Smoking...who does

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Ok...I'm not ripping on anyone who smokes...if you want your breath to reek, clothes to smell, and teeth to stain then that's your deal.

 

I just don't see what people honestly get out of this whole thing...I've never smoked and never intend to. And you know the risks involved before hand...would you eat a certain kind of burger if it had a small chance of having penis in it? or drink something that had a small chance of giving herpies...and yet knowing the cancer risk involed people smoke.

 

I can't even see fit to date a girl that smokes.

 

Like I said...not ripping on smokers...just trying to see what you get out of this whole dea.

[Guest RetroRob215]

I can't even see fit to date a girl that smokes.

I feel the same way.

When you first begin smoking, you get a pretty wicked head buzz out of it.  This is due to a slight cut in the oxygen going to your brain.

 

This goes away, eventually.   However, by that point you are addicted to nicotine.

 

Why do I continue to smoke, even though I realize it will someday kill me?  Maybe because of that fact.   Perhaps because I am, by nature, wound up tighter than a coiled spring, and the act of smoking a cigarette, and spending the 7 or 8 minutes it takes is enough to keep me from exploding.

 

I also like to watch the smoke curl  in sunlight coming through venetian blinds in accordance to the Chaos Theory.

 

But mostly I am addicted to nicotine, and my body has this way of telling me I need to go buy cigarettes that my head can't argue with.

I couldn't have summed it up better. Besides, it makes you look cool

[Guest J*ingus]

I smoke so rarely that I always get the head rush when I do, so that's why.  Especially when combined with alcohol.

[Guest]

I quit smoking, I smoke one occationally with a beer but I don't think the nicotine is the issue.  I think it's force of habit because nicotine leaves your system in 48 hours.  Your hands and mouth are used to doing shit every so often, it's a tough "habit" to break.  I'll tell you what though, nothing beats a good newport every now and again

[Guest]

Yo I smoke. But they aint cigarettes.

[Guest]

well, unless your young and in high school and shit, weed is gay.  Sometimes people have to grow up.

It has a lot to do with physical dependancy, for one thing.  It's also incredibly relaxing and a good way to kill a few minutes in between things.  But, at this point, I really only smoke because it causes me tremendous pain not to.

[Guest ant_7000]

I use to smoke cigarettes and cigars, when I drink usually thats when I smoke, and every now and then I smoke some weed. When I started smoking when I was 16 and now im 21 and that shit was taking it toll on me, giving me chest pains and made me winded quickly whenever I played sports. I just quit smoking cigarettes/cigars and stop smoking weed a couple months ago it wasn't that hard for me, but I will continue to smoke weed every now and then because the shit relaxes me. I don't have a problem with other people that smokes because a lot of my friends smoke and some of females I know smoke I just tell them don't kiss me after you light up.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

That's pretty much it. I really don't see how people can smoke multiple packs a day. One pack is over kill for me, but that's just cause I do it so rarely.

 

It's a little like drinking. You know you're killing brain cells. You know you're fucking up your liver, but ya still do it.

Stress can also play a huge factor in it.

[Guest muzanisa]

I'd got down to smoking the odd one at weekends and had exams and moved house and am back up to 10 a day.

Stress is the key.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

Well I smoke a pack every two weeks or so, which isn't too bad at all, i can't even remember why i started. and of course I smoke weed.

--Rob

easy fella.  don't go judging.

[Guest]

no dude, I am right, if your a pothead over the age of 18, and your not rich, your easily a loser, thats just it.

[Guest dreamer420]

please explain how you figure that and you better have good reason.

[Guest]

ok because weed makes you feel burnt and dumb, trust me I know, I used to smoke in high school, ALOT.  Now "potheads" smoke all the time, thus the name, so they are always high or burnt, and always dumb, trust me I know, this is coming from a former pothead.  SO if you are over 18 and acually out in the real world supporting yourself and living your life, and you are still a pothead, your a fuckin loser dude.

 

--Rob

[Guest Some Guy]

I tend to agree with Rob on that one, but I'm not quite that extreme.

 

I smoke because I was a dipshit 13 year old in 8th grade and thought it was kewl.  Then I got hooked and now I smoke about a pack a day (Newports) and more when I drimk, which is about 3-4 times a week.

I'm a nervous person by nature and smoking helps to calm my nerves, but I smoke so fast (it takes me about a minute and 30 sec to smoke a BUTT) that it doesn't help as much as it used to.  But such is life.

 

EDIT: BTW it certainly does seem as though you are "ripping" on smokers in your post Youth n Asia.

[Guest]

word some guy, thats why i started smoking stoges.  How ignorant I was

i'm not sure what you were smoking but weed doesn't do that to me.  It doesn't burn me out and doesn't slow me down at all but it does do that to a lot of people.  You haven't really given any reasons why I'm a loser though.  I have a fulltime job, make decent money, have my own apartment, and own vehicle and somehow I am loser because I smoke pot.  Check your head dude because you are all fucked up.

[Guest]

ok well how about this, your a loser cause you smoke illegal substances.  You are a drug user plain and simple.  You ar a drugie and THATS WHY YOU ARE A LOSER.  How about that drugie?

 

--Rob

[Guest dreamer420]

rob stone thinks I'm a drugie!?  well I wish you could see how upset I am by those statements, dumbass. so is that your argument?

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

Rob, dreamer and i live in BC., Weed is barely concidered illegal here. EVERYONE smokes it. I know a number of intelligent people OVER 18 who smoke pot. Smoking pot doesn't make you an idiot, it just means you smoke pot. they're are dumb people who smoke pot and they're are dumb people who don't smoke pot.

[Guest dreamer420]

I live in BC too and I know that it isn't a big deal.  If the police stop you and you have a bag in your pocket, they'll take it from you and that is about it.  Same with bongs and stuff too.  Thanks CWM

[Guest ant_7000]

No, a drugie loser is someone who doesn't do nothing with themselves (work,school) but get high everyday. I smoke weed every now and then and I don't think of myself as a loser I've worked 3 years straight and go to school and manage to pay for my tutition. Rpb just because people smoke weed are dumb and losers, weed smokers have goals and ambitions too and can achieve them.

[Guest treble charged]

In my highschool (about 800 students), I'd say that about 70% have at least tried pot (I'm not in that number, myself).  I know some VERY smart people who do it (one guy's headed off to Harvard).

 

Also, I'd say someone who can't spell the word "are" properly is more of a loser than someone who smokes pot.

 

Now, if you're in to the harder stuff...

 

(BTW, my grandma died of lung cancer, so you will never catch me smoking cigarettes.  Besides, if I did, I think my family would disown me.)

[Guest]

dude, I am never going to win this arguement on a board predominatly filled with teenagers who smoke pot, it's like I am talking to myself.  Forget I said anything, your right, smoking weed is cool, there is nothing wrong with it, legalize it man, maybe i'll take it up as a hobby again so I can be cool also.

[Guest Thoth]

Personal morals have no meaning without actual real-life experience to reinforce them.

[Guest converge241]

im 26 and have never even tried a cigarette in my life, never even touched my lips. I just dont see the point, its expensive and no benefit ( yes some smokers will say it gives you a buzz or some other term, but thats just satisfying the addiction) health concerns et all. I have no problem with smokers and looking back have been around it so much through family/friends/girlfriends(for some reason i love a girl that smokes) that i may have some second hand smoke problems coming my way.

I do however smoke pot though, nothing heavy and never have or never will pay for it.

and yes i know Memory loss, theres tar in in like cigs and all
