What's your opinion about smoking, do you smoke?

[petran3]

Yes, it makes you look cool

No, it is bad for health

Yes, I am addicted to it

No, I don't find it worth

[lumos]

I hate it. Not only are you ruining your lungs but you're also forcing others around you to deal with it, people who don't want to breathe in the smoke or end up smelling like it. It's disgusting, smells bad, sticks to your hair and clothes, makes your breath stink and most importantly, kills your lungs. It kills your stamina, gives you breathing and coughing issues, irritates your throat and worst case scenario: gives you cancer.
There's absolutely no benefit to smoking, it's a waste of money. I refuse to date anyone who smokes.

[blondfrog]

Would you date someone who drank alcohol even if it was just "socially"?

[lumos]

@blondfrog yes, as long as they don't get shitfaced every time they do it. Kinda hard to find someone who doesn't drink at all. Smoking on the other hand doesn't seem as common anymore. My boyfriend drinks occasionally but doesn't smoke.

[blondfrog]

Seems like a pretty lame excuse to date someone who drinks but not someone who smokes.
That's cause of the lack of ignorance and double standard that comes with alcohol vs cigarettes. Alcohol is just as bad even if you only drink a little bit lets say just a year. Your liver can't absorb the littlest amount of ethanol alcohol, every time you drink your liver emulsifies the fat in your liver which is is extremely unhealthy. Not to mention the fact that it also damages your brain.

[lumos]

@blondfrog dude, I'm a teetotaler myself. I'm not fond of drinking by any means but I accept it more than I do smoking, since I don't have much of a choice. The majority of people drink, even if only occasionally for a special reason. At least with drinking you're not immediately harming anyone but yourself, unless you become drunk and, say, drive. But smoking is pretty immediate, being close to someone who smokes just one cigarette can still make your hair smell bad and inhaling the smoke they exhale is also bad for your lungs. Whereas being near someone who has a glass of wine or a beer won't really affect you, nor them.
I wouldn't be with someone who got completely shitfaced every weekend. I'm ok with the occasional drink, that's it. I'd have to search long and hard to not find someone who drinks *at all*, especially considering that I live in Finland and the people here sure do love alcohol.

[lumos]

to find someone who doesn't drink at all*

[alaysatlorp]

It's disgusting and I find it disgusting that I smoke and at the same time know how bad it is for me.

[petran3]

lol we all know its downsides but we still smoke.. personally I think life is too short to bother about whether smoking can harm you or not. Because it is still not 100% sure that it can damage you. Even if I say that I quit it when I am going to be out with my friends I would not say no to a ciggarete :P

[alaysatlorp]

I know I enjoy cigs and joints all the time but it's definitely bad for you both tobacco and weed (what I smoke) and kills you so we really do need to try to quit haha

[petran3]

I guess I will try to quit one day but not now :'( :/ :P

[Waffles731]

Paying a good chunk of money a month to kill yourself slowly and painfully while literally make you unable to go up a flight of stairs without getting winded.
Thats a fucking terrible idea

[jman46241]

I started smoking when I was 13, stopped when I turned 30 (temporarily) and have a smoke inbetween my fingers as I'm typing this..

[petran3]

damn man.. I started when I was 14 not a lot years passed :P I don't think I'm addicted to it but I like it especially when I am out and I see others smoke I don't know why though

[jman46241]

Probably the whole being kool thing.. I started because everybody around me smoked. My mom even bought them for me and my sister, no joke. Didn't really matter in the early 90's lol. Kmart and other places kept the cigarettes on displays in the front so all us bad kids would just steal them..

[blondfrog]

CVS did too in the 90's and they were supposedly a store for medicine and to help promote good health lol. They are all hypocrites

[jman46241]

@blondfrog Lol they still sell alcohol and spam. Omg would somebody give my answer a thumbs up already!

[blondfrog]

hahah yeah and chew don't forget that.

[jman46241]

@blondfrog The world needs to forget chew seriously..

[blondfrog]

I heard that stuff gets you more of a high than cigs though, but its esaier to give you cancer.

[jman46241]

@blondfrog Nahh no buzz, but if you swallow the juices it'll make you puke like your exercising a demon lol.

[Donanski]

I've been smoking since I was 12. It was dumb and it didn't start because I thought it would look cool. Both of my parents are smokers and I was just curious as to why they would be into something like that. I'm 19 now and still smoke, it's a massive waste of money but I wouldn't want to stop yet. When I get pregnant or have children I will definitely stop. But now is not the time. Too much stress to quit. It's the only thing keeping me sane right now.

[musicbrain5]

Ugh. No way, I don't smoke. It's such a gross habit and people who smoke are really gross. Have you ever seen a smoker's lungs and heart? I have... definitely something you can't unsee. That shit is even printed all over the packets but it doesn't seem to deter them.

[blondfrog]

Neither do alcohol labels do you have any idea how bad that is for you?

[musicbrain5]

@blondfrog Neither do things like junk food, fried food, e-cigarettes, most OTC medications like Tylenol or Aspirin... what's your point? Pretty much anything you put into your body can have harmful effects. The question was only about smoking in case you didn't notice!

[blondfrog]

There are different degrees of harmfulness and yes that sucks too.

[blondfrog]

Well its bad for you, but I am not gonna be one of those contradicting assholes who judges and shames others for smoking, but then he or herself drinks alcohol which is just as bad as smoking if not worse. I am aware that smoking is not easy to quit either my dad used to be a heavy smoker so if I loved the person I would still stay by them and try to help them to quit.

[SoFeckinAddicted]

No I don't smoke. I like my white teeth, my feminine voice and my healthy lungs.

[b260r]

Never it's a disgusting unhealthy and smelly habit. Would also be a deal breaker if a boyfriend started to smoke I'd be gone

[DodgersGM]

I hate cigarettes. Hate them.

Personally, I feel like people who smoke in crowded public spaces are selfish assholes.

[YaBaba]

Absolutely hate it

My dad smokes and now he is facing serious health problem

[petran3]

damn... hope he recovers soon

[CisScum]

My brother smokes, hate the smell and it sticks on your clothes. Considering I have asthma, I hate it.

[meatballs21]

The rush you get is not worth the health problems, smell and cost.

[PT1911]

Smoke a cigar on my birthday and on new years.

Otherwise no cis or anything else

[Waffles731]

unlike Cigarettes, Cigar Smokers generally only have a slightly increased risk of cancer.
For several reasons, A. Cigars are a special occasion like you pointed out.
B. They aren't meant to be inhaled
C. Cigar Smokers don't smoke Cigars daily, its a treat for them

[Table20]

I DONT SMOKE BECAUSE IT IS BAD FOR CARDIO AND IM AN ATHLETE

[Anonymous]

Nah, cigs taste horrible and don't do anything, just ruining your lungs and throat for no reason. Not worth it if they don't even get you high

[relaxrelax]

nice people
bad habit

[rgb008]

It is disgusting.
And I don't smoke.

[VirginiaBeachBum]

I will no longer associate with smokers.

[datgirl]

Bad for the health and lame. I do not smoke.

[babeeeone]

It's bad for you. I don't smoke.

[Likes2drive]

No and I can't stand it

[HotNerd]

I only smoke weed sometimes

[Anonymous]

No and I dislike smoking.
