i am currently in the process of quitting.. its kind of a bitch to be honest but i want to do it while im still young and able too.....

Ya, but in reality that's about 1500 cigs, no one smokes every little bit, tons excapes, so that's like 2 months of a pack a day.
hahha nobody wants to try. It would be cool I GUESS..
oh, well i used to smoke 1-2 packs a day, so i know how much of a bitch it can be. to be able to smoke 1 or 2 cigs a day, and get sick of them, is a blessing for me, since i've endured years and years of second hand smoke.Quote:

i want to put a joint in that machine than inhale on the other end.
Exactly what I was thinking when I first saw the video
In a human body, your lungs and tissues that come in contact with the smoke catch the tar directly. Remember, that cigarette tar in the video was filtered through water, then the water simply cooked off in a pan like any sort of simple reduction.
In the body, you take in the tar directly through your own filter, the bronchi and alveoli. So it's not like any water reduction/evaporation even needs to occur. What's occurring in the human body is more harmful, actually, because far more than tars are getting directly into the lungs and bloodstream. That inhalation/water filtration mechanism was fairly crude in the video and not meant to capture or demonstrate the full measure of what comes out of cigarettes. The lungs and their tiny air sacs filter everything they inhale at a mini-microscopic level, so they don't miss a bit of the carcinogenic nastiness that comes out of cigarettes.
whooptie-fuckin-do man. very scary. you totally converted me. >_> seriously tho, i couldent care less. i smoke 1-2 packs a day. i know im gonna die. i know they have tar. yes, they kill. do i care? not at all. i smoke because i want to. if this converts even one person from smoking, congratulations, but not me.
lol, well some people don't like to suffer.
Well I think some people care if they get killed or not. But my motiveto posting this video wasnt to "convert" people to quitting. IT was just to show what Cigs can do. Remember bud has alot more tar then cigs.
I smoke alot more bud then cigs.
Yep, some people, fortunately, are intelligent enough that they can actually be educated and persuaded from doing things that can cause painful, nasty cancer deaths or lung diseases.
The thing men really need to worry about with cigarettes a lot sooner than lung cancer is erectile dysfunction. Cigs are the number 1 cause of that embarrassing little problem, and it often persuades guys to try stopping a lot sooner than the idea of cancer or emphysema far out in the future.
Woah are you serious? Can smoking Cigs cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Yep, definitely. Cardiologists (who deal with vascular issues) and urologists (who deal with bladders, urethras and related organs) have to prescribe more Viagra than anyone else to smokers because those are the docs they seek first when the problem begins, often as early as in the mid-20s for men who smoke heavily. Smoking cigarettes is dangerously irritating and drying to blood vessels and their fill-release mechanisms, plus it elevates blood pressure. Erections depend on flexible blood vessels, the ability of the vasculature in the penis to relax so it can fill and the little back-flow prevention valves to close off correctly, and on normal or, ideally, low blood pressure so the hydraulics can work successfully.
Cigarettes are erection-killers. Some strains of cannabis can actually have the opposite effect, particularly in young men, and that's because it has some vaso-dilating properties, at least after the active compounds have kicked in. Sadly, though, long-term heavy cannabis smoking can be just as detrimental to erectile function in the long run because, especially with age, it aggravates vascular brittleness and the chemical byproducts of combustion can cause vascular irritation and hypertension. It's not great to smoke anything over the long term if you want good erectile quality. Eaten or vaped cannabis is a much safer route to good "bone quality."
Iâ??m sorry but I think yall are very wrong to be referring to people who smoke cigs as unintelligent. Most hardcore smokers started when they were young most of them teenagers. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INTELLIGENCE!! After a very short period of time it becomes an ADDICTION. My momma always said donâ??t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. If you have never seen anyone try to quit smoking or have never been addicted your self then you have no business calling anyone unintelligent. I appreciate this being posted though maybe some of these young people will see and it will persuade them to never start smoking.
You're quite correct, LAJgirl. It isn't exclusively a matter of intelligence. It is indeed a matter of addiction, and I shouldn't have taken that dig. I fully confess that I was aiming that answer at one of our posters above who was so obnoxious in his defense of his choice to continue smoking that I questioned his intellect.
It might be worth mentioning here that in studies, a direct correlation does exist between education and cigarette smoking. People with higher levels of education are much more likely to be non-smokers or to actively pursue smoking cessation of some type than those with lower levels of education. That's because they have more information about its dangers. Addiction is addiction, it's true. But you're never going to persuade me that, on some level, intelligence, at least that gained through education as opposed to intrinsic intelligence, doesn't play a role.
Thank you birdgirl for your honest reply. Yes I agree lack of education on the matter does play and important roll. There should be more done my more suitable people to educate or young children on these matters. A cop or some other authority figure like that does not have the influence they believe on a child. A strong minded child, regardless of how intelligent will start a habit like that just because the "authority " figure told them not to. I think it should be approached differently. Now I donâ??t have the answers for this but I believe it is something that should be looked into by parents, teachers and so forth. We cannot deny human nature, the desire in a child and even a lot of adults to go against what is thought of, as right and normal is too strong for some of them to resist.
I wasnt calling them unintelligent. I was a chain smoker for 3 years then quit. Well sorta ill smoke Cigs occasionally.
Many smokers are very intelligent, I just wish some would get rid of the nasty cigs. Stick to all natural Herb.
I agree, LAJGirl! It should definitely be approached differently.
That's an interesting point you made about how a strong-minded child will make that decision to smoke just to go against an authority figure. I was precisely that type of child, myself (I loved to sneak cigarettes when I was a teenager simply because everyone thought it was so appalling.)
Pardon the slight detour from our original thread topic here. I've been reading some interesting information recently in school about how a similar sort of conditioning happens in the making of compulsive overeaters, another type of addiction, only to food. The tendency to become overeaters as opposed to normal eaters who eat when they're hungry and stop when they've had enough is conditioning/programming that happens very early in kids--before the age of 3. When parents do a lot of food-limiting and taking away of food from toddlers in hopes that they won't get too much or eat the wrong things (sometimes it's simply a matter of trying to limit what parent deem "bad" foods like sweets), kids, who are these naturally smart, intuitive, wonderful creatures, learn that food is more powerful or magical than it really is. That leads them to want more of it, and, later, to want to hoard it and/or overeat it. It's the denial of food that sets in mind that programming that tells kids food is magical and needs to be eaten in greater quantities since, as they've already seen, it might be denied them. Parents who let their toddlers eat what they want and don't limit or deny foods let them learn to be normal eaters. It's not quite the same thing as the sort of "rebellion" motivation that leads some kids to be smokers or risk-takers of other types, but I still find it interesting.
Sorry for the detour--and again, before that, the slam at intelligence. Cigarette addiction is a serious habit. I once heard an addiction doctor say it's as powerful and hard-to-break a physical habit as heroin addiction, and I believe him.
Thank you. When I smoke a cigarette, I'll remember this video. Hopefully it'll garner me the strength to finally break this devil habit.
Really I shouldn't be smoking, but I have no idea how to break it, every attempt I made to quit ended up in failure. It's the one thing I'm ashamed about, I went through hell with cancer, yet I'm still smoking cigarettes. I'm a real dumbass.
Eh I smoke bout a pack a day, and that video hasnt changed much really, I knew full out what I was getting into when I started, But as for the intelligence factor? I would say this has nothing to do whether or not your intelligent ( I know Doctors, Scientists, Shrinks, who all smoked after knowing the facts, ( I worked at a medical center for some months and met all these people who later became my cig break buddies :P ) Im not that scared of cancer either, I figure just breathing in the air now and days will prob cause cancer, not to mention sunlight, foods, ect (of course cigs just speed it up, but who wants to live forever? :P
You are FAR from a dumbass, love. You're one of the smartest people I know. I think quitting is a matter of simply continuing to try until you get it right. Anyone who can get through what you've already been through in your young life is capable of anything he sets his mind to. Plus you love fitness, which will help when you make the nicotine break. I think those gums and patches can be very helpful. I'm a lot more wary of those new prescription anti-smoking pills, Chantix. Some of those side-effects are scary!Quote:

I might not be able to run a marathon but I can dance with the lady all night long.
Have a good one!:jointsmile:
You're a lucky man to be doing that dancing. Maybe you're one of the lucky few who has some genetic resistance to cancer. In Bird's family, her mom and grandpa were/are the same way as far as cancer resistance goes. Grandpa lived to be 93 after a long life with various types of tobacco. He had emphysema at the end, though, and her mom, who smoked for 27 years, still developed chronic pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure even 20 years after quitting. They haven't had cancer, but they're sure not winning any pulmonary health contests.
I've not known anyone yet that it hasn't caught up with in some miserably unpleasant way or another. I know how that goes, though. I had a patient tell me, "Well, doc, if I gave up all the things that made it possible to live to be 100, my life really wouldn't be worth living that long."
Yes it is all very interesting. I find it amazing that our minds and bodies are so easy manipulated, by our own self as well as outside influences. Sometimes we donâ??t even realize what the influences are.
A doctor once told a good friend of mine that he would much rather her smoke weed than cigs. Babies born to mother who smoke can come into this world already addicted just like with any other drug.
I guess that just goes to show that food just like anything else that our body or mind finds enjoyable or comforting in any way can be addictive.
It is such a coincidence that you picked that topic because I was once addicted to food. I think mine steamed from that fact that growing up we were poor. Momma always made sure we had food but it was usually what was on sale that week. Eating sweet treats and things such as that were actually rare treats. Ass I got older and had more money and all I found myself many time eating when I wasnâ??t hungry a) because it was there and b) it in a way made me feel privileged. A few months ago because of my weight and bad eating habits I discovered I was a type 2 diabetic. Needless to say my experiences since then have given me a whole new attitude towards food. The first months of my dieting I tortured my self. Denying myself any food that was eaten just for the simple pleasure and good taste of it. Now this was really hard for one reason because I love to cook and love to experiment, but that very love was what urged me to do more research and actually learn how to diet and eat healthy with out depriving your self. NOTICE: EVERYONE A DIET THAT FORCES YOU TO TOTALY DEPRIVE YOUR SELF OF ANYTHING IS NOT A HEALTY DIET AND WILL NOT BE SUCESSFULL FOR YOU!! I have since learned that the secret to succeeding at weight loss is portion control. Once you learn that and the fact that you can eat healthy and still occasionally indulge in your favorite treats its all up hill form there. Now Iâ??m not saying it is a cure all, because as with any addiction it is 95% a mind thing. I still on occasion have to stop myself form munching just because Iâ??m bored or depressed. I have stayed true though and have so far lost almost 60 lbs. But to get back to my point addiction is like I say 95% a mental thing, even though some addictions do have physical affects. Even those can be considered a mind thing because all feeling and emotions are felt due to reactions in the brain. Humans are very strong and very resilient when we believe in our selves and donâ??t give up. BUT if we could all learn to totally control our minds instead of minds controlling us wouldnâ??t this be an amazing world.
honestly when i watch those videos all i can think about is just how amazing it is that the body can put up with so much abuse. i have never been a heavy smoker hardly smoke at all now, but i have smoked way way way moe than four hundred/twenty packs of cigarettes, and there are people who have smoked hundreds of times what i have. just the fact that you can still breath at all after that is amazing.
