Do not start smoking..

Here is the deal,

Smoking reduces the quality not quantity of life.

To be fair it is possible for some people, if they don't smoke that much to begin with.

Cigarettes contain numerous addictive substances, objectively speaking. You could be addicted and you don't even know it.
The only way to find out is to quit, then you get to see if you're really addicted or not.

Well sure, but some people actually do quit for months at a time or forever completely cold turkey with little issue.

> smoke free
> still smokes on "weekends"

Dat logic tho

Thats nutin'

It shouldn't be caused by smoking though. Sure it probably affected your immunity system but it's the middle of flu season so no wonder you caught it.
Severe symptoms should pass in 3-4 days as for most of people. Last year I also had higher than 40°C, ended up in ER and all I got was a blood test and lay on their bed for hours.
If you got the blood test, what was your CRP?
(btw Paracetamol is usually ineffective for such high temperatures)

I wasn't taking to ER, they just syringed me Analgin.
For the past few days I was having temperatures up to 38 - 38.5
Seeing my doctor this morning.

When I was 5 years old, my dad purposely left a pack of cigarettes on the table within reach of me and my brothers. My brother had the idea to try one, of course being the youngest of the crew I tagged along. To put a long story short, it was the worst experience of my life and because of it to this day I don't smoke cigarettes.

My mother once did the same, and she caught me smoking my 2nd back when I was 14 years old. I liked it since then.

Fair point.

How same? My father cought me while smoking when I was enjoying it in my room. I was 14 years old.
Since then, I'm smoking and it's been almost four years now.

My father's close friend (who I also knew personally) died from something that was caused by smoking too many cigarettes.

the cigarro monster yes

[TruthSvensson]

From the substance itself, no.
From actions after using that drug, yes.

Can you elaborate "actions after using that drug" please? Not going to advocate weed usage, just curious. Because from my observations and experience on "actions after smoking weed" are limited to watching stuff, laughing, talking and eating.

It depends on what you call positive.
Loss of cencentration, loss of ability to memorize things, lower reaction speed, inability to cope with stress without usage.
Does not really seem very positive ot me, but to each his own...

There's nothing more needed to say.

[TruthSvensson]

That doesn't answer my question. It has nothing to do with what you said. If you don't want to answer, that's fine.

My stoner friends are actually pretty cool when high. Never saw an instance of violence lead by smoking it to be honest.
