Do you smoke?

[Uncanny X-Man]

I don't smoke, but I think nothing of it as I've been around smokers ever since I was a little kid (my dad has always smoked a lot) but have never felt the desire to begin as I can use my money much better (lolyeahright) in my life I've smoked 3 cigarettes.

[Eris]

I think two people want their lungs back D:

Yeah, I don't mind being an organ doner to save somebody's life.... but I don't want my stuff on display; especially as a "bad" example

I still find the baby section of the Body World thing creepifying. Slightly off topic, but meh.

It is an unexpected fact that I did smoke when I was a young teen. I was surrounded by friends who smoked so I was dumb enough to feel lonely for not doing the same thing. I smoked a couple of times and I didn't get addicted. I'm glad!

[sataned]

smoking is bad everybody. dont even bother with it. just drink up when youre old enough huh get bucked up.

[KateS]

I smoke regularly. :|

[Matty]

I smoke regularly. :|

Me too... I`m starting to think it`s not as common as I thought for anime goers. I`ve met a bunch, but judging on the responses, next to none on here.

That`s a good thing tho!

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

Me? Nein. I give it credit for being a decent stress-reliever, hence why many people go for that effect, but otherwise I really see no reason in starting to smoke. It's pretty damn sad how a lot of people have jelly-spine and just do whatever everyone else is doing so they'd fit in, and in all honestly, most teenagers start that way. Come on, how stressed are you at the age of 14-15 that you really need to smoke it off?
Also I don't believe that smoking makes you 'cool'(as many people do). I believe the opposite. Being a substance-addicted bad-smelling train-wreck, does not make you cool.
On another note, you basically spend hell loads of money... for, basically, poisoning yourself. What has your body done to you for you to damage it like that? And who do you think is going to suffer in the future? o_O

But again, I won't judge the people who do smoke. I believe in freedom of choice. Your body, your choice. I do become aggravated, though, when somebody else's choice, directly affects me in a bad way. If I choose not to smoke, I really choose not to smoke, that means, no inhaling other people's smoke either.

I used to smoke but after 3 years of goin through 3 packs a night and tryin to quit 3 unsuccesful times, the 4th was the success! I quit cold turkey and have never gone back

[TasteMyPoisonKiss]

I never have and i never will but when i was younger waiting at the bus stop the kids waiting there with me tried to get me to smoke a roach they pressured me so much to

do it saying things like if you don't do it your a wimp then saying come on just try it once for me that i almost did give in to pressure and try it but luckily the bus showed up at

the right time and saved me he put it away after that i never tried cigarettes since

[Musaki]

I started smoking because my docter told me that it will help with stress relieve and I should says its kinda helping I feel abit more relaxed after a smoke.

Medicinal marijuanna? I heard that some doctors recommend it for those with cancers and terminal conditions, never for stress

[Miind]

In some places in the United States doctors can prescribe it for things such as Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, Glaucoma, Cancer, eating disorders. Marijuana is prescribed pretty freely in places such as California. I'm Canadian, I smoke weed every once and a while for my insomnia that's about all. I'm also a occasional smoker, I smoke a pack of smokes every month maybe. I'm pretty controlled in my substance abuse, my advice for anyone that smokes is that the first two days after not smoking is hell, but then it stops being a need and becomes a want.

Really? My doctor yells at me every time I see and he asks me if I'm still smoking, and the reply is "YES SIR!"
He always tries to give me patches; but the patches are a really weird thing to wear.... I'll never forget my dreams that I had when I tried it.

[Lysander Cyric Korvein]

Now THAT'S a first, Matty. The patch has psychological side-effects?! Interesting....

[Matty]

Not really psychological... just messed around with my dreams. Barely sleapt at all when I did the patch. I kept waking up every ten minutes from either a ridiculous dream, or an intense nightmare. It says in the instructions to leave it on when you sleep, i guess so that way you don't crave one for when you first wake up. I didn't care, left it on the first night, then i took it off before bed for the following three.... and my dreams were still messed up.

It was everything from a cougar chasing me for days before I figured out that it was my buddy who forgot to shave; to me becoming spiderman and shooting cigarettes out of my wrists at somebody who asked me for a smoke.

These type of dreams times 100 a night, for four nights... Bye bye patch; hello decent sleep, lol

[Assiduous✡Aristocrat]

On occasion I'll get a cigar.

I'm not a doctor but what works for my stress is to run! (well, dont go crazy if your not in shape though). Especially on a bright sunny day, its amazing what a good long run out with a bright blue sky will do to your mood. Its about the only thing that keeps me sane! Well that and going out for a multi day hike in the mountains or something like that, but I only do that a few times a year, and only in warmer weather.

[Kaleohano]

i do and i don't plan o quitting. i enjoy it very much. and i'm such a boss that even after 2 years i'm not addicted. i decided to quit for a month to test myself and see whether or not it bothered me. and guess what, didn't bother me in the slightest! well, i kinda thought about wanting a cig from time to time, but nothing like the withdrawal symptoms some people experience. i don't have an addictive personality and the same goes for my friend and we're both not addicted. another friend of mine with a very addictive personality (i told him he should NOT try it) he was hooked within a week. and him quitting was an ugly sight. its was similar but not quite as bad as someone going through heroin withdrawal.

so Nuclear Propulsion Engineer of The United States Navy(me)'s advice regarding smoking.

if you have an addictive personality, DON'T DO IT!
If you don't and you don't care to live to the age where you have to have some lady wipe your behind and change your diaper, go right on ahead!

[Musaki]

@T-Stew : Hehehehe not in shape ? I go for 35 mile jog per day for 4 times a week hehehe after that I teach martial arts 6 times a week and I attend an acrobatics classes 3 times a week. But I dont know I think I m doing alright on the staying in shape part. lmao everybody has a different remedy for stress and if I have 1 smoke once a week does that make me wrong? Hehehehehehe :P

[Pascal]

No, because the smell gives me headaches.

But I don't see anything wrong with them, as long as you use them in moderation and aren't going through a pack a day.

I strongly think you should remove that picture Denjax, there are kids in here after all...

I was shown pictures like that in middle school. it's nbd

Nah if its just 1 smoke a week thats a lot less then I was thinking. I can't believe running that much doesnt do it for you though. 35mi 4 times? Thats like 5 marathons a week. I've never run that much! Well I really couldnt anyway with 14hr days... have to do the long runs on off days. Thats great you can do that (if its not a typo lol). I take it you run ultras? I was going to do my first ultra next year but due to some foot issues and re learning how to run last year I might have to bump that goal out 1 more year. Oh and FWIW I didnt mean to imply your out of shape, just anyone reading my stress relief recommendation - I think running is great stress relief and everyone should do it that is capable just dont do to much too fast.

[In0kz]

I used to smoke frequently but I quit and I can't say I miss it too much. Well maybe sometimes when your in town and pass some smokers you feel the urge but that's it. oh but when I drink I smoke though, but yea I've kept it like this and I think I'm ok with how it is now. I don't really regret starting though, I mean sure it was a pain to quit and it was probably not good for my health but still. we had some good times me and my cigarettes. some good times indeed. and that security of always having a reason to stand outside looking lost. now I simply look like a retard when I stand alone not knowing how to behave waiting for something/one :P

But seriously. KIDS DON'T START TO SMOKE! It'll kill ya!

[Gero50]

I have smoked before, but never plan to again. To expensive, plus I don't wanna make my price to die any higher. Plus if I wanted to die that bad there are much faster, and less painful ways.
