Smoking?

First time I've tried instantly hated it, just foul-tasting, health crushing smoke, dunno what's so special about it but a lot of people seem to enjoy it and become addicted to it.
1.How can you live with yourself?(well,more like how do you feel about smoking)
The worst wording of a question really. I gave up smoking several months ago but picked it up for the couple of weeks I had my final exams - I got a 2:1 BTW and now have a Masters Degree in Pharmacy (found out yesterday - still on high). I've now stopped again with much more ease than before. It's ADDICTIVE. People know it is bad for them, but the effects of the addiction make the smoking so much better. It makes a person relaxed when they are up tight and brings them back to a place they like. It also makes you feel better when you start, hence why people begin.
I hate it when non smokers lecture and ***** and whine about second hand smoke and cough when they even see a cigarette. It's pathetic. But it made me laugh every time it happened because it reminded me of the South Park episode. I was conscious to never smoke around children and never breathe smoke onto people and I held my cigarettes away from people unless they were smoking too, but with the no smoking laws in England, that had minimal impact on me anyway. I also never smoked inside after my first year because of the rank lingering smell. But I could live with myself very easily, thanks. Typically the anti smokers were obese too, so I always found that pretty funny.
2.How did you feel the first time you tried? (I tried it once,thank god it made me sick and I'm never touching the stuff)
The first time I tried I was about 13. I thought I was cool, but we had to hide from our parents so we really weren't. Also, I didn't pick it up from that. But I didn't suffer after the first toke.
3.Ever tried a cigar?What's so special about it?
Yes. I can't smoke them. I'm too used to cigarettes I always try to inhale, end up throwing up most of the time, which was fun when I had my daughter. It's some twisted tradition to make the man have a cigar. I've never gagged so much over one week. It's just reputation that makes them special. It brings you ever so little closer to being like the super-rich, who like the fat cats in political cartoons, always seem to have cigars on the go.

1. I enjoy it, theres something nice about having a fag on a nice day with birds all around etc etc. The bad effects dont bother me too much, who wants to live to 100 anyway? Plus alot of my family smoked for a long time and had no bad effects from it. Its blown out of proportion a bit by the media I think. I smoke about 5 a day now. Im 16.
2. In year 6 I was at a festival and me and my mate went round finding half smoked cigerette butts. It wasnt good and I didn't like the taste although there was definately something enjoyable about it.
3. Its not just an image thing, its a different kind of smoke. You dont breathe it into your lungs like fags you just keep the smoke in your mouth. Some people just prefer it.

1: I was a smoker for about 10 years (wanted to have kids so quit)
2: Everyone hates it the first time they try it, it hurts your throat and you stink!
3: Cigars are like the purest kind of smoke, I went to the Dominican Republic on holiday and
tried a cigar, I tell you nothing beats sitting with a glass of rum & a cigar watching the
sun set!

What the hell is that supposed to mean!!! it sounds like your blaming us for all of lifes problems!!!!!!! Just because you don't like smoking don't preach!PurpleSky said:
1. I smoke and i love it! say what you want about it but i enjoy it!
2. First time i tried a ciggy i only went light headed, didn't make me feel sick or hurt my throat (think i was about 12)
3. Cigars are like heaven! only smoke them on celebratory days like birthdays and shit.
Sure, but unless you're out living in the middle of nowhere, you're constantly breathing in toxic fumes. If you're living in the city, it's quite possible that you're doing so right now.Miumaru said:
The act of smoking does not provide a positive effect, but smokers not doing anything positive? Carefully phrase your wordings, my friend. Transportation can also be provided through trains or bicycles. Cars, with their exhaust fumes and statistical tendency to kill people dead are unnecessary on their own as well.
That last argument makes absolutely no sense at all. People don't have 'more money to spend'. They have the same amount of money, just less choice to spend it on. An institution that would have less money if smoking were to stop, would be the government. And trust me that the government would find another way to get that money.
Perhaps a tax on videogames. AFterall, when you're playing videogames, you are not contributing to society.
even though im not a smoker (yet who knows?) i must say that first question makes you come off as prick 
1. Easily. (I don't.)
2. Never tried before. Never intend to.
3. Nope. Though I accidentally inhaled a friends smoke when he blew out his cigar smoke. Choked for a few seconds.

Surgeon General, WHO, cancer research organisations, and even the tobacco companies themselves agree that second hand smoke is harmful.

I'm an ex-smoker but anyway:PurpleSky said:
1. Smoking always made me paranoid about my health, that's why I quit.
2. I was so sick I just lay on the floor and couldn't move for about 20 minutes.
3. A cigar is f***ing awesome, its like a porterhouse stake seasoned with cocaine served on the chest of a super model. But they will kill you in double time so I stopped smoking them too
1. I don't smoke.
2. However I did try it once, it was awful.
3. Nope never have, I've no interest in smoking anyway, so hence will never try a cigar.

1) Its your body mate, do whatever you want, but its bad for you. Also: chicks that smoke=do NOT want
2)When i nicked my uncles half burnt stub from the ashtray and attempted to inhale, i got a very epic telling off
3)Now cigars are different. Cigars=sophistication(to me it does), like fine suits and good scotch. My first cigar i had(so far) was at a remote beach somewhere out west, with fantails fluttering around me. I felt like celebrating that day and yeah, it was awesome. (it tasted like coffee and chocolate and somethingelse i cant put my finger on)
