fuck cigs
 

stupid corporate slavery self hate bullshit argh the months i have wasted with nothing else on my mind but cigs and how i should quit them and finding excuses to keep smoking them and overriding my own judgement and giving into the inevitability of going to buy them. its fucking stupid.

i used to think they were so punk rock and cool. when i smoked my first one at age 13 it was a pretty fuckin exciting thing. and i still have desire for them constantly.

but when i look back on the time ive wasted smoking, and all the other shit i coulda been doing its overwhelmingly sad/pathetic.

fuck cigs forever.

spending time giving into such a basic stupid desire is pissing me off.

Really though.. they're a waste of time and money completely. I always told myself that I would never date a girl that smoked cigarettes... But, it hardly bothered me at all really when I had a girlfriend who did.
Anytime I brought up her smoking, she brought up my ganja smoking

I like cigars very much , and I can't stand filter cigarettes anymore.
Smoking is one of the finest activity I know.

^^ This

I don't smoke myself, but I find smoking cigs so stupid. I have loads of friends (one of which is like, 15) who smoke cigs, and I can't fucking understand how you could waste all your money in such things

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ni'k again.

yes smoking is pretty stupid. but there are a lot of things that are pretty stupid... so yeah who cares?

i wish i could quit smoking RIGHT now.
i'm not even going to start discussing the whys and the hows.
i'm not confident enough to quit.
I think i might within the next couple of years.
I'm starting to really "feel" the smoking in a bad way.
I'm 31. I started smoking at 15. I have spent more time as a smoker than as a non smoker.
so it's difficult to picture myself in a number of daily situations without the usual cig. It's not so much a money thing. I smoke roll-ups and i buy a pack a week, so it's not an issue.
but it's just no good.
+ i wish my son didn't see me smoke.
too late
smoking is stupid.
don't smoke.

yes I dont wanna do it forever, but as long as I will smoke I gotta enjoy it or it will be toally stupid. do what ever you enjoy, if its smoking its ok. and if its munching fast food all day long its okay, too. but you will grow fat and it will be moe unhealthy then smoking 2 packs cigs a day, hahahaha

shut up you morons!!! i'd die for a ciggie right now!!![/sarcasm]

i really do want to quit now. i have been thinking about it more and more recently and it will do my health so much good. its just when i drink thats the problem.

ok...

But if you don't smoke you're a square and a pussy.

You have to weigh out the pros and cons.

I smoke a few cigarettes a week. They're smooth. I buy like six packs a year.

i cant believe i used to think like that.

it was only about 2 days ago aswell.

im off them and its great.

already feeling happier, more content. listened to loads of new music. been productive.

my plan is to avoid all thought of them and to spend all my money on records thereby keeping me too poor to go and get a pack

Almost nobody I know who smokes wants to keep smoking. They almost all of them want to quit.

What does that tell you about how "cool" it is? It ain't.

it is incredibly cool for a while tho. well it was to me. until it gets to the point were its fucking up yr health seriously, you look horrible, yr coughing upflem every few minutes, you stink, yr out of breath, yr afraid, you cant concentrate and all that shit.

The book ALLEN CARR'S EASYWAY TO STOP SMOKING - which you can easily download a pdf of on a torrent site is REALLY AMAZING.

i read it ages ago and its what got me over the entire fear/pyschological shit. it requires no willpower.

i sound like some fucking add but still if you wanna quit READ THAT BOOK.

it even encourages you to smoke while you read it.

now i always said i would rather die of lung cancer than read a self help book - so you know i'm not just being whiny and annoying you with some positive thinking bullshit.

I'd love to quit, and I could if I really wanted to ;)

You're beginning to see the light. Cigs are pretty much the most un punk things ever. Unless you buy from native americans, then that is kind of cool I guess.

fuck all that "corporate" bullshit. itd be the same thing if heroin was legal it would to be "corporate slavery self hate bullshit". its your own choice. i love nicotine, ive quite sucesffuly before, but found i would rather live with a nasty chest cold and poor breathing skills because i simply lie tobacco. people these days spend way to much time perfecting thier bodies to live long lives. well, what i learned the other night is perfect body or not, were all gonna die, quicly and without reason. so, you might as well do what you enjoy doing while youre here.

I've been smoking my throat raw this weekend because I'm auditioning for a cd thing tomorrow and I want my voice to sound more scratchy and such. Whether or not it'll pay off, we'll see.

Anyway, my plan is to quit when I graduate college. Hopefully I can make that happen.

You got rep!

I smoke cigs and enjoy it. However, I could do with cutting down a bit at the moment (for financial reasons more than everything).

Everybody knows smoking is dumb.

And everybody knows that young people will always think it's cool (same as drinking), which is why they talk about it so much.

I just take smug satisfaction in the knowledge that 2 in 3 smokers will die a slow, lingering, painful death. Ho hum.

*cough cough smoker's cough*

Reminds me of the Conor Hamill sketch on "The Day Today" - "Do I look cool? Well do I? DO I?"

i only smoke when I drink. which is pretty often, eh.

some deaths are more prolonged and painful than you expect. deteriorating health is not as romantic as it seems, especially when you have to wear a voice box.

my grandmother's emphisema was no picnic. she drowned from the inside. the whole thing took many months which i'm sure were terrifying for her.

in other words, you're fucking dreaming, son. and yeah it's all a crapshoot, but you're diminishing your odds at a fast rate.

including your capacity to have fun.

plus you're contributing to world hunger

Okay, you're talking about two different things here, I guess in some attempt to justify what you're doing.

Spending way too much time to perfect your body is one thing. Taking common sense precautions so you can enjoy life not merely for as long as you can but also as fully as you can is quite another. How enjoyable is life at 40 gonna be if you have heart and lung diseases, you can't walk a block without becoming short of breath, and you're constantly craving that next cigarette?

oh no, he's not going to reach 30-- he's dying at 29 you see. or so he thinks anyway.

well, I guess if you've only got 12 months or less to live, that's a whole other case.

Jesus, kids.

as much as i love smoking, clean lungs are feeling pretty good right about now.

You'll find a lot of things are better. Your taste buds will wake back up, for one thing.

well, i didn't smoke every day so i wasn't that bad.

i would have probably said this if someone else had posted the thread and i hadnt quit yet.

i guess it isnt really POSSIBLE for someone who is still at the "this is all good" stage of smoking to understand the desire they have in themselves to do it as ever possibly a bad thing. their brains are giving them a little dopamine hit everytime they smoke. it is new, novel, feels good.

eventually it will fuck them over.it is inevitable if you smoke.

everthing fucks you over if you overdo it, even food

i still haven't smoked a cigarette (or took a drag off of one) in my 26 and counting years of life. i never plan on smoking either. almost all of my friends smoke though. i'm used to it, but i just hate it if i start to smell like smoke. another reason i like living in nyc opposed to florida is that there's no smoking in bars. i hated that shit.

smart.

even water.

I smoked tobacco for a decade, it is terrible. I decided to quit, i cut down for three months, then I just stopped. Its been a year, it is miraculously life changing. stick with it, cigarettes are genocide.
