Flowers/Skysnail.. You do so effing much at a young age. I think people 1-18/16 shouldn't do that because it could harm their bodies while they're still developing PLUS you should know how many chemicals that are in nicotine that make it up. It's a lot. I don't believe in smoking is good at all because of how much harm it causes and I already get a bad cough being around smokers 12-16.

And really, you shouldn't encourage people either. ESPECIALLY if they're under the age of smoking. If you encourage them and they get addicted it causes a crep load of things to happen. Just saying.

..i'm suprised I got the urge to post once again on here o.o

As I hate smoking by myself I'll never start with it. It's just stupid why you would die for something that does nothing with you.. If anyone would ever Wan't to start smoking an cigarette.. think why you could need to die ~15 years before you could die?? f7

Hm.

I actually find this topic incredibly interesting and earlier was writing a long piece of writing about why I think all drugs should be legalised, but more on topic and what people have said.

At the drug table weed scores high for intoxication because it can trip, but also the fact that even without relatively high doses it permenantly damages your short term and long term memory less, causes psychosis, paranoia etc. In the family someone has permenant paranoia and stuff from having too much weed during teenage years to the extent that they don't leave the house :x

I smoke. I don't really care if other people dislike it or not because what I do to my own body in my own home really isn't anyone else's problem or right to judge, same with all other drugs. One thing I think about it though is it's heartbreaking to see 13 to 14 year old kids smoking when they're only like 4"9 years old, leave it a few years first when you've got less to lose. My grandma got a stroke last year so quit smoking because the doctors told her she'd die very quickly if she didn't, so she's stopped, she has no problem with me smoking & says that after 60 years she has no regrets, but would like to keep what she has now for longer. Note that with smoking after quitting your chances of getting CHD and some lung related diseases drop by over 50%, but some effects are permenant. I mean they put tar and cyanide in cigarettes ffs.

Why I smoke is mainly due to exam stress. I got prescribed some pills or something for exam times other wise i get really bad stomache aches, I thought It was just nicotine cravings but apparantly it's a relatively common thing for kids failing at school to get.

Before I started smoking 10-20 a day I used to just smoke socially at night clubs and when with a few friends at break and at lunch time, there were very few hooks as I was suprisingly tolleranttt. They made socialising better for me, they give you a nice buzz and it's always more fun to talk to people when you're smoking because you're not judging each other like everyone else in the world is with the "omg you dirty smoker."

I'm not encouraging smoking, I just think that it's someone's choice whether they want to start or not. There are adverts about how bad it is, there are quit lines, there are signs on the packet saying that SMOKING KILLS. To me, smoking in the morning at my gf's house with a cup of tea is the greatest feeling in the world.

People should relate to the episode of southpark when there's that guy stood outside the museum of tollerance smoking and they all come outside
"NO SMOKING INSIDE THE MUSEUM"
"I'm not I'm outside"
"Get out of here you dirty smoker!"
"yeah kill yourself somewhere else tar lungs!"

Reitterating what I said before; someone's own home, their own body, they're not harming anyone else.
There are even laws to prevent people from smoking inside and at a lot of public places.

Also, @ xejik nicotine is a single chemical in itself, it's an organic molecule made up of almost carbon and hydrogen. There are no chemicals in nicotine. In cigarettes however, there's the tobacco which is well... tobacco, that has the nicotine in it. You then have the filter, which has lots of nasty things in it like carbon monoxide and cyanide in it for example

@permaisland I agree with what you said about a main reason why people start smoking is from other people. I myself was introduced to smoking by my friend who had *gasp* 1 cigarette a day, super hardcore guy, but didnt like smoking alone so I always went with him and her offered me one. A few months later I was at the shops and decided I'd try and buy a pack of cigarettes, didnt get ID'd. Managed to smoke casually (as in one every other day or weekend or so, or sometimes a few in a day) without feeling any addiction or need to continue, I'd like to go back to that.

This talk has been nice. Afk smoke :D

Oops, I meant Tobacco sorry. Nicotine is just the addictive stuff inside the cigarette. But they don't really put chemicals in. It's within the tobacco plant/leaf/thing. So you can't help but have Cyanide and a hella lot more nasty things. It doesn't really help if you smoke outside and kids and people are about because that could harm them too. And that's why people might be concerned because it's not just your life.. it's others around you.

Hard to stop smoking once you've started, at least to some it's almost impossible.
Like me for example, what I once thought was gross became an addiction.
