Social smoking

I dont know why I started smoking cigarettes, but I know that I wish I had not started smoking them, because that shit is EXPENSIVE!!!

Making tobacco illegal would not decrease the number of people smoking it. Potheads should know better than that. If tobacco were illegal, it would just shift the whole industry to the black market, the prison population would explode from half the population being caught with illegal cigarettes, and teenagers would have an even easier time getting their hands on them (drug dealers don't ID...).

Smoking tobacco is a personal decision. I've never done it myself, but if other people feel like giving themselves cancer it's none of my business. If you decide to continue smoking and don't make any efforts to quit, you have no right to complain about how horrible it is, or to insist that nobody should be allowed to do what you're doing.

I don't think smoking tobacco is very intelligent or safe. I do think smoking tobacco is deadly and disgusting.

I smoked on and off in high school because my friends did. There was never any peer pressure, I just wanted to try it because everyone else seemed to enjoy it. I'll still have one every once in a while. Seeing how addicted my friends are is enough motivation for me to keep it to just once in a while.

The old threads are the best ;)

Hate to say this but in certain situations its a very pleasent group activity. Relaxing around a cafe, shooting the breeze, and smoking all go hand in hand
