myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 1 out of 19,055 in questions & answers5 months ago



me, i am not a smoker...but i have tried it when my age is about 18-20 something like that...i try it coz i saw most of my friends that time smoking and it looks like they really enjoy it...and they feel like they are "cool" doing those things...and so i try it and ask them to teach me...but i am not good on it coz i don't even learn how to puff properly...and i just ended up coughing and coughing...but still there are times that when my friends are smoking they are giving me too...and so i am pressured to smoke also...but one is too much for me...

now, after i experience that, i don't really enjoy it...and i am thinking what makes a person likes it? and why some even get addicted on it?

my father is a chain smoker then, he can empty 1-2 packs daily...but now, he laready quit smoking...for what reason, only he does know, but i think maybe because he already feel something with his health...but i'm happy that he already quit...as in totally quit!

they also say that smoking is bad for our health (which i also believe) but why is that my grandmother is still healthy and don't have any sickness and still in good health? when she is a smoker herself? she smokes 1-3 pcs per day i think and she started smoking when she's still young...and now she's almost 70 but still smoking! huh!confused

what do you think?
you? have you ever tried smoking? at what age? do you like it? are you still smoking till now? or you want to quit already?
thanks!

i started at 15 and really liked it but i've stopped now - i never smoked that many though - less than half a pack a day. sometimes it leads to health problems and sometimes doesn't like for your grandmother. i know friends can pressurise people to smoke so it's good you never started. jb

oh, i think 15 is very young...but good that you already quit...
was curiosity can be a reason, that's why some people try it at very young age...specially males...
thanks!

I have still not tried it and would like to advocate that all the mylotters should support this fact that quitting tobacco and ciggarette is for the good of humanity.Have a good day

I tried smoking when i was like sixteen or so but stopped there.I thought it was cool when a person smoked so i tried cigarettes and even weed.But that really wasnt for me cause it left a dry bitter taste in my mouth and that was more than i bargained for.
My step-dad is a smoker,we have been bagging him to stop to no avail.I really wish he would.
I dont want to be with a guy who smokes or drink and its worst when they do both.Boy the smell coming out of their mouths is so foul it can make you vomit.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 1 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  5 months ago

yes i also feel like that during those days...my friends looks nice while puffing their cigars and looks like a socialite! hehehe and its just that i feel different when they are all there smoking and making nice shapes from the smoke and i am just there on one side absorbing all the smokes that they blew...and so i try! hehehe but never tried weeds!
i also agree that smoking left bad odor in the mouth...and can even makes the color of the lips darker...i think.
i'm just thankful that i marry a man who do not smoke...

thanks for sharing friendship!happy

I have tried smoking sometime when I was still in high school, but I didn't like the taste and the smell of it. It makes my shirt smells so disgusting and my breath smells pretty bad after smoking. That's why I didn't like it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 1 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  5 months ago

hehehe...i also have classmates when i am in high school who tried smoking...i think they feel that they are more manly if they are smoking! hehehe
but its good that you didn't come to like it... thumbup
and yes its smell is really disgusting and just disgusting! hehehe

thanks for sharing!happy

Sadly I started smoking around the time I turned 13 and now twenty odd years later I am still a smoker, despite trying to quit several times.

Like many people I started because it was perceived to be the cool thing to do and also because it was a bit rebellious for me to smoke. I wish I hadn’t started as not only have I spent a huge amount on smoking over the years but also because I now find it so hard to quit and yes I do want to quit.

Part of the trouble is that smoking is habit forming, you get into a routine as to when you smoke, be it first thing in the morning, or after meals and breaking that habit is extremely difficult. Plus for me I find it de-stresses me, but that is in my case and many people do not get the same feeling from smoking.

My advice to anyone is not to even try it even out of curiosity as all it takes is for you to enjoy that first smoke and you can be hooked for life.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 1 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  5 months ago

hello there!
i think its not too late for you to quit...if you really want to quit smoking i think motivation should come from you and be determined...
look at my father...he was a smoker since he's on his teens...but quit smoking at age 47 i think...so long before he stops but at least he's now successful in quitting...and you will be surprise to know how he do that...my mom told me that on the day before he stops smoking, he have a half pack of cigars...and he said.."i will empty this today and tomorrow i will not smoke again." and it happens! hahaha even me is surprised to know that coz many years before, we are always telling him to stop coz it bad...but he don't listen and so we stop telling that to him and let him do what he wants...until he finally decided to stop it himself! and motivation and determination comes from him...but i think withdrawal process is not easy... sad

that habit forming...mmm i saw that with my grandma, she smokes every after meal...with coffee on the side! hehehe

that's a good advice from you... thumbup

thanks!

Hi Kyera! I am not smoker. I tried to smoke when I was 16. One of my friends told me that if you want to read more at night, then you have to smoke. Smoking allows a person to keep awake for long time. So I started smoking but I did not get good result. Rather a bad smell was coming out from my mouth as a result of smoke. Since then I did not touch cigarette. Have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 1 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  5 months ago

hi aminul!
really? it can keep me awake for a long time? hmmm maybe i should try it again so that i can do more here...hehehe just kidding! so its effect is like coffee?

hahaha...so its good that you notice early that smoking leaves bad smell on the mouth! hehehehappy
thanks for sharing1


myLot reputation of 90/100. aminul8427 (1231)   ranked 705 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  5 months ago

No my dear friend! Please do not touch cigarette, if you are a non-smoker. It does not give you anything. I did not get any benefit out of it. Moreover your bed partner will be annoyed for bad smell of your mouth.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 1 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  5 months ago

hey aminul, i'm just kidding! hehehe

i can still touch a cigar but i will never use it! its not good for me i know and i will be shameful if i do that coz my husband is a non smoker!

thanks for the concern!happy
