Yeah "Oh just one" doesn't work no matter how much willpower you think you have.
But darn these are crazy :P

cigarettes:
tar - coats the lining of the lungs making them less able to take in oxygen. also it has carcinogens which cause CANCER carbon monoxide - poionous gas which joins with red blood cells naking them incapable of transporting oxygen(thing you breathe in) around the body. nicotine - an addictive drug that raises heart beat, narrows arteries and so causes high blood pressure. thiss leads to heart disease. so as you see its no good. you get strokes, acccidents, heart diseases, cancer, respiratoey illnes, smelly breath, mouth + throat cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer and many more. and it costs you about 2.000£ a year(if you live in UK) | |
I'm sure you would be the one to know, given that your nose grows accustomed to any smell and that smoking causes anosmia. =P
Try asking someone else whether your breath stinks after you smoke a cigarette. People are rarely good judges of their own odours unless they're particularly bad in a local area of their body -- for instance, if you go work out at a gym, you can obviously smell the armpit sweat and probably can't smell any of the rest of your sweat. But if a woman were to take a sniff of, say, your back, she'd probably be rather disinclined to take a sniff of anything else. ;-) | |
Odd, my brother smokes just one every month or so, seriously his packs go stale.

I know that for sure. The only way to quit is to quit cold turkey, and even then you will crave them months later when the stress kicks in.
| |
Usually what happens to me is I start to hate smoking when it begins to take all the energy/motivation out of my body. I become sluggish and feel consistantly sick. That's what makes me quit, and the first two days until the nicotine passes through are very hard, but then I am good for a few months. But then, a few months later, I always miss it and crave it because I feel healthy and am stressed/bored.
The true addiction is in the mind. | |
I never get cravings though, I smoke because I like to smoke.... things >_>;;
Also, Marlboro Reds get me high. ~Kujila | |

(My) Cons: IT KILLS YOU IT KILLS YOU IT KILLS YOU IT KILLS YOU IT KILLS YOU (My) Pros: * I like to smoke. I like to do the act of smoking. * I like the controllability - short buzzes when smoked softly, strong high when smoked heavily. * It's legal * I can smoke them in public, before, during, and after work, and nobody can do a darn thing because they're legal * I CAN BUY THEM AT GAS STATIONS * I like to smoke (lol) * I'm a REBEL! ~Kujila | |
* I can smoke them in public, before, during, and after work, and nobody can do a darn thing because they're legal In Salt Lake City, it's illegal to smoke outdoors unless you're on privately owned land that allows it. Turns out that 40% of our atmosphere is second-hand cigarette smoke from evil murderous smokers, and it's killing those poor anti-tobacco fundimentalists :( We wouldn't want that! I know even a few states have taken similar measures. They are trying to eventually score prohibition; they won't stop at severely limiting your personal rights, they want to outright destroy them. * I like the controllability - short buzzes when smoked softly, strong high when smoked heavily. That goes away depending on how much you smoke. Even if you're a light smoker, it will go away after about a year, and the more heavily you smoke, the faster that date comes. It's also permanent; the feeling never comes back, which is really a good thing when you need to quit and they aren't really doing anything for you. * It really is cool to smoke (to a lot of people). A lot of people like to pretend that their constant nagging is making it "uncool" to smoke. The truth is that the more people nag about it, the more "cool" it is to people who dislike good wholesome stuff like oppression and christianity. | |
I'm all for personal rights but smoking is gross. I can't stand it when my mum comes home smelling of smoke.
The thing is: she doesn't even smoke. It's her boyfriend that smokes. How bad is that? Ban smoking already, for crying out loud. =P | |

Here, we're trying to get restaurants smoke-free, and most have made the switch. It's actually really nice being able to taste my food again. Also, you gotta feel bad for the servers who had to be in it all day. You have the freedom to do what you want until it takes away from someone else's freedom (to breath clean air... and actually taste food) I don't care if you smoke at home, or a bar, but stay out of our family restaurants and public places. Consider it another incentive to quit. | |
I remember walking into a nightclub where I regularly do DJ gigs, just to deliver something to the bartender and walk back out. When I got back to my girlfriend (none of us smoke) at home, she said I reeked of smoke.
Thank god they're banning smoking in restaurants/nightclubs from next year onward, or so. | |
Cigarettes = not cool.
