I don't.

My view:

It's a dumb stupid thing... we already have a limited time on earth... why speed it up?? it's so so dumb...

Good for you. :clap: Hope you have fun dishing out millions of dollars a year to feed your addiction.

well right now im watching the roman of mrs stone and yeah no i dont like it, ugh im sure thats why viv's voice is so awful. it's a fad of the past and that's what it should be left to be. were not chimneys.

Smoking kills! It was foolish of you to just start taking it up. Quit now before you get too addicted.

Just to be clear, who or what are you smoking?

I Hate Smoking. I have tried to get my Mom to quit for years. Personally i cant even look at a Cigarette without getting disgusted.

Never smoked anything my entire life and never will. I have better things to spend my money on and I think it just looks stupid.

I think it makes you look like a yellow smelly ass. JMO

Personally, I think smoking is discusting and it makes me want to puke when people around me are smoking. It's actually worse for the people who don't smoke but are breathing in all the crap that the people who ARE smoking are exhaling and personally....I think...nevermind.

Not a good thing. :(

As others have stated, it's expensive and makes you smell. Your skin turns yellow.

But most importantly, it's a killer. My mother died at the young age of 60 from Emphysema after years and years of smoking.

Please stop while you still can.

Of course you love smoking. Nicotine is THE most addictive drug in the world, even more than heroin. Time to develop a new habit
--one that doesn't take 5 minutes off your life every time you light up. The sooner you quit now, the easier it'll be to stay off.

I don't believe you. Nobody enjoys smoking when they first start!
I remember my first cigarette - I almost threw up!! I had to smoke an entire 10 deck before I even got used to the taste.
Smoking isn't a habit I would advise but I was a smoker for about 4 years so I'm in no position to tell someone not to do it. I just hope you didn't start smoking for some stupid reason like trying to impress a guy - that really would really be pathetic.

wow, i wonder why vivien leigh didnt die sooner, she smoked 5 packs a day...

It smells like **** first of all and second, it shortens your life....WHY?!

Smoking is the most disgusting thing anyone could ever do to their body! And, if you're doing it to impress some guy or to be accepted by a group of people, that is even worse. Smoking isn't worth your life. Quit while you still can, before you get addicted. Smoking can not only cause cancer, but can also cause blood clots. My grandfather who smoked got a blood clot in one of his legs and had to get it cut off and was in a wheelchair until he died when I was 3. Smoking isn't worth your life or your limbs. You're also not only putting yourself at risk when you smoke, but others, too. Say, someone who hangs with you who doesn't smoke is around you when you smoke. They can breathe in second hand smoke and that can cause cancer. That's one thing I don't understand about smoking and non smoking sections in restaurants. Even if the two sections are on different sides of the restaurant, the smoke can still go over to the non-smoking section. Take my advice. Quit smoking while you still can and if it was friends that introduced you to smoking, I suggest you should go find some new friends, or just be smart and don't participate in their lung-polluting activities.

Here's a link about blood clots caused by smoking. You should read it.

Dude, you can't tell me that you expected a positive response from us.... A lot of us are the "D.A.R.E" generation and on my part, D.A.R.E is drilled into me so.... I got nothing good to say to you about your new "habit" except for...... I hope you enjoy killing yourself slowly day by day.

It's a guy. His name is Brad. You'll probably remember him best as SoFl123. Yep, it's him.

Go ahead. Have another cancer stick. I cannot even look at my father anymore. He has the lungs of an 80 year old chain smoker. Disgusting.

Well....if you want to slowly kill yourself...enjoy.

Oh my gawd! I hate walking into the bathroom after someone has just been smoking in there... its so gross. The smell is in the air and you can see the ash marks on the toilet seats.... *shudders* Its so gross. If people keep smoking in the stalls the school is going to close the bathrooms so people cant pee AT ALL during the day.... ew.

Ugh, who would want to shorten their life and waste their money on that?

7th grade rec dance: Cops came because some 7th graders were smoking pot down in the gym.... where everyone was! The kids, the chaperones.... the DJ. It was so bad. The smoke was all over the gym and everyone, even those who weren't smoking, had watering blooshot eyes.... it was so bad.... and it was Febuary and the police made everyone go outside while they caught whoever was smoking, it was FREEZING!

Gawd, what morons would smoke in public with police there chaperoning the dance?

smoking=very bad.

just bout every1 i know smokes n lemme tell ya its gross. they smell..theyre killin themselves...etc etc...

its not gonna help u...and i mean...there r so much better things u cud spend $$ on..

So...are you like proud of yourself or something. This just gives me a lower opinion of you ya know. (Even though it was pretty low already SoFl123

My mother died a lingering painful death from lung cancer last year. She was only 67. Before she got sick, she weighed a healthy 135; but when she died, she weighed 88 pounds. She looked like a holocaust victim.
Her sister (my aunt) died 2 years before from emphysema.
My best friend's father had both his legs amputated because of clots caused by his 4 pack a day habit. He's lucky he's alive today.
All three of these people started smoking young and just couldn't quit.
Give yourself the best gift in the world and quit smoking.

Who would want to be proud of that:(
If you continue that you'll kill yourself as in having heart disiese

We're not saying that that is how you are going to die. We're just saying that by smoking you're speeding up the time till you die. I know a bunch of people that smoke/have smoke or did smoke... they're not dead yet either, and I know sh*tloads of people who have done some kind of "illegal" drug before.... but, calm down.... if it doesn't kill them it will ruin their chances of a normal life.

I can't stand being around people who are smoking. I was so glad when my mom quit after 40+ years. I hated seeing her ruin her health as well as mine and waste her money. That's one habit I'm glad I never picked up. When I see young people smoking I can't help but feel sorry for them because more than likely they will be doing it for a good majority of their life.

Ive been a smoker for years and finally this last year, antidepressants have helped me cut down to 1/4 - 1/2 pack a day. Eventually I hope to quit.

Let me give you some advice that is useful, please.

Until you are 19 yrs old, your body is still developing. Your internal organs are still developing. Smoking and drinking increases the risk of them maturing in a deformed way. If your heart/lungs (from smoking) or your kidneys (from drinking)
come to maturity with a defect of any kind, your lifespan could be shortened dramatically. Cancer and emphasima arent primary concerns at this age. They will eventually happen to anyone who smokes a great number of years, unless something kills them first, but any abnormalitys of your internal organs will be quite a bit more noticeable and immediate. You wont have to wait until you're 50 or 60 yrs old for them to happen, if they do.

The younger a person if when they take up smoking or drinking, the greater the risk of things like dramatically decreased lung capacity or even urinary incontinence. This is a rare one, but I have taken care of teenagers who severley damged their kidneys by drinking alcohol and become incontinent.

I have also taken care of a 17 yr old girl who suffered a stroke about 2 months after being in a drunk driving accident. It was a very upsetting situation. She got out of the hospital, she made it home and back to school, she thought she was going to be ok. :(
Out of the blue, she had a stroke while wealking down the stairs. She is one of the youngest people in the nursing home where she lives. Mentally, she is well alert, but cannot communicate, but with her eyes and sometime with a special computer. It's very traumatizing to see. :(

Please consider these instances if you smoke or drink. Good Luck.

Okay, I didn't read all of this topic. Frankly, I have no idea what the original person was smoking. If we're talking about cigarettes, it's a stupid choice to make. Oh, it might look so damn cool to be puffing on a cigarette- but it just isn't.

Do any of your parents smoke the cigarettes and save the little things on the top of the cigarettes in order to get a free carton? You have to save 90 of those in order to get a free carton. My dad was sending off for the free cartons because he had 180 of them saved. 180. I can guarantee that if my father doesn't die from a heart attack, he's gonna die of lung cancer. It's not going to be much of a surprise if he goes to the doctor and he finds out he has lung cancer.

You go ahead and smoke if you want. Let's see how cool it is when you get diagnosed with lung cancer.

so what. what do i gotta live for anyway.

What you have to live for is up to you.
You've got one life to do with as you please. It's not easy. Other people usually dont make it easy. We are all in the same boat. You can take charge and do something worthwhile, or sit around like a raw nerve, blaming other people for what you dont have. It's all up to you.

Smoking is gross. My sister smoked at one then she gave it up cause a doctor told her she would die at the age of 30.

i didnt start smoking for anyone, no one knows ive done it, but its really affecting my breathing and my heart so i think i might give it up.

Good idea. Smoking is suicide on the installment plan.

you want to know what i think of smoking?

my grandparents smoked and thats the reason they both died before i was twelve years old. one of heart disease and the other of lung cancer. I lived with them for quite a few years and they would still be alive now if it werent for their smoking. My grandfather had surgery where they treated the cancer- when he was coming home, he lit a cigarette before he had left the parking lot of the hospital. It relapsed (because of the cigarettes) and he died a month later. My grandmother had heart disease as a result of smoking since she was 14. She died a year later.
They were both only in their early 60s when they started getting sick. it was one of the most horrible things to watch and i dont understand how anyone could do that to themselves, especially nowadays that we know its effects.

They actually locked the bathrooms at the highschool. We had bathrooms in the 200, 400, and 500 halls. They kept the 200 and 400 bathrooms locked and they would unlock them for the bells. Most of the time they would forget to unlock them. One of the bathrooms on the 500 hall was locked and the other one on the 500 hall was open at all times. People would go in the open 500 bathroom to smoke.

I would always go to the bathroom during lunch. I would have to stand and wait for about 10 minutes before a stall would open up. I didn't bother eating lunch because lunch was only 30 minutes long. By the time I would get my lunch, it'd be time to go so why should I bother?. I'd go to the library to study or read and by the time I'd get to the library I'd only have about 15 minutes to study or read and then another bell would ring to go to class.

We have a lady who stands outside of one of the bathrooms....

Yes, they did that last year @ middle school.... cuz of vandalism. They had two bathrooms that were open all day long and then all the other bathroom were unlocked between periods and locked when the bell rang to get to class.

Hey, Brad. You got some feedback and we hope you do the right thing. BTW, what part of Florida do you live in and what would make you say something like "you have nothing to live for"?

You are obviously doing this for attention, you really probably don't smoke. Nobody who smokes acts like that and when they first start they don't love it. I've smoked a few times, IT'S NASTY ASS SMELLY! ugh....

smoking sucks. smokers suck. tobacco is wacko. just think twice before you lite up around anyone who doesn't smoke. especially consider little kids who have no choice.

Frankly I couldn't care less about you or your stupid careless attitude, but frankly, if you do your damn smoking around other people, you might as well just put a gun to their heads and shoot them. You'll end up killing them anyway.

That's what I wondered. You don't go around waving flags and screaming and then tell everyone to ignore you.

Oh, how could I have forgotten about that? We had a lady that stood outside the 500 hall bathroom. Still didn't discourage people from smoking. She'd just come in and spray a whole lot of air freshner in everybody's face and tell everybody to put down them cigarettes. She should've stood outside the bathroom stall and if she seen cigarette smoke coming out of the stall, she should've busted their asses right then and there. You can't catch people smoking if you do like that woman at my school.

Smokers should really have more respect. I'm out of school, but I can't tell you how many times I was late for class because I had to pee. When I have to pee, I don't care about being late for class. Some of the teachers wouldn't let you go to the bathroom if you were already in class. Some would give out detention in order to go to the bathroom. I was screwed either way. I'd either get detention for asking to to go the bathroom or get detention for being late.

If people want to smoke, don't clog up the bathroom while doing it. My school really should've built a smoking wall. You could go outside during lunch and smoke, smoke before school starts, smoke after school ends. The old R.E Lee High had that smoking wall because my dad spent more time at the smoking wall then he did in class.

Smoking is a nasty habit. I smoke and i regret ever starting thats why i cut back to a half a pack trust me quit while you can. When i wake up in the morning i can bearly breathe its no fun at all

I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest thread I've ever read. "I started smoking and it kicks ass! Yay!"

It's a dumb thing to start doing and it'll be hard as hell for you to quit. My dad smoked for 33 years. My mom smoked for 31. Thank God they both stopped.

Quit now. The earlier, the easier.

J/W Do you actully know that they have stopped smoking? Cause my parents were smokers for about 20 years and they managed to stop for awhile. But they couldn't get break the habit totally and they both started up again. But this just may be my parents though.

Don't do it!

I smoked for over ten years, it will lead to nothing good!

Quit. It was the smartest thing I ever did.

Yeah, they have. Surprised the hell out of me, too. I never thought they'd be able to quit, and if they did, my dad had to be first (which he was). My dad attributed it to them becoming born-again Christians (a road I didn't follow them down, but that's cool). My dad quit in May, 2000 and my mom followed suit in January, 2001.

Thanks for the informative, thoughtful post. That poor 17-year old...I hope she recovers. Strokes are terrible. My father suffered a massive one.
Good luck to you with kicking the habit too. Are you a nurse?

Smoking is the DUMBEST habit i'M SOOOO glad My dad quit I'M surpised hes has healthy as he is for smoking as long as he has He started smoking when he was a young boy during the second world war (yes hes that old.) and recently quit a year ago I'm sooo PROUD OF HIM though I wish he would have quit sooner but HEY atleast he quit

I was a nursing assistant until I hurt my back. I'm waiting to find out if I've been accepted to a respiratory therapy program.
I think a lot of people have no idea their internal organs arent done growing up just because their bodies are. If schools would take a more informative approach, I think a lot more young people (and older ones, too) would decide not to smoke. So many people think, "Oh, I'll probably just get cancer one day when I'm 70, but who cares because I'll be old." The saddest part is, since we don't really have a lot of say in how long we live, our unplanned for elderly years can be our hardest. Some of us will still be able to live at home and do things we like to do, but too many will suffer miserabley because of preventable diseases.
Too many folks live in a nursing home for 20 or even 30 years, immobile, incontenient, and in constant pain. I have no idea how their bodies can take it. :(

You haven't answered dlemond's question. Exactly what are you smoking? :confused:

I used to be a pothead. Sadly, I can't say it was very long ago. I gave it up in October of 2002, when I realized how empty it was making my life.

It didn't make me stupid, though; it made me hungry and giggly. And lazy. Pot seems harmless, but it slowly but surely starts to take control over you before you even notice it. My roommates are addicted, and it makes me sad to watch them throw their lives away. I was lucky enough to realize early on how harmful to your mind and body it is.

But, yeah, back to the original topic. Um, cigarettes are bad.
