damage to your body, and thats something you have to think about if you want to continue smoking.

you guys inhale acetone, i inhale roids.

The headaches and what not will start going away soon if you keep it up.

I smoke sometimes, still get a little nice head rush, but I don't do it often.

My smoker friends really try to keep me from smoking more, and I appreciate the gesture a lot.

It's your choice if you want to smoke it. If we didn't do something because we thought it might be dangerous we might as well sit in our houses all day and hook up to a life support machine. I mean you wouldn't want to go outside, you might be run over if a car were to drive off the pavement. Don't breathe the air, it's polluted. As long as you don't overdo it you will be fine. The same people who complain about smokers killing themselves are often the ones who go out and enjoy sports and such. Good for you, but you're probably just as likely to die going down a mountain on a bike regularly than you are from developing cancer from smoking. Don't try and force your life choices on others, especially when you aren't even seeing it from their perspective.

Almost everything is not that bad if done with moderation and almost everything is bad if done in excess. I think smoking applies to that too.kuraimen

There are better things you can smoke my friend, relatively guilt-free.KHAndAnime

[QUOTE="jimy1475"] That depends, my grandad has been a smoker his whole life, he stopped smoking 2 years ago when he got a heart attack. He's 75 now. Basically my whole family (except my uncle and his wife) are smokers so i decided to join the club. Everyone is saying that i will regret it one day but i just want to experience the feeling. To see what the fuzz is all about. I'm even planning on quitting in a few years but you never know, nicotine addiction is supposedly a very strong one.

How can you plan on quitting if you are not even addicted yet?

I don't really understand why someone would WANT to start smoking. I mean I get why people who smoke continue to smoke (because of the nicotine addiction and all), but why would you want to start in the first place? Is it supposed to make you cool or something? Tauruslink

What I Liked about Smoking:

The bonding I experienced with other smokers.
The feeling of creating a ritual.
Watching the cigarette burn and watching the smoke swirl.
Momentary gratification.

There is a "What i hated about smoking" but i'm not going to post it as i'm not really addicted yet.

If the whole first pack was terrible why would you keep smoking...thats something I will never understand. There are few things that I find more repulsive than smoking.

Why did you continue if the first pack was awful? horgen123

The first time you smoke is not a pleasent experience for most people, although mine went fine. You get used to them soon enough.

Don't worry, the really bad effects of cigarettes don't begin for about 17 years.

They'll have cured cancer by then......probably, and if they don't, I'm sure ur freinds and family will just enjoy suffering because of ur bad decisions.

Myself and others I know like the general high and calm it brings.I'm usually a social smoker though.
