Smoking

[Hyper]

Okay, so this is a huge problem in the US, not sure about other countries. Young people in this country have started taking up this nasty habbit. This is not to.. rag on any smokers here.. but idk, maybe a way to try and stop. I myself have never smoked, so I cannot try to imagine the stress that arises when trying to quit.

 

However, both my parents smoke, not just cigarettes, but that's beside the point. My mother is 36 years old. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28. So I'd like all you smokers out there to think about this. Yeah, it may feel good now, but when you get older, it will start tearing you apart.

 

My mother had to go thru surgery after surgery, and to be quite honest, I was scared shitless. Scared that maybe one day she had surgery, I'd get home from school, to see my step-father crying, along with my grandparents, with the news that she didn't make it, or that the surgery failed.

 

So yeah, maybe we can get some.. stop smoking help thread here. And like.. post other national ways to stop smoking. Because even tho things are all good now.. you never know what will happen later on, and the pain it could cause loved family members..

 

I found this, it's not all serious or anything, but a comical depiction of the truth.

 

 

Thanks for your time,

Both my parents smoke too. I'm rwally worried for them. They say they'll quit, but I stopped believing.

its really nice that you made this thread... I really wish people didn't smoke becuase it affects EVERYONE. second hand smoke is more dangerous than first hand smoke!

>->

no wonder so many ppl have ashtma...

anyways, I'm sorry to hear about your parents... I don't wish this fate upon anyone...

oh and btw, i hnever have, nor will smoke

[Vash_the_Stampede]

Yeah, I went through the same thing as you. It is a very bad habit, & no offence to anybody, a stupid habit. well, on the lighter side, that picture is funny.

[stupidsoul1]

agreed, smoking really has no point unless you are cold....but then you can just put on a jumper or something.

[uwantme2b]

Thankfully my parents don't do it... I will never smoke. I hate it, I think it's just disgusting... they make me feel physically sick.

[.hP.]

smoking is poo

[Toffee]

I think you're all stupid.

Smoking is a stress reliever.

 

If people want to smoke, let them. Who are you to change who they are?!

[twilightcrimson7]

It harms everyone around them. If it didn't, I would say, fine, let them do it to themselves.

[Victim]

I hate it.. I can't stand the smell of it or to see people doing it.. I have a friend who is 13 years old.. she smokes pot and drinks..nothing I can say will stop her.. and I have tried.. My dad tells me all the time.. " People who smoke know what they are doing. So, hey! If they want to destroy their lungs let them go for it." I am not him.. I think we should do all we can to stop the smokers.. Make them realize they are not just killing themselves but everyone around them..

 

Edit: I have never smoked.. Never wanted to.. and I probably never will..

[LPChazlover83]

Yeah i hate it too i can't stand it in my school 90% of the ppl smoke:eek: & i've a friend who smokes like 5 cigarrettes per day i have never smoke & never tryed either!

Right...

 

Smoking a stess reliever? Ok...

 

Your calling people who don't smoke stupid?

 

Were not telling people to change but fine if they wanna smoke then let them.

 

 

Honestly to me smoking is disgusting, how can anyone stand smoking in the first place? I can't stand the smell of it..

 

Edit: I haven't tried it and don't plan on it either.

I agree that smoking is disgusting and I´m not gonna do that ever in my life, I´m sure of it but some ppl do find it stress reliever...it´s just like that..

I knew a girl that smoked cause she wanted to gfeel relieved from the stress..*shrugs*

I think it´s a lill weird..

[misery]

There's a big problem here in Canada too. There are literally hundreds of commercials about the hazards of smoking (one commercial from the Government of Ontario has a chick rubbing dog shit on herself asking the camera why people want to smell like crap, lol)

I think it's disgusting, and I will never date a girl who smokes.

But the biggest problem in my school is chew. Almost half the school chews. It's kind of sick. In fact, a couple of people have tried to get me to chew. I am proud to say I never have though

[Heart_LP]

lol disgusting commercial.

it´s cool that you dont smoke :thumbsup:

many ppl in my school has asked me for chew and smoking too and like tried to get me to do it but I say no too..idk I just get sick by that smell, welll, it´s just disgusting!

Very weird, i really don't get how having a smoke is a stress reliever. Out of all the things to relieve stress, smoking is the option?

 

Huh?

[Heart_LP]

yeah I know it seems werd but well it is how it is.

seom ppl relive there stress buy hurting themselves...

so well this is also kinda self hurting I guess..

[KillMeImIrish]

well, i do think it is a stress reliever, but it's a stupid way to handle stress..

 

cigarettes are nasty. but what about smoking pot?

[Clogz]

Smoking is disgusting. Nothing about it is cool, at all. The smoke makes me gag, it turns your teeth yellow, you smell like crap from all the smoke, and if your under-age you can busted.

Drugs suck. Get high on life.

[twilightcrimson7]

Nicotime is a stimulant, to speeds uo your nervous system and temorarily relieves stress. and It's physically addciting. thats why some people consider it helpful. *sigh*

the tobacco company is has too much power for us to stop them. Its kind of sad, really.

[MrRandomGuy]

yeah, it is sad.

 

I've never smoked, and I never will do something so disgusting

[jomama10691]

Please dont shoot me......

 

Something extremely weird happened in the beginning of the year. last year i was totally against it, i thought it was the most disgusting thing ever, and despised people who smoked in public. i had those tobacco is whacko posters all in my room n shit. agghhhh i dunno what happened but i just...did it. i smoked cigarettes like twice a day, and this was just last month. I'm proud to say that im totally done with it. i stopped myself before any addictions happened, because i know how hard it is to stop. my mom used to be sooo addicted and i used to cry myelf to sleep, thinking that one day she would be gone before her time. i was the one that talked to her when i was like 6, and i was the one that made her quit cold turkey. i was so over whelmed with guilt. it can be a stress reliever, but there are better ways to do that, and the side affects are BLECH, trust me, i know.

LMAO! I saw that commercial,i was like "What the fuck?!" when i first saw it, but it makes alot of sense.

 

My parents dont smoke,i will never smoke either, i think its stupid!!

Bad for you lungs..

 

BTW, Did chester quit smoking??

if he still smokes, he better quit..

[XrockinfreakX]

I dont think he quit. My dad started smoking when he was 18 and after 15 years he started stoping and now he doesnt smoke anymore. I hate the smell of cig. smoke. Alot of my friends smoke they say its releves(sp?) stress, stress my ass. I try to tell them to stop but they dont, one of my friends said never do it even though she does it. Its really sad thinking if they are going to die sooner. I doubt I will ever smoke in my lifetime.

[misery]

My grandma used to smoke. She'd been smoking since she was like 15. She quit when she was like 65 or somewhere around there. She said it's the hardest thing she's ever done, but it was worth it

I'm proud of her.

[4everLP_Shinoda]

My parent´s doesn´t smoke thanx god,but my mother´s mum used 2 do it,she was always smoking a lot and 2 be honest smoking it not good at all,I really hate it.I read once in a book that the more u smoke the less u will be able to breathe.I even have friends who smokes a lot and I´m always telling them that they should stop doing it cuz it´s not good for them but they won´t listen 2 me,so it´s their lives and in the end they are the ones who will die 1st for smoking a lot.

I have had a shocked experience after my mother´s mum passed away,cuz one of the reasons she passed away was of the smoking issue,so i´m so lucky that i don´t smoke.

I remember once I had a dream about me smoking and I was like wtf????I wouldn´t like 2 smoke never in my whole life!!!
