Why do you smoke?

[sLaggings]

1 Cigarette cannot cause death as little as one year later. Many people who smoke do not develop lung cancer, however it does increase the risk. I'm not saying that it won't one day kill me I am just saying your example of pumping gasoline into your veins is totally irrelevant.

It's just another way of killing yourself because you want the pleasure before-hand.

Smoking just 1 cig can kill you in as little as a year later.

Well that's simply not true. There's no way to show that as even being a possibility

Yeah, it won't cause an 'instant' death, but at the end, you're still either going to die instantly from gas intake or years down the road from lung cancer. Even if you're not going to die 'instantly', it's still killing you, just for some 'benefits and enjoyment'.

Not sure what facts you read up on but although smoking increases risks of such things it certainly doesn't make them definite. You can't say "if you smoke you WILL die of lung cancer" and many many counts of the world's oldest people claim that smoking has always been a big part of their lives

There was a study in america of that, I remember it on ABC or NBC or CNN or something.

Anyways, it does 'increase' your risks, but it's almost universally known your going to get some kind of health problem from smoking, and it's just getting worse year after year.

But even if you don't, why play russain roulette with your health for a few minutes of a nicatine 'high' a day?

My dad smoked since he was very young until he died of natural causes aged 69 without ever developing lung cancer or any other smoking-related illness.

When I was 11, two of my friends tried it so I thought EVERYONE had and didn't wanna feel left out, except they were like 13 at the time. It's actually really easily for me to stop & start so it's not because I'm addicted, nor is it because I think it's cool I just actually enjoy it

Yeah but to be fair it does look pretty cool as well.

[FlyingJesus]

I get told it looks too big in my mouth :eusa_whis


actually there's a massive geek in my college course that smokes and she's like 25 and i'm pretty sure she doesn't do it to look cool and if she does she fails

i only really smoke if im drinking or if im drunk. i guess its just they "hey, **** it" attitude you get when you're drinking that makes me do it.

i dont hate smokers, im fine with people smoking around me or near me. its their choice, so i respect their opinions. i just wouldnt normally smoke sober.
