I know alot of doctors that smoke...kinda ironic. I used to, but I haven't had one for two weeks and I'm trying to keep it like that.

Doctors are among the most unhealthy people around. Take my word for it, I've got two of them for parents. 🙂 They both smoke.

When you deal with life and death on a daily basis, smoking probably doesn't seem all that bad.

All the ones I work around are healthy in all other aspects besides the ones who smoke...I come from a family of healthy doctors...all except for the smoking or excessive drinking. Funny thing, though my grandfather smoked about 2 packs a day, he never developed any smoking related illness. Died of lymphoma last year at 78.
 
No, I don't smoke. But I wish I did.

It's not that I like smoking, or wish I could have all the bad health-related side effects. However, I hate all the recent anti-smoking laws and campaigns that have been picking up steam in this country. Every time I see that a city passes an anti-smoking ordinance, I feel like rushing out and buying a pack.
 
gave up 8 days ago! 😀

If i make a month I'm gonna buy a new moniter as a reward!
(who says giving up saves you money?)
 
the way i see it is...i don't like smokers who recently started, like some of the kids in my 10th grade. i could understand why my dad smokes, and he tried to quit twice, but didn't succeed. he lives a very stressed life and IIRC, smoking relieves stress at the expense of high blood pressure and a lot of other things. he started at 15 in vietnam war so it's a bit understandable. i just don't understand why new kids start when they know that it's like putting toxic inside your body. retarded? peer pressure? both?

edit: i respect smokers who smoke away from other people and hate those that just light one in a crowded place.
 
Definitely not. I am a runner and I hate it when people smoke. There is nothing worse than having the breathe that crap. And smoking is a surefire way to turn the hottest, most beautiful girl into an ugly skank.
