Agreed. And I have no clue what it is showing in the picture, so it has no effect on 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.

Thank you. There are very few non smokers with this point of view.

You sir, win the prize.

is smoking cloves better or worse than regular cigarettes? google comes up with mixed results, but nothing that looks official...
 
I smoke, tried to quit many times without success. Thinking about quitting again real soon, packs just went up another dollar in Canada, they are now almost $11 a pack

Way worse.

Regular. Menthol. Cloves, they go in that order from best to worst.

Well you'd figure that the big blob labled "Ca" in the black spot labeled 'lung" would be Cancer.
 
I smoke cloves but becasue they last so long I usually take a few puffs and store it away thus one clove lasts me for around 3 days.

I smoke becasue boy is it a great short-term stress reliever. The effects of weed and other drugs last too long.
 
i smoke because i am addicted. it does relieve stress, goes great with beer, etc. but i wouldnt start now, because i like it only because i started.

mmmm im bout to do that...but after u lite a cigg putting it out for another time is kinda nasty unless its for only a quickie.


and cloves arent WAY worse for you...its worse because they burn twice/3x as long...they probably take about 10-20minutes to smoke one. while ciggs are a couple of minutes.


know what i mean!?

yum yum clove...

what kind do you smoke man?
 
people who smoke make me mad now after i had a lung operation (collapsed lungs). i walked out of the hospital after a week of pain, breathing in raggedy breaths that hurt, and i see people outside smoking and killing their lungs for no reason. it just pissed me off. people who say 'its my body' probably dont realize that if they need some sort of medical help, its not gonna be pretty. i think its something that you just cant understand unless youve had some sort of surgery. nothing much is more miserable.

like this one here.

yes, but smoking a couple of ciggs a week wont hurt your body...your lungs probably clean themselves out...smoking only 2-4 ciggs a week that is.
 
I like cancer. I dunno, I enjoy smoking, I feel like I'm trapped in a box if I go for a long time without smoking, like I'm depriving myself of food or peeing. I've quit for long periods before, and I'm sure that I will quit forever within the next 5 years. So I guess it's not a big deal since my body will heal.

It's enjoyable and fvck your naive notion of second hand health risks...

 
I voted social smoker. I used to be a regular smoker but I quit many many years ago. Now on very rare occasions I will light one up. We're talking a couple times per year I'll smoke one or two cigarettes. I will also partake of a fine cigar every few months or so.

Honestly though cigarette smoke by itself smells good to me if I just get a wiff of one burning but cigarette smoke in general is a big turn off and I can smell a smoker a mile away.
 
psychologically/biologically nicotine is actually good... it makes your brain trainsmit more efficiently.. that's why they think lots of skitzo people are chain smokers, pyschologists think they're self-medicating

downside is the whole addiction and cancer things

(note: i don't smoke, no real desire to an no benifits good enough)
