I would rather have someone break my neck or slit my own wrist before I slowly kill myself smoking!

My Dad smokes and I do get worried about him because he's continualy coughing and my Grandad died of Lung Cancer
Never Smoke ! Smokers Die Young !

Ugh, there were these group of guys walking home and they were practically boasting "Yeah, I started smoking when I was 9!".. How can you be proud of that?
:S They'd be lucky if they made it to their 21st Birthday I reckon.

I'm 17 and have been smoking since I was 15 - But last week I gave up and have so far been succesful.

I do agree that smoking is awful if you don't smoke because I feel that way now that I have given up. But when you are a smoker you don't think about others around you. You just think about feeding your nicoteine addiction.

To all you smokers out there - Give up! Because you feel much better about yourself both mentally and phsyically if you do.

I have been smoking since I was 12. Not heavy or anything. Once a day max.
Kinda weird hearing non-smokers opinions. Smokers dont smoke to be "cool" you know . And yeah, I experience that from some people all the time. "Omg, your so bad" Its an addiction. It tastes good. It takes some stress off you. On the downside, It kills you .
