I used to smoke, and yes we all know its a bad habit. but I only smoked 2-3 cigs a day. my roommate smokes less than that, and goes good chunks of time without buying any.

what people who don't smoke don't realize is that a certain percentage of people do not like tobacco. either it makes them sick, or doesn't give them a buzz at all. so the next time you bash smoking, just remember, often times its not the fact that you have some sort of great willpower or are so much smarter than other people. its that you do not enjoy cigarettes, its in your genes. if you enjoyed nicotine like I do, then perhaps your story would be different. for me, lighting up a cig after a hard day of classes just made the stress melt away.

also one more thing: anti-smoking ads. why do they have to lie so goddamn much? there are plenty of reasons smoking is bad, but apparently:

1. smoking will make you fat

2. smoking makes girls grow mustaches

3. smoking causes you to hock up huge nasty loogies

4. kids would rather eat a piece of shit than smoke a cigarette

5. cigarette companies make cigs with a "magical amount" of nicotine--just enough to get you hooked, not enough to kill you. this is the worst. obviously they aren't going to make a product that kills people. are you fucking kidding me? its the tobacco plant, people have smoked it for centuries, and yes it contains nicotine, an addictive substance but thats why people smoke for fuck sake.

so yeah I am glad I quit smoking but when I did smoke I got really tired of getting shit for it. I guess my point can be related to coffee. some people don't like it, and some are addicted. I love it, but I can go without it easily. do I think I am better than people that have to have that morning cup to function? nope, just wired differently.
 
Ok....dont really see the point to your rant but I don't smoke and I never plan on starting. Maybe its partly to the brainwashing of advertisements, but I think it's because almost every smoker I talk to wants to quit but can't. And if so many people want to quit it can't be that great. I think I'll stick to herb
 
Um smoking DOES makes big smelly loogies, ask my roomate and a buddy in my group, they smell horrible and they happen to smoke...so there is a correlation

 
ya just defend people killing themselves, real smart...people that "can't" quit are stupid, anyone can do anything people can fucking lift cars off of adreniline when someone is stuck under it for fucks sake. I wish I would live to see a smoke free society but people are to fucking stupid.
 
So you've pretty much said that everyone who doesnt smoke doesnt because they dont like it. Not True. Seems to me your trying to encourage people to smoke, sounds stupid if you ask me. And the adverts are backed up by thousands of scientists around the world, not proved wrong by one kid on the internet.
 
" obviously they aren't going to make a product that kills people. " you idiot... does cancer ring any bell ?
 
Obviously people that dont smoke dont like it.......

its pretty much common sense

Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, some people take the chance to enjoy the nicotine buzz they get just like how you take the chance of dying everytime you drink a redbull or take some common sedative to give you a certain buzz. I seriously dont understand how the fuck you think he is trying to encourage people to smoke right after he quit smoking himself.
 
that is like saying people who do heroin are stupid because they cant just quit

nicotine is addictive, like any other addictive drug. (gaaahviously). Your body needs it to function and cannot adjust to not having, its not as simple as just quitting. Otherwise, no one would smoke. retard
 
been 2 and half months since ive stopped smoking. i was smoking close to a pack a day sometimes more if i was drinking, and no, smoking will not make you fat. it causes you to lose weight because it suppresses your appetite.
 
No one ever said you have to quit cold-turky dumb dumb, and anyone can get over an addiction even if it take a little time.
 
i thought that most people said taht smoking makes you skinnier not fatter because it kind of craves your hunger for somthing to eat. ive never really heard people saying you get fat from smoking tobacco
 
what are you talking about? first people who do heroin are stupid. becaue they cant quit and because they do it.
second, people would still smoke even if they weren't addictive. i think this guy making a thread prooves that. i want to add a comma and retard just like you but im trying this new thing where im not a dick on ns
 
it causes cancer. it also has other side effects. i smoke tons of weed but still disagree that its much better to smoke than cigarettes
 
I disagree with #3. Smoking makes people have nasty phlegm coughing fits and it's disgusting.

and I have no idea what #5 is saying.
 
idk i just think weed affects you in ways you dont realize until youve been smoking along time. its hard to say, but i just disagree when people say weeds so much better for you. cuz it isnt. so yes i would say they are both bad for you. i also think weeds more addicting, at least to me. ive quit cigarettes a bunch and stay quit for like a semester and then decide to buy a pack and do so maybe every month or so. i can quit at will. but weed....bad news bears im straight up addicted to it say what you willl 'thats impossible' but it isnt. no way. i am
 
hah, i love that. And you can't compare coffee to nicotine. Nicotine is a chemical addiction, people who "think" their addicted to coffee have a mental addiction. Doctors have proven cigarettes to be harmful to your health and hailed coffee as helping your body produce more antioxidants to combat disease and sickness.
 
Weed is psychologically addictive. Cigarettes are physical and psychological. I smoked weed for 2 years and quit cold turkey for a month back in august then again in january. Obviously it's different for different people.
 
i usually end up smoking like a pack or two a month, if that really. yeah probably not even a pack a month. anyways, i don't inhale the smoke and just kinda like to smoke something every once and a while. i would never buy them and only get em if someone offers me them. idk it isn't that hard to just not smoke for me though?
 
smoking does make you cough up huge loogies, except they're black.

and smoking does kill you. Have you ever heard of lung cancer? howabout emphysima? *sp*

but umm, other then that you're pretty dead on
 
You wouldn't like nicotine if you hadn't have started smoking. Liking nicotine isn't in your genes.

And yes, i'm a smoker.
 
i smoked for about a year like a couple a day and the only thing i really miss is like having the cig like in my hand and that like drag feeling i dunno if it's the nicotine or what i just really miss it... and talking about it now doesn't make it any better...
 
i take that back, i hate being mean, but i also hate when people think its stupid that they cant quit. its not that easy. at all.
 
so yeah those black fuckin lungs and shit they show u in school are fake right. tobacco companies are making money dude, they arent looking out for your health
 
the add he is referring to is talking about pure nicotine... one drop of straight nicotine can kill you immediatley, but the amount in a cigarette is a lot less than that
 
"cigarette companies make cigs with a "magical amount" of nicotine--just enough to get you hooked, not enough to kill you. this is the worst. obviously they aren't going to make a product that kills people. are you fucking kidding me? its the tobacco plant, people have smoked it for centuries, and yes it contains nicotine, an addictive substance but thats why people smoke for fuck sake."

when you smoke a cigarette you aren't just smoking the tobacco plant. the cigarette companies had put in additives and chemicals. they also control the nicotine levels of the plant. it would be possible for them to lower nicotine levels, but that would mean that they wouldn't be as addictive. which would mean less people would smoke. which in turn equals less profit for them.

tobacco companies do make a product that kills people. face it. all you need to do is look at the numerous studies showing the levels of carcinogens (cancer causing substances) and poisons present in the smoke. there is no way that they can argue that their product isn't bad for you. what they can argue is that you smoke on your own free will and that you knowingly smoke a product that is bad for you.

Double fail. I'm not going to be mean or sarcastic because the only reason you say this is because your parents, the government, and your teachers have been lying to you. Better yet they were lied to by their parents and their parent's parents lied to them. So it's really not completely your fault your an ignorant asshole.
 
Fact: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose

minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke

contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users

typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time,

inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage

should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of

lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented

to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked

marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer.

Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no

obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will

not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.

it is proven that if either of your parents smoked before you were conceived/born that you are at a greater risk to smoke/chew simply because traces of nicotene are present in you from them. so no "liking nicotne" is not in your genes but nicotene is
 
dudes- you could be inhaling smoke from your campfire for all intents and purposes. its smoke going into your lungs. if you are still going to close your eyes to the undeniable fact that that is bad news, well, take another look at whos brainwashed. (hint- probably you)
