lol, how often are you bored and smoke a cigarette? if it's at least once a day, you're addicted. be careful man, that's actually how I started smoking once I quit the times before. I'm done for good now.

I broke both of my rules last night. I went to a keg party and got trashed...and I can faintly remember my brother pointing out at one time that I had a cigarette and was smoking it, but cigarettes are not part of my lifestyle and will never ever be again. It's not worth dying over.

personally i think you need to chill :p just my thoughts on it.. i think you're being overly harsh.. and not cuz i'm a smoker, you're just getting a lil to wound up that people smoke..

the part about lighting in your house, then bitching about it being cold outside i fully understand tho... anytime i go somewhere new, i ask if i need to step outside before even pulling out my pack... and if it's cold outside, well i either smoke really fast, or i just say fuck it, it's too damned cold outside..

i don't smoke becuase it's good for me, i know what it's doing to me, the problem is, i'm a 16 year smoker now... soemthing like a 14 year pack a day smoker... it's not so easy to just kick the habbit, and i have tried atleast 20 times... my longest quit was 3 months... then my wife got hit by a car and i was losing my mind... so i picked up a pack and haven't stopped since.... if i'm not mistaken (i'm bad with dates) this has been nearly a year now...

when i'm not going through a nic fit, i'll sit there and say "this is my last pack" low and behold, 20 mins later, i can't take it and i'm opening a new pack and insulting my own self for being so weak....

as far as addiction, side efffects and LONG term consequences go, i agree, tobacco is the worst of the worst.. not to mention it gives the user very little enjoyment... the first cig of the day, and the cig after a meal is about as high as the enjoyment gets, and that's very little...

now as far as short term consequences (namely instant death), danger and price go... there are worse things out there... but they atleast give the user some enjoyment... hard drugs only kill a small fraction that tobacco does, but the hard drugs do it instantly, while you won't pick up a cig and die 5 mins after smoking it.... kills by far more people, but it takes awhile. if cigs had instant death... well i can garuntee there'd be a whole shitload less users...

those are just my thoughts on the subject.

i smoke cigs too, i dont personally like em very much, and i smoke one a week tops, on average once a month.

im one of those people, that couldnt give a flying fuck about my health. i dont care when i die or from what. as long as i have my mind (as a poster before said) im happy.

Cigs (and other tobacco including blunt papers are gross). those things are NOT organic. they are poison. I was just wondering if most of y'all see the stupidness, and shittiness of tobacco. people that smoke the stuff hate it, peopl that smoke weed love it. hmmm. I live in the USA in the state that produces more tobacco than any other state. cig. smoking is just rampant here. so is dip chew, cigars, etc. etc. shit is cheap.

edit: it also has killed a bunha grandparents and great aunts/uncles who smoked before there were even warnings. some of them stopped when they were like 30 in the 1960's and they died of lung cncer in t5he 80's. any of you in high school or whatever who think it is cool to smoke i would advise you to put down the tobacco. you'd be a lot better off shooting heroin everyday... and i speak from experience. tobacco is the WORST thing to be addicted to. anyways. QUIT SMOKIN' CIGS KIDS

I also despise tobacco.

i like tobacco, but i smoke very rarely and am unusual in that i have absolutely zero addiction symptoms; when i do smoke tobacco it's usually good cigars, then pipes, and sometimes i'll buy a pack of american spirit cigs; overpriced, but there's no additives and i really think they taste much better that way; rather harsh; but a good "woody" type smoke

I don't know what you're talking about....smoking cigarettes is the coolest thing you can possibly do in high school.

Peer pressure :rolleyes:

Gaaah. A friend addicted to heroin went up to me and said this "Dude pimp's gotta be face huge".
And he started laughing and i sed WTF?!? When he started acting really weird i stopped being friends with him.
He stopped doin heroin and months later he was totally clean. He calls me up and apologizes for all the messed up things
he did while he was on heroin. And then he told me that that one time he was actually saying "Dude you got a huge pimple on ur face"

Fact of the matter is, heroin can screw with your brain and ruins peoples lives.
NOW, a bunch of my friends smoke cigs and the most fucked up thing ive heard any of the say ever was
"Dude i got herpece!" and it was true! My point is, my stories might not even be true ,but heroin is bad.

Tobacco is too. :thumbsup:
