whats the point of smoking cigs. I dont get it. All they do is make u smell, have nasty looking skin, jacked up teeth, and people who smoke have the nastiest smelling houses of all time. Plus u dont really get any satisfaction or "high" from smoking cigs.

At least if u smoke, weed, u get that "high'' feeling and get the munchies. Plus marijuana tends to make u relax.

So people who smoke what do get out of smoking. I really want to know.

Plus u dont look cool smoking cigs. Its so funny to me every time i see people smoking cigs. they think theyre so cool its just funny.

It's called a nicotine addiction. I smoked for four years but I quit back in August. Been happier and had more money ever since :D.

I was actually told that by someone when I was twelve lol. Then when I turned 17 I started smoking myself and truly did understand. Now I understand how much better it is to have kicked that completely pointless, very dangerous, habit. Just smoke herb.... It's far less harmful to the system and you have much more fun.

For people who have been smokers for a while, it is understandable that they have an addiction. However, I don't see how the new generation, even though it knows the dangers of cigarettes, can still smoke with a clear conscience. It's got to be the media emphasizing the "badassery" of smoking...-_-

Not necessarily...

It just feels great when you smoke it, and you also feel good after...

For those saying "how can anyone like this", well first of all I don't go post "how can anyone like coffee", they just like it. And second, if you tried smoking once and it tasted awful, that's because it's always like that at first. The taste and the feeling changes completely as you keep smoking.

Besides tasting good, they provide a distraction and a reason to be by yourself if nothing else works. And with some drinks, they just blast your mind with tasty pleasure. Also, they taste good. The good ones, of course.

Exactly. Coffee can do the same thing for you and at least that doesn't give you lung cancer.

In all seriousness, It wakes you up, It relaxes you, It will stop your hunger, It will calm you down, It will become an addiction, its recreational activity that can be used for meeting people, but the consequences are probably far worse just for the little stuff.

Yeah, I've been wondering the same. Yeah, the nicotine addiction, but still, why start in the first place? And an addiction takes alittle time to settle in, so the first couple times they do it they are doing it out of their own will. Why even go that far?

It tasted good soI smoked a couple of them. Then I started smoking cigars every once and awhile, eventually that led me to cigarettes and my addiction. It was surprisingly easy to quit to considering I went from smoking 2 1/2 packs a day to nothing overnight. Did it cold turkey and only felt like crap for a week.

No, I just said that coffee can give you cancer just like many, many things. Smoking is way more dangerous, and lung cancer is a very dangerous cancer, but you really have to smoke a lot to get lung cancer.

I remember I smoked my first cigar when I was 16, and I personally didn't see anything in it. It didn't taste good, and I didn't have desire to smoke another one. I remember smoking Hookah when I was 17, and I thought it was ok. So I used to smoke it alot (Only socially though), but I stopped that when I heard it is even more harmful then cigarettes. It started making me feel sick too after a while. So I just stopped, and don't have any desire to pick it back up again. I see letting an addiction get the best of you as a weakness, so I will never let it happen to me.

I find anti-smoking activists alot more annoying that regular smokers.

I used to smoke, and i still do, but i smoke alot less now. Not much to say, they make me feel good and calm my nerves.
