Yes, I am a smoker.

Giving up? Trying..And I hate to admit it, but im addicted.

I tried smoking a few years ago and hated it, nothing against people who do smoke though, quite a few of my friends do and they try to stop but where they have been addicted for so long they end up carrying on.

No gis a bag of crisps

here ye go scoobs..... *passes the crisps*

eeewww i hate smoking
it's a discusting habit that ruins your health
but one thing i have to say is that i dont hate smokers
because my best friend is a smoker and my grandfather

aww rather have a vodka thanks mate

ACTUALLY GUYS HERE'S WHAT II HAVE TO SAY....



you're all going against smoking here. Myself included.


Why don't you think about the alcohol abuse etc that goes on amongst teenagers. It's not used socially and it's also a drug.

Cigarettes on the other hand can be enjoyed socially and don't affect your daily functions...


I bet there is not a single person here which doesn't drink or get drunk at parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly Sully which is the thing that annoys me, alcohol can damage you aswell and those who say 'smoking is disgusting and can ruin your health' - i hope none of you drink either as that can ruin your health too and some think that is also disgusting. I hope we have no hypocrites on here. :wink:

It is all about choice and people say about you could die BUT also you could live a happy, healthy life. Why step foot out of the house, you could get hit by a bus. :shocked:

Btw, i do smoke yeah and get annoyed by a lot of people's comments about it.

Also, people talk about passive smoking when in public places etc and complain or roll there eyes if you are smoking by them, do they not realise they are free to go right away from me? They moan about passive smoking but would rather stay there and carry on passive smoking whilst rolling there eyes rather than to stop passive smoking and fook off somewhere else. Why should we move just cause we have a cig in our hand?

Anyhow, rant over. :spin:

Bit hypocritical if thats the only reason you don't hate them.

Anyway, smokers have a choice. They're not imbociles and they're not smoking against their own will. Everything can damage your health - right now you're inhaling dangerous fumes. When you step out the house you could also come to as much harm.

Saying that; I don't smoke, never have.

smoking drinking doing drugs and junk food are all bad but most of us do one

so you cant say 'smoking is stuid' the do and drink and eat junk food
well you can its just wrong

anyway i dont smoke

Yeah, good point

Brilliant point Simon :thumbs:

No. I tried it once and it was sick ,.

I dont smoke and have neither tried it

I gave up smoking 4 days ago :laugh: it is hard going but after 20 years I decided now was the right time for me to stop.

There have been some wonderful comments on here about people stopping - I wish it was that easy. Nicotene is one of the most addictive drugs in the world so it is no easy task to just give up. I am wearing patches and using an inhalator but it is still hard going.

You have to be really ready to stop to succeed - I am using every support available including smoking cessation group and family support and encouragment. That said who knows what tomorrow will bring so I am taking it one day at a time as a current non smoker!!

lol thanks

Ooo I really don't mind never smoked and I don't intend to (cos I'm scared of fire and I don't want stinky breath!) but if anyone here smokes that's their choice it must be really horrible to be addicted and it isn't really right to talk about it cos people might be upset :sad:

No never tried it I hate it

I didnt smoke for 3 Months then i had my first one again on Monday.
The weird thing i dont really like it when im having one but i just crave them now.

It costs a lot How much now for a pack of twenty???

I became asthmatic when I was a little baby because of a woman who was sitting next to my mum on the ferry from France to England. She smoked the entire time, the ferry was packed and my mum was exhausted. So I just breathed in all this smoke into my lungs, and apparently this triggered my asthma. So, in effect, passive smoking gave me asthma. Which is why I am so deeply against smoking. Whenever I walk past someone smoking in the street, I hold my breath and count to five after I've walked past them. Then I breathe again. I really hate it, I do not understand what the attraction is. People KNOW what it does to you. Anyone pleading ignorance is lying. We've all seen the TV campaigns, and we all know about the lung cancer. And yes, I know it's addictive, but why bother in the first place? It's expensive, deadly and the withdrawal symptoms are terrible!

Awww that's really bad... :sad:

I smoke, but i do and don't enjoy it, don't enjoy it because sometimes it gives me bad throat and headaches and i do enjoy it because when i drink i like to smoke and when im stressed out it also helps, oh and also its great to have one in the morning.

Lolz I'll forgive ya. :tongue: My dad smokes but I don't see him much

my hubby does and i follow him around with the air freshener
