even then, it's really a choice. it sucks cause you still really want one, but its really up to you. i hate when people who smoke but dont want to say its not their choice, they smoke now because they're addicted. if anyone really wanted to, they could stop, ive even had people who used to smoke tell me that. its all about will power.

that being said though, i dont smoke cigarettes. i like spending my money on other stuff. its not the health or social aspect of it that pushes me from it, its the price.

Nope, never tried, never want to, never will ;)
Some people i know smoke, and when they come near me im like *walk away...* Lol the smell is disgusting, it does nothing for your health except kill you.

Biohazard has a point, id never go out with someone who smoked either:rolleyes:

a small amount of nicotine wont get you addicted.
& trying it could possibly put you off more.

smoking is a choice, until you're addicted.
which would take about 2 weeks if yr only smoking socially.
few days, if yr smoking regularly.

like above said, it's still a choice once you're addicted, it's just a harder one.

& that is pathetic.
a girl's habits shouldn't make you like her any less. that's like a girl saying to you she's breaking up with you because you chew too loudly, or some other annoying habit she doesn't like. Fair enough avoiding smokers as girlfriends, but if you had a girlfriend who started smoking while you were dating, it would be seriously harsh to dump her for it.
& saying you think less of smokers.. because they suck on a bit of tabacco now and then they're a lesser person? If they're considerate to others and don't annoy anyone else with it, I see no reason to look down on a smoker, especially since they probably wish they weren't one. Just because you never got hooked on something somebody else did doesn't make you superior. do you think less of fat people too?

If he stayed with someone who smoked, it would not only damage her health but his too.
Chewing loudly doesnt kill
smoking does

it wouldn't damage her health? she wouldn't necessarily stop because he dumped her. & it might not damage his, most people are considerate and don't smoke around non-smokers.

drinking kills more people, as does driving.
would you go out with a drinker or someone who drives?

Smokings horrible. I never will.

Nope pretty sure it's drink.
& drink causes death indirectly too. I know smoking can with second hand smoke, but far more die because of drunk drivers etc.

Yeah it does but him dumping her doesn't stop that?
& no there isn't more people who think smoking's fine. Smoking is one of the least socially acceptable things to do. Compare it to drinking - drinking causes more crime, violence, health problems, death.. but it isn't portrayed as as much of an issue because it's socially acceptable and thought of as a normal thing to do.

No but I used to like a bit. Started off doing it when drinking then proper doing it then decided to stop. Went to just when I drank again and now I haven't in like 5 months so proud <3
