Oh dear a load of people preaching about the dangers of smoking cigarettes. I think he and everyone else who has smoked before knows that cigarettes can cause cancer and are bad for you. He wasn't asking that, he was worried because his throat hurts. Here is an answer for you-
The first few times you smoke your throat will hurt, it drys it out. I am a smoker and have been for a few years. Although my throat rarely hurts after a cig, occaisionally it will. Don't worry you'l be fine, have a glass of water.
Smoking won't bother your heart condition in the short term, and it obviously hasn't affected your asthma.
I find it funny how everyone jumps straight on the bandwagon and writes 'smokings disgusting!' or 'don't smoke its stupid'. Its no more stupid than getting drunk, and there are a lot more disgusting things out there. I think you are generalising smokers by saying its disgusting - my teeth are pearly white, my breath smells of mint as i chew after a cig, and my clothes smell fresh.
Anyway fuck the lot of you, its my choice, i know the dangers (my granddad died of smoking related cancer in october) and the fact is i want to smoke for the meantime.
Anyway, i might get run over by a truck tommorow.
Well rant over, im off for a cigarette.
