people who smoke

they have lots of problem that why they wants to shorten there life.lol:)

My husband and I both smoke. We started when we were young and even though we know it's not good for us, it is an extremely addictive habit and very hard to break. We have cut down some, but we still have a ways to go. Congratulations to anyone who has broken this habit, especially after many years of smoking.

I'm no smoker myself but I just got this answer from someone I know who smokes.

Even though smoking can cause you cancer, skin disease, put holes in your lungs, give you bad breath, rot your teeth, steals 7 seconds of your life per stick, hair problems, heart disease, weaker muscles, eye blurriness, and damage your brain cells, the taste of the cigar/cigarette you smoke is worth it. It's just like reaching for a jewel in a fire.

Anyway, people who smoke either likes just likes taste or just wanted to have a "cool" image to their peers.

I smoke because I enjoy it...and I feel less stressed.Yes I do understand It is addictive.The other night there was a forum on the television addressing air poloution.In Sydney Australia alone,between one thousand and fourteen hundred peolpe die of lung related illness each year,due to poloution emmited from vehicles.I also feel chemicals we use daily durning our domestics,and spraying in the farming industries also contribute.There are many folk who die of lung related illness whom have never smoked.I feel we must do the math,surly all these folk do not die because off others cigarette smoking?
Only a few weeks ago I meet a woman who had given up smoking and drinking....she added.."That was when I had a life"..why did she give up smoking?well it was not because of all the horrid pictures and warning on the packets..nor was it the television commercials where people are dipicted as asking for a packet of smokes,only to be asked
"What disease would you like,lung cancer,heart attack"? etc.
The Chap in the commercial replies "Oh just give me gangrene"!
She gave up smoking because she felt ostracized,nice one people.
I feel alcohol does more damage,domestic violence,drink driving,maiming of innocent people then cigarettes has ever done.
One day these pleasures may both wittness prohibition,perhaps then everyone will be happy.One thing for sure I personally do not, and will never be pressured into a decision brought on by guilt,and scare tactics.In all fairness as I have mentioned we must do the math,to me cigarettes are being used as a scape goat,why is it so?......beats me.

because nicotine gives addiction to the user.. and advertisments are big impacts to attract consumers

They enjoy it, they are addicted or it comforts them for what ever reason. I have to disagree with the first poster though. Both set of my grandparents smoked. On my dad's side, both lived to be in there 90's. My mothers parents lived to be in their late 80's. I don't feel it shorten their lives any. They enjoyed it, and alot of the problems blamed on smoking are not caused by smoking or they can't prove that it does.
Studies have been conducted, one factory that employ's 500 people puts out more polution in one day, that can cause cancer, emphasmia(?sp), COPD, and many other conditions, normally blamed on smoking. It affects everyone in different ways, wish people would lighten up on smokers and stop, listen to smoker progandia. It reminds me of the film Refer Maddness.

Some do it just to try it out, then regret it because they can't stop. That's all that I know XD
