Is this a poor attempt at making yourself seem cool? I don't think anyone with a reasonable ammount of intelligence would think smoking is cool.

I mean, I'm already exposed to smoke (not my parents) either way people in my community smoke, its around you... I'm damned with second hand smoking... It gives me a headache, I don't believe stress is relieved.

1) smokeing DOES NOT releave stress. The only stress it relives is streess caused by being adicted to smokeing already.
^^ medically proven FACT
2) smokeing takeing 6 minutes off your life is in genral from the lung capsity lost, it exsclides the millions of relacted desiers that are quite capable of removeing a good 50 or 60 years of your life, even from just ONE.

Well i think it does relieve stress, when i am stressed i think "oh i need a cig" and when i have one i am calmer.

That's what he meant by point 1. The stress in that situation is caused by the need for nicotine, and then you have a cigarette and everything's fine again. When you're stressed about other things and you smoke to relieve it, that again is just relieving the underlying stress of not having "enough" nicotine in your body, which makes you feel better. In that way I suppose smoking is a sort of stress relief, but it's certainly not the best one, and doesn't work unless you're addicted ^_^
