No, they won't make you classy if you're under 50. They will rather make you look like a douchebag.

wow what a stupid question.
No, smoking is not good, you shouldnt start smoking again, you should be happy you quit.

even though I currently smoke, I'm not being a hypocrite I'm just saying the truth

For a second then, I thought Luis started this thread

I would say no. But that's probably only because I'm working on quitting myself right now. Just doesn't seem worth it to me anymore, even though I do enjoy doing it.

Why would you even consider doing it after you've quit for so long? That's fucking retarded man.

I'm just quitting now after smoking for 3-4 years and it's hard as fuck. I have one last pack to cut back on and that's down to half a pack, after two days though so I think that's pretty good.

Don't start smoking again, it's fucking stupid man, waste of money, just awful for you if you think about, why bother man?

Nah mate, smoking is STUPID. I only smoke cause I'm really addicted. I'm trying to give up though. Waste of life, time and money.

Cigarettes? No.
Weed? Go for it.

There are other ways to relief stress.

No it doesn't. Smoking a cigarette is similar to eating ashes mixed with chimney soot and your dad's poop.

- Smoking=Eating less=Losing a bit of weight.

Nope. Health is more important than losing weight.

Personal Cons:

- Girlfriend would hate it

Yeah, they would.

- Health reasons

Smoking is generally killing yourself because you're poisoning yourself. And killing yourself means suicide.

- Drains money

Yep, cigarettes aren't cheap, so why are you buying it just to poison yourself?

So, your pros and cons? Should I or shouldn't I?

My pros:
-none-

My cons:
It isn't cool
It's a waste of money
Health concerns
Affects the entire body (Shrinks arteries, poison blood, breathing problems, heart problems, brain problems, etc.)
Nicotine is a drug (It should be banned)
Very dumb idea
Stupid
Kills you eventually
Cannot smoke in several public places
OPEN THE WINDOWS FOR HEAVEN SAKE!!!
When you poison yourself, you aren't just the only one in danger. The people around you may breathe in the smoke you puff out and that's even worse. It's called second-hand smoking. Second-hand smoking is even worse and damages your lungs faster.

So... the decision is not a compromise but a true answer: You shouldn't.

Done.

No, don't.

I've smoked for about a year and then hardly let it go, I'm 13, and it sucks that you just can't let it go afterwards.

Yep, it drains way too much money and you won't be able to do any sports.

However, I still smoke shisha.

No.

*cough* hmmHYES *cough*

if you do smoke you will have a LIMITED life! huh? huh?

don't smoke

I wouldn't because of the big C.

It makes you look like a cunt.

If it'll help you lose some stress then go for it. You can always quit at another time in your life when it isnt so stressful.

You might as well stay off it, the cons outweigh the pros now.

Some of the coolest people I've ever met are liljim and Stamper. They smoke plenty. My advice would be to smoke even more than you originally did.

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

- Smoking=Eating less=Losing a bit of weight.

Do you smoke solely for stress?

I would suggest confronting the source of your stress instead of smoking, of eating.

Spider Jerusalem sure does look cool in that picture. But when doesn't he look cool. And when is he ever not depicted with a cigarette. How can you say no to that. Get back on the tobacco train while you still can. Support the multinational corporations, with society turning against them they need all the help they can get. Soon they wont be billionaires anymore, and they'll be stuck living the poor mans life of a millionaire!!!

A fate I wouldn't wish on my worst of enemies.

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

Smoking will kill you. Do you want to be killed? I thought not...

Man, smoking makes you look cool. That should be the only reason you do it ever.

Don't do it! It's not worth it...

To start with, you shouldn't have begun smoking in the first place. I assume you either succumbed to peer pressure, had stress and/or depression issues, or was just curious.

Absolutely not. Once you start smoking, even managing to quit it is an accomplishment. Unfortunately, all that filth you inhale stays in your lungs for years. This inevitably leads to health problems and hazardous diseases. So don't think that quitting smoking makes you completely safe and clean. I'd like to add the "even if you glue a broken vase back together, it's not the same vase anymore." example here.

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.

No! Pardon the exclamation, but if you ever decide to get back to consuming that poison, you'll only be repeating a huge mistake.

Personal Pros:

There are absolutely no pros of smoking compared to the cons you will be encountering later on. "Smoking" and "benefits" just don't mix.

- Stress Relief

No offense, but I think that smoking is for the weak who cannot be joyous or enjoy life otherwise, to the point of devoting their lives to packs of rolled filth. If you want relief, try doing sports, gardening, drawing, painting, listening to music; anything that interests you and keeps you afar from smoking. There are so many ways for stress relief and by smoking, you're choosing the most dangerous and pointless one.

Also, imagine yourself smoking. Only for a momentary stress relief. Now imagine visiting your doctor and getting diagnosed with lung cancer. How would you feel? Would it all be worth it? Can you possibly imagine the stress that you'd experience in that situation?

- It tastes good

I can't see how garbage can taste good. I can't see the association between filth and savor, I think it's the addiction that makes you form that association in your mind.

- Smoking=Eating less=Losing a bit of weight.

If you want to lose weight, try doing some cardiovascular exercise. It's strengthens your lungs, unlike that ash you inhale that clings to your lungs and becomes a part of them, destroying them slowly. Also, sports promote good sleep, while nicotine, for many smokers, is a cause of insomnia.

Personal Cons:

There are actually a lot more cons than you list below.

- Girlfriend would hate it

Your girlfriend isn't the only issue; nobody would like the sight of yellow, wry teeth, bad breath, frequent coughs and headaches, a cracked voice...

- Health reasons

This con rules out all the pros you would possibly find for smoking. By smoking, you are killing yourself slowly and purposely, draining your health like water down a sink, increasing your risks of many types of cancer, and shortening your life a great deal. You are jeopardizing your health with your free will. Humans are a weird species. "Fate succumbs many a species: one alone jeopardizes itself." - W.H. Auden

I'd also like to add that when you smoke in public, you are exposing the people in the vicinity to your smoke, putting their lives in danger as well. It's called passive smoking, in case you haven't heard of it. So it can't be gathered that smoking is not only a self-destructive act, but also a selfish one.

- Drains money

Health is the most important aspect that any living being can have. If you are unhealthy; wealth, power, social status, etc. etc. are of absolutely no import.

So, your pros and cons? Should I or shouldn't I?

Needless to say I presume, you shouldn't. If you have read all I have written above and still consider smoking, there is no way I can help you. All my life I tried to convince the people I loved and respected to quit smoking. They never listened. It'd make me truly merry if you understand the points that I've been trying to make, and decide not to smoke. The choice is all yours, however, if you want to keep decaying your lungs (and other people's) and jeopardizing your health with your very own free will.

Its you choice and your life.
If you like to poison yourself and the surrounding people with smokes do so?
personally i think its plain stupid to smoke, it may be stress reliefing but your healt quality will sharply decrease, Insurance will be more expensive and it will always drain money, if your gonna study i guess you would need all the money you could get so i would recomend not to smoke.

Spend your money for other things... its an even better stress relief if you buy your girlfriend things that she likes u loser =_=

Ignore the Elementary school anti-tobacco noobs, if you want to smoke then do it, it's your own choice not ours, Plus i smoke too and for some reasons i don't have any health problems yet, or you can get a

Smoker's Savior which mimics smoking and it has a re-chargable battery, so all the cons will go away. Anyway choose either option i don't care.

Fuck you, no need to insult me randomly. Don't be an asshole.

Also, who the hell bumped my fucking thread? I can't be bothered to scroll up and find out but if a mod stumbles across this post can they lock this thread?

With the pros and cons you provided make me say it isn't worth smoking.
