Don't do it. You will regret it.

Good to hear you've stopped :)
I wish my dad would stop.. :(

I tried it out of curiosity, enjoyed it, but would never do it regularly.

I started with the occasional cigar... then smoked weed just about every day last summer. Needless to say that I'm on probation and can't smoke weed. So I started smoking cigs. Oh and I also smoke hookah. Its mostly on the weekends when I hang with my buddies. I can't smoke weed, can't drink so cigs and hookah are all i got right now haha.

But yeah cigs really arent worth it though. After awhile i lost the nicotine buzz so its just the habit of putting smoke into my lungs... really not getting anything out of it so I've cut it down a lot. Need to get my tolerance down a bit before I can enjoy them like i used to.

I smoke. I'm an art student and it's kind of law. I smoke drum or golden virginia rollies.

Same.

And gerauchert, same. I've lost the buzz, it is just habitual now.

GV Rolls, with mates, do weed when certain mates come over.
I like smoking, but don't feel like I NEED it, which is good :)

Smoking is stupid. You're paying to shorten your lifespan and hurt yourself imo. Just doesn't make sense to me..

It's still dumb. Why do something that you know has such harmful effects and doesn't offer any benefits? It's just not worth it at all.

It's addictive. And when you start, it gives you something to do. You think I don't know its dumb? I don't have the will power to quit, I have tried. I regret starting, but I can't stop.

You do have the will power to quit, it's the fact that you're telling yourself that you do not. Therefore you truly don't want to quit and have not actually worked out steps/a method to quit that works for you. Obviously cold turkey isn't the best step but there are measures you could be taking to at least reduce the amount that you smoke and eventually ween yourself off nicotine.

It's not hard, you just have actually want to quit.

It's easy enough to say that when you don't smoke, but I take your point. In reality, it is a lot harder to quit then you would think. People don't understand this when they don't smoke regularly, but its true.

I smoked for a year and quit cold turkey..:rolleyes:

You just actually have to want it and the fact that you're telling yourself that you can't do it speaks to itself. It's all mental. If you think you can't do it, you won't.

I have told myself, for sport, for girlfriends, for parents. I just end up doing it again. :|

I can say its easy, i smoked for over a year and stopped. Just like that.

I actually used to "smoke" as a kid, around middle school, which is like age 11-14, and younger.

My older sister got me started, and I thought it was "cool" (most immediate family are smokers). I would take snipes from ash trays and smoke those and steal the occasional cigarette from either of my parents.

I never did it often enough to become physically dependent....then I grew up and realized it was stupid.

Now I just do the occasional smoke as I said before, which of course everyone knows you don't inhale pipes or cigars (traditionally), but I still get a little buzz through my gums, and of course am still susceptible to oral cancer.

I smoke Marlboro Smooths, they actually have a nice smoke to them. I don't do it regularly, only when I'm stressed or just feel the urge. I can stop whenever I want, I'm not addicted. I smoke weed, have been for about a year or more. I just bought a new pack the other day and only smoked three.

I absolutely LOVE hookah! It's so relaxing :)

I agree with bebe (I am not talking about the quitting) but the fact your paying to hurt your body, Never will start to smoke.

Out of curiosity, for the people who do not agree with smoking - what are your opinions concerning alcohol?

I think smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol is bad. As are many other drugs (LSD is fine by me, and so are shrooms). But weed is fine. :3

drinking alcohol to get drunk disgusts me.
I do enjoy the flavors of many alcoholic beverages (I never drank underaged though), but I've never been drunk, just a few drinks, over an hour a so, for the taste.

I enjoy smoking (marijuana), but I hate drinking.
Probably after experimenting with alcohol like a month ago and getting very drunk (.23 BAC if I recall correctly) is the cause of my opinion. I was very foolish and have learned since then. By the way, to get that drunk I drank a whole bottle of Jack Daniel's. It was the smaller version however, not the big one.

Alcohol is fine, as long as you don't drink for the sole purpose of getting drunk. I drink to have a good time at a party or whatever, but I'm normally the only reasonable sober one left. Still, people leave cigarettes and money and stuff when they leave so you know...
