Well? Should I?
I haven't smoked for several years now because I needed to be fit and stuff but now I can't join the army and I'm going to university and I feel like smoking.
Personal Pros:
- Stress Relief
- It tastes good
- Smoking=Eating less=Losing a bit of weight.
Personal Cons:
- Girlfriend would hate it
- Health reasons
- Drains money
So, your pros and cons? Should I or shouldn't I?

Cigarettes is a push but I definitely don't have the money to afford weed as well as tobacco and rizlas.

Personal Pros:
- Stress Relief
Better ways of relieving stress
- It tastes good
I think cookies taste good, but that's not a comparison here.
- Smoking=Eating less=Losing a bit of weight.
Just try sunflower seeds, or something with a lot of natural fiber.
Personal Cons:
- Girlfriend would hate it
Cigs or girlfriend, that is the question.
- Health reasons
Of course. This is probably the biggest one.
- Drains money
Well, calculate how much you would smoke in a day, then get a large mason jar. Put that much money in per day. It adds up.

Don't do it. The negative effects outwiegh the benefits by a lot. Plus, you'll stink.
Probobly not? I don't assume smokers smoke out of choice eventually, it just becomes a habit. You've not smoked in a while so you've broke free, why start again? There must be other alternatives to relax, and an early grave is never worth it.

or you could just eat less and run more?
- Girlfriend would hate it
not just your girlfriend, but everyone around you who isn't a smoker
So, your pros and cons? Should I or shouldn't I?
pros:
- feels good
cons:
- cancer
- high blood pressure
- annoys the fuck out of everyone
- draining the bank account
- addiction
hmm
cocks.
From the perspective of athletics, health and fitness. I would advice against it, it's a personal choice though. I think the best way to decide, would be to give weight to the pros and cons. Then see which way the scales tip.
Although my personal opinion, the negatives seem to outweigh the benefits. The impact it would have on my cardiovascular performance would completely fuck up me and my marathon training. Furthermore, I have asthma, so inhaling something on a regular basis that has detrimental effects on my lungs, is even more ill advised than normal. I also, can foresee it eating considerably into my finances, which I really can't afford right now. Then theres also the inconvenience of the smoking ban.
The benefits, to be honest, whenever i've smoked (socially) in the past, I haven't felt any real significant benefits. Smoking just doesn't do it for me.
The choice is yours to make though. But I think you should seriously consider your health.
I noticed you mentioned weight loss as a benefit, feel free to shoot me a PM if you want any tips on healthy ways to lose weight.
nobody goes there anymore. its too popular.

I say no. Keep up with the healthy lifestyle and go to the gym. You'll be fit and never look back.
I'd avoid it at all costs. Smoking will only get more expensive, restricted from more places, and become more frowned upon as time goes on.
The cons outweigh the pros but do whatever you want, plus another pro would be it does make you look cool (it does dont you be denying it) but my advice is no.

I really don't think you should.
More cons to add to your list:
-You would smell bad (your clothes and such)
-Your girlfriend would be able to taste it when she kisses you (pretty gross)
-You'd probably develop a very attractive smoker's cough
-It could be a bad influence on impressionable people you may have in your life, ie; a younger sibling
-You'd have to drop what your doing for a variety of activities to take the "smoke break"; highly inconvenient
-You may be tempted to smoke in your home, in which case it will smell terrible to any non-smokers who live there or visit, and will make all the things you own smell like cigarettes.
-If you have pets and smoke in your home, that'd affect their health too, as well as everyone else who lives there and breathes it in.
-People won't want to be around you if you decide to light up, unless perhaps they smoke too. I know I'll stand several feet from someone if they light up (I am allergic to cigarette smoke, plus I don't like it with that factor aside)
-People might look down on you if you smoke, since it has become rather stigmatized
-This may be added to the health reason, but smokers often develop tired looking eyes with bags and dark circles under them, and their bodies definitely show the effects after some time smoking, as damage is being done. It'll make it difficult to do a lot of physically demanding things (yard work, sex, sports, whatever) without become tired out or out of break quicker than you normally would.
-It's probably going to continue to get more expensive. I know it's insanely expensive where I live right now.
Well, I hope that helped widen your perspective of the cons, anyway. I don't have any pros to add to your pro list.
Boop boop beep boop.
Are you going to be smoking cigarette's or some Dre?
because you should totally smoke Dre instead of nasty tobacco.
Check out my new song ''Open the Eyes Of My Heart Lord''
3rd place in the weekly 5!
A cigarette every once in a while is nice, especially the morning buzz. I smoke but in moderation maybe 3 cigs on a stressfull day. However I also run 1.5 miles twice every other day so the balance between the two I find equal out.
I wouldn't recommend smoking as my dad I'm sure isnt going to be around much longer due to smoking which is a bad feeling. So I say go for it but realize what you're doing to yourself
Whaaaaaaat?

No way does it make people look cool. There's such a stigma with it now, that a lot of people look at smokers with pity for how they're ruining their bodies.

I would do it, but that's just me. It's going to drain your money twice as much being in university though.. just think about that.

If you have quit once, I don't see a reason to start again.
I think this can be relevant to our discusion:

That thread was why I made this thread. Also all the smokers seem to be in that thread and all the non-smokers in this thread. With a few exceptions. Does that tell you anything?
i heard somewhere that its like 10 grand a year for a smoker sooo.... no, no I wouldn't start smoking again.
It's going to affect your finance, relationship with your girlfriend and general health, so no. There are other ways to calm yourself and lose weight, ect..
It's called exercise, pills, and a healthy diet.
