As lame as all that sounds, if my friends did that at 16 I prolly wouldn't be smoking now. :/

 

[Mellow-]

I know many friends who smoke. I have therefore been giving a fair amount of peer pressure to smoke.

I have declined them on every occasion. I have never smoked and I never will.

Go me.

I think smoking is prohibited in clubs etc in Australia (or some of them) strange, but clean.

Stop smoking!


























Quick!

This was a warning issued by the Chief Health Adviser.

 

[kanonfodda]

I tried smoking when I was younger, took one puff, nearly choked my lungs up, and never touched the fekin things since.

I can't say I like smoking, I especially hate being forced to inhale others smoke when I go out, but I tend to just move away from it.

It's a horrible habbit, that I find incrediably anti-social. But if people want to polute their lungs, let em, just STOP trying to polute mine!

 

[Skyler]

Just leave Bodhi to his own opinions, if he wants to smoke let him...

Hes the one wasting money on things that are killing him slowly...

His choice

I alternatively enjoy being healthier for free, than paying to harm my body....

Healthy Lung

Smokers lung (dead, of course)

You decide.

 

[~Lazarus~]

Geee,

Thanks for that Wilier - specially just after brekkie.

Yes - Im a reformed smoker. Never used to smoke (super fit kinda guy - jogging, judo, swimming, squash, weight training, Tae Kwon Do, Karate) then went on holidy with a bunch of guys that smoked and started again (smoked before I did all the training)

Managed to stop on more than one occasion, always managed to start again tho.

And talkin of peer pressure - daughter (7 years old) is giving me hell about smoking.

Im gonna quit - just need to set a date and STOP!!!

You telling me you see a smoker of 10 years hack away and think cool I wish I was like that!
or someone whos smoked 50 a day get out of breath walking for 2 minutes-and think god I wish that was me.
Its the quenching of the addiction thats pleasurable not the smoking itself-how many ppl actually enjoyed their first cigarette here?
its only after a couple that it becomes enjoyable.

you might learn something you thick fuck.

If you dont get lung cancer youre more then likely to die of a heart attack or have a smoking related lung disease(bronchitus say)

I'm so retarded I even appreciate the values of punctuation, grammar and laying a post out legibly.

Anyway, that white paper didn't tell me anything I didn't know - mainly, that you can manipulate statistics to prove any point you want. I can use them to prove my point aswell. 13 million smokers in the UK - 112,000 smoke related deaths in the UK each year. That is 0.8% of the UK's smoking population dies each year. Doesn't really seem a large enough a percentage to take the "IF YUO SMOEK YUO WILL DIE!"!"!"!"!" line ill educated cunts such as yourself seem to take. If the percentage was like 100%, then I'd be worried. But as there is still a higher chance you wont get cancer of the foot than you will, I shall file comments such as yours under "Retarded Daily Mail fodder".

Thank you drive through.

0.8% PER YEAR. If 100% of smokers died per year, then there'd be none left after 12 months would there. Over the course of their lifetime, the average smoker has about a 74% chance of dying prematurely from causes directly related to smoking. Looks a bit more intimidating now doesn't it.

You want to smoke that's fine, no one cares that much but just don't try to belittle the numbers of smoking related deaths and illnesses with stupid comments such as

We need more people to die, not less!

Difficult to belittle 100,000+ deaths from smoking, considering this is around five-six times higher than all the deaths caused by car accidents, murder, suicide and Aids added together. In terms of avoiding death, not smoking significantly reduces your chances.

And also considering there arent 13 million psychopaths, manic depressive cuntwits or AIDS victims in the UK (even put together) the number starts to look much smaller. But then, the anti smoking lobby has always chosen to make the numbers look as bad as possible. I'll put your ignorance of the percentages down to being distracted by the fact your kittens grew a day older and looked the same as yesterday shall I?

And as for the rest of the ramblings I've seen since my last point - Congratulations you have proved my point. You honestly couldn't make my job here any easier if you tried.

Like I said...

Thank you drive through.

How many people start smoking each year? The percentage of deaths over starters, is the best way to see what the chances of dying due to smoking are.

But tbh, i don't think the dying is the problem. If i was coughing up my own lungs every morning, death proberbly wouldn't seem so bad. The statistics are irrelevant - Everyone knows that smokers are going to suffer when they get older, even Bodhi knows this, but he just chooses to overlook this for some short term "relaxation".

I have no reason to smoke, and i'd rather not suffer from breathing problems as i get older - The choice for any non-smoker, with half a brain, is so clear.

And whats your excuse for not being able to argue coherently ?

I can tell you're getting angry now. The walls have started caving in. You're making less and less sense. You're losing grip on reality. Get up from the computer, go through to the bathroom and repeat into the mirror "It's only the internet". Go and have a lie down.

I'd also suggest you take long deep breaths whilst you still can as 10 years from now you wont be able to if you continue smoking.

Calm down, and get a small animal companion, they are wonderful for stress and much more healthy than tobacco.

Mark my words Cama, keep the kittens away from those other naughty kittens that smoke

I believe it's the same for every single smoker in the country, and if they say otherwise, they're lying.

Damn straight, I've been smoking whilst I was on holiday purley because I do enjoy it. However i've no desire to smell of cigs all year long so now i'm back i'll once again be confining my smoking to when I go out socially.

 

[Skyler]

lol Willier

Bodhi please try and suggest a reason for smoking, something positive, that actually is a benefit, that you cant do by eating/drinking other healthy substances ?

 

[caLLous]

No one is trying to make you smoke, Skyler. If you don't want to, just don't do it. The smokers here do it because we enjoy it. End of story as far as I'm concerned.

It's almost as bad as a non-smoker laughing at a smoker's attempts to quit: a non-smoker cannot possibly comprehend how difficult it can be. Fuck knows I've tried.

AMEN!!

I maybe smoke 10 - 5 cigs a day. Out of that lot, I maybe enjoy 4 or 5

Makes you wonder.

No - I dont enjoy smoking. I've done some stupid things in the past but, up there at the top of the list is starting smoking.

Oh to be back training and feeling fit.

 

[Wilier]

So quit whinging and get out on your bike, or run or whatever.



Stop the smoking, for the sake of the children, do it now.

Ohh, you wouldn't want these old things... I think it's easier if I just smoke them myself.
