Becoming a smoker... I feel dirty
2004-11-26, 8:50 PM #41
I've been smoking about half a pack for the last two years. I started smoking for the only "logical" reason, the only reason [in my opinion] anyone starts smoking. To fit, to look cool. But I do believe I am in a minority, I actually enjoy smoking, and I have no intention on quiting. Nicotine and caffeine are my only vices, but I am COMPLETELY addicted to both, I get headaches if I don't smoke and I become quite... "***hole-ish". There is nothing I really enjoy more than going for a long wlak with my heaphones and a couple good CDs and smoking my brains out.

Am I healthy? No. Do I care? No. Is this irresponsible ? Yes.

Never cared for smoking myself, though the smell of pipe tobacco is pleasant. I don'tknow why. Maybe I'm just strange.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, since I can't even stand a single puff of a smoke when sober. When I'm drunk it's the complete opposite of course...But ya I find cigarettes to be pointless, though I can see how some people could get addicted.

Also to whoever that said nicotine is a depressant, I'm pretty sure its a stimulant.

I prefer to smoke weed, and I do it alot. I would say that I am physchologically addicted, but this doesn't really bother me. I get along with my life fine (smoke weed almost everyday, multiple times a day). Sure its damaging my lungs but I don't really care. It's worth it to me. As for the effects on the brain, I really don't think it has any. I can function just fine, high or sober (i could easily write an exam high and do well), and it hasnt really had any long-term impact besides my short-term memory...And who needs that anyway? :p

Oh, and the main reason I do it is cus it stimulates my creativity. You can give me all that **** about how creativity shouldnt come from drugs, but I'm a really creative person even sober, so weed just enhances it. It isn't the drug producing the creativity, it's still me...it Just allows me to focus more on it and think clearer.

I hate when the stench of cigarette smoke gets stuck in your hair or clothes if you hang out at a smoke laden place for too long.

I don't smoke, I've tried it, sure, like everybody else, but I don't see the appeal in it. I've probably ingested enough unfiltered second-hand smoke because of my dad's pipe and unfiltered cigarillos as it is throughout my lifetime.

Oh, and kissing someone who just finished one? Bleh.

One thing I really hate about smoking...

the anti-smoking ads. They're pathetic. Such as one commercial that was playing awhile back that blamed a house being burned down by people falling asleep with a cigarette on the tobacco companies. Because we all know a person should never be responsible for handling something with an open burn irresponsibly.



Smokers, please think of us who have to sit through these without reason! :p



Besides, wouldn't the money be better if funded towards putting stuff like Nicoderm CQ and such under medical insurance? That way people actually have a stepping stone to quit, not just a reason?

the anti-smoking ads in the UK are real effective.

specially the clogged arteries one.

Cigarettes are for women and girly-men. Real men smoke cigars and pipes, and drink their whiskies neat. If you think a cigarette gives you a high, man, you haven't seen nothing yet.

Oh, and I've never smoked. I don't really want to, either. I can't stand the smell of smoke, so definitely not an option for me.

I don't smoke, but i have no problem with anyone who wants to smoke. I don't really mind the smell either. I used to hate it but since a couple of my friends started to smoke it doesn't bother me anymore.

I smoke pot on a regular basis most of the time, have been for about 5 years now.. But I never smoke cigs. I hate em, cant stand the smell, and the taste they leave in your mouth afterwards makes me literally puke. I can't stand it. But the smooth taste of Pot is great :)

I rarely drink, for the simple fact that being drunk sucks to me. I don't like the feeling of the woozyness, or the taste for that matter.

but nothing would compare to cigs for me.. I hate them.

While very very fun, acid aint something you should **** with too often...It really does mess with your head. I loved it though..its like shrooms without all the bad feelings.

if i could, i'd live the rest of my life on an acid buzz.

although i know a few people who had to attend a mental wing of a hospital for some time.

25 tabs in 5 days without sleep sends you crazy i hear.

Marijuana, is not a drug. Marijuana, the hemp/weed/plant part of the bud, is not a drug. It is a plant.

THC, the active ingredient which gets you "high" (which is the crystals you can see on Marijuana plants), is a drug.

Therefore, Marijuana, is not a drug. THC is.
