Smoking is a nasty, horrible, money-wasting habit.

Most people that I know who have quite, have done so cold turkey. It is the only way that works.

For you young studs who are just starting, quit while you can. If I were you I would spend some time touring a cancer ward and see what it is like to wear a morphine pump until you are dead.

My younger brother is an Oncologist at Mayo Clinic. My other brother picked-up smoking recently and my doc bro sent him video of him telling people that they are gonna die from lung cancer. The ones with the young children are particularly disturbing. Yea, it is real fun watching them cry knowing that their mommies and daddies will never be around to see their graduation.

I dispise smoking and think that it destroys lives. Some employers are also starting to increase and even refuse to insure some people who smoke.

Not so funny now, is it.

I've heard similar stories of people living forever without any smoking-related illnesses. Shoot, my grandma has smoked since she was 15 and is almost 70 with not ONE cancerous tissue in her body. However, even if you KNEW you woudlnt get anything from smoking, think about how much money would be spent in a lifetime on cigs, also how bad you smell when you smoke, and how crappy you feel when you don't smoke. It's just not worth it.

As for those who smoke weed or other drugs(and want them legalized and all that ridiculous BS)....you've got alot of growing up to do.


And the dip...thats more disgusting than smoking...youre chewing sh*t almost literally and the bulge in the bottom lip part just looks retarded. Then you get a cup to spit it into...yeah i bet that turns the ladies on.

one last quote

if the girls lookz damn good..then that would overpower the nastyness
sorry bro. When youre makin out w/ a girl, usually your eyes are closed so it dont matter how goodlookin she is, I ended up coughing once kissing a girl who smoked while I was in 7th grade...and I've never kissed a smoker since. Worst taste ever.

just looking for a little support and encouragement, not a lecture.
Hey, no problem. I can't help it but lecture on the topic, what I preach is what I believe. Most people that I know that have quite simply do it "cold turkey". Most of them generally get motivated from an event in life that scares them.

If people want to smoke themselves to death, that is their own business. Just be sensitive to those that love and care for you and educate yourself on all the consequences.

By the way, I burried a daughter a few years ago to cancer, not smoking related, but that was my life-altering experience. It really is a ****tty way to go. She did nothing wrong and got sick, so I hate to see people throw their lives away.

There will always be those that defy the odds, Just like running out in front of traffic, you might not get hit by a car, but that does not make the behavior safe.

If you want a quitting aide, visit the 7th floor West of Hershey Medical Center. If you can smoke after that, then well, nothing might work.

I understand that he has a different opinion, which is perfectly fine with me, but instead of stating reasons why he feels that way, he just out of no where throws an insult. then doesn't even say anything to back up his reasons.

weed(or any drugs) = costs $$ = temporary high(pun intended) = do stupid s*** = in the long run, f***'s you up = you'll get arrested if you're caught with it.

The entire reason you get a high from drugs is bc is f***'s up your system. If anyone thinks that messing w/ your system wont have any long term affects must already be f***ed up! and if anyone reading has done weed for 20+ years and doesnt feel stupid, i guarantee you think slower than you would otherwise. And if youre really doing well after this long, do it for 20 more years and we'll talk. I guarantee you'll be so stupid in the head.

(i know its not related to drugs) like mohammad ali, he was fine his whole career and even a good deal afer, but look at him now, all those hits finally handicapped him down the road. It's just not worth it. I guess we don't think the same. And nothing I say will change your mind.

weed, is like smoking except in smoking you cant get arrested and it wont mess with your head. Theyre both a waste of money and is looked down on in the real world.

I dont see how your argument is legitimate danny. Springsstang is already terribly stupid. I dont think drugs can make him any worse.

danny you remind me of one of those guys that try to live life so strictly so they'll have a good, healthy, perfect future...but then when the future comes around and your in your 50's and 60's, you'll be sittin there wonderin where your life went, and why you never had any fun....****, I might be dead by then, but I'll die knowing I had a good time in life..especially since I dont really beleive in life after death

i smoke dro and don't believe it should be legalized. I don't think any drug should be legalized. Smoking is smoking whether it's weed, nicotine, heroine, or meth. It's all bad for you. People that do it, know it's bad for you but they still do it. For those that smoke cigs, they know it's bad, but that's why it's called an addiction! I give it up to anyone trying to stop. They say nicotine is one of the hardest drugs to stop. So Jack if your trying to stop.......mad props!!!!
