there's no benefits, it's all detriments.

calms the nerves, helps short term memory, prevents alzheimers, meet people, tell the world you don't give a damn, etc.

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.

Bah. The nicotine in cigarettes hardly negates the bad. In fact it's not the nicotine that helps prevent Alzheimer's, but nornicotine, a by-product of nicotine. They are working on concentrated pills so that nicotine intake can be skipped altogether. For now, if you want to use nicotine to help prevent Alzheimer's, but the patch. Smoking cases vascular health problems, along with many other problems that certainly will kill you before you develop Alzheimer's.

I smoke but desire to quit. I didn't start because it looked cool. I just happened to try the first one at a time (age 21) when life wasn't going so good and it became a crutch. Cigarettes are some addictive fvckers and quitting is a b!tch. Yes I know it says right there on the pack. I really don't think anyone wants to smoke. Even the ones that say they enjoy it and it is their right. I hate the way it smells, the decreased energy (still run 5 miles/day though), and the fact that I will probably die from a smoke related illness. On the plus side for you I'm respectful of others and won't smoke in public places. I really hate walking out the doors of a building and smelling the smoke because people are to lazy to walk farther away.

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.

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.

I've only smoked a cigarette once in my life, but back in H.S. I remember smoking weed quite often on the weekends if that counts ;) I don't smoke anything anymore though, it's just stupid.

I don't smoke, but I like the smell of second hand smoke. With all the no-smoking zones everywhere these days (in the US at least), I'm not terribly concerned about dangerous amounts of 2nd hand exposure. The poor air quality where I live (from autos/ manufacturing) is a much higher health risk.

One of my smoker friends is a lifelong pyro and likes having fire (well embers at least) between his fingers. That, and he's entirely comfortable with the prospect of a premature death. What's so great about living to be 60, 70, or 80 anyway?

Holier than thou non-smokers are annoying even to other non-smokers. The 'faking a cough' routine is getting old...

used to smoke a lot, almost a pack everyday. I quit over the summer of '03. It was tough, but you just have to forget about it. A lot of softball, work, and spending time with the girlfriend did a lot to help. I smoke once in a while now, only during times of stress.

I think it is 7 minutes for each cig. I have a feeling you will feel differently in another ten years. Even more so if you smoke menthols like me.

I quit smoking but self-righteous pricks like make me want to light one up just out of spite. Mind your own business and go suck on some exhaust fumes in rush hour traffic while you're at it.
