Poll: Ye olde Cancer Sticks

[Nvv]

I smoke occasionally, usually when I'm having a bad day/week etc.
I don't really care about the health danger, my lungs are already faulty and I cough all the time anyway. The chance of cancer do worry me sometimes, but I feel I don't smoke enough to really cause any damage.

 

[Rorschach II]

Yeah i smoke a bit on and off. i prefer cigars but smoke cigarettes when they are available. It does annoy me how preachy people are about it and i am COMPLETELY aware of how bad it is for me.

so yeah people like that annoy me smack that little kid right in the face

 

[Mr Shrike]

I tried cigarettes once and they were vile.

...and weed's not that great, either. From what I've heard.

>_>
<_<

 

[Chewster]

Not ciggies. I do however, smoke tobacco in a pipe and the occasional Cuban cigar, amongst other things, though I've more or less given up the illicit substances as of late.

 

[literallyanythingelse]

My housemate is actually one of these 'hacky-coughy "cheers for that, mate"' dickheads so I took up smoking just so I wouldn't have to talk to him.

 

[Tsaba]

Dude, I don't smoke, my father does, and I have yet to develop health related issues, that second hand smoke is a bunch of B/S.

 

[Flamezdudes]

I don't smoke but I don't hate people who do, however it can put me off sometimes. Like, if a girl smokes I probably would be put off...

 

[R4ptur3]

No I don't smoke but if you want to it's your choice, but i don't really like the smell of it. I drink beer sometimes though and that's almost just as bad, yet it's seems ok to do that for some strange reason.

 

[Debirufisshu]

i find that most people who smoke on their first time are generally DOING IT WRONG. you only get the nicotine rush after you breathe in again after taking a drag, and after that, you dont mind the taste, and even come to love it as i have.

OT: Personally I'm to young to smoke and I doubt I will start at the legal age to smoke. I think if I were going to smoke at any time in my life it would be in the middle of my life or when I'm older than that, of course there is no way of telling for sure.

 

[TheLiham]

Well, I'm kind of an asshole that way. But then, I guess at that moment you felt like a repressed minority or something.

If you guys are keeping like Vern, then that's all I can ask for. The one thing I beg of smokers (which I assume you guys already do) is to stamp out their butts if they're thrown on the ground. You'd think that would be easy, but most of the smokers I've known have been high school kids who don't respect anybody anyway, so they never bother.

I'm a high school kid and I never do that.

but I agree most people my age do.

because they're all assholes!

Commercial cigarettes are the second most disgusting form of tobacco after "dip".

Please, people... smoke a pipe, or roll your own, or on the outside smoke a cigarello. Cigarettes give tobacco a worse name than it deserves.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I don't care if people smoke. Hell, if you want to shoot up heroine, that's fine with me as long as you do it at your house. As for smoking, I think its usually fine in public if it is either:

1) In an area where people would frequently smoke
2) In an open area/outside where the smoke won't be confined

As for me, I just don't do any of it.

 

[Demongeneral109]

I have a serious problem with smoking, but only if it's being done in close proximity to me. The smallest amount of secondhand smoke will instantly give me a huge headache and a stomachache, and it ruins my day. Smoking is gross. Don't do it in public.

Same, if someone smokes in close proximity to me I start a coughing fit, not mocking them, Its like a gag reflex... I don't blame anyone, but please don't smoke in public...

 

[Parallel Streaks]

I'm sick of the "You know, that's bad for you" speech. Yes, I'm fully aware it's bad for me, you might see it written in big letters RIGHT ON THE FUCKING PACK. I smoke for stress-relief mainly, college IS stressful, it seems like every night I have around 5 pieces of coursework that need urgently doing.

I personally ask before I smoke, if I'm in the company of non-smokers, and I only really smoke indoors when I'm at home. I put all of my stubs into a designated cigarette bin, or I put it in my pack until I come across one.

 

[Gudrests]

What non-smokers don't understand is that smokers are TOTALLY AWARE of how unhealthy it is for them, and don't really want to hear it every single day. That's part of why they do it in the first place. Smokers need to understand that the reason non-smokers will pick on them is because everyone else has to smell it, taste it and breathe it in even hours later, so it's not even a personal choice... it's being forced on everybody.

and you would be suprised how far away someone can be and still catch a breath of the smoke...and to be honest comming from someone who never smokes...it really...really...SUCKS. as in for some people will make there them feel uncomfortable for an hour or more....but yeah thats kids an ass blow smoke in his face

Funniest thing I've ever seen:

There was a woman on the sidewalk downtown passing out anti-smoking pamphlets and whatnot and she was standing beside her official anti-smoking, diesel-powered truck while doing it. Now here's the fun part. The truck was running. Just sitting there, idling, while she was passing out literature and there she was, standing near the exhaust telling us not to smoke. I guess the fact that diesel particulates will kill you a hell of a lot faster than cigarettes never occurred to her.

As for me, I know it's bad for me, and that's why I do it. I've seen what happens to the people in my family when they reach a ripe, old age. No way in hell am I going through that. Absolutely no way. I started when I was 24, and so help me, if I'm not dead before I'm 70 or 75 at the most, please shoot me.

 

[Jedoro]

I only care if a smoker blows that shit in my face. There's a reason I don't have a cigarette in my damn mouth, and it's not so you know to fill my breathing space with poison.
