Smoking

Yeah same, kinda.
I started in about 3rd year, so about 14. Buts it's not a proper habit. Only tend to smoke at parties or gigs.

Is it odd that I don't like the smell of smoke on me, but if I'm outside I don't actually mind it on other people?

Nah, I get you. It's why I have to be drunk if I've smoked because I can't stand the smell when I'm sober.

Imagine doing that to yourself, I mean wtf....he really should shave.

I need a smoke and a coffee when I wake up, when I'm on my breaks and before I go to bed. 'bout four packs a week.

I really hate people that smoke when they're drunk. Whats the difference?

I probably smoke around 20 a day now, used to be less, but then I moved to University

To be honest I don't see the big deal. I can understand people not wanting to smoke for personal reasons, as long as they don't try and tell me not to smoke.

The reason I smoke is probably got started due to stress and friends smoking, but now I do genuinely enjoy it and don't really think about the effect it has on my health... which I guess is kinda bad seeing as the only reason I've ever considering quitting was lack of money and not because I'm slowly killing myself, but I do save a fair bit of money by rolling them myself.

I don't smoke but i don't really care if other people do, its their own choice. Id love to see what people would say if they started putting pictures of fat people on mcdonalds boxes.

oh man,
this reminded me of my pal adek, he smokes like.. ten or more a day.
so when the time for english solo talks came around last year, he chose the obvious topic of smoking.

when he was doing his,
he climbed on a table and screamed...
'SMOKERS ARE BEING TREATED LIKE SCUM!'
the then ranted about 'hamburgers don't come with a warning of 'eat this and you'll end up a fat fuck.' i mean, you don't get a photo of michelle mcmanus on a hamburger, but yet on a deck of fags you get this guy?'
so then, he wapped out his fags and proceeded to offer my english teacher a cigarette.

surprisingly, he got a good mark for it.

oh, and all of that was with a heavy russian accent.
which made it all the more amusing.

Shush, Jay. You're a bad influence.

And eating McDonalds is kinda different... You do actually need to eat. Smoking is a pretty pointless thing, you can live without it. Plus, I had McDonalds for dinner last night and the night before that. Am I fat?

That's a bit like saying "I ate pasta with tomato sauce for two nights in a row. Am I a vegetarian?".
No. Just because a veggie might do that doesn't make me one, and similarly with the McDonalds situation.

Smoking is addictive and it causes you harm, although I'm told it can relax you. Stale tobacco smoke, that gets into your clothes, smells vile.

I've never smoked. My dad's morning cough was enough to put anyone off. he died of cancer, so did my mum, who also smoked when she was young. She died of undiagnosed cancer of the stomach and pancreas.

I just don't see the point of smoking. True it can calm you down, but there is a plethora of other ways to accomplish that that don't cause you harm. It makes you smell bad, it turns your teeth yellow, it makes you cough, and it kills you.....what's enticing about it? I understand it's addictive but there are ways to get off it.

Yeah but what I meant by that is that I eat fast food a lot but I'm fine. Nevermind.

I HAVEN'T SMOKED FOR OVER TWO WEEKS BUT I'M GETTING THE BIGGEST CRAVING EVER, SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS.

But seriously, don't start.

I don't see the reason for starting smoking nowadays, outside of the whole school/peer pressure situation. You look at the price, and what it does to you, just not appealing at all! And it isn't nice kissing a smoker either, so no brownie points there!

So many people in my school smoke. I'm glad I don't, thinking about the money I save and my health.

I never used to pay for cigs. My mate bought tobacco and she used to roll for me, haha.

The fag that's in the garage is tempting me. May have to have it with a beer....

Jay has gone out to smoke about 6 million times since he's been here. -_-

I don't see the point in smoking, unless it's weed.
