How harmful is smoking?

[SeeMeTrollin]

If you carry on smoking it's just gonna do worse stuff to your body, you'd be best try to stop now while you still can.

I smoke a pack a day, I smell awful, I can't run any more because I get out of breath, when ever I get a cold, sore throat, or a little cough it hangs on twice as long. Quit while you're ahead.

Also; nicotine is a stimulant so it would totally make you more stressed... but if you're trying to lose weight they're a great idea.

Basically what it comes down to is, if you have to ask a gaming forum whether or not its ok to smoke cigarettes, you're doing it wrong

[EpicPhail]

asshole. they paid money for that, why would you knowing destroy it? Hows that any worse than stealing someones purse?

Smoking is pretty damn bad- if you turn it into a life habit. I've been smoking for about a year now, and i'llt ell you it snowballs.

Hey, you bored? Smoke a cigarette.
Hey, drinking? smoke a cigarette.
Hey, Driving? smoke a cigarette
hey, being social? smoke a cigarette.

They add up, and then it develops into a habit.

Quitting is physically easy. The hard part is knowing that you enjoy cigarettes and not wanting to quit.

But i do love my cigarettes. Nothing like cig and coffee.

MAybe they shouldn't smoke on the streets. Hell, if someone poked me with a ****ing knife I'd hit em'. Why can't he hit him for forcefully injecting his body with thousands of chemicals because of their bad habits ?

Damn that's a cool *** baby.

Look at Boom's sig, that is squidward after he started smoking. Catch my drift?

If you don't want to stand beside someone who is smoking you can always turn around 360° and walk away.

Is it me or I see turn around 360° often these days ? I hope that was a pun lol... Cause rotating 360° is the same as not turning at all :S ... exept it takes a bit moar time for us humans :S

If anyone is wondering, I'm currently under the side effects from a new brand of sleeping pills that my body doesn't seem to like, no flaming please "

Oh god I'm so ****ing dizzy T_T

[MarCn]

I hope I will never smoke >_>

smoking just isn't worth it, my brothers been smoking for probably 5 years now and he is constantly clearing his throat and coughing and when he clears his throat all the time i just wanna punch things it is so gross

and the smell, when you smoke you don't mind it but when you don't smoke you don't want to be anywhere near that stench, you don't want to be around secondhand smoke, you don't want that stink on your clothes and body

on top of that its real bad for your lungs so you cant run worth a crap or do exercise any good because your lung capacity is so bad

and the cost is just out of this world, i mean if i was a smoker i would be growing my own tobacco or something

i picked up smoking for probably a month when i was in my teens but dropped it cold turkey before i got "addicted" my stomach felt like crap and i was lightheaded when i was quitting and i kept wanting to go and get a cigarette but i didn't

and one more thing girls especially don't need to smoke its so bad for girls don't end up looking like Lindsay lohan please (hot to>wrinkly hag looking girl granted shes on some "other" stuff too but you get the point) k thx

when your a teenager your not thinking about the future much because you don't know how your life will turn out, and you pick up smoking because of "whatever" reason at the time, then your trapped those "quit smoking" gums and patches are expensive as hell and they don't even work for most people

i mean you could meet a nice girl get married have kids ect in your future you don't/wont know now, don't be some run down sickly dog because of a bad habit you picked up when you where 16/17 w/e

[xBlazex]

Those are people who have smoked for 60 years, like 20 packs a month.

that your future.

good pic above

but no one smokes after the line there but still shit up things there

[Sandman53]

I'ma be so real with you i'ma get in so much trouble for this post. but i dont see why im potentially saving your life.

You see here, i'm addicted to cigarettes. what the fucc is the point of smoking them if you're not addicted. you think you're cool smoking your one cigarette a week? No you won't be addicted by smoking 1 cigarette a week, people lied to you when they said you'd get addicted from your first stoge. it's all BS.

You won't even realize you're addicted until it's too late. I hate stupid *** people who "wanna smoke to relieve stress" well go for a fuccing walk. you dont know WHAT I'D GIVE to be in your position. "It's not an option to quit" god that pissed me off.

Go ahead and fucc up your lungs. You just sound SO stupid right now. 1 cigarette a week, what the fucc is the point? DO YOU FEEL KEWL? KEWL KID NAO? stfu.

there's literally NO BENEFIT. If you choose to continue smoking, i hope you get addicted fast. Just so you can see the struggle that smokers feel. The feeling of being broke, spitting a lot, bad breath, your clothes stink, all that. I've told so many people this in real life, and i just fuccing LAUGH when they get addicted just so i can say I TOLD YOU SO. it's ridiculous, why would you wanna start? When like almost every smoker tells you about how much they wish they could quit or never even started in the first place. I wish I had never started smoking cigarettes. Now look at me, addicted. It doesn't feel good douche bag.

You smoke one cigarette a week and your throat hurts already? WAHHHHH. alert the press, douche bag thinks they're cool. I got to the point where I had been smoking 2 paccs a day. you ain't impressing no one. No sht you're a first time smoker. Ask anyone in real life, they'd laugh and spit in your face and call you dumb after that. Probably take your pacc. You don't wanna get addicted, it's NOT fun. like right now after your thread I NEED A FCCIN CIGARETTE. i hate new smokers. just quit while you can, stupid.

LOL. I totally got a "keepin it real" vibe from reading that...

Good on you for not giving in to peer pressure from the poor sods that think drugs are cool.

And @ people arguing smoking vs weed. Both are bad. Weed alters your very perspective of reality which is bad in itself and addicting, the smoke causes cancer as well, and what you get on the street is filled with chemicals. I know a girl was a junkie of it in her teenage years and she spent several months in the psychiatric ward of the hospital, so yeah it absolutely has physical effects - but also psychological effects on some people. At least cigarettes don't alter your state of mind.

You conclude out of 1 person that weed has psychological effect... nice.
It is only proven to have psychological effect on people that already are very likely to get psychological problems. Also if she's a junkie, I think there are more problems than just the weed.

WU-TANG!

hahahaha, i haven't seen that in forever. i pwned OP. JUS KEEPIN' IT REAL

[Kanaju]

Er, guys? You can stop posting now. I get the point: smoking is bad. I stopped entirely, considering I'm not addicting or anything. Also, many of you are thinking I smoke because it's cool. I don't do things with shitty reasons like that. I realize now that it didn't help my stress at all, so yeah I wasted my time. I discussed it with my mother, and yes, she agreed that smoking was a big waste of time for me if it wasn't helping me get through daily life.

Though, aside from all that, I do appreciate some of the things many of you have posted, such as your own experience with smoking and what not. Thanks, and I appreciate to those who had actually written something useful and took the time out to contribute to this thread.

Closing words, thank you again, I'm going to get a mod to close this thread.
