calms me down when angry
if im stressed makes me feel better
also feeds my addiction

so therefore it does alot of good things for me

It calms you down because you're taking deep breaths.

I don't mind weed smoking, but c'mon, cigarettes?

I smoke, i enjoy smoking because it relieves stress allows me to do something with my hands and also (this sounds stupid) theres a great social circle behind it on a night out

People say it makes you die premateurly, yes ofcourse it does but so does alcohol, food etc...

Does the smell make smokers be looked down upon in society? puzzles me

Also the government earn most of their money from ciggarette consumers and without them could you imagine what the economy would be like given its current state?

Theres nothing for anyone to get annoyed about anymore you cant even smoke in a bar or any other public place, walk by someone and get 3 seconds of this 'horrible smell' is just stupid to get annoyed about honestly, dont like it just ignore it instead of thinkin your achieving something by hating on smokers, this does not apply to all of you that dont like it, just the people that think theyr better than smokers

I personally smoke, and smokers know what we do is bad! No need to give us a lecture on it! You cannot judge someone until you've tried it.

I'm 16 and I am the only non smoker in my group of friends and I plan for it to stay that way :p honestly I don't get why people take it up...I don't judge them because it is their life and not mine so its not my call to make but I wish they all quit honestly

I had one drag off a ciggarette because I was extremely drunk and I coughed my guts up...
But honestly you should try to quit, you will feel a lot better one of my friends has recently quit and he says its one of the best things that he has ever done

RonnieeXD wrote Stop smoking for 1 month and see how much better you feel.

I agree with this guy i used to smoke weed as much as i could then when i stopped i still seemed drowsy most of the time i guess it was still in my system but after 30 days i was feeling better than ever and now it's made me realize how annoying potsmokers are all they talk about is weed and its so annoying -_-

Oh and usually people smoke about 15-20 superkings a day (dunno about rolling tobacco) but ill put it into perspective
1 pack of 20= about 5.00
6-7 packs of 20 a week= 30-35
52 weeks in a year= 1560-1820

so you spend ABOUT 2,000 if you are an average smoker a year
so if you live to about 65 (and you're a teenager now) then you will spend about 100,000 (160,000 dollars) on something that kills you quicker and more painfully... Ciggarette companies laugh at everytime they hook people onto their product

my parents buy 2-3 cartons of cigarettes at a time >.>

Well, it is unhealthy, but people shouldn't criticize you because its your choice and doesnt affect them.

I recently switched to e-cigs and it is the best choice I have made in a long time.One thing I can't stand now since I got my smell back is the smell of smoke, it's disgusting and to think I used to smell like that is enough to keep me using the e-cigs. Try it sometime.

It can affect others. In a situation where it doesn't, though, you're right - it's not anyone's choice but their's.
