Ciggerettes

I have cut down drastically on my smoking habits lately, but I still love smoking. I honestly love it. It's probably the best thing ever. I don't have any cigarettes right now. I'd be killing someone by now if I smoked near as much now as I did a week ago.

 

I get tired of the, "Everybody dies" bullshit.

Some people die at 55 from lung cancer and others have a heart attack at 98.

It's cut and dry. If you smoke cancer sticks long enough, you'll die sooner than later.

Getting hit by a bus is a chance happening. Dying early from habitual cig smoking is pretty close to 100%, I would guess.

 

Me too :cheers2: I don't like the taste of cigarettes anymore, rollies are much nicer. And waaaay cheaper. And slightly less poisonous

 

I don't like being chained to big business on a everyday basis...so I dont smoke..

 

I doubt it.

People eat fast food and get fat and die, but no one has hour long lectures about that....

No one is perfect.

 

Apparently you missed that one, but yes there was.

That no one is perfect bullshit is just something people tell themselves to feel better about short comings. Nobody IS perfect, but a ton of people shoot for it.

 

Im giving my money to RJ Reynolds.... God these Camel Infusions are good.

 

Buy your cigarettes from reservations? Honestly, that's a cheap, pointless hippie excuse.

 

smoking cigarettes is a respectable way of slowly committing suicide.

if cigarettes weren't so fantastic, I'd be on the 'it's a disgusting habit' banwagon... but ya know. 'dipping' .. that's a disgusting habit.

 

Old black ladies love snuff.

 

That is actually true.

 

Do you want the 1 hour fast food lecture? I can do one, for a small fee.

Seriously, I don't think anybody ever benefits from smoking lectures. My dad knew several people who died young from smoking-related illnesses. It didn't slow him down. And after he died suddenly at age 59, none of his friends who smoked made any attempt to quit.

The medical facts are out there, take them or leave them. It is what it is.

 

define perfect?

Is perfect the laid out expectation that everyone else has suggested, or is what you define for yourself?

 

My mother.
My father.
My maternal grandfather.
My maternal grandmother (second-hand smoke).
My mother's only brother.
My closest sister.
My oldest brother.
My last supervisor.
My ex-girlfriend's father and grandparents.

I could go on all day. I won't. Smoking cigarettes will kill you. I don't care how much you hate authority, they ain't making that shit up. Yes, you will die of something before you turn 100. But if you smoke you will die sooner. I like my odds better and I smoked for 30 years.

 

I agree. i quit almost two years ago and it was so worth it.

 

PS-I am one of the most weak willed people I know. Andy made me quit and he's a non-smoker, so that helped. I could never do it before that.

 

I could if I wanted to, I choose not to.

I've plenty of times quit for a couple of months... or a few weeks... so it's not that I can't. I've chose not to.

 

Then I'll stop being a nag because it's none of my buisness and I have no room to talk when it comes to unhealthy habits.

 

And I swore that I wouldn't get all religious about my being a non-smoker when I became one.

But I will tell you this: I can hike 20 miles of mountain trail with a 30 pound pack. A year ago that would have taken my life.

 

Just bought a pack of Camel Lights! Score one for the good guys!

Yeah, I was kinda surprised at first, but then I thought about it and it makes perfect sense.
