Are you a smoker?

[lily.]

Random poll time again..

[Annie]

I quit! Go me!! :tongue:

[Sam!]

Yuck no.

[lily.]

I quit about 4 years ago. :D

[Tom]

:yuk:

[Jen]

I used to smoke, when I was far too young and I admitt that.
I didn't really quit although I did smoke loads, I could just stop... which worked out quite fantastic for me.. LOL

[Sticks]

Never have
Never Will

[30stone]

Never even had one pull (=

[supernoodles!]

no way

[Fom]

I quit, Got bullied by my tutors to do it. To save my voice, and save money for auditions haha. The temptation is still there, and maybe after my auditions I will buy a packet just for the fun of it. But I wont smoke after that.

Yes I smoke and I love it.
I don't plan on quitting because I do practice sports a lot so I keep being healthy.
However, sometimes I'm quite fed up with smoking but it generally lasts until the next cigarette lol

And I know what everyone is going to tell me, we've had that debate like a zillion times here.

[Firewire]

I have never smoked.

I have to hold my breath when I walk past someone who does smoke.

Doing sports doesn't wipe out anything smoking has done to your body. It ******s up your lungs, doing sport doesn't un**** them.

I already know that. You know, all smokers aren't ignorant about the danger.
What I meant is, as I do practice sports a lot, I'm healthier than the average guy who doesn't practice anything but his keyboard.
I don't feel sick, I can run, I can **** etc...

[Gemmer-x]

I used to but i quit. Wasn't anything serious mind you, i wasn't addicted. The temptation's still there though, especially when i've had a drink.

But I know it's bad don't worry. But if you must not do something because it's bad then stay home, don't watch TV, don't go out, don't drive, don't eat, don't go on the computer, don't play video games...

And I tried once for fun the Nicorette gums...it's sick.

None of that ruins your health except food but you have to eat shitly for it to ruin your health. I don't even see how its nice anyway. It smells and is ugly. I can't even imangine what kissing a smoker is like :|. eww.

But what I meant is like we shouldn't drive because we can have an accident, we can't play videos games because it's bad for eyes.... There are plenty of things like that, smoking is one of them.

Of course it smells but you get used to it, you deal with it, you eat gums and do stuff like that.

Anyway, I think we've had this discussion like 10 times lol

This topic was made for statistical purposes, not so non-smokers could lecture smokers about the dangers.

I'm an educated woman and I used to smoke. I'm not stupid. I knew the dangers. I've done a lot of things which carry risks.

The same goes for people who currently smoke. They're adults and capable of making their own decisions. They are all perfectly aware of the dangers. Some wish to quit, and some don't.

It's arrogant of non-smokers to badger smokers to quit when they've clearly stated they have no desire to. So, stop it.

Of course it's bad, your age doesn't matter as long as you are responsible and aware of the risks. I started smoking at 16 and I perfectly knew what it implied.
Considering that, it's up to you to practice sports and to keep up a good health.

Sam, as a smoker, I have much more experience and I can tell you this is healthier than cigarette as far as cancer and all the other risks cigarettes imply.
It's illegal for some different reasons but you have to know that, when you have a cancer, doctors advice you to smoke a spliff and you'll feel much better, and it's true.

And you're 14, you don't know what will happen, relax and take a fag. :hugesmile: (Jokiiing)

I have no problem with normal cigarettes.
When things are illegal, I will draw the line there.
They are illegal for a reason and shouldn't be condoned.

Marijuana isnt illegal for health purposes its when its over used its dangerous, or when people use it when they shouldnt. If you use it in the garden with a couple of friends after a night out and get a bit giddy off it whats the harm? It can be fun, I went into a laughing fit for about 2 hours with my friends and it was the best night out for me. Its only harmful if its used wrongly, I aint stupid. Im not some kind of druggie, but I know how to let my hair down now and again and just have a good time.

[hannah.]

On the marijuana argument, of course it's illegal for good reasons, but cigarettes would be illegal as well if the government didn't make so much money from them.
My mum's just given up weed, she's been smoking it every day for as long as I can remember, and she's fine. Her memory's a bit crap, but other than that she has no health problems at all, let alone anything that could be related to it.
I think people need to realise that just because something's legal/illegal it doesn't make it hugely good or bad, a lot of laws are really out of date now, and I think it's a bit stupid not to do something just because it's illegal.
I know that sounds ridiculous, especially when it's about drugs, but I think people should make up their own minds about whether or not they should do something, and the only way you can make an informed decision on whether or not something's good for you or your life is to try it.

Having said all that, I don't smoke weed regularly at all, purely because it makes me feel like a complete moron, but in the right situation and with the right people it can be fun, the same as most other things.

[Nutters22000]

I tried weed years ago but it never did anything for me apart from mong me out lol. Rather have a pint of lager:spin2:

[andyman]

Making a drug illegal does more harm than good!

Just think if cola was made illegal, people will still want it.. Supply and demand will be there and crooks will always fill that space making money and making the cola in unsafe factories to make the cola!

Its the same with cannabis, its illegal so its pushed underground into the hands of crooks, plus the drug is being made stronger that does more harm! Would you buy a can of cola made in a unsafe illegal factory? As hannah said many laws are out of date and some laws should never have been made, panic and political reasons many many years ago.
People will continue to smoke it legal or illegal but one fact is that crooks are making the profits.. I would want the government to make the profits in tax revenue to put back into the country and with it being legal it can be controled and made safe!

[Nutters22000]

The goverment would make a fortune if they taxed all drugs:colour:

[hannah.]

the problem is if they legalised weed everyone would be stoned for a year or so
and then obviously it would die down

[StevieG]

I smoke about 10-15 a day, and easily more on a night out.

I smoke because I love smoking. Simple really. I am sure one day I will quit, when I feel like it....

50% of life long smokers lose a few years due to smoking, so its abit of a gamble really, just like it is to drive on a busy motorway...

I wonder how many of the anti-smoking brigade on here drink alcohol??? It damages your liver you know :whistle:

Binge drinking is dangerous, and anybody who partakes in that has no right to be lecturing a smoker.

But i like to have a drink, though i dont like having to much drink because of bad hangovers, and training ..

Cafe Culture... It can work over here. Tabacco is legal and does more harm, if tabacco was illegal then it would be even more harmfull.. Same with weed, it needs to be controled, illegal does not work at all!

Of course it does- people laugh at others if they're wearing crap/unstylish clothes ...

Steroids is only as bad a smoking or drinking a few days a week unless you get a bad reaction...

but thats illegal and looked down upon..

Don't really get why some things are legal some not.

They shrink your willy as well :joker:

Also what some people don't realise with smoking is if you quit then your lungs can regenerate and almost go back to how they were before because you cough up the tar etc or whatever, but with alcohol any damage to your liver is permanent.

I've never smoked in my life but a few of my relatives have.

Tom, how awfully shallow of you... :P

Sam, it was a joke.. don't take it seriously... I already called you a label-***** in the pic thread.. figured you'd realise this wasn't meant in a bad way either..

Hannah, this post is spot on...


"On the marijuana argument, of course it's illegal for good reasons, but cigarettes would be illegal as well if the government didn't make so much money from them.
My mum's just given up weed, she's been smoking it every day for as long as I can remember, and she's fine. Her memory's a bit c**p, but other than that she has no health problems at all, let alone anything that could be related to it.
I think people need to realise that just because something's legal/illegal it doesn't make it hugely good or bad, a lot of laws are really out of date now, and I think it's a bit stupid not to do something just because it's illegal.
I know that sounds ridiculous, especially when it's about drugs, but I think people should make up their own minds about whether or not they should do something, and the only way you can make an informed decision on whether or not something's good for you or your life is to try it.

Having said all that, I don't smoke weed regularly at all, purely because it makes me feel like a complete moron, but in the right situation and with the right people it can be fun, the same as most other things.

It needs to be put on prescription at least, as a form of tablet. People like my own mum could really use it as a pain relief.

Needs to be legal full stop! It's doing more harm being illegal, would we take paracetamol made in a illegal factory? No i don't think we would but the old out of date law is making people do so with what they smoke.
The drug needs to be legal, licenced and grown safely for use.. Right now its not so and doing more harm to those that use it, some of it is too strong and mixed with other stuff to make it stronger!
Tabacco is legal, alcohol is legal... If they was made illegal would people stop using? It would be pushed underground to fund crooks and do more harm to users!

Being legal will control the drug, educate people about the drug, take away the money out of the crooks pockets, will give the government more tax revenue to put back into the uk...
The law was used to make it illegal not to protect human health, other political reasons that are now in the past and out of date.

Making it legal will not bring the downfall of civilization and make the sky to fall down.
