smoking huh
its not my job to say others what to do, but in my opinion its terrible cause that way you destroy yourself, the people around you(maybe even people you love), you spend a huge amount of money for nothing and again its a nonsense if you wanna throw away money for nothing buy yourself trading card games and play them around xd

Smoking..that's one thing that I despise..although my girlfriend smokes...
I have been drinking and partying from when I was at the age of 16, and between that time and now 90% of my friends started smoking, but I never did, 'cause I just don't get it.

As someone already said it's just harming/destroying yourself and paying money for it at the same time. And what do you cost for it? Nothing. All and all it's the stupidest thing I know. But I won't judge people, done many stupid things myself. Still smoking I can't stand or understand 'cause it's so obvious how stupid and pointless it is.

One more thing, if a smoker says it relieves stress, he/she says it just because it's an excuse for that you can't quit so you have to make something good out of it. And btw ofcourse it relieves stress aka makes you feel good, 'cause you're addicted to it so it's a natural reaction.

The myth that you can`t quit smoking is absolutely ridiculous,I started smoking again because it also takes away boredom.
And yes,I and other smokers don`t deny that is the reason why we get Euphoric,but who cares?

I didn't mean you can't quit, I meant that the smoker believes he/she can't quit, so he tries to make something good out of it.

I don't believe you started smoking again because it takes away your boredom. My guess is, it's just your old habit plus it boosts your self esteem so it's easier to get get caught in it again. And on top of that there must've been a part of you that was still addicted to it.

Not trying to judge though or be a psychologist, just creating a discussion about this like you wanted. 'Cause really there are much cheaper and not health threatening ways to kill boredom.

Well, I don't smoke, but I also don't have problems with people who does. But like said before, those 13 year old kids who start smoking just because it looks cool... I can't stand that...

The most I hate is that 15-16 year olds start smoking and drinking because the feel that they are under "stress" and they need something to relieve it. I mean I have no idea how's a working man's life hence I'm still in high school, but I bet it's hard and when these "stressed" kids grow up in that world, they won't survive because that's x10 the stress as they feel now.

It does take away the boredom, though in some cases it indeed goes hand in hand with the habit. For example, I like to smoke when I'm at my PC, simply because I'm busy with something while I'm busy with something else.

Ok - i was bored so i read all 8 pages of this thread and i agree with practically all of Nocturnal's debates.

I started smoking because of the whole "Image" thing way back in school. All the Rugby guys did it so i jumped onto the band wagon as well... I’m not saying it was the right move to do - in fact - i would advice all no-smokers to not follow suit.

Yet - i have no regrets about starting to smoke. I've been smoking for over 12 years now (sigs and other) and to me there's nothing as good as chilling with friends after a loooong weeks work with a beer in the one hand and either a sig or a joint in the other.

There are soooo many things that are bad for you and can lead to cancer or some other ailment, which most of us use every day, so why should i give a damn if I’m going to get cancer from smoking as well...
At least its something I enjoy – that is after all way we are all put on this earth – to enjoy every day like it’s your last (IMO).

I've had a couple of brand over the years:
Marlboro Reds
Camel Filter
Camel Lights
Peter Stuyvesant: Blue
Marlboro Menthols
And recently Marlboro Blue Ice.

I dont drink, and dont do drugs either, but im always thinking that smoking will be an addicion for me, so I dont want to become addicted to this, so thats why I dont smoke.. In all my life i have smoked about three to four times(and just one cigarett in each of those times) so im pretty happy about that. No offense, but in my opinion drugs, alchohol, and smoking is stupid and unhealthy.. Alot of people just do it to seem cool or manly when deep inside they dont like it one bit, because lets face it, alchohol tastes pretty nasty

Smoking isn't a big deal to me; it's really their life so they can choose to do whatever they want with it. I think the only problem I'd ever have with smokers/smoking, is if they don't have the decency to go somewhere else... I've had people stand there and light up a cigarette with children around and blowing it in my face :|

I wouldn't date one either, since the smell kind of just... clings to them.
