POLL: do you smoke? if so, why?

[AEnigmaWI]

Smoking is fun.. I used to smoke. My roomate smokes.. Menthols taste good..

I don't smoke anymore. Why? Oh, I guess it has something to do with actually having lived through a nasty health problem and realizing there are many different levels of being "alive." Plus the fact that dying from cancer or emphysema is not so much fun.

I read something that said certain people were genetically more resistant to the carcinogens in cigarette smoke. My grandfather died from throat/tongue/lung cancer (yes, it is gross). My great uncle had lung cancer... Let's see.. either I should buy some lotto tickets and smoke, or start saving and pass on the cigs..

Smoking is smoking.. people are gonna do it if they want. It's part of going to bars etc. that people will be smoking. If you don't like it, go to a non-smoking bar..

Just a comment for ya peeps who don't care and say don't tell me what the fvck to do. I'm not telling you to do anything, I'm just saying wow does it suck when your health fails you. It's possibly the worst thing in the world. You lose control of your life, and you have to spend $$ and time in hospitals and doctor's offices.. you can't do the stuff you used to.. It may come as a surprise that maybe you don't want to die just yet.

Ya can't buy good health. It's one of those things you don't miss until it goes away.. and if it comes back, I guarantee you'll appreciate it more.

Can anybody else smell smokers travelling in cars in front of you on the highway? Someone can be puffing away with the window cracked, and I can smell them several cars back, even when my windows are closed & @ 80mph. Smelly stuff.


Smoking is nasty. You might as well walk around w/ sh!t in your pants, IMO, you don't smell much better. I certainly don't like smelling it when I go out to eat. Take your lazy addicted asses outside and to smoke. The fresh air is good for you.

Oh god, you have to be kidding me, right? You're worried more about smelling smoke (which I highly f'n doubt you can smell on a freeway at 80mph) then smelling exhaust or fumes? I've never met bigger whiners in my whole life.

This man said it better than anyone else.

Tobacco was originally used for medical purposes, but it became addictive and everyone wanted the effects.

I smoke because I enjoy the feeling of the smoke through my lungs, because I can take deeper breathes of smoke than I ever could of air, because I hate people, and because of what ElFenix said.

you hate ppl so your damaging your own body.
makes sense.

I hate people like you that try to tell me what to do. What do you care if I am damaging my body? I just gave you many other reasons why I smoked, because I hate people is just one of them.

And since you want to be a cockhole about it, I'll go smoke one just for you, an unfiltered lucky strike. Mmmm I can feel the tar in my lungs now.

bwahahah, u just smoked away another year of your life

Oh yeah? so if I smoke 20 of these fvckers right now, I'm dying in 20 less years?
So if I smoke a pack a day for the next week, I'll be dead?
Get your sh!t straight, douchebag.

Remember, just 20 years ago smoking was common place, everyone did it. Even today, 1/3 of the working class in Britain are regular smokers.

if it means the british shall die, on with smoking!
