Do not start smoking..

[Huntsman]

There is some truth behind it though.
Drugs can actually give you some interesting experiences, compared to cigarettes who don't give you close to the same effect as other stuff. Cigarettes is a waste of money, while drugs, in some cases is certainly not!

In my case, they were not useless. They helped me calmed down which is very important through the constant stressful routine I go through . But I'll rather be nervous than dead .

You're f**king 17 years old. Please...

And also, if you think that smoking is better or healthier or w/e than consuming alcohol than you're out of your mind.

In some cases, yes.

Considering todays standarts, I'm "lame".

You are. You just smoked a cigarette, lol.

It's all in the mind, believing that making use of something like smoking will actually reduce stress.

[Sweeper]

Thank you.

This.

If you believed a glass of milk will calm you down then it'll probably do the trick. It's not in what you use, but what you believe in

Every body reacts to poison differently. Ones die quick, while others die a slow and painful death

And to add to that, one must know that it will eventually get to you. You don't get to put poisonous chemicals into your system everyday and expect your body to let you get away with it.

Soft drugs are basically smoking. And I'm not even going to begin talking about serious drugs (injections, powder inhaling)..

I pity those who use drugs to cope with stress. Good that you made the right decision.

On a side note, drinking alcohol with moderation is proven to be healthy for the body and mind. (only if you're older than 18 or in some cases, 21 )

That's so true.
When I am stressed, I smoke a lot more, so yeah it's not actually reducing stress, it's just you thinking of that more and more and smoking.

Quitting it is the best thing somebody can do, unless you like it so much like I do. :P

99 percent of all life time smokers die of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and my grandparants was no exception.

5 percent of world wide population is affected on COPD(329 million people) and 3 million people die every year. Making it the third biggest cause of human death.

All this is often related to smokers or people who live/work in very dusty areas(unhealthy places)

"The number of deaths is projected to increase due to higher smoking rates and an aging population in many countries. It resulted in an estimated economic cost of $2.1 trillion in 2010."

11,851,044,198Cigarettes smoked today
585,867Deaths caused by smoking this year
293,118Deaths caused by alcohol this year

I watched my dad slowly die over the year since he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Trust me, this isn't something that you want to go through, or have your future family go through it as well.


Now, I don't care if you guys smoke or whatever.. that's your choice. To those who are thinking to start smoking... think real hard, there's other ways to relieve stress.

[Gandalf]

Your death must have some cause, so at least enjoy it....

Now I am one of the very few who has never tried smoking (just lived with people who did) nor any type of drugs. That is except alcohol, which in general has very little effect on me. while not experiencing the 'good side'people talk about which somehow I believe will not be in my capability to experience, I have seen the negative effects of all type of drugs up close.
And believe me even the mildest drugs can make someone a completely different person without them noticing.

Try to do what I do and do not be influenced by any type of drug, keep your mind clear and calm.
 Before taking anything look at people around you who use it and try to notice how different they behave. Do not like what you see? remember you will become like them.

You just have angina, though if you're considering to start smoking just don't, you don't really want to struggle the effects in the future and you also don't want to see your family seeing you in such condition...

Now that I posted anyway, why don't you consult a medical professional if you're worried about your health?

Hey there. I just wanted to share my not so nice expierence about cigarettes and the devil in smoke it brings.
So basically, the last few weeks were very stressful to me with certain events that took place in real life, and I resorted to most desperate measures of calming myself down. Yup. Cigarettes. I didn't get used to them, thank God I've been gifted with some kind of addication resistant ability (I was drinking coffee like water for like 5 months but after noticing it impacts my blood pressure, I've stopped and don't have any withdrawal headaches or other side effects of like four weeks now, hehe). Anyhow, lately I've started exercising at my rich ass friend who has a freaking gym in his basement, and I've been exercising very hard for two days, and after each exercise we'd have a cigarette. Now the fact is, during all these flu epidemics which take place at this time of the year in Lithuania I would usually never succumb to them. But as you all know, Cigarettes have a very negative impact on your immune system. So today I woke up with temperature, a sore throat and dry (most likely due to smoking) and an awful pain in the muscles i exercised due to the fact that having a flu and having just exercised is not a very nice mix. So, kids, stay away from cigarettes. Drink milk. Peace.

Man I am 25 years old and we're smoking with Pablo for 14 years. It did nothing to us :P
