CIGARETTE COMPANIES MUST DIE!!!!!!!

[andylawcc]

urrrrr.... coz I am dying to/not to smoke!!

seriously, I have an extreme urge to smoke recently;
back in the High School day I can resist it easily, it stinks, costly (in a long term), unhealthy, just about everything,
but now, in college, I just wanna do it....
these 4 days have been very very frustrating, I so wanted to smoke, but fear that I could not quit..... I had 2 dream about me smoking too, holy hell, that's really really psychotic.....

 

[mcbiff]

Don't do it man, you know you'll regret it later on.

 

[Azraele]

everytime you want to smoke picture this: dying in a hospital bed in your home (the hospital has sent you home because it's hopeless) pumped full of drugs that do no good, and in serious pain. It's how my grandfather went.

[KidViciou$]

[bigbootydaddy]

brb gonna get a cig

 

[andylawcc]

thx people, and not that I am not respecting your opinions, but I want to hear from some smokers...

 

[StageLeft]

andy Are you frigging serious? You are actually rationally trying to decide if smoking is a good idea? Are you out of your goddamned head?!

 

[andylawcc]

i never said smoking is a good idea.
and no human is rational all their lives, there are choices and free will.

 

[yakko]

andylawcc,

Just chop off a finger every time you light up and you will see the stupidity behind it.

 

[StageLeft]

And with free will some people make irational choices

 

[andylawcc]

being irrational is exactly what I am doing now... and I have no problem with it...


okay,

I know its bad, really really bad,
but its soooo frustrating that i want to smoke now,

Look I am a smoker. I have been a smoker for 7 years.

If you haven't yet started don't. I know how tempting it is especially in college. When you feel out of place at a party it is really easy to just pick up a cig and start puffing. Also, you can alway bs with the other smokers. But it is not worth it!! I can't even begin to tell you how addictive they are. Some of my friends have managed to just smoke socially but they are an exception to the rule. If you really want to smoke buy a good cigar and don't inhale.

Edit: Also, why do you feel the need to smoke, it's as if you are already addicted. If you want to try it. You won't like it the first few times but soon it will become your bitch goddess.

 

[andylawcc]

thx azazyel......

 

[Futuramatic]

What is so appealing to you andy? The coughing, burn holes in you clothes, bad smell, yellow teeth, or the addictive cancerous chemicals? Or maybe you just wanna be cool.

 

[andylawcc]

Futuramatic:

its just sometimes in life I just want to do something wrong and get a knock myself in the head...

I can understand that. Go curse at a cop in the face then, or walk around naked in public - these things won't stick with you forever. Or get so sh*tfaced you can't remember it and vomit and get people to take pictures and laugh at you - anything but something so permanent as this

I hate to sound like a mother, I just can't understand you though!

Andylawcc. Although I am not a smoker, I had to live with my grandfather who was one, I say was because we lost on Feb, 14, 1999.

It was shortly before Christmas, and he was not feeling well. I finally convinced him to go to the hospital and they took a look at him. Said that he had gastro interitis (stomach flue). Well, I cam ehome on xmas eve and then went back over to his house on the day after xmas. My whole family was there and Papaw (that's what we called him) still was throwing up. Now he was telling us that right before he would get sick, his head hurt. My dad just about lost it, he knew the signs of what was about to happen. Once again, we found ourselves in the hospital ER, this time Papaw was sent to have a CAT scan.

We got the results that afternoon, it was lung cancer, and it had migrated to his brain. There was no cure, and no hope of recovery. Doctors said that they could traet him with Chemo, but the treatment was worse than the disease, so he forwent the treatment. He spent the next month and a half in a hospital bed that was sent to his house. He had to have nurses help him do even the most basic things, urinate, clean himself after sitting, etc.

Every weekend I wiould go over there and see this man who I had grown up with, taught me life lessons, and loved me no matter what slowly die. Even at 84 years old, he still managed to do for himself, until the disease just beat him down. When I was over there, I had to plaace the O2 tube in his nose so he could breathe.

He smoked since he was 10 years old, and it killed him.

Now my other grand father is in the same boat, just not with cancer, but with severely damaged lungs. He cannot even stand up long enough by himself to shave or take a shower.

So please, if not for yourself, for your future, and present family, don't smoke. Don't put them through the paind and emotional stress of watching you go through something like that. It hurts way too much, knowing that someone you love is suffering and dying, and there is not a D@MN thing you can do about it, and then at the same time, being angry because they did it to themself.


PLEASE DON'T SMOKE

 

[andylawcc]

its alrite, you spit it out and keep it real, i appreciate it.

 

[StageLeft]

While we're on the case of loved ones I lost a grandfather to lung cancer and my older brother smokes now for some reason...I anticipate out-living him by more than our difference in years.

 

[andylawcc]

ha, I am quite gloomy on life, I can die now and don't give a crap. I don't expect to live long and retire with a lovely wife in a big house upon the lake and with great kids who visit me every weekend, that's just utopia.

 

[StageLeft]

Hey I was there a couple years ago too - you'd be amazed how quickly things can turn around. I am 22 and infinitely thankful that I never began smoking and other things like that. You will be too.

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

I'm a smoker, and I wish I never did...that's all.

 

[Warpo]

If you really want to, do it.
