Do you smoke?

[Domanic]

I smoke. Quite a lot :/

I'll usually have one or two on the walk to college and maybe one on the way back. At College I'll have a cigarette or two in my free time if my friends are with me.

I smoke quite a lot more when I go out for the evening, regardless of what I do (pub, bar, club, friend's house).

That being said I can take a month off without any problems and could easily quit if I could be bothered, but right now the social functions that smoking performs are just too tempting.

[Dean Graziosi]

[TuffLuffJimmy]

no... way

I love that the post was edited by a mod for consecutive posts.

Anyway, I'm really surprised that no one else here (that I have seen) has mentioned hookah.

I'll smoke a cigarette on rare occasion, mainly when I'm by myself downtown as my friends all complain about the smoke. But we all love hookah and do that most weekends at our local hookah bar.

I was a smoker for 5 years, then one day i decided to quit. Then that was that, never had the urge to want to start again for some weird reason.

 

[ViciousShadow21]

It's still tobacco.

60/40 tobacco to clove at least on the Djarum Blacks. i love those things.

 

[aaron11193]

Weed only.

It can't kill you and it smells a ******** better.

Contrary to govournment-forced belief, it is not bad for you at all.

And to everyone that claims smoking tobacco relaxes you, it doesn't, it's only placebo.

The good stuff is a relaxant 🙂

I met some of my best friends in respiratory clinics.

No, that's a lie. I've seen what it can do to people and no - it's certainly isn't 'not bad for you at all'.

Smoking is probably the single greatest factor in an early death.

If its long term mental problems you're talking about, the reason for that most of the time is people keeping hits in too long, starving the brain of oxygen and killing brain cells.

and amen to that.

Where did you get this information from?

I wasn't talking about that, no.

 

[aaron11193]

Sorry, I seem to be a bit one-sided at the moment..

@raggedjimmi: what kind of stuff are you talking about?

@.Andy: personal experience, logic and many places on the internet, although I do admit from some slightly questionable or biased sources.

🙂. There's a genetic component to it but the exact mechanism hasn't been elucidated that I'm aware. I doubt that even with a really long inhalation your oxygen stats are going to drop to levels where your brain experiences hypoxia and cells die. If there's some scientific evidence to what you say I'd be keen to see it though. I find the pot-schizophrenia story fascinating.

 

[0098386]

Simply put, if weed was so good for you then it wouldn't alter your mind in such a drastic way. It wouldn't become psychologically addictive, it wouldn't cause both long and short term memory problems and possible psychosis, it wouldn't worsen the symptoms of already mentally unstable individuals.
From personal experience weed isn't a magical 'good' drug. My experiences of what it can do to people have been posted in this forum before so I'd suggest you look around for an actual thread about weed rather than making absurd claims in a thread about tobacco smoking.

I'm very surprised by the high percentage of those in this poll who don't smoke! Keep up the good work. I'm 56 now and have never smoked and never will. It's a big big turn off to me. Smoking is a deal breaker to me. Attractive looking woman... see her smoking... deal breaker.

When I was in the army the Sargents would run us around all day. They never said... take a rest, you guys must be tried... oh no, it was... smokin' break... smoke em if you got'em... if you ain't gottem... bum one from your buddy. Yeah, good job there. Resisted it all... never smoked.

 

[aaron11193]

Yeah I see how my claims were a bit more certain and direct than I meant them to be...

I'll go do some more research 🙄

 

[Phil A.]

Yep, I smoke and have done for 20+ years. I smoke because I enjoy it and it helps me think (in as much as when I take a smoking break it often helps me think through a problem). At age 42 I play soccer twice a week and blew 850 on my last peak flow test (the doctor made me do it 3 times because he couldn't believe how high it was) - if I stop being able to do the other things in life I enjoy I may stop, but not just yet 😉

I never smoke indoors or around people (I do try to be a considerate smoker 🙂 )

 

[nobunaga209]

No. Gross. Sorry.

+1 for me on this one.

 

[northy124]

I smoke 😀 it is good for me, increases my brain power much like when I drink Vodka 😀 if it wasn't for smoking I'd not be getting the A's I am right now as when I am not smoking I suck at anything that involves thinking lol

 

[carolina17]

Smoke gets in your eyes

No, I don't smoke. It always gives me a headache.
I think you should listen to this song to get rid of your anxiety 😉
