should i start smoking? or can someone at least tell me the joys of smoking?

[QUOTE="MissRiotmaker"]

The joys of smoking include:

- Shortness of breath

- Lack of appetite

- Disrupted sleeping patterns

- Tar stains on fingers and teeth

- Tobacco odour lingers

- Increased chances of lung cancer

- A waste of money

- A quick addiction that's hard to come off of

Shortness of breath...I still work my ass off more than my lazy non-smoking coworkers.

Lack of appetite...good. Maybe that's why I'm not fat.

Disrupted sleeping patterns...I think working 75 hours a week disrupts my sleep more than a few cigarettes.

Tobacco odor lingers...good. Tobacco smells good.

A waste of money...I could tell you that videogames are a waste of money too. At which point you'd reply that they aren't a waste of money for you because you enjoy playing them.

No at this point I'd just wish you smoke those cigarettes faster and just die already.

Smoke Hookah, Hookah > all other smokable stuff.

It won't get you addicted either, and they're great at parties.

I think that says a lot more than you realize.

See, the thing is, you can look at someone, and we're all different. Some of us are bad, some of us are good, and some of us are bad and good. But when you look at a person, what defines that person for you? What traits are important? What traits are trivial?

These are things that people must decide for themselves.

However, if I were to ever look at someone who was, for example, morbidly obese, and find myself wanting them to die because they are repulsive, that's a reflection on ME, not them.

But you know, that's really your business. Not mine, not anyone else's. How you choose to define a man is none of my concern. I just wanted to state, in very clear words, that YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DIE BECAUSE THEY SMOKE. That your calculus on what defines a man is based first and foremost on whether or not he smokes. And if he smokes, then he should not be allowed to live.

So really, think about what you've just typed. I'm not asking you to change your mind, I'm just asking you to think about it. And after seriously contemplating the implications of what you've just said, if you STILL hold those same feelings, then you should be disappointed to learn that you are LESS of a man than most smokers.

the only reason why people smoke regularly is because there addicted, not because they enjoy it, they keep on trying to get that buz that they experienced which hooked them, but the more they smoke the more and more they have to smoke to get that buzz, itll ruin your lifelinkin_guy109

That may be the case for some people, but not for me and most people I know who smoke... Not everyone smokes more and more to get the "buzz", which is enjoyable by the way. If we didn't enjoy it, we'd quit.

The thing is,the damage to your body wont repair,no matter how long you live,the damage to your lungs will remain.Wetall_basic

Not entirely true. I'm not advocating smoking or anything, but your lungs do regenerate if you quit in time. Unless you get cancer in the meantime, it can take up to 28 years of smoking to cause irreversible damage.

But smoking is rather stupid. Sure, it feels good, and it tastes great once you get used to it, but it's simply not worth it when you take into account the shortness of breath, reduced fitness, and a gnawing addiction that takes over a large part of your life........

I have never smoked but like you TC I am also interested in having a **** oops I mean cigarette once in a while, I heard it releaves stress but the downside is that if you smoke too much you'll get lung cancer... oh well, who wants to live to a 100 anyway :P I will probably have a cigarette some point in my life, when I am rich and successful :D

The fact that you're even asking bewilders me. It's detrimental to your health, you smell like crap and very few women will want to kiss you, let alone go out with you, if you want a stress reliever get a punching bag or a placebo from your doctor, if you want something to do get a Nintendo, if you want something to blow your money on then get a girlfriend, if you just want to look cool then you're a bloody idiot, if you want to kill yourself, take up skydiving or better yet jump off the emperor state building, at least then you wont be poisoning my air and damaging my lungs.
