I smoke, i don't find it necisserily cool i just like it.
I never smell bad from smoking and i dont have any marks to show i smoke, for now.
I have vowed i will stop before i am 20 though, 6 more years to go.
You are aware that any body who smokes before the age of i think 16(maybe 18 ill have to check the book)does PERMANENT IRREVERSIBLE LUNG DAMAGE correct? You smoking at 14 is one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. Shame on the people letting you get ahold of cigs. when your 18 i could care less but really dude your 14 and your already ruining things for the next 60 years or however long you live.

No, Neo from the Matrix, when he went into the lobby of that office building. Now that was cool.

Smoking on its own is never cool. It may occasionally accentuate someone's natural awesomeness, but people who smoke to look cool will probably never look cool regardless of what they do.

Smokers just bother me when they're within smelling range and I'm indifferent if they aren't.

Smoking, as constant reminder (because cause of) death can only be cool. Those that cling to life (and, yes, I am one) regardless are uncool. It makes no sense, but the felatory pleasure of smoking is a unique coolness.

I don't find smoking cool, but I don't consider it uncool either....actually, it is uncool but only because it really harmful for your health, and also it makes you stink and have bad breath, and BLACK lungs...and so on
So just in these past posts most of the "outlook" is that smoking kills you and you get cancer so you "smokers" are stupid for killing themselves? Also added on bonus points for how smelly and unsexy and over all easily persuaded smokers are too.

Even though a quick look into Caffeine shows it is equally as dangerous for your body(http://www.medicinenet.com/caffeine/article.htm Best one I found that was more fair on the effects) I am sure I am not the only one who thinks coffee smells like death,Why can people drink coffee a harmful smelling substance and not be insulted constantly?

So it seems to non smokers, Smoking a pack a month is going to give me cancer but it's cool and preferred to drink a two litter of soda a day? But that would be stupid to warn people about large amounts of soda intake it seems.

But living with Cardiovascular Problems, Emotional Disturbances, Blood Sugar Swings, Gastrointestinal Problems,Nutritional Deficiencies, Male and Female Health issues, Adrenal Exhaustion, Severe Blood Sugar Swings,and Acid Imbalance. Is awesome because it comes from caffeine instead?

But giving children diabetes from a large intake of soda and sugar is perfectly ok for parents to do,But if you start smoking even a little then your getting cancer!!!

I think it looks quite cool in some cases*, but smelling like death, having lung problems, and all that other shit isn't good or cool. All the chavvy types at College smoke, and they're fugly and smell awful.

His fault
Seriously, he should be in really bad shape by now...

Also Spike. Yeah it pretty much looks cool in anime, comics and films. :p

Viewed at a distance in a leather jacket without the real world aspects... smoking is very cool.

However, it is not cool when you're loafing around your trailer home in flip flops and shorts hot-boxing your shit all day until you and your existence smells like impovershed ass.

Because while coffee consumption is detrimental to your health, it alone does not kill you. Only if you have underlying heart problems, or drink enough of it to basically fill a swimming pool a day...

That said, and here's a shocker: I also think coffee is STUPID and don't drink any of it. But much like I think smoking isn't as stupid as mainlining heroine I think drinking coffee is less stupid than smoking.

Also the smell of coffee is very limited to the mug it's in... Smoke from a cigarette travels quite far away.

Lastly, drinking 2 litters of soda a day is also, yeah you guessed it, pretty stupid if you plan on living past 30.

Smoking is about as cool as slitting your own wrists. That said, I like smoking. I got into it by smoking rollies when had no weed left. I couldnt give a a flying fuck as too how cool I or any other person looks while doing it. There are very fews things I dislike about smoking, anti-smoking ads annoy me more than anti-marijuana ads (cause anti-mj ads are shit funny), some peoples attitude towards smoking (like people who think their superior to me because they dont smoke) and having to smoke outside during winter. Everything else, I can look past. Plus, I dont spend much money on it cause I roll my own.

But same thing with smoking I find people like me who smoke a pack a month, Will have no issues from smoking so little. The issues come from people who smoke too much. But like Soda you can drink too much of it and cause health problems. In fact there are far more problems dealing with obesity and a poor diet in children then second hand smoke killing children.

I just wish so many, "Omg lolz cancer" people would see that just blindly stereotyping every smoker as a pack a day smoker and dirty filthy person is just false but instead it is easy and "cool" to pick on smoking but yet all the parents and people who have a poor diet get a lot of sympathy because they can't help they have a poor diet.

P.S In my experience, People who are feverishly anti-smoking and "tolerance" minded. End up treating you when your disabled like your a child and rarely ever offer any meaningful help other then a "Awww" before they walk on drinking Starbucks coffee.

Why at least any smoker I see I know they made a choice to not care what people think of them and instead do what they want to do with there life.

I really don't like smoking and the whole thing that comes with it; the smell, the cravings (and what that will make some people do) etc etc. That said, I have tried it (I'm sorry to say) but will never do so again.
You can't knock something until you've tried it.
But in all honesty, I'd never stop someone from smoking if they chose to and I'd never take the choice away either. Why get involoved in someone else's life choices? Who really cares? - it's their life they're wasting.

Undoubtedly people who smoke a pack a month will have less or less severe problems than people who smoke 3 packs a day, but you'll have them nonetheless.

And it's back to the "not as stupid as, but stupid nonetheless". Although I will say that smokers ARE filthy. They have to be, look at what's in a cigarette and notice that you're putting it in your mouth and sucking it...

Help? What kind of help do you want? It's terrible for you. You know it. Everyone knows it. You choose to smoke it. You're clearly not in any hurry to quit. There's nothing we can do for you.

Are other people going to look down on you? Some, yeah... Much like they would to someone they saw doing something they consider incredibly stupid.

Though I agree smoking isn't healthy. I still consider someone who smokes cigarette's, A hookah, Cigar, Kretek, or pipe tobacco for stress removal every now and then. Healthier then a lot people at the moment who eat pounds of sugar never exercise and weigh 300 pounds.

I just find it funny how all this kind of unbiased "hate" towards smokers is fine in today's society, Where someone who does cocaine gets more respect then someone who smokes because smokers are easy targets for people to insult and get high fives from other non smokers.

Ah, Wasn't clear enough sorry about that.I mean find people who are feverishly anti-smoking and supposedly "tolerant" minded are the same people who end up treating you like your a idiot or mentally handicapped for being Deaf or suffering from another disability.

If I wanted to look "cool" with something in my mouth, I'd chew on a toothpick.
