I'm a non smoker because of several reasons:
1. I'm too cheap to buy cigarettes
2. If I start smoking my lungs will be full of tar that makes difficult to bread (it's ignorable to average joe but if you are sport's professional that makes HUGE differnce; I know a guy who was great rower and started smoking, he failed he could never reach as he used to be!)

Smoking is harmful. I do smoke. Although there is no scientific evidence of smoking causing cancer(I learnt cancer cells in zoology and this was told to us by our zoology lecturer who was a non smoker), it is evident it is harmful in some way or the other. I used to smoke around 1.5 packs a day and have now cut down to 4-5 cigs. I make sure that I don't smoke in crowded places if I can help it. I usually move away when I am smoking and someone whom I presume is a non smoker comes near me. Whether you choose to smoke or not is a matter of choice. But, I really can't stand it when non smokers spit on you the moment they come to know you smoke. A casual mention is enough and they start off. "U smoke?, you'll get cancer, this will happen, that will happen." And they can't help, but take a dig at you whenever you say anything related to smoking. I am not saying anything against non smokers posting in this thread. I can understand people saying things against smoking in this particular thread cos this thread was created to have the viewpoints of both smokers and non smokers. As far as me quitting the habit, I will when I feel the need to. I don't encourage non smokers to smoke or smokers to quit the habit. I think people should make up their minds in most cases.

Smoking is a choice, and I respect that. I do not respect smokers who make a smoking choice for other people by subjecting them to secondhand smoke. That includes smoking parents.


I have to agree there. My father smoked the entire time I was growing up . Then my older brother and sister started smoking. The one thing that drove me crazy more than second-hand smoke was the smell of my clothes. In fact that smell permeated every bit of our house. So, you're right, it wasn't by choice that I dealt with second-hand smoke and cigarette stink. I only openly dealt with that for my friends who smoked.

My father had an aneurysm removed from his lower abdominal aorta a few years ago. Years of smoking made his recovery directly after surgery nearly impossible. The doctors wanted him to breathe on his own but his lungs weren't strong enough. He was then placed on a breathing tube. During the months of recovery (at home) they prescribed the nicotine patch and he finally quit smoking in his late 60's. It took that event for him to finally decide to stop.

lol, i'm the type of smoker all you guys hate. I'll smoke anywhere i fucking feel like. Begining to piss me off getting thrown out of bars all the time for it tho lol.

I think everyones pretty much right, smokings bad, i'll die young, second hand smoke is shit blah blah blah. I say get fucking over it and live your own life. I mean fuck, if your stupid enough to hang around in smokey places for long enough to get fucking cancer then its no great loss to the world is it? Christ, just fucking move retard!

About parents, fair enough. You shouldn't smoke round your kids. Two reasons, it's bad for em (duh!), and second, no smoker would want their kids to think that its a good habit to take up.

That's the reason why I don't go to many shows anymore. Every place is just a damn wall of smoke when you get into the concert hall. I don't fault smokers, again it's their choice, I just hate dealing with it now.

I used to smoke 1-2 packs a day for about 6 years... More recently I usually don't smoke at all on a daily basis ( Well, cigs ) but I am known to pick up a cancer stick here and there. I can't say it's really an addiction, but something I do choose to do... I didn't really have much problem going from 1-2 packs a day down to pretty much nothing.

That's me personally though. I'm sure it's different for everyone.

As for the act itself... I guess it doesn't bother me. I suppose you could say that's influenced by the fact that I am a smoker myself ( even though not so much any more ) but honestly I think people should be able to make their own choices and as long as they're not douches about where they smoke ( IE right in front of your face if you're not down with it ) then whatever.

Oh yeah and I didn't read your article, OP. Sorry.

Also I'm really glad to see people calling others a moron and shit for their opinoin. Really fucking friendly environment we have here. SHAME that others have a different viewpoint, for sure.

That's just Ken.... I imagine him as the sort of man who cannot tell the difference between talking to people and yelling at them.

No offense, but idiots have opinions, too. Your points are bullshit. They're even more laughable considering most of us know how you used to stand against smokers and their dirty, unhealthy habit. Now you're one of them, so you try and glorify it.

And you know what they say: You can't polish a turd.

As an ex-smoker myself, I can understand smoking, but really Trev, your six points there are a load of rubbish. Smoking may be your choice, but passive smoking is definately harmful - walking behind smokers in the street is a dreadful experience for me, perhaps moreso because I used to smoke and so my lungs have been permanently weakened...

Here's an interesting experiment: replace tobacco in your six points with smack, or heroin for the rest of you. The points are all exactly the same - meditative, fun to walk to (crap point anyway, talk about scraping the barrel), something to look forward to, junkies are interesting (says you), helps to lose weight, and goes nice with coffee.

In fact, you can replace cigarettes in those points with anything from "Woody Allen" to "masturbating in public". So, you choose to smoke and kill yourself, fine, it's your right, but keep it away from where I can breathe it in, please.

Zad wins the thread. Jaden, your article is utter nonsense. I don't need to express a counter-argument because I couldn't provide a better one than Zad just did.

1. Smack is very meditative. Smack can put life into perspective. When life lets you down, smack won’t. I organize my thoughts most efficiently while shotting up, and take emotional shelter in its simple pleasure.

2. Walking is more enjoyable. Whether you’re walking for its own sake, or heading to a lecture, smack always makes for a more satisfying stroll. Going to that next lecture is a little less unappealing when you anticipate a good hit, it’s a well-earned reward for your arduous hike.

3. As just illustrated, smack gives you something to look forward to—frequently. At the end of a lecture, or after dinner, or when it’s just time for another. It’s akin to giving yourself a present five, ten, twenty times a day (however often you take dirty, dirty smack).

4. Smack heads are, more often than not, interesting people, and when you shot up, you will meet more of them. Why, you ask, are smack heads more interesting people? Perhaps it is because, in one way or another, we’re deviant.

5. Taking smack helps you lose weight. It burns calories, and as a result, increases one’s metabolism slightly. Furthermore, heroin curbs appetite. Abdominal definition is hard—have you considered smack? Brad Pitt does it, and he looks great!

6. Coffee and smack. You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced this combination.

haha, zad you were right lol!

1. Pizza is very meditative. Pizza can put life into perspective. When life lets you down, pizza won’t. I organize my thoughts most efficiently while having pizza, and take emotional shelter in its simple pleasure.

2. Walking is more enjoyable. Whether you’re walking for its own sake, or heading to a restaurant, pizza always makes for a more satisfying stroll. Going to that next dinner with your stupid friends is a little less unappealing when you anticipate a good slice, it’s a well-earned reward for your arduous hike.

3. As just illustrated, pizza gives you something to look forward to—frequently. At the end of a lecture, or after (pizza) dinner, or when it’s just time for another. It’s akin to giving yourself a present five, ten, twenty times a day (however often you take awesome, awesome pizza).

4. Pizza heads are, more often than not, interesting people, and when you go eat pizza, you will meet more of them. Why, you ask, are pizza heads more interesting people? Perhaps it is because, in one way or another, we’re full of pizza and happy.

5. Pizza helps you lose weight. It burns calories, and as a result, increases one’s metabolism slightly. Furthermore, pizza curbs appetite. Abdominal definition is hard—have you considered pizza? Brad Pitt does it, and he looks great!

6. Anything and pizza. You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced this combination.

hell, even point 5 is partially true. it does curb your apetite and it helps for abdominal definition (if you're going for the round definition, anyway).

1. Cock sucking is very meditative. Cock sucking can put life into perspective. When life lets you down, cocks won’t. I organize my thoughts most efficiently while sucking a cock, and take emotional shelter in its simple pleasure.

2. Walking is more enjoyable. Whether you’re walking for its own sake, or heading to a restaurant, cock sucking always makes for a more satisfying stroll. Going to that next dinner with your uncle Morris is a little less unappealing when you anticipate a good dick, it’s a well-earned reward for your arduous hike.

3. As just illustrated, cock sucking gives you something to look forward to—frequently. At the end of a lecture (when your professor beckons), or after dinner (when the waiter beckons), or just when it’s just time for another. It’s akin to giving yourself a present five, ten, twenty times a day (however often you suck awesome, awesome cock).

4. Cock suckers are, more often than not, interesting people, and when you go suck cock in an alley, you will meet more of them. Why, you ask, are cock suckers more interesting people? Perhaps it is because, in one way or another, we’re full of jizz and deviants.

5. Cock sucking helps you lose weight. It burns calories, and as a result, increases one’s metabolism slightly. Furthermore, cock sucking decreases appetite. Abdominal definition is hard—have you considered cock sucking? Brad Pitt does it five times a day, and he looks great!

6. Coffee and cock sucking. You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced this combination.

More nonsensical drivel from a smoker. Completely false, of course.


Prove me wrong.

I started smoking because most singers smoke and it is good for the voice, despite what anyone might think. I really enjoy it. Over doing it is very bad for a singer but not smoking is bad for a smokers voice too.
