Health Smoking?

[RU_]

You see quite a bit on BigFooty if someone says they were talking to a girl in the AFS thread over a smoke the replies of 'ew girls who smoke', etc with a lot of likes. Was just wondering how the users of Bigfooty fair for smoking?

I'm a smoker here, albeit going to try and quit in the near future, just something that stemmed from 'peer pressure' with mates who smoked and then when I moved state people at a new job and social circles did too so I guess I did partly to have an even ground with them and it just got worse. However I should be able to give it up reasonably easily as I can go a day or two without one if I had to, not relying on them.

No. Filthy disgusting habit

I used to enjoy a smoke every now and then (especially when drinking).

Haven't had one now for over 8 or so years. Took me seeing one emphysema patient as a student to turn me right off it.

Feel sorry for those addicted to it.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Haven't ever smoked and don't intend on doing it.

 

[Doss]

No. Last smoked when I was 18.

 

[IschenkoUBeauty]

Not a smoker but I'm also not one of those c***s that wants to deny everyone else the option just because it's not for me and I want to be seen as some moral arbiter.

 

[Smoooothy]

Smoker. Generally don't in public though

 

[Freofalcon]

I quit about a month ago. Its funny how I could never smell a smoker before but now if someone lights up 30 meters away I can smell it. If thats how I used to smell like to other people, big incentive not to take it up again.

Not a smoker but it also doesn't bother me. The general attitude towards smokers is pretty disgusting.

 

[iluvparis]

Not a smoker - bothers me.

Smokers can EAD

My mother was a six or seven a day smoker from about 16 until age 32. She then caught glandular fever and, according to her, she didn't feel like them remotely while that sick. Anyway, she never took them up again once well and reckons she hasn't regretted it once.

 

[BotsMaster]

Only ever had second-hand smoke and find it disgusting.

Prefer not to associate with people who do smoke.

Yep. It's an attitude of "I'm better than you because I don't smoke". I call those types of people "c***s".

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Never smoked a ciggie in my life despite being offered from the age of 16. Doesn't appeal. Done shisha a few times though

Generally wouldn't date a smoker but the hotter she is, the more willing I'd be to accept it

 

[Ashton Agar]

No, it's just people forcing us to breathe in second-hand smoke, which is worse than blowing the bloody thing.

Exhaust fumes from all those cars on the road are much worse for you than someone smoking in your general vicinity.

Yep. Since I've quit the smokes, I drink less.

Lost 7 kilos.

You can avoid having to put up with their smoke pretty easily. Most smokers I know are pretty considerate about it these days.

A flat rule of not associating with them is a bit extreme.

That's awesome. Congrats mate.

 

[Morganashlee]

Have smoked since I was a teenager. Aware that is is a disgusting habit, probably killing me and unpleasant for non smokers etc.

I'm always very aware not to smoke in congested areas and never around children.

Want to be smoke free by 30, currently trying to change my lifestyle in other ways, smoking will be the next thing to go.

 

[Nallad]

What would be worse for you...

Binge drinking every Saturday night (about 15+ beers)

Or

Smoking 5 cigarettes a day, every day?

 

[Freofalcon]

That's awesome. Congrats mate.

Thanks. I just need to get over this feeling of rage I have.

If work or life ever started to stress me out, I'd go for a smoke. I need another outlet.

That's the next step.

Have always had a heavy bag hanging in the backyard. It's copping a hiding.
