I have been smoking for almost 8 years now. All my stamina is ruined. If I climb stairs or do jogging, I end up in breathing heavily. What do you think smoking is a good or bad habit. I smoke almost one a half pack of cigarettes a day (30 Cigarettes) How much do you smoke if you are a smoker ?

How can smoking be a good habit? I don't get it. I think smoking is a very bad habit, I can't understand how people keep on smoking knowing it's bad for them. I also know it is difficult to stop but with a little strength I believe it's possible.

i'm pretty sure 90% of the world's population can agree that smoking is a pretty bad habit. like you already said, it takes a toll on your body and of course ruins your own health as well as the health of others around you.

I use to smoke but not anymore. As soon as I fell pregnant with my son in 2002, my body rejected the smoke, so it was easy for me to give it up. I'm sure you are aware of how much harm smoking can do to your body and it could only get worse. I know that it is hard to give up too!

Poor you. Of course it is a bad habit, and unhealthy. I have been smoking since I was about 16 years old;when I used to steal them from my mother's pack. I do not know how many cigs I smoke in a day.I buy them from the reservation and they come 200 in a clear plastic bag, and when I buy them they would fill a medium size grocery bag. I enjoy my cig and do not plan to quit yet. Please look around here,in MyLot. There are many great tips on how to quit this dirty habit. Oh. Good Luck to you. If you plant to soon stop.

I never considered smoking a good habit because no matter how much we see it, its still bad for our health. I have friends who smoke, and when i asked them why, they just said that in a way it actually releives stress. I did try before once but i cant because i felt suffocated and i dont like the taste and as well i dont like how it smells after. Even if we chew gum, its still obvious that someone smokes. When i was younger, i just knew that its bad for the health but when i started studying nursing, i came to learned how it damages our body little by little. And its actually the most common factor that people do get sick, it may be related to respiratory or heart or cardiovascular diseases.

I don't think no one will say it is a good habit, even for those heavy smokers. My bf is a heavy smoker, and he knows it is bad, but he can't give up it. I hate the smell very much, so he smoke less and less, he doesn't want to quarrel with me about smoking. I love him very much, so I can understand him. I'm addicted to majiang. It is a gambling game. Now I lost over $200 in half a month. It is over his salary. He is not happy about it. So I try my best to give up it.

i don't know if u expect to hear that smoking is a good habit,definitely its bad and every smoker should try to get over it.By doing so he will do a great favor both to his lungs and the environment. try out chewing gum to keep your mouth busy,this way u will tend to smoke less
