Smoking?

[Testicular Claw]

I like to smoke. I mainly just smoke when I drink. Alcohol and cigarettes for whatever reason go great together. Sometimes if I have a particularly stressful day I will have a cig or two though. I would smoke more but it's to expensive with all the "sin taxes" placed on them. I'm a little bit particular. I only smoke menthols. New Port is my cancer stick of choice.

So I covered when I like to smoke, the type of cigarette I like to smoke which is menthols, and even my favorite brand. In a normal world that would be considered a perfectly acceptable post. Not spam at all. This is wrestlezone however, and there seems to be a major emphasis on post length.

So fuck it, some quick smoking anecdotes.

At my university there was a petition to have my university be a completely smoke free campus. Well anyways I was walking with my cousin John when some girl came with us asking if we think South Eastern should be a completely smoke free campus, and John responded by raising his voice and countering her question with "DO YOU HATE AMERICA!?" and then going on this rant about how tobacco was the first successful cash crop and how the British Colonial system might of failed without it. He wasn't being serious or anything he was just trying to shock the person and make them go away. It was really funny in person. She was stunned.

Another favorite of mine is "I smoke because I have faith in humanity. I will be THE cancer patient they eventually cure cancer on and it will be a landmark in science, medicine, and human achievement". I like that attitude. Smoking usually gets you later on in life anyways, people see it as this huge great risk but life no matter what if fairly short.

Bill hicks has some good jokes about smoking for those of you familiar with that comedian. Several of them are up on youtube I believe and there are tribute sites that have his jokes quoted.

I used to smoke cigarettes but I quit several years ago and now alls I smoke is pot and occasionally I'll light up a cigar, it depends if it's some sort of special occasion or not.

I still drink alcohol though, but not as much as I used too.I've learned to moderate myself and make sure I don't drink too much and whatnot.

I used to love smoking when I did it but I got very tired of it after alot of years.

I hate smokers. They are all low lifes to me. I would not even seat next to one on a train or a bus.

Low lifes?

How are they a low life? Because they partake in a completely legal habit that is unhealthy? Do you eat fast food? Do you not excerise? Do you drink soda pop? Ever had alcohol? Ever done anything stupid to put your life in danger, perhaps talk on your cell phone and drive?

Why exactly is smoking a cigarette such an evil thing to classify smokers as a low life? I understand not wanting to sit next to one, I won't either. I can't stand the smell since I quit, but I just can't begin to fathom why they are a low life.

Thats real close minded. As for me and smoking i dont, i run alot thats why. But alot of my friends do it, no big deal. I like to smoke cigars though, and i love the green.

Maybe kind of random but does anyone dip? i personally love to dip, i love the feeling you get and the relaxation it brings. Most people think its gross but whatever. Nuthin better thank a Skoal and a beer after a hard week.

So smokers are low lifes like Child abusers, murderers and rapists? Please. Smoking is legal. So is it any worse than drinking? Both can have an effect on your health. So If I drink am I a low life as well? Do you drink because if you do then you must be a low life as well.

Sure smoking is a drug. But it's a legal one. Same as alcohol and caffeine. It's not the same as smonking crack with your homies under a bridge.

I use the word low life becuase smoking hurts more then one person. Second hand smake is more dangerous then most smokers think.

I don't say that people who drink alcohol or caffeine low-lifes because they don't affect other people's health only the user's health is affected.

 

[thecruiser]

I smoke a lot of weed. Like, a LOT. While some people say smoking a cigarette after you burn a spliff is good, I don't agree. I do get a head rush whenever I smoke cigarettes, but it's nothing compared to the weed high. I hate the taste, smell, and consequences of cigarettes, and I just don't think it's worth it. Why, if cannabis has never produced a death, and cigarettes kill thousands of people every day, their legality laws aren't reversed? Smoke weed every day, not cigarettes. It will save your life.

Hold on?

Am I reading that right? Seriously.

Buddy, I worked a two car fatal accident News Year Eve. A drunk driver ran a red light and ran straight into an 18 wheeler working overtime so he could finish his load early and get home to his family early on News Years Day. The driver of the pickup tboned the 18 wheeler so hard, it knocked the 18 wheeler on its side (passenger side was on the ground, t bone into the drivers side).

The truck driver wasn't wearing his seat belt, it the truck hit him so hard, it flew him across the cab of his truck and his head went out passenger window. Now remember what I said about it landing on its side? His body got squashed under the cab and his head was sticking out.

The driver of the pickup now, since yoiu can now understand how fast he was going, went straight out his windshield. He survived though and came through ICU in the hospital sometime in Mid January from what I've heard.

All because a person was drunk.

Alcohol kills.

And it is just not drunk drivers. People get drunk, and can't control themselves, will do some mean and horrible things.

I started smoking cigarettes in my early twenties, and am now hooked. I do about a pack a day. I haven't even tried to stop, because I now do it mainly when I'm stressed out.

I wish I had never started, especially since the ********er scumbag pile of rich trash mayor we have has raised cigarettes to 300 dollars a pack in the city, seemingly because his dead mother needs the money.

I get 'em from guys on the street for half price, so fuck you, Bloomberg.

I mainly don't quit because I know it annoys other people. I'm a sadist like that.

Come out to Long Island, there still going 5 a pack here.


I do sometimes, once every now and then, im not addicted, as I can go months without one, weed is much better, tho.

 

[CoNz PrOcTiNOz]

i smoke weed it aint no thang only smoke good weed thought no stress thats wack weed. marijuana has not effect my life at all i was a general manager for papa johns pizza I finished high school and plan on going back to school soon i also have a medical marijuanna card so its all good!

 

[deadpool]

I been smokin for 7 years and only quit 2 months back.it was a bad habit to pick up.tryin to kick it.its still hard not to smoke when i drink.

 

[Dark Blaze]

I've never smoked...probably never will...shit kinda disgusts me..the smell...doesn't help I'm allergic to cigarette smoke.

I have no problem with smokers except those who smoke around me (like my uncle) Some of you have said that if you get cancer then it's your problem and your fault. But what you don't realise is that it's much easier to get cancer from second hand smoke..simply put...the smokers EXHALE the cigarette smoke but those around them INHALE it..thus we get a larger amount of the carcinogens in our lungs. But whatever, if people want to smoke that's their business, just not around me.

Though I so wouldn't mind trying weed...and yes i do alcohol..but I don't drink to get drunk just for a moderate high where I can still think...just with my inhibitions slightly lowered (more than usual at least)

So Cigarette smoking- hell freaking no, weed- maybe one hit.

Someone should make a "what is YOUR vice thread" with Weed, Cigarettes, Rum etc. as options.

 

[DoomCrewRatedRKO]

Curiosity kills the cat. Before I really knew it I was up to whole a pack of newports a day and Im only 18, But with someone else paying my gas card bill and all, quitting soon looks unlikely, but I know if will just keep getting harder the longer I wait. If your thinking about it I would say dont start, theres really no reason to.

 

[rKo0019]

Yes it is very easy to pick up, and very difficult to quit. Right now, I got my apartment window open and the guy downstairs is smoking....makes me wanna run down there and beg him for a cigarette.

 

[Bottom_Line]

Americans got it so lucky for tobacco and liquor. The cheapest smokes in Canada are almost 7 bucks a pack, for the discount shitty ones.
This may sound strange but I've tried to get hooked on smoking. Whenever I'm at work or at the bar I light up and can never really get into it though. I failed at getting addicted. Unless you count chewing tobacco, and then I'm addicted as shit.

Nobody gives a fuck about your opinion on smoking.

People smoke because it feels good, and it's relaxing.

And of course because you look cool with a cigarette in your mouth.

FACT.

Also, I hate nothing more then someone telling people how to live their life (especially when they're fifteen years old).

FACT x 2.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So for the sake of lazyness, what is this thread about? If smoking is ok or not??? Itsa free fucking country. If you wanna kill yourself slowly (and look cool as a MOTHERFUCKER while you do it) then go ahead, its your choice, and your body. As long as u dont infringe on anyone elses space, who chooses not to smoke, then who the fuck cares. The fact that it isnt good for you is indisputable, so this thread HAS to be about is it ok or not. Of course its ok. Its the persons body, let them smoke if they want.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

I used to smoke 2 packs a day and LOVED IT. Then every morning i would wake up and have to swallow my lung again. I chose to quit smoking becuase i wanted to get healthy and everyone knows smoking isnt healthy. I chose to do it cold turkey and that is the hardest thing ive ever done. I dont have a problem with anyone smoking around me because its theyre choice whether thy want to do it or not. I just want to know why all the most pleasurable things in life are bad for you.

Im simply giving my opinion on the subject i thought that was what forums are for.You dont have to agree with me its just my opinion. and so what no one ''gives a fuck about my opinion''

 

[Father:_Polley]

personally, i hate smoking. i hate the way people smoking near me made my clothes smell. i don't smoke and i never had, simply because it disgusts me.

everyone knows the danger with smoking, and still do it. the majority because they like it and i've no real problem with people smoking, provided it's nowhere near me

 

[finchy]

I wont touch cigarettes but have smoked pot before. Enought to know that it is damn good too. Cigarettes are foul, but then again so is pot. At least w/ pot you get a high and you get only three emotions, "happy/sleepy/hungry" (katt williams)

 

[Rated K for Kennedy... Kennedy!]

I'm a smoker and honestly some days I wish I wasn't others I really love it. It makes me feel less stressed and I do agree that there is a general feeling that smoking looks cool/is a bit bad boy/dangerous- as stupid as that sounds I think it's part of the reason I started. Was kind of anti-peer pressure as none of my friends did so after I started I saw it as something original that made me different and I embraced that, now I regret my nievity and am struggling to quit.

I am 14 years old, and have a very addictive personailty. I had my first ciggarette right after I turned 12 during the summer. Didn't really touch any after that until the winter, of me still being twelve years old, ever since then I have been smoking anywhere from 8-12 cigs a day. I want to quit honestly I can say I want to, but I jsut can't. With all my friends being smokers for the most part, and cigs always being available in my house due to my parents smoking, it seems impossible to me. If anyone has any tips for me (mind I'm 14, cant get patch or gum or pills) to quit I'll take em. My world just feels like it sucks when I don't have a cig and I get extremely angry and cranky.
