Do you Smoke?
 

I just wanted to know what people think about smoking and if you do or dont somke

No.Smoking is a pet hate of mine.I can't stand it.Don't know why people would smoke when they know it is so bad for them!

No its minging

I'm familiar with smoking - some of my family members smoke (my dad used to as well) and quite a lot of my friends do it too.

In my case, I guess I'm 'I did, but not anymore' - I've tried smoking with friends, but it was my choice to stop doing it - it's not like there was any peer pressure involved or anything, because I don't stand for it.

It's basically all down to choice - I don't think it's disgusting, it's just something people choose to do and then it becomes a habit.

If I said I hated it, I'd be going against quite a lot of people I know, so I don't really have a problem with it! :thumbs:

Sorry in advance to people that smoke! But I have quite strong views on this subject!

I have to agree with Laura (Princess) on this one.

What is the point of smoking? To make you feel good about yourself? Living long enough to see my children grow up and enjoy their lives will make me feel good about myself! :bigsmile:

Smoking is dirty, smelly and pointless. Why not just crouch down onto a road and eat some newly-laid tar? It'll be just about as good for you!

Perhaps my views come from the fact that whenever someone smoked near me when I was younger, I would get a nasty eye infection. I was once told that if I ever smoked, I could put serious strain on my internal organs, due to an otherwise un-noticed heart condition. I just don't see what people want to achieve by smoking, it's just an utter waste of good money.

I do realise that peer pressure plays a part in some people taking up smoking, but at the end of the day, it's your life, live it how you want to: just say no! Let's face it, if your "mates" force you to try a cigarette, and you don't want to, a true "mate" would respect that.

Ok, rant over! So, to summarise: No! Lool! :tongue:

I personally dont understand smoking

Wasting money, killing yourself?
Isnt it eaiser just to spend your money on a big knife..?

It would certainly end the suspense, eh!? :hugesmile:

No, I've tried it a couple times and it made me feel dizzy and want to throw up. :bored:

well I think smoking is quite gross.
Don't know why people bother starting when

A) They know it won't make you look more mature (in the attitude sense).
B) It costs £1500 a year if you buy like 1 pack a day. Yes I know the adverts say this, but I actually calculated it too.
C) It stinks.
D) You die basically.


I know boys who smoke cos they think its cool. I know they in fact hate it cos they don't even inhale the smoke. They're just trying to "up" their status when in actual fact, it really doesnt!

I won't judge you any less apart from the fact you'll have minging teeth, smelly clothes and its your choice if you want a shorter lifespan ahead of you!

Never have done. Never will. It's disgusting.

ohand also it gives you a really croaky voice!!!!!


Not very foxy:thumbs:

I smoke yes

Ummm
Im telling on you

yak!

I've never smoked in my life and I never will,even if I didn't have asthma, I just don't see the point in it.

Yeah I guess people do have strong views! :rolleyes:

I don't share them, personally...(lol my post seems to have been followed by quite a few rants. :hugesmile:)

surely people realise its rotten before they can get addicted...


That's what really bugs me.

Only when im drinking
And people saying 'yak' is annoying its my choice
Deal with it
I know the risks

I was only joking :sad:

same with mine. I don't let it bother me though

Exactly Ella, that's what I don't understand; people who do it CHOOSE to do it. I think we're the only two who don't have that much of a problem with it (even though I don't do it anymore).

One word and you get angry?
Woah.
Sorry then

What I dont understand is, people who smoke, then people ask them to stop etc, and they get stressy.

I know its your choice, but they are trying to help..

I wasnt talking about you baby :love:

Oh :laugh:

she was talking about me :thumbs:

They don't want help though. They've chosen to do it! :rolleyes:

It just pi**es me off, people moan about people smoking,
But its THERE choice, if they want to smoke let them smoke
Its no one elses buisness, thats all im trying to say
I only started smoking after one of my good friends died, and im not using that as an excuse at all, but having a cig made me forget the pain for like 5 minutes :sad:

Hope I haven't p'd everyone off with my rant!! :blush2:

Loads of my mates smoke, and I respect them for who they are, it's just not my personal choice, I suppose!

Maybe my thoughts would be different if it wouldn't have such a profound effect on my health. :rolleyes:

I didnt mean to snap sorry :sad:

That's what I keep saying over and over, they CHOOSE do it lmao. I stopped, yeah, but loads of my friends still do it and obviously they know what they're going into, it's just their choice! Smoking has never been one of my 'rant' subjects (lmao not like a certain Ms Loos...:rolleyes:)

well my parents smoke.

And I have nothing against them.

So I wouldn't take my comments personally. And like I said, I don't judge anyone any less for doing it.

Its a touchy subject with me
Sorry if i snap at anyone

While I don't see the point in people smoking I don't really care that they do, my dad's smoked for all my life and I've never really had a problem with it or told him to stop, it's his own personal choice and if he want's to mess with his health then so be it.

It's not like we're talking about MAJOR drugs or anything. AND
Millions of people smoke from their own choice.


So don't worry about it being touchy. :thumbs:

It's a touchy subject with most people, me included.

Basically the poll just asked for my answer, I gave it....:spin2:

My vote has been counted and verified and I can now reveal I picked the option....



*long pause*



I did, but not anymore

Exactly! well said :thumbs:

No I don't never have done my dad has all my life and I hated the smell of it as a child and apparently although I don't remember I would actually stay away from him when he smoked when I was yound and would make him go and wash before I went anywhere near him again as I hated the smell so much :laugh:I am not that fussy now though well MUCH :blush2::tongue::laugh:

I'm with Elz here.... i smoke!!!!!!!!!!! I hold my hands up high and wait to be shot!!!!!!!!!

I quit when I was about 22 then I started again due to partying reasons.... stopped when i was expecting... then went back to a very stressful job and started..... I hate the fact i do it.... but I love doing it at the same time.

I know what it does to me... I'm an adult.... I read the news... but I cant stop just yet!

I will..... strangely I have the ability to stop if I put my mind to it..... but things are tough here so i wont.... ha ha ha ha ha! Sorry to all you non smokers but the smokers out there will know what I'm talking about!
