Poll: Do you smoke ?

[stok3r]

If I were you, I'd take your parents smokes and flush them down the toilet, and continue to do so until they acknowledged that they are the ones with a destructive habit and that if they are responsible parents, they won't make you suffer for their own lack of judgment.

Good luck with that... I hope they flush your stuff because of it.

I somehow doubt HIS stuff are actually of a 100% destructive nature, not just to himself, but to his whole family, as is the case with smokes.

Not the point, if my kid took my things and flushed them, whatever it was, his privacy and possessions are not safe for at least the next month. Same as I'd expect if I did something similar, you don't just go through peoples things, let alone to throw them away.

Do you have a kid?

Fine, change the "throw away" part to just "take away" and you have an extremely common situation in a family. If your kids don't do things like they should you can take it away from them. Example, you kid neglects his homework and school in favor of playing World of Warcrap, despite numerous conversations about how much he should be playing and under what conditions, you can take it away as a very justified and common method of setting him straight.

So, if this kid's parents can't take proper responsibility with their smoking, despite numerous talks about it and proven facts that they are doing something wrong, or at least doing it the wrong way, I definitely think it's justifiable to take away their cigarettes.
With great freedom, comes great responsibility.

No, I don't have kids. Too young to consider that right now. Sure its justifiable, but I don't think it would help. As a parent, I think you have the right to take away something that is distracting them with their homework, its happened to me many times in the past. Reversely, when my mum discovered that I was smoking, she searched through my room and threw out any cigarettes she found. Did it convince me to quit? No. It just made me pissed.

There are very little things that you can say to a smoker to get them to quit that they haven't heard before. I've only been smoking for 6 months and I've heard alot. My mum quotes the non-smoking adds on tv, and I just say to her that if your gonna try convince me to stop, then try to come up with something original. Don't quote government propaganda.

The hard truth is that some people find pleasure in self-destruction. Some people just do not give a shit that its killing them, and there's nothing you can say to get them to stop.

I don't know who it was, but someone here said that he/she know noone that finds smoking sexy. I for one, do.

This is just a quick one:

I was never talking about the parents quitting. He said they are smoking indoors, without even at least opening any windows, because it's "winter". So I just think they should get real, slap themselves some brains back, and just man up and put on a fucking jacket or something.

oh. didn't notice that well in that case I would shove them outside and lock the doors until they finish i would throw the cigarettes outside maybe smoking indoors is not good, if only for the visitors that can't stand the smell.

Mmm, the taste of Peter Jackson Reds filling my mouth after a long hard day of dealing with shit...man, it saddens me sometimes, like, when i'm out of Zippo fuel.

quit a little bit ago. Was getting to the point of having to shell out over 5 clams for a pack.for me that was roughly a $120 monthly expense.

I used to smoke, but not anymore. I just kind of grew out of it and didn't so much need them anymore. The same story with my boyfriend.

I actually had one a few months ago when two teachers (one of which I really liked) died of heart attacks on the same day during class time.

WOW! $5 a pack? I'd happily pay that. Australian government has taxed us that much that it can be $15 a pack.

What? Really? I hate to speculate, but were they... participating in a substance that may have been... not of quality? Otherwise, that is really freaky.

On topic, I smoke maybe 3 cigarettes a day. Sometimes more, sometimes none. My wife wants me to stop completely, so i asked my doctor about Chantix, which is a medicine that is supposed to help you quit by easing symptoms, but he wouldn't give it to me. Said I didn't smoke enough, and the side effects from the medicine wouldn't be worth it.

So... I can either smoke more to get the medicine, or just keep up my current habit which my doctor apparantly has no problem with. Strange.

Afraid I don't have a story myself :/ but creepy that they both died at the same time from the same thing.

 

[T3h Merc]

Nah. I will not being doing that but... I think it actually looks really cool.

 

[Taxicab Samurai]

I'm not here to advocate smoking, and I would advise you to quit while you're ahead - it's great at the start but trust me, it just becomes a nuisance. Still I do enjoy hearing complaints from non smokers

Quit?
I just started.

Treated myself for Christmas with a nice pack of camel wides.

And I know well of the nuisance.
Me and my bro had the literal choice to eat (we were hungry) or buy smokes.
Guess what we chose?
Didn't regret it either.

Gotta lay off it till I get a steady income.
And ohhhh once the rents find out.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Only ever smoked the odd cigar with friends.
Mairijuana? Never, but would try.
Normal fags? No.

Yes...I guess it is.

Only if he inhales the pen.

I smoke but I'm not really a 'smoker'. It's more of an occasional thing, usually at parties and such. I don't think I've ever actually bought a cigarette.

 

[Crimsader]

Hoorah, non-smokerz win!
