Do you smoke?

If so, what is your reason(Or why you started) and why?

If no, Why not?

I personally enjoy smoking, no real reason why.

[font=Tahoma]nope, though it does relieve some stress.
i do not smoke because i dont want bad breath, yellow teeth, and i do want to live with CLEAN lungs. :]
other reasons is that i replace that with my addiction to soda. (=.=)
[size=10]smoking is badd. D:[/h][/font]

No why because I've already choked on too much and smoking is just gonna be another hobby clogging up my windpipe.

There are two reasons I don't smoke.

One, my family would kill me. I am the only member of my family that doesn't smoke. And being the "good son," so to speak (which is really weird, since I'm not that good), it's pretty much forbidden for me to smoke. I wouldn't get grounded or anything, as if my parents could even do that anymore, but I would get the, "We're not angry, we're disappointed" shit, and there's nothing I want less than a guilt trip or to disappoint my family like that.

Two, I am a cheap (and poor) bastard. Hand to God, money is the main reason I do not smoke. If I had money to spend buying cigarettes, I could save up for a couple of weeks and buy a video game, or a DVD, or something useful.

If I could get unlimited free cigarettes, and my family wouldn't mind (or know), I would smoke. I think it'd be a good look for me. Smoking makes everyone look cooler. Seriously. Just look at this kid:

nope, although i used to smoke pot (and still do whenever someone offers me a joint)
why? i guess it was the cool thing to do back then.


about the stress relieve

in the long run it creates more stress than it relieves due to addiction and especially withdrawal, i.e. you will relieve the stress it creates you.

my only addiction is my computer (and related stuff, like porn, internet et al)

Lawl.

Yes, smoking had any side effects and it does give you bad teeth and dirty your lungs. But, many people smoke despite this because life can get pretty damn stressful.

I still smoke because I like the relaxation and the taste. I lied in my OP, I do have a reason.

I smoke cigars on occasion, just because they are fun... And I do love the way smoke interacts in air...

But never tried a cigarette, so can't really say I don't like it... Don't really like the smell tho, if for no other reason I don't smoke much/at all because the smell sticks on you too well.

Nothing against those who do tho, unlike some people I know. Hah, to everyone his own unless I have a problem with it :wink:

Reason: Lung Cancer, and other disease that comes with it.

Personal reason: I once had Pneumonia....some trauma like feeling, that I'll get cancer sooner than anybody else.

heheh smoking huh ? now thts nostalgic i remember debating with my friends in work for days about this topic, honestly and personally i myself am not a smoker and will never will, reason is the price for the smokes and the price of a single volume of a manga here are the same so might as well go for the manga , even though is cheaper then the manga still the manga comes not the smoke and bcuz i ma health conscious person and i don't want to die by something as stupid and pitiful as a lung cancer cooked up by long term smoking, don't u all feel that is funny when a smoking patient is diagnosed with a lung cancer is begging u to cure him, while all this while people who have advice and even some lucky ones where the love ones actually throw in effort and time just to make them stop smoking but they dun even give a single care about it ? while u as the doctor is giving the same advice but he listen to every single one of it ?

I mean talk about cliche....

an early lesson good job old man -_- good thing u didnt like it or else things will go otherwise.... a dangerous way to teach a lesson kids at 5 inhaling a cigarette smoke can get asthma at a very high rate cuz of young and developing lungs are not much a defense against smokes.....

I don't smoke because it's too expensive. Depending on where you live in the U.S. cigarettes can cost $3/pack to $6/pack. Another reason I don't smoke is I hear my mother "bark" when she coughs. Hearing that sound alone is enough to keep someone from smoking. The third and final reason is the fact that the average American idiot vilifies smokers and smoking in general. Plus, government officials *LOVE* to raise taxes on cigarettes.

Those are the reason The penguin does not smoke.

I don't smoke because I don't want to die and because I used to have asthma until a few years ago. Also, smoking is an expensive habit. I just can't see myself paying those outrageous prices every single week.

I really don't care if other people smoke or not. As long as thye don't blow their smoke into my face, then I got no problems with it.

I'll lump major reasons why most people don't smoke:

1. Money issues
2. Health issues
3. Image issues

and my personal favorite,
4. People issues - I don't need to smoke, so why should you? Drugs are for wimps.

So...I guess I'm the only other smoker around here?

I've been smoking since I was 13, and I've stopped a couple of times for a little while, but mostly because I moved somewhere and had to or something.
I'm probably addicted but I haven't stopped in a while to test wether or not I am, because I don't really want to. I like smoking, really.
Although it can get expensive, at least I live in Virginia. Relatively cheap around here, which is good, because I am a poor person.
I've had Pneumonia twice, and one of those times it was double pneumonia, although it was when I was a kid and didn't smoke. I don't really see why that would lead to a fear of cancer.
I do, however have a history of heart desease and cancer in my family, which could lead me to be paranoid, but I'm not too worried about it.
Cigarettes have been shown to be helpfull for some things too; I have some pretty bad lower GI problems, something cigarettes can help. They also can help prevent certain nuerological disorders.

But I'm not going to be the kind of dick who says they are good for you, just saying they aren't all bad.

i do smoke too. since 14.
started because of a girlfriend, who have teached me 8B

back then it was cool to smoke, you know?
especially when ppl asked "and do your parents know?" and i answered "yes, why not? i pay for them with my money anyway" and ppl would "Wooooow *-*"

Nowadays, i feel ashamed everytime i light one up. even my mother stopped smoking, and now i have to go outside my house to smoke.
It has became an extremely annoying habit to me. No one smokes around me anymore, and i just can't quit it.

Part is because of the addiction, but it's not only that. The real problem is that i really LIKE that shit =_=
I don't know, makes me feel like a bad guy รจ_e
/jk/

i just like the taste and the feeling it gives me. But someday i'll quit smoking.

Well I used too, but sometimes when I get really stressed, that urge comes. I started in my first year a college because of all the stress with work, school, social, etc. No one else I hung out with smoked at the time, my friends all know that, so they didn't look down on me thinking I only started to look cool to others or under peer influence. However, after about a year I quit, and like I said that urge comes back, but I've kept it at bay for now.

Lol, one of my neighbors let me try it when I was 6. I hated cigarettes until I tried it again when I was 16. Then figured out I was just smoking wrong.

My entire family is a smoking family and I like the smell, taste and feel so I just keep smoking.

As long as you don't get completely attatched(a pack a day) I'm pretty sure it won't kill you THAT fast.
