So, just a random thread.
Wondering what kind of cigarettes you all smoke?
Or, at that, how many of you actually do smoke?
And while we're at it, whats everyone stance on
smoking altogether?

Personally, i smoke Newport 100's.
The taste is strong and it hits rather hard,
but its good.
Im not too fond of smoking anymore, though.
Sure, i find myself needing one when i run out.
But, when i have a pack, and im smoking through
them, i tend to get lazier and more irritable.

Ive gone a few weeks without them before with no problem,
so im sure i could quit if i wanted.
I dont have a very addictive personality, anyways.

But for now, i smoke.
And its your turn to tell me what you smoke, should
any of you even smoke at all?

Btw, if your going to come here and flame because "cigarettes
are bad", then dont bother posting.
This isnt going to turn into a fight thread,
and if im not blowing cyber-smoke down your air ways,
then dont start bitchin about nothing.

Please and thank you?

ItsxBillyx

Mayfair?
It must be something only sold overseas
Sounds like a European style Newport
which makes it yummay =D
Newports are always menthol, too

Don't smoke. Never tried. I can't even stand being around people who are smoking. That smell and taste in your mouth and coughing is horrible. I get so mad when my mom smokes in the house or car.

Lol i didnt mean it like "should any of you smoke".
It sounds different taken out of context.

The only thing i cant stand about people who
smoke are the teenagers who sit there, suck the
smoke in their mouth and blow out.
Thats not smoking.
Thats taking smoke in your mouth to look cool
and then blowing it out so your friends think
your hardcore.
To smoke, you have to inhale. Take it in your
mouth, then breathe it into your lungs, then exhale.
Simple.
If anybody here doesnt actually smoke, its your prerogative,
and none of my business. But, just dont ask me
for a smoke ;]

Most of my friends have parents who
smoke in their house and it fucking reeks of old
rotten tobacco.
I cant stand that smell.
Thats why i only will smoke outside.

I dont cough or anything.
At least not yet.
If i keep up with it, ill surely develop
it and lung cancer is certainly up there in the long run
if i dont stop around when im 18.
Which is my plan.
But i might quit even before then.
Im not sure yet.
I have only been smoking for 4-5 months,
so i havent experienced any problems.

Now, i certainly hope none of you are going
to disrespect me on the forums from now on
because i smoke, because that would be
awful childish.
The only reason i say that is because seeing as
how most people here feel about smoking,
they get a little testy and its unnecessary.
I dont, or at least i dont think i have,
been disrespectful to anybody here as of yet,
so, lets all just remain friends. =]
This IS a community, not a warzone! ;]

*disclaimer - this isn't an attack on smokers, just stating how I feel about it. This IS a community, and it thrives on people voicing their opinion.

I don't smoke - never have, nor ever plan to. My brother smokes, as well as several of my coworkers. I personally find it disgusting. As for teens smoking, it makes me ill to see all the kids walking down the streets smoking who are obviously under the "legal" age to smoke. Everyone knows the heath risks of smoking, and I don't believe that the smoking age is because of for health reasons, but people under that age aren't considered ready to make a decision that can affect them for the rest of their lives like that. For anyone who says "I don't smoke THAT much" .. or "I can quit any time I want" .. you should be careful. It only takes a bad week at work, or a weekend of partying with friends to let your habit go out of control. Health departments all over the country are cracking down on smoking. In CA, it's illegal to smoke in any public building (restaurants, bars, etc). You actually can be cited if you're not something like 20 feet away from the building. And if you smoke in your car or house, it can significantly reduce the value of it.

Now, with that said .. if you want to smoke .. that's your choice. But don't do it around me

Same thing here in Ohio, Mike.
Now you cant smoke in public buildings and such.
But, its been that way ever since i started smoking
so its nothing different to me.

I can perfectly understand why they would consider
teenagers inept to making such a large decision,
and yeah, something goes awry and the habit could worsen,
but i feel as though im going to be ok.
That is, only if i stick to wanting the best for my health
instead of cheaping away to dangerous health hazards for
comfort and an escape.
I personally wouldnt consider it serious for me at the moment,
but then again, isnt that what any smoker would say?

Idk, ive introduced myself to this trouble,
and im the only one who can pull myself out of it.
I will eventually, i have to.
Unless i am willing to put lung cancer and other
hazards above my own life.

Well if I am not mistaken, you can't smoke within 20 feet of a business... and in Berkley, California it is now illegal to smoke in public (they made the law... but I don't know how much they will enforce it.... I don't smoke, never have never will..... I am glad cities are starting to ban smoking in certain areas to cut down on the second hand smoke.

I don't smoke and I never will. I am not going to tell you how to live your life because I know you know that smoking is bad. All I'm going to say is quiting is not a easy process and my bestfreinds dad smokes in the car. He used to use this orange scent to cover it up. The smell of smoke and orange don't mix. Pine covers it up a lot better.

Haha
Well should i ever need to, ill use pine scent instead of oranges
to cover it up ;]

Although this thread didnt go the way i THOUGHT it would,
its really nice to see so many non-smoking teenagers.
I spent my earlier teenage years avoiding and dodging all
of those things, but now, im in the midst of it.
There is no excusing it, and there certainly is no justifying it.
However, im just trying to enjoy my life now.
Not that i couldnt do that without cigarettes and other things,
but ive always had an experimental mind.
I always want to experience things, no matter how good or bad
they may be.
Besides, i dont plan on living long anyways.
Ive always felt like ill be dead in my early to mid 20's.
Not that im revolving my life around that thought, but im just afraid life will
slip away from under my feet before i can get to push it to its extremes.
The only thing i want to do before i die is fall in love.
Granted, i already did once, but i want it to be a relationship,
not me laying there for hours listening to t.A.T.u thinking of someone
that ill never have, sobbing like a baby.
Maybe death will do me a favor and wait a little bit... =]

Yeah, this isnt the thread for that.
Idk, ive been thinking about posting one about that
situation since i came here.
Maybe i will, maybe i wont.

....And knowing me, ill post that in about an hour.
Lol

True. But dying from somking sucks.

The other month my grandmother died from smoking-related illnesses. She had emphysema/lung cancer and had a tracheotomy and was on oxygen and machines the last years of her life. She suffered A LOT and was in pain constantly and died very slow and painfully.

It was tragic to watch, and it would neverh ave ended up that way if she didn't smoke.

i have no idea how someone could do that to themselves.




but anyway, i have friends who smoke, idc and i don't judge them either way. i prefer people don't smoke around me. I also live with two smokers and my dad smokes on rare occasions just recently, which pisses me off because before this year when he started he always told me how he hated being around smokers and hated the smell of smoke and that he wanted me to be like him and never smoke and then he suddenly starts himself.... great example-setting skills.

I've tried it before but absolutely hated it. I don't care if other people do though because many of my friends and some of my family members do. Plus, I'm not one to judge. If you enjoy it then feel free to do it I say because I'm not gonna stop ya!
