I just can't understand people these days who smoke even though they know how bad it is for their health and they can die from it in later life. Who wants to inhale smoke anyway?
Peer pressure? The image? Maybe people should be told that they will get ugly from smoking, rather than telling them that they will die.
The image, who wants to be say 78 and have a fag in their mouth. It looks dirty *no offence incase there is people on this forum doing that* =/
Why smoke? Because just like any other recreational drug - it makes you feel good. But just like everything else that is fun, it also kills you I gave up smoking in 2001.
Good for you man, good to hear. I made someone stop smoking, just kept ranting at them about how bad it looks etc and it seemed to work! =) But I don't see how someone good like a smoke on their first go, it is horrible your first drag on a ciggeratte.
It feels good, it looks cool, and it prevents you from being a feeble 100-year-old getting pushed around in a wheelchair and not knowing what's going on. Remember, not everyone wants to live forever.
I used to work like a machine back when I smoked. I could do a weeks work in 20 hours straight at the pc with coffee and cigarettes.
Ya but what good is technology when you are dead. I mean let's say you live to 100.. and then what? You are theoretically dead....
I'll guess you'll be long gone when all of the non smokers become 'seniors' and start enjoying the crazy drugs of the future. The 2050s are gonna be one wild seniors orgy
Hate to tell you but smoking is definitely no longer seen as being cool (was it ever) If you want to have a smoke at a public place anywhere these days, you gotta head outside and freeze your balls Not cool...
I don't smoke, but i "snusar" swedish tobaco thingy you put it under your lip.. anyways why? Uhm makes me less tired... tastes good. My neigbour is 80+ and he smoke his whole life, no horrible side effects for him. Oh well why not smoke? If you enjoy it i see nothing wrong with it.
Either A) People are already addicted to it or B) They started / are at a young (and dumb) age. I think once you get up into your 20's even, you realize that smoking is unattractive. You begin to get out of the "I have to be cool" phase.
Deeply engraved habits, addiction that kinda thing. I'm on and off on and off. Althought I know all the risks and often get sick I'm addicted to the "pull"!
