Poll: Smoking

[Cowabungaa]

Never, I find it horrible. Mainly because of 2 things: my grandma is suffering under her smoking habit, but she refuses to stop. The other one is an amazing girl I know, she's 14, incredibly nice, helped me with so many things, she already has a pretty weak health but keeps on smoking anyway. Sure I know that she has the age of rebellion and crap, but the downside of smoking is: there is a fat chance you're stuck to it after that period because you're simply addicted, you can already see the consequences on her; her lovely smile is getting grubby, she keeps having those horrible coughs, she smells constantly, etc etc.
Both things make me incredibly sad and angry, hence why I hate smoking with a passion.

Yeah i'm a smoker. My advice is don't start young (i.e when you're 15), because by the time you get tired and frustrated with the whole experience (when you're 20/21/22), and you come to the realisation that people weren't lying when they told you it was hard to quit, you are in a period of your life where you are frequently socialising and stressing over of work/education.

No I don't, but my mum's a chain smoker which means I inevitably stink of smoke too.
A girl in my drama class keeps asking me, "Have you had a cig?" nearly every day, and I keep telling her I don't smoke.
I'm going to punch her in the face one day. I hate it when people don't listen.

You might want to start and wash your clothes then.
Or not stand right in the face of your mum when she smokes.

I do, I wash my clothes and bathe like any normal person despite the fact I'll end up smelling like a tap room again.
I sit at the other end of the living room, but smoke travels. That's how curtains and wallpaper end up yellow.

I quit about a year ago.

 

[arcainia]

Don't need to. I get plenty of second hand smoking.

 

[ioxles]

I'm 21 and I smoke a pipe, does no one else?

 

[Antidamacus]

I just quit smoking after 6 or so years. Today marks my 2 week smoke free anniversary!

Well congrats then.

I don't see the attraction in starting smoking, why would you want to stick something that is on fire in your mouth and then inhale the fumes?

This.

Also, in my experience, frequent smokers smell horrible. As do their homes. And cars. I don't want to smell like that.

 

[Caliostro]

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Starnerf]

I could never justify the expense of smoking, and I'd prefer to keep my lungs in decent condition. I'm in bad enough shape as it is that I don't need to pay to diminish my lung efficiency.

 

[KaZZaP]

I smoke all day every day, don't smoke cigs tho.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Never have smoked, never will I just don't see the point of it does it get you high or what?

Tell that to a 14 year old, kids that age simply can't comprehend things like that, the hardwiring to realise that isn't developed yet. That's why it saddens me so much to see her smoke.

To late I started when I was fourteen. I smoke 5 or 6 a day now I'm sixteen. I know I'll regret it later but if its supposed to happen and its a lesson I need to learn then oh well my fault.

 

[MassiveGeek]

I fail to see how that's a bad thing.
I don't care for it myself, but as long as nobody blows smoke in my face it doesn't matter if they smoke, to me.

Agreed. But sadly, people do smoke in my face, so I hate it.

 

[Valiance]

Yeah, I don't like the idea. People do it all the time, and I try to feel neutral towards it, but I honestly hate it, and I can tolerate it, but I really just don't like the scent. 80% of the kids at this college smoke though. I don't even know why.

 

[Littaly]

I've already been through chemo once, I can't say I'm longing for a second go -.-

I understand if people do it though ^^
