smokin!!

heh' bet you all thought this was about doing burnouts
:D
anyways, i just wanna know who smokes and why??
i myself dont smoke, i mean, why would you want to breath in smoke, and damage your lungs, etc.
it is also a good waste of money.:)
it is also a bit harder for me to like someone if they smoke, it puts me off them when i first meet someone and they pull out a ciggie and light up.
anyway, just my thoughts.......
:cool:

I couldn't agree more. Smoking is a disgusting habit that is bad for you and looks really gross to boot.

Not to mention the fact its not very good if you play sports and have an active lifestyle.

Say what you like about it - I hate it and thats my 0.02.:bandit:

I’ve never smoked and I never will. I hate the smell and can’t actually see the point in it. I’ve got much better things to spend my money on!!

Don't smoke--never have, never will. Disgusting and pointless habit. I don't care too much if a guy smokes, but I'm very turned off my female smokers.

I do:( And agree with everything everyone has said. But you guys dont understand addiction.

Hey man I know nicotine is addictive.....but I don't think it was a wise idea to start it in the first place.........

Have you tried patches and stuff? My Dad quit by going to some hypnotist guy.....that could work if you really want to quit.

nope, bad idea to start in the first place. but i wasn young (still am) and stupid (still am :D). The thing is....is weird as it may sound, i dont really WANT to quit.....ah...it guess its just the addiction talking through me right now....n/m

ciggie? I wouldn't smoke just because someone called it that. What a dorky word.

?
whats up your arse yogs?
:D :finger:

I wonder if there are truly people out there that hate cigarettes more than I do. I may have drunken myself into a stupor literally hundreds of times, tried many kinds of drugs, but I am proud to say that I have never once in my life smoked a cigarette.. and I hope that in 50 years I can still say the same. That of course says nothing about the hideuous amount of second hand smoke I am subjected to in the bars and clubs that I hang out in. Nothing as nice as leaving a place like that and having your hair and everything you wear wreaking of smoke. And don't even get me started on how I feel when I see a parent pushing their toddler around in a stroller with a cigarette in hand. That is just the worst.

Do the smokers realize that part of the assembly line of cigarette manufacturing is to douse the tobacco in ammonia, so that when you inhale cigarette smoke, it causes your lung tissue to expand (like your reaction when you get a good whiff of ammonia) to aid in nicotene absorption?

I'll punctuate the preceding message by saying that I FUCKING HATE CIGARETTES!!! :mad:

I did when I was in high school but stopped in University

My smoking career lasted 3 months. I started shortly after my dad died and my thinking wasnt clear. One of my best friends started hanging around a "bad crowd" and we both got into some things we shouldn't have. It started one nite we were out and I was depressed, so she said "lets go get some cloves" (the cigarette kind :p) so that was my first smoking experience...then I worked my way over to regular cigarettes. Ironic in a way since my father passed away from lung cancer, and here I am starting to light up :rolleyes: At the end of those 3 months we got away from that group of "friends" and I screwed my head on straight and realized I needed to get out of my self-absorbed pity party phase and get moving on with life and living again.

A year later I met Alex and we began dating. He was a smoker and for whatever odd reason I didn't have a problem with it. A little over a year ago he was climbing some steps at work and was out of breath when he got to the 2nd floor. He was only 22, going on 23 at the time and it hit him that if he was getting winded this young, what was it gonna be like 5, 10 or more years down the road. So for my birthday last year his present to me was quitting smoking...he even put a "patch" in my b-day card :) Now he's been smoke free since then and is so glad he did it.

As for the addiction,he can totally relate. He started smoking on n off at 13 and became a regular smoker at 16 and went on til my birthday last year (2 weeks short of his 23rd b-day). It was hard at first but what helped him with the physiological need (the act of putting something to his mouth) was cinnamon flavored toothpicks. He came off the patch after the first "phase"of it cuz he got a box of bad ones that wouldn't stick but by then he had made up his mind he really quit and never went back.

Myself, I don't smoke. I never have. I never will. It neither interests or intrigues me. However, I will go out on the porch to keep one of my close friends company while she enjoys a cigarette (usually functioning as a stress reliever). We've got it down to a system. Before she lights up, we determine the direction of the wind, and then we sit on the appropriate sides of the couch so that I come back without second-hand smoke saturated clothing. :) It works.

Well, for me, i actaulyl kind of enjoy it. I just dont like the bad parts of it. The smell doesn't bother me. I like the smell of Camels (mm....camel) and cloves. If only there was a harmless cigarette out there.

But ill quit as soon as i get a girlfriend that cares enough to make me quit. I lack the self control to do it myself.

I think they use Ginseng cigarettes in TV shows, for smoking characters. At least that's what Ted Danson said in a Becker blooper "Mhlemr...shit, I can't get it right, I think I'm getting high off this genseng cigarette..."

I'm not addicted, I don't want to be addicted. But I will admit to loving to smoke. It's quite relaxing, and since I'll only have like max 10 a year, it's a time where you can just sit down with the smoke and do nothing but think and stare into space. I MUCH prefer cigars though. Way way better IMO.

never smoked, and never will....absolutely hate it.......:devil: :devil: if I go out with friends who smoke...I always get sick the day after.......hate people who show no consideration for non smokers in restaurats etc.....:mad:

I don't like smoking. I don't smoke, and technically, I made my wife quit. She quit cold turkey, but then again, I was giving other things to do in the meantime. ;)

I don't care if you smoke, but have some fucking consideration! Yesterday I was doing my laundry in the laundromat at my apartment complex, and when I went to get my nice claen clothes out of the dryers, some dumb fuckmouth was in the room smoking. He's getting the shit smell of smoke all over my clean clothes. :angryfire

I agree, I hate it when people smoke in the stupidest places, like the entrance to a hospital or something where all the sick people have to walk through. Whenever I smoke (which isn't often), it's always with a friend that doesn't care or is having one himself, and on their back deck or something where we're alone and outside. Never bother other people with it.

People light up as soon as they finish their entree, etc. Surely that just spoils the taste of the meal you just ate???? Or maybe they don't have any taste buds left anyway which kind of defeats the object of going out to dinner surely? :confused:

Dont smoke and never have. Cant stand the smell.
Waste of money if you ask me....i would sooner waste it on other things.

stupid fuckin windows.....grrrr

Anyway, as I retype my post in ANGER AT WINDOWS!!!!!!!

I wanted to say, damnit i forgot, ill check back later.

<5 mins later>

ok now, i think that resturants should have smoking secions, onl y they should be completley seperate from the non sextions, i.e. a wall, or being on the top floor. Both having really good ventilation systems. So....damn, it's lost its fire :(

Trying to quit.

ditto

Don't put down smokers, you can put down the cigarettes... but people that smoke aren't any different than people that don't, just they have a smoke once in awhile

and they're just so relaxing....


btw, here you can't smoke in ANY public place!!!
that's why i was shocked when i went to europe last year and there were people just walkin around smokin in the mall, at the airport, etc. :eek:
ah the convenience :(

My smoking history: N/A and proud of it.

I can understand why people cant stop once they start but I can't see why they start in the first place.

Ive thought about this cause a few of my friends do and I cant seen any advantage in starting

look at my "sneaky smoking" thread and i explain how it happened..... basically the first smoke i had gave me a little bit of a buzz and extreme relaxation, so i'd have another one cause they were so relaxing. then a couple months later, i get addicted.... i'm not that bad, but i have 5+ smokes a day and after like the first few, no more buzz :(


they just developed so called "healthy" smokes.... they're already being sold. There's some new filter they develeloped and a new way of cleaning the tobacco, they are so much better for you than ordinary cigarettes. but i've never tried one, yet

i really dislike smoke...the smell is just gross...so as you can tell i am not a smoker and i will never be one...:)

well, i'm only 15, so i don't smoke. i suppose i'll smoke a cigar now and then (i have before). i suppose i'll smoke or take speed in college (or drink hella redbull/nitro) for tests.... i dunno. i used to be addicted to caffeine (pills and otherwise) for a while i was drinking a 24 pack of coke a day, until i contracted an ulcer. then i drank like, redbull and blueox and took 2 caffeine pills daily. that's about 1g of caffeine. 10g can kill you.

it was nuts. i'm off it now. i'm never tired like i was (crash from OD of caffeine, or fiend as my buds used to call it) and i'm happy now, when i used to be angry.

I can relate. I too have experienced the come-down from the caffeine high. It is absolutely staggering how drained it leaves you. And it's also amazing how quickly that come-down pulls the rug out from underneath you.

Now back to the subject: smokin'

Ah Red Bull, I recently had some (It's actaully an accomplishment cause they don't sell it in Canada!) So after my frined managed to get a few I got one, pretty good, but probably better in Numbers.

lol i've never had any caffiene except for what's in an occasional coffee and/or a couple cokes/pepsis a day...... crazy mofos, i've never felt anything from caffiene, never really considered it a drug :D

Is it like burning out after smokin a ton of chronic? Sometimes i burn out like madd, i can barely keep my eyes open so i just end up fallin asleep......

I smoke Cubans that my dad gets me for special occasions (HAHA, they're legal in Canada SUCKAS! :D )

cohibas and monte cristos are damn good :)

you have to watch out for cohibas though, since there are so many fake ones around. My dad gets the real ones from a special cigar shop
i think i like montecristos the best though

Over the summer I had my 1st cigarette, at the local night club, on the 13-17 yr old night. Most of the time when I go back, every 3-4 weeks, I have 1 more. I definatly can live without them though. Caffiene is much better anyway :D

caffiene doesn't do anything... to me atleast, doesn't relax, doesn't do anything

If I have enough caffiene I get fucked up on it, especially the caffiene pills my friend has. I had like 2 in the past 3 months. They get me going most of the time. Everyone begs her for them, but she gave up giving them out cuz she had to steal them from her sister. Soda only does it if I drink like 2 liters...which I have no problem doing in like an hour.

lol gettin a buzz off of caffiene... that is both ghetto and hilarious :D :D LOL

LoL. Those caffiene pills are fuckin great, lol. You should see my best friend when she takes one, LMAO. Another friend gave me one yesterday, but its upstairs in my room for now. I dont have anything to get hyper over at this time.

Ok people can back on topic if they'd like :D:p

damn caffiene hippies, over running my thread :)
i can honestly say that i dont get a buzz out of caffiene. (honest!)

When I tried the cigarette, it kinda calmed me, but not enough. I was probably to pissed off those nights to the point where it had no effect. lol.

LOL! you guys probably didn't inhale, hahahahah
if you had a full smoke, and breathed in all the smoke deep like air... guarenteed your first one you'd feel extremely relaxed, you'd feel somethin

Camarogirl: the more pissed you are the more relaxed you get with a smoke.... looks like another non-inhaler, all for show smoker, lol :)

:smoka: :smoka:

God I don't know how many times I tried to quit. I did once for three years. Then got married and wound up taking it up again like a jack a** Now some 20 years later it is so hard to stop and I have tried again and again.

Patches don't work, gum is marginally effective, injections don't work, and going cold turkey I am a real bast*rd to be around. Maybe one day I will kick it.

I figured it out, I would save over $5,000 a year!
