Do you smoke? (2 Viewers)

[Ms. BRIGHTSIDE]

if you are too much of a pussy to say no to peer pressure/ wanna keep it cool just say something cool like i do:

i keep pretty cool with the ladies in bars n shit then they ask if i want a cigarette and i tell them i quit coz my dad use to be a chronic smoker and he nearly died from a heart attack this year.

Or you could just say no.

 

[Azarnakumar]

yeah but then you look like a pussy fagget and not a hard cunt bad boy like all the chicks want

 

[williamc]

Or you could just say no.

that's never an option when trying to make an impression on a random (girl) you will most likely never see again

I do unfortunately, It's a very bad habit ! I started when I was about Fifteen. Wasn't really addicted until I turned seventeen. Now, I am Eighteen... & am in desperate need to quit. However, Ive realised through all my stress in HSC. It releieves my stress ! DONT ASK WHY ! I have no idea. Peoples, dont start ! Dont even try it ! =)

 

[miaowsha]

If so, when did you start, how many per day, and why do you do it?

1. Yes I do.
2. I had my first cigarette at 13 when I was naive and "rebelling" after my beloved grandmother died and my "friends" at the time told me to not listen to all the warnings and in fact smoking would be stress relief and help my chubby-at-the-time self lose some weight to look more like them. Stupidly, very very stupidly, I listened. I realised I was a pack a day smoker when I was about 14-15.
3. Just < 25 a day to very > 25 a day (a packet a day). Depends on the day. If it's a very stressful day I can smoke 25 in about 3-4 hours. If I'm chilled I can smoke 15ish cigarettes and be okay.
4. I'm addicted and I don't feel like I am capable of quitting at this time. I've quit other addictions before but this one is like my psychological "blanket". I also know that if you don't want to quit you won't be able to and right now I'm focusing on my studies and don't want to hurt my family. Yes; fluffy, weak excuses you'd all probably say and flame me for but this is honestly why.

Lets face it:
-If money bothered smokers so much, we wouldn't keep smoking.
-If we weren't addicted we wouldn't smoke (except in the case of casual or "party" smokers, whom I just don't understand. This addiction is like a disease for me).
-Most of us know it's wrong yet we still keep doing it because of nicotine's power.

>_< Kill me please... If I ever quit smoking I think I'll die of shock anyway. I'm 21 and have smoked for 8-9 years. I have no memory of being a teen and not smoking. The helplines are not very helpful. I have tried quitting.

When I'm ready I may even go to a rehab clinic to try to quit.

Note: Not every smoker is quite as deeply addicted as I am. There is hope for most of you. No amount of bribes from my parents have been enough.
Call me stupid. In this, I am.
If I quit smoking, my parents have told me they will:
-pay for a gym membership
-buy me a car
-help me save the money from smoking and invest it
-send me away on a round-the-world-trip for as long as I wish with whoever I'd like to go with
-pay for uber-expensive teeth-whitening (mine aren't exactly yellow or anything, but just to keep me from smoking and keep me looking good)
-probably give me whatever I spent on cigarettes as spending money on anything.

If I quit smoking, I will:
-be able to breathe
-be able to sing again
-be able to exercise properly
-not have as bad asthma
-not have as bad bronchitis when I get sick and get better much faster
-have more money
-the benefits my parents said they'd give me
-be far healthier
-probably be healthier

However, I need to find a new way to deal with things. Psychiatrists FTW.

To anyone who doesn't smoke, or smokes casually, please stop while you can so you don't end up like me. Smoking does not, I repeat NOT lower your stress levels as it actually increases your heart-rate, stressing you out more. The only "lower stress level" you will experience will be from the dopamine release after getting your hit of nicotine which you were craving.

You get addicted -> You start needing nicotine -> When you don't get your hit you stress -> you smoke -> craving gone = "stress relief".

If you hadn't started, you wouldn't have had the initial stress there.

It's a psychological illusion that it relieves what you're actually stressing about, it only relieves the need for the craving and the stress from it while increasing your heart-rate and making your mood more stressful.

 

[miaowsha]

how is a cigarette satisfying? (just curious)

Just when you're craving and you have it you no longer want it. That's the only real satisfaction you get. The reality is though when you keep smoking you keep wanting it more...

You should follow your own advice ^_^

Obviously this thread exists because people wanted to know. If you don't like it don't read it?

Oh, gee, I'm so sorry I tell the truth and not the fluffy crap you WANT to hear. If you want fluffy crap go read a picture book.

No need to write a fucking article about what to do and not do according to some stupid fuck

I am unfortunately a social smoker.
So when I drink.
Except last summer I used to buy a pack, sometimes two, for a Friday or Saturday night, which was pretty bad for me. And I smoked when I was sober quite a bit last year as well.

Now I do it much less cos my best friend came back from overseas and she hates it and I feel bad doing it around her (cos I'm with her heaps it's a great detterent).

When I'm high or drunk I chainsmoke real bad, although last weekend I only had one woo hoo.

I also understand the feeling of the first draw when you haven't had one for ages and you just .... relax...

I think you should quit while you can. Even give up drinking and stuff for a bit if it would help. Seriously.

Thanks for your care, but, calm down.

As I say, I don't do it very much any more.

I go weeks and weeks without a smoke and don't bat an eyelid.

I can't quit from something I don't really do very much anymore.
