Yes. Another thread about smoking.

[Alkaline]

I got into a debate/arguement last night because a certain someone was giving me ideas on how to quit smoking and that there are so many ways on how to quit, and saying"You have to want to quit for it to happen" but the thing is 'i don't want to quit smoking'. Yet this person just seemed to keep on going and i had no interest in arguing about it.

It has got to be one of the most annoying topics to talk about when you simply dont want to quit. Yes i do enjoy smoking, and no i dont light up a smoke and think to myself "Oh geez, this smoke is really doing me harm"

Has this happened to anyone else and whats your veiw on it?

I hate smoking and think It's just stupid in so many different ways but at the end of the day It's your decision and no one can make that decision for you and we're all gonn die someday anyway so if a smoke really is that enjoyable for you then kindly reply with a **** off to the next person to tell you otherwise.

I love smoking and it's a good way for time to pass without becoming bored.

How is it stupid in so many different ways? I can only think of two; how many can you think of?

The reply part is brilliant - just tell them 'subtly' to F-off!

So you'd rather fill your lungs with cancer causing chemicals than do something constructive that would stop you becoming bored?

I dont smoke but I'd tell them to 'f--- off' as politely as possible. Each to their own, if people want to smoke then they can damn well smoke.

Hmm I guess there are only 2 big ones dobule07 money and health but theres so many different harmful chemicals in them but like i said before that's your choice not mine.

I find this argument redundant.

How many chemicals are in the food we eat and the water coming from our tap.

Do people who dont smoke due to the chemicals only eat organic food and drink distilled water?

Are you serious?

Serious as colon cancer.

 

[TigerBabe]

Smoking is a lifestyle.

I do smoke because I'm addicted. I have tried to quit, but I just can't.

 

[Dan Moody]

your choice ultimately but i know i'd prefer not to go through any of this..

LOL.

Ok. Do you drive a car?

*Cant be bothered showing car crash victims*

Id rather not go through old age.

 

[Dan Moody]

the only thing that annoys me more than people smoking is other (non-smokers) telling them they shouldn't smoke. FTR, i'm not a smoker but i'll be damned if i give a **** if you are.

not preaching to anyone, like i said i couldn't care less if they smoke i'd just prefer not to have any of that shit /\ /\ /\ /\ happen to me.

He/she's exactly right.

To quit smoking, you must first want to quit smoking.

Many people don't want to quit smoking. In order to motivate these people, the best motivators are often those that are close to them, such as relatives.

If smokers don't want a bar of it, then just let them be because it's not going to do much good harping on, as this will likely annoy them rather than help them.

We need Hitler back, he banned smoking didn't he?

sound a bit touchy, go have a gasper to calm the nerves

Non-Smoking propagandists are far worse human beings than Smokers.

STFU.

Smokers put others at risk and clog up hospitals and other medical services when the well deserved side effects hit in. There's no comparison.

correct, they are right up there with fat arses that expect to get lap band surgery with taxpayers money.
you choose to put that shit in your bodies, live with it.

No, Alcholics clog up hospitals, yet there isn't a crusade against Alcohol.

A smoker doesn't bother me aslong as they don't blow it in my face. It's nearly impossible to put others are risk with pubs, clubs, etc having blanket bans on smoking.

so i ask again, do you only eat organic foods and drink tap water?

These photos are from old people that have smoked 30 cigarettes a day for 30+ years.

I am 20 and smoke less than 10 a day (usually much less actually) Haven't actually smoked for 6 days straight now simply because I've got a shocking cold and have a sore throat and when you have a sore throat the last thing you wanna do is smoke .. not to mention my smokes taste like shit because my tastebuds are ****ed.

There's a good question for the smokers .. when you have a cold and your tastebuds go all weird, do you still smoke like normal? I find the smell & taste horrible ..

 

[YOTC]

The the whole "I only smoke 'x' so I won't be as bad" attitude.

Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself?

*Cant be bothered showing car crash victims*

A car will get me places.
Gets me to work
To footy
To the misses
To friends
To family
To school

The benefits go a long way to covering for the risks involved.
I'm not so sure what benefits you get out of smoking other than smelling horrible.
