Don't be so sure about it. Stop your habit, and you'll have a higher chance of getting on with life for a longer time.

i know that you heard this before but
STOP NOW !!
 
I would agree. Don't listen to the likes of that poster who was on SF a few months ago, claiming that smoking is not bad for you. It is.
 
It seems uncharacteristic for you to imply being gay and cool are 2 mutually exclusive things.
But maybe you hate fags? I can't remember. I have a tendency to generalise and stereotype people who are against people hating types of people, and assume they're all the same. For this close minded biggotry I apologise.
I shouldn't judge whole groups of people which are comprised of individuals I've never met.
If you hate fags I truely do apologise. Ofcourse you might hate fags, how dare I presume you accept homosexuality just because you're of a certain "type".
It's not like you'd be incapable of it just because you're against racism. It's ignorant for me to assume as much, you're not some mindless "anti-hate machine", you're a human being who might love eskimos but hate laplanders, love lesbians but hate faggots etc.
So sorry again for being surprised by your extremist anti-gay views. That was rude of me.

But you are wrong about smoking not being cool. It wouldn't get that reputation for nothing.
Obviously the natural reaction humans have had since the dawn of smoking has been "that's cool".
I find it hard to believe you, even today, can look at a smoker and not deep down feel that they're cool.
You've just developed an "opinion" on the matter, based on all these silly facts (and perhaps your utter disdain for gays which you've seen smoking?).
But you can't escape your animal urges, your innate tendency to be impressed by smokers and idolise them.

I'm pretty sure it could be scientifically proven that smoking is cool. We just need some more technological advancements, specifically geared towards the guaging and measurement of coolness.
And ofcourse the general population need to be mentally prepared for such news.
I think the government is already aware of this fact but covers it up to avoid mass hysteria.

You guys should realise that every single thing on earth is bad for you, don't you watch those current affair type news shows?
Even like eating lettuce and having a pulse chip away at your life expectancy.
That IS life.

I say die young and leaving a rockin radical corpse. Last time I checked rockin radicals aren't like "ahh, no thanks dude, no cigarette for me I'm watching my health *devil sign*".
If you don't smoke and you're all "against it", won't you feel embarrassed on your deathbed when you're dieing anyway?
Seriously, I think I would. I think I'd be really embarrassed.
And imagine if you got lung cancer anyway? Oh well, at least you'd die of shame before the cancer got you I suppose.

Do you realise only 10% of smokers die of lung cancer? It's more risky being a negro on account of heart disease.
So I suppose michael jackson was "sensible" to quit negroism? That was a reasonable level headed thing to do on account of the risks?
Yeah right.

Case closed.
Smoking is cool and is actually good for you by my calculations (wait a sec... divided by... 8 is... 6 times.... yup, it is) so keep it up young buck.
Try not to drown in the pile of naked ladies which will be constantly following you around due to your courageous life choice.
 
my apologies, I am still on my way to becoming a proper homosexual.

Smoking makes you look cool, but your kisses will taste like an ashtray. But that doesn't matter because from now on you will be only surrounded by other cool people who also smoke.

Smoking is cool. I can still remember how cool my father looked without his legs and slowly rotting away on a road to a painful death.
 
There's nothing extraordinarily wrong with smoking; it's not harmless, no, and one may not like the smoke or smell, but it's not nearly as dangerous as it is made out to be by the anti-smoking activists.

Doctors and nurses are shocked to learn that I've been smoking since I was about 10 years old; I'm almost 40 now and show no signs of periodontal bone loss, cardiopulmonary obstruction, emphysema, or any other disease.

My family is full of life long smokers, the oldest of whom have died in their late 80's or 90's of unrelated causes; meaning, no COPD, heart ailments or cancers... and the majority of whom are still living quite well.

Hardy genes, I guess...

...

Best thing I can suggest to other smokers is to stay active and put yourself on a calorie restricted diet supplemented with a low metallic content multi-vitamin. Avoid steroids and other hormone therapies if at all possible.

Greetings
 
Good for you. All male smokers in my family died prematurely because of smoking.

It would be ironic if you die next year of lung cancer.
 
I have never smoked tobacco.
I have smoked weed a few times though.

I'm into sports and breathing is very important for me.
I have no desire to damage my lungs because that's all I see that smoking is.
 
I go out with my friends for an occasional narghile (ahh... the pleasures of molasses tobacco!), but I don't smoke regularly, and I stay away from cigarettes, so I voted no.
 
About the whole smoking being cool, I have to say this...lol. No offense ment.

At my school, the smokers are the kids who hang exclusivly together, outside all the time, and have pretty much only other smokers as friends. The "rockin radicals" are the ones who put down the smokers of ciggarettes (pot is a diffreent story with them.. :D)
Also, the smokers smell. They reek...when a group walks by you smell it.
If I'm gonna die anyway, might as well not have spent a ton of money, and half my life as a slave to ciggarettes. Its sad how my few smoker friends have to pretty much live outside during the school day just so they can smoke (and this is canada, so it gets cold during winter).

Smoking is not (in my highschool...and most normal high schools here would be the same) cool. You stink, you have no money for other stuff, your social life consists of smoking with other smokers, you miss a lot of class so you can go smoke. You see a smoker, and you veer away.

So I think smoking is definatly not cool, even "deep down".

Not really. I had to live with second hand smoke all of my childhood. In our family we do not die from lung cancer, but from circulatory problems related to smoking.
 
My social life in High School consisted of sports, music, and recreational drug use; 2-time BTB State Soccer Championship wins, trophies ad nauseum for Track and Field, Baseball and Basketball... and Art and Science Fairs... all while nailing down a 3.93 cumulative GPA, graduating SCL, and smoking.

Success is "cool"... especially in the face of adversity.
