I always wonder why people love to smoke or get themselves to start smoking with no reason. If you can pick one reason up for me, I would appreciate.
Why do you smoke? because of stress? or just want to express yourself to others. I heard many of my cousins, who smoke, said because it looks cool and impress their friends or want to be like their friends. Is that truth?
However, for you... why??? If you have a choice, do you want to smoke? and are you planing to quit?
My DAD smoked since I was a baby until I became 12 years old... he smoked so much and never wanted to stop at all. One day, he became so sick and couldn't sleep well... so he went to see a doctor, the doctor said he will get lung cancer if he doesn't stop smoking. My mom got scare and she afraid that he might got TB, so she separated all plates and spoons and glass just for my Dad. After a while, my DAD felt so lonely and ignoring from my mom, so he decided to quit. It has been for almost 10 years now that he never want to smoke again. Sometimes, I offer him for one and he refuse... lolz, I was so happy when I see he's doing great.

Most of the who smoke because they want to express themselves to others because it looks cool and it impresses their friends but they don't that it is harmful to their own health they are risking their life.Smoking is dangerous to health.

That's what My cousins always told me. they are about 18-20 and they dont smoke at all... I am so glade to see they stay out of it. Smoking is totally wasting money and time, plus you have to pay off in the future life... so I am not going to play with this.

I do smoke only when i am full after eating meals or sometimes when i am stressed. I am not that addict to smoking. Too much smoking will affect many cells in our body especially lungs, kidneys and brain. And we all know, once cells in these organs destroy, it will never regenerate, that's why many smokers are sometimes forgetful, hard to urinate and cause lung asthma. In general, smoking will kill people.

Sound like you know it very well, so why you still smoking tho. I never smoke in my whole life and I never want to smoke either. I have a friend, he smokes and still smoking but when I try so hard to make sure he is not smoking and now he is getting better and more healthier than before. He told me that he still smoke but 50% cut off... this is a big number to me tho... If you know it is not healthy for you then you should stop ok? good luck my friend

I am glad to hear that your dad is doing great. Me, I smoke because I don't have the willpower to quit...yet. Right now, I am concentrating on losing weight. Once I get off of the food habit, I will focus on smoking. No I don't think it looks cool at all. I actually try not to smoke in front of others. I basically only smoke out in my own yard or in my car. It is offensive to a lot of people, and I don't want that. I have four kids, so I don't smoke in my house. I don't want them to breathe the smoke.

Most likely, gain weight could cause of smoking too... but most of my friends are skinny when they are still on smoking... try not to think about it and do something else that help you quit. Try pad or some medicine, it is really bad for your health and your kids... Im glade you are trying and please keep trying to quit ok. nice to talk to you.
