I actually love smoking and I DON'T KNOW WHY. Not much beats the feeling of a fag after dinner. I've tried to quit so many times. I got food poisoning at Christmas and was in bed for literally 2 weeks and managed to stop smoking then for around a month. Then I just started again for no reason. So my answer will be: I smoke because I'm a weak person with no will power. (At least that's honest right!)
stimulant? i feel like throwing up from the taste alone. then again i dont "feel" red bull of coffee either
Yes, Nicotine is a stimilant. Just like caffeine, it may take more for you to feel it. http://blogs.webmd.com/adhd-medications-and-treatments/2006/04/long-acting-stimulants.html
djacobs, sounds like you smoke. I am sorry if you do. Most smokers live in a constant state of denial. They deny they smoke because they are addicted. You have to understand, you are not just talking about nicotine. There are over 3000 different chemical compounds in cigarette smoke. That is astounding. They even put arsnic in your cigarettes. It is unbelievable the crap they put in a cigarette. But, what is more troubling is our governments allow them to do so. Death due to complications from smoking is the number one killer in the United States. The only way you can truly quit is to first admit that you have an addiction. You will never be able to succeed if you do not understand what you are facing. Good Luck.
Thanks Guys for your wonderful replies... Hope this thread helps others also.. If any one in our DP member still want to share his/her view i will be blessed.. Thanks once again .. Rohit
For me smoking is just like a sin and i even dont talk to those who smoke. As far as reason is concerned i believe there is no specific reason behind it. People smoke just because of frustration, for fun, for sharing etc etc.... but all this is really rubbish!! one should not smoke, thats what i will say always!! In simple words: DONT KILL YOURSELF BY SMOKING
I'm not in denial. I just could be doing worse things than smoking a couple cigarettes a day. But yeah, I know it's not the best thing I could be doing.
I am now addicted to smoke, thats why.. earlier it was for fun, then stress buster, now becomes killer for me. I wish I could quit one day.
Because they think that smoking will calm them down if they are nervous, also they smoke when they became upset because of life matters. Myself I don't like the smoke of the cigarette. I hate smoking...
People smoke because it's enjoyable, and gives you a small high in what is generally a very mundane and boring life. I totally loved smoking. But I gave up in 2001. Now I'm as dull as dishwater. I plan to take up smoking again if I make it to 50.
some people smoke to get tension free (this is not true though) and some people i know smoke to impress the girls
yeah i think smoking is first fun than necessity of the life.. but in my sense smoking is injurious to health... Please Avoid Smoking..
Smoking is a freaking bad habit. It's not cool and has nothing "kewl" about. If anyone who, does not smoke and is considering to start or even try for once, is reading this; DON'T!!!!! I mean it. DON'T. Trust me, you will regret it.
