Now proven Smokers get Strokes
due the the blood infected by your deadly toxic smoke. [Smoking is the major cause of premature death, with one in two smokers dying prematurely from smoking related diseases, and it is extremely worrying that people still underestimate the health harms associated with it.] http://news.sky.com/story/1187952/an...argets-addicts Last edited by arista; 29-12-2013 at 09:48 AM. |

Me too Cherie....although these things are usually only vile to non and ex smokers. When I was a smoker, I would never look at these types of articles (or think that it would happen to me)

Good point! I think if you are an older smoker then you probably think it's too late to give up and the newer smokers think they are invincible as you say.

I have a question for smokers/ex-smokers... what made you start? I'm not a smoker, just always wondered why smokers start because after a while almost every smoker I know has then started saying "I wish I'd never started, I'm going to quit" or "I'm trying to quit"...

I started to 'experiment', see how it was like and all that. Plus I didn't fancy being a loner when everyone else nipped out for a fag, LOL.

I started because I thought it was quite glamourous, I was only 13m didnt start properly smoking until about 17 and never at home....I was more of a social smoker, and never felt the need to light up as soon as I got up. I found it quite easy to give up and have not smoked since my early 20s.

Yup. And I'll continue because I enjoy it. Smoking undeniably contains grave health consequences, no one's disputing that, but you have to understand that beyond the ill-effects and addiction there are some people out there who simply like it.
Sounds retarded but that's honestly the clearest I can put it. Balancing out pros and cons etc. Last edited by Redway; 30-12-2013 at 11:54 AM. |

By the time this reality dawns on many, it will be too late. Scary how some refuse to learn from the increased advances in medical knowledge. Last edited by sassysocks; 30-12-2013 at 12:35 PM. |

It's not due lack of information of how cigarettes damage your body that people chose to smoke. They knew they could get addicted and risked it so just let they do whatever they want with their lifes as long as they respect non-smokers. This whole demonization of smokers annoys me and I don't even smoke.

Never saw the 'coolness' myself of standing outside the school gates in the middle of winter trying to spark up in the wind with a near empty plastic sh*tty lighter you had the abnormally big lad with the facial hair get you from the corner shop.

Eating junk food is the major cause of premature death not smoking
and premature death is only caused by cigarettes if some nerd decides to tell me to put it out lol

I've been a non smoker now for over 10yrs, stopping on and off through my 20s. I had my first cig at 17 as a goth trying to look all mysterious and stuff.
I'm now addiction free (finally), I do believe in how some swop one addiction for another though.

Smokers have had to look at pictures of diseased lungs for decades... looking forward to the pictures of diseased livers on the labels of bottles of booze any day now... and pictures of breathless, morbidly obese people on any product with processed sugar or fat in it. I'm sure they'll have as much impact as the latest anti-smoking pictures.
