Do you smoke cigarettes?

[White Raven]

So do ya?

Why or why not?

(And I'm talking aboot just cigarettes, but you may expand the subject if you want.)

Personally I think that it's a sick habit, and a cigarette has never touched my lips. Though countless puffs have gone into my lungs thanks to other smokers.

When I was a kid I always told my dad "If you don't stop smoking, I will start!" so when I was 15 I started smoking.

It didn't work though. I quit shortly after turning 18. It wasn't hard to quit.

I smoked cigaretts from age 10 - 14. I started off with one every now and then, only when i was with other smokers. It was a sort of trend thing. I didn't like it at all. They taste fowl. at some point when i was 15 my mother caught me and decided to use her own scare tactics to make me stop. I haven't smokes a cigarett since. Though i do smoke a cinamon stick every once in a while. Has a nice tangy after taste.

I tried a cigarette once and I don't see what the fuss is about.

[Polyonymous]

i have never smoked but my mom and dad do, and that is the reason i will never start.

[Kirobaito]

No. I never will. Quite possible the most digusting, worthless thing a person can do with their lives.

[Giga Guess]

Nope. Never, Uh-uh, no chance. Can't stand the thought of voluntarily inhaling noxious fumes (So sayeth the lad who worked a year and a half in a shop....full of noxious fumes....voluntarily.) But to those who do, your choice. Go right ahead.

I smoked cigaretts from age 10 - 14.

That's insane.

I've never smoked a cigarette. I've never even held one and I never plan on starting. I don't see why anyone smokes and I don't see why they even exist.

Those Crazy world commercials got to me and the Truth ones. My older sis was trying to get me to some the other day and I told her no she's an idiot. I also hate the smell of smoke it makes me sick.

[SomethingBig]

Those crazy world commercials are the best commercials ever. Don't argue. I love the radiation people one.

Well, like i said, i never liked doing it. It was a social thing. More peer pressure than anything else. I know that's no excuse for it. But there ya go. I didn't feel like being excluded from the only group of people in my age group that would tollerate me. Notice i said tollerate and not accept. I was a bit of a loner, a social outcast. By joining the smokers, i had somewhere to go and people i had something in common with. But now i'm a healthy woung tigger with no intentions of returning to the dark and smoky side.

[Giga Guess]

Glad you've come to terms with that.

Nope, no cigarettes. I tried a Cigar once, but I didn't know what I was doing so I ended up swallowing the smoke. Blech.

It's a completely stupid habit that will get you nowhere in life but dead. It isn't doing anybody any good, and I don't understand why people do it. 'To look cool.' Does it look cool when you're out on the streets smoking, 45 years old but looking 60? I don't think so.

My mom used to smoke out in the side of my house with her friends, which happens to be right next to my window. So every night for three years, I had to have that stuff in my lungs. Yes, I know that I could have closed my window, but it always gets in the house, one way or another. Plus, I was too afraid that if I left the comfort of my bed, the boogie man would get me (i was about 7 at the time).

Don't do it. There's no reason to, you're just going to regret it later on, when it's to late. Have you ever met someone who said they were glad they started smoking? I wish they would make cigarettes illegal, but I know that won't happen. :shame:

[Psychotic]

Nope, but my friend who I used to walk to college with (He's gone now! Gone! No, not dead of lung cancer or anything...) did so maybe I kinda passively did off him, but it didn't really bother me.
