comfortably confused Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 5036 | ExtraodinaryGirl:i dont think it relaxes me, i can understand why people say that though, it takes your mind of the stress cause in hand, i dont see why people cant find something else to do instead. Also you cannot compare smoking to slitting your wrists, believe me, they are nothing alike. Yes i sposse smoking is a form of slow of suicide but slitting your wrists is extreme. anyway all i mentioned was that it seemed like she was saying "im not smoking so im not going to get cancer" thats all oh and i have to slip this in, i have completly cut down on smoking, i used to smoke about 20 a day and now im on about 4 or 5, hopefully soon ill be stopping ![]() |

comfortably confused Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 5036 | XxXflowerfairyXxX:people dont smoke for the fun of it, they're not after a high they are addicted to the nicotine, thats what brings them back, and the enjoyment of a cigarette. |

comfortably confused Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 5036 | XxXflowerfairyXxX:everyone has their own reasons. There isnt just one out there. i only started due to peer pressure, i was 13, now i enjoy it, although i am trying hard to quit >.< im doing ok so far, ive cut down a hell of a lot and the encouragment from my friends is helping ![]() i have been smoking weed everyday for the past 5 years, its not always that good (i have my reasons why i do it) |
[XxXflowerfairyXxX] King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 2728 | comfortably confused: I guess mostly it's just peer pressure... After a while you become more resistant tothe effects of weed which kinda sucks but it's great while your still 13 and weigh very little ![]() |
comfortably confused Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 5036 | XxXflowerfairyXxX:im not 13 ![]() but for the reason i do it everyday it still helps it just makes me sad that its the only thing that will help. |

Speechless&Redundant Geek ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 177 | I dont see the point in smoking...when you smoke your basically saying hmmm this is fun who cares if im killing myself in the process or if Im smoking around people who cares if I could be hurting them 2...i get people are addicted to it and feel that they cant stop but their is always a way to stop doing something even if its really hard it is possible I have many reasons not to smoke, like my family history, my moms entire family (mom, sister, father) have died of cancer, and my dads side of the family has a cancer pattern aswell...not all from lung cancer but a large percentage of them. I get their is a possiblity of me getting some other form of cancer but I certanely will not choose the type of cancer I get. My idiot sister on the other hand knows all of this but continue's to smoke because she says "My life is to stressful I need this"...her life is about as stressful as a dogs...she is a dumbshit who wants to die! |
ancient Had A Life Before GSB ![]() Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 29697 ![]() | It's weird because the packages that my mom and sister get say nothing about getting lung cancer. Nope. Never seen it. But it does have this thing saying "Get more miles by buying more ciggarettes!!" and then the fucking company sends you a thing saying what you can get from the miles if you collect them. Everytime I see one in the mail I throw it out before my sister gets home. God I HATE Marlboro... I hate Salem.. fuck I hate them all!!!!! And I've figured something out. I think that kids with parents that do smoke aren't as apt (i never knew if that was a word.. and right now I'm using it as one) to smoke because they see what it's doing to their moms and/or dads and baboom they generally think "I don't wanna end up like that!". |

ExtraodinaryGirl Jackass ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1420 | EternallyYours-yah right-: Any tobacco company that doesn't put the Surgeons General Warning on is breaking a law and could be shut down very easily. That seems like it makes sense, but it's been scientifically(sp?)proven that kids with parents who smoke are more likely to smoke. Mostly because it's easier to get and they aren't taught that it's bad. And also, the smoking/cutting wrist comparison makes perfect sense. Both are suicide. Both are extreme. One is just faster than the other. And one is also better for your health and the health of people around you than the other. |

Natalie. Idiot ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 556 | in the uk they r plannin 2 ban smokin in public places. i was reading an argument against that. What they said was a load of lies. They should ban smoking altogether, it would reduce the amount of people getting cancer dramatically. Also what about passive smoking? |
ExtraodinaryGirl Jackass ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1420 | zzZnAtZzz: It isn't illegal in public places already? That's insane. And I def. agree that smoking should be banned. What I don't get is that pot is illegal, right? Smoking is MORE harmful than pot. Smoking is MORE harmful than a pretty fair amount of illegal drugs, it's also a HELL of a lot more addictive. And yet for drugs, there are rehab clinics and laws against them, where are the rehab clinics for smokers? Where are the laws against smoking? And people can say that even if it were illegal, people would still smoke, that's true, but how many less people would smoke if it were illegal? Making smoking illegal would decrease: (A)the amount of people who smoke, and (B)the fact that there are so many places you can smoke. Along with that, you wouldn't see people sitting on their porches smoking a cigarette if it were illegal, which would in turn do less harm to the enviornment and to other people if smokers only smoked in private. |
