People harp on the lung cancer, but what some of you may not know is that it is also linked to:
Cancers;Acute myeloid leukemia,Bladder and kidney, Cervical, Esophageal, Gastric, Laryngeal, Lung, Oral cavity and pharyngeal, Pancreatic
Pulmonary diseases; Acute (e.g., pneumonia), Chronic (e.g., COPD)
Cardiovascular diseases; Abdominal aortic aneurysm, Coronary heart disease, Cerebrovascular disease, Peripheral arterial disease
Reproductive effects; Reduced fertility in women, Poor pregnancy outcomes (e.g., low birth weight, preterm delivery) Infant mortality
Other: cataract, osteoporosis, periodontitis, poor surgical outcomes
- And this isn't just first hand smoke so if you think about it, saying that it feels good just makes you sound selfish.

might as well have a bit of enjoyment out of life.
i smoked little cigars. wild cherry cheyennes lol. nothing better than that. stopped smoking a couple days ago for these E cigarettes. i still crave the hot fire, but not as much. instead im getting pure nicotine without any additives like tar and its not half bad.
Yeah, but do you know how much second hand smoke you have to inhale to raise your chances of getting any of things? It's a lot more than people think. Fair enough you shouldn't smoke inside when you're living with someone who doesn't want the smoke, but other than that getting a whiff of smoke in the street is not gonna give you lung cancer.dkyros said:

Now I don't smoke,because well I'm not legally old enough.But I do know that something like 70% of my close relatives are HEAVY smoker.They're doing something like 1 and 1/2 to 2 packs a day.And most of them would call someone smokes half a pack a day a lightweight.And I think that they are right on that.Because 1/2 isn't really that much in terms of real addicts.case_orange said:
OT:I have no real interest in smoking myself.I did once try one cigarette and I din't like it.But I do love the smell of cigars and pipes.
And I have nothing against smokers.I hang around them everyday so it hardly bothers me.

Ive tried smoking once in my life, and never again will i try. I actually think that breathing in smoke from a bush fire would be better than cigs... Although i do sometimes crave for a cigar for some unknown reason, ive never even seen one in real life, but i still hate smoking.
shit son more power to ya, hate all those people who are like "CIGARETTES KILL!" and my retort... "cigarettes don't kill... cancer does"
and shit why does everyone have to regulation it for everyone else?... you knwo i'm probably ranting and have forgotten what the OT originally said... so yeah

I'd argue that anybody who enjoys cigarettes is addicted, simply because your body isn't very receptive to nicotine until you've smoked enough to get addicted. In other words, you could smoke a cigarette twice a week, but all you'd be doing is damaging your lungs and teeth.
That's akin to saying "the semi-truck didn't kill you, landing on the pavement twenty feet away did."rekabdarb said:
I was born with bad, malfunctioning lungs, so I am kinda disgusted with people who openly choose to destroy their healthy, normal functioning respiratory systems. Doesnt matter what you smoke or how you smoke it, it wasnt meant to get in you body that way and is self destructive.
Well my grandparents smoke all the time around me, ever since I was a baby so even if you breath it into my face I won't really care, I'm so use to it but I don't smoke myself
Gotta admire that dedicated denial man. I mean,most people keep up the 'im not addicted' line for a good couple of months, but after two years? Congratulations, you've given yourself a pointless substance dependancy that will be with you for the rest of your life,sapping your monies and health. Awesome job. In all seriousness though a fair few of my friends smoke and it really doesnt bother me, its just such a fucking pointless thing to do.
I smoke about half a pack a day as well I'm addicted. I could stop if I wanted but there is nothing better than a smoke and a coffee or beer. Even playing video games and smoking is really enjoyable. I like to smoke and do it not because addiction but enjoyment.
smoking is awesome! i only really do it when im drunk, its the government that have made us believe its bad, although it has brought alot of good
Fine, whatever - go ahead. Just have the courtesy to keep the fuck away from me when you do it.CrysisMcGee said:
In my opinion; smoking is like incest.
I don't approve of it, its unhealthy, disgusting, is never going to end well, and its fundamentaly wierd, but frankly, as long as you don't do it anywhere near me or my family, I don't care. By all means, fuck your sister/smoke.
