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

[Princess]

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!

[Chrizzle]

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!

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!

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!

[Chrizzle]

I personally dont understand smoking

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

[Pipergun]

It would certainly end the suspense, eh!?

[sol]

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

[EugeneSully]

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 Ł1500 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!

[Lance]

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

[EugeneSully]

[Dan_]

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.

[Bells]

Yeah I guess people do have strong views!

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

[EugeneSully]

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


That's what really bugs me.

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

[Bells]

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

[Chrizzle]

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..
