Exactly. I'd rather be alive and uncool then cool and dying.
 
My grandpa on my mother's side started smoking at the age of 12, he stopped smokin when he was like 60, he is 80 something now... and he's in perfect health walking around like he needs to find something to do.

I know not everyone will have the same outcome.
 
yeah thats what some smokers say. they just so happen to have heard of someone who is a heavy smoker and is in perfectly good health at 93.
this gives them a ridiculous impression that they too will live a fantastic life untouched by the dangers of smoking.

SOME smokers anyway. others just dont give a shit about their own health and want us non smokers to stop bitching to them
 
I used to when I was out drinking, but the expense and the smell it left on my clothes was something shocking.

I quit and I found it easy.

And who might those people be? I don't see anybody saying they smoke because they know of a heavy smoker that's in good health, having been influenced by him/her, having the impression that they will be untouched from the dangers of smoking.

Face it, one has to be real ignorant to not know the dangers of smoking. People smoke for their own reason.
 
Honestly? If somebody smokes, fine, that's their choice. I don't see why, or what it's actually doing for them other than wasting their money, but whatever, their life to throw away. I'd kinda prefer it that the smoking minority didn't smoke in my face every time I went to a social event, too, so I'm not too bothered if they ban in for public places.

However, my family has been affected (not me personally) by smoking related defects in nearly 3 generations now. Anyone who smokes around a (unborn or not) child is ****ing sick, and is clearly incapable of looking after that child.
 
Recently I saw a nice chick in the same group as me at the driving theory lessons, but then saw she was somking during breaks and thought "shit, I'm not touching her".

Need I say if I smoke now?
 
Having a brother who smokes is always a good way to make you stop, or just never start...
 
U geekz, sm0king IZ kewl!

U get 2 blow sm0ke all ova ppl, n u can put on shadez n u can be kewl like da fonz :smoking:
 
If I thought I was capable of looking cool, I might smoke just for the effect. But I'm not, and I don't.
 
This is really harsh, but i think smoking is like Russian Roulette...smoke and die because of it, then in most cases i wont give a ****, because you shouldnt have started in the first place.

My grandad died of a heart attack a few years ago, (brought on by smoking) since he was about 9 hed smoke 30-60 a day. I was really upset when he died, but i know he was damn lucky to live that long in the first palce
 
Smoke occasionly, mainly with friends, socially.

I enjoy the odd cigar aswell... among 'other' things :p

They banned smoking in public places in Boston a few years ago, it's quite awesome. Make your own houses smell like ass.

In Ireland it's banned in all indoor places where people work, including taxis!
 
Soon to be a total ban here in Scotland too.

I remember being in Dublin a few months back, the difference is phenomonol. :D
 
Bah! Ireland is denying its true nature! A few pints and a pack of fags is the true sustenance of the Irishman, and denying him one or the other shall have fatal consequences in the long run!

Personally, I can't stay in a bar for long if they prohibit smoking. My beer and my cigarette go hand in hand. I also prefer the atmosphere it creates. That sort of noxious mist in the air that makes you feel like you're in some seedy pub.

Pft, my girlfriend and her family are all Irish (very Irish) and are all really glad about the ban. I can't wait until it comes in here :)
 
I smoke about 10 Lucky Strikes per day. Mostly in places where nobody's bothered about it.

clealry the nicotine level in Absinthes blood is low to the point of him being grumpy. i guess baby needs to go suck ash, or maybe mommy forgot to give him his juice.

you smell like shit to everyone around you. it rages me when i have to leave the break room at work when some fat cow who cant even sit down without gasping for breath sits next to me and just reeks of poison. they raise health insurance for everybody by dying in greater quantities than AIDS, drugs, car crashes and murders put together. they act all carefree and badass, then when someone tells them they are going to die a miserable death hacking up phelgm and coughing up their wrinkled, worthless lungs, they get all defensive like somehow WE'RE the problem. durr my body doesnt matter to me, i love the taste of cyanide and 347039827423 carcinogens in my blood stream. i cant wait until you are a wheelchair bound cripple, praying for death, who cant even take a dump without collapsing, all the awhile leeching off uncle sam dollars to stay alive, still sucking on that cigarette.

this post is very serious!!111

hahahahaha <3

oh and no, I dont smoke.... if I wanted to kill myself, i'd find a cheaper way to do it.
 
Smoking kills you and the innocent people around you.

Go jump in front of a train if you want to die.

And I can't bear people smoking in the same room as me. I have astma so please **** off.

That's what the beer gardens are for. People can smoke in any section of a pub that doesn't have a roof.
 
Dont smoke, but dont critisise people who do. Thats stupid and I hate those people. Treat people how you would like to be treated! :bounce:
 
Haha use to, marlboro lights but quited coz someone told me :)
But you guys who says that smoking is shit, I agree, will never understand why I even did it myself.. :hmph:
 
seriously if the govt wanted smokers to quit, theyde wipe them off the shelves. none of this 'smoking kills' on the front of the packets.. like that gonna make them give up.
