Discussion Why Smoke?

So I'm just taking a short break from the stuff I need to finish and this sudden thought about how smoking could relax the mind occurred to me. Not only that, some says that smoking enhances their brain performance and calms their mood.

Personally, I don't like smoking (not that I'm allowed to) and it doesn't seem logical to me why people willingly shorten their lives one stick at a time. Care to share your thoughts about why people smoke?

 

People are stupid.

 

I smoke pot because it’s one way to feel close to my late best friend

 

Dunno man, let alone smoking, getting near them make me feel like decreasing my life span.

My friends said it's addicting and one of them are struggling to stop, he's been off for like 4 months.

Smoking & drinking are the same to me, I tried to stay away from them. Addiction is not a good thing

 

I can't stand smoke,it irritates my nose,eyes and throat,whenever I see people smoke I will go away as far as possible

 

We have novel addiction. It mainly messes up with our sleep, eye and productive time.

Now imagine smoking addiction with everything it can bring. I don't want none of that.

 

It doesn't really help you relax, aside for the comforting sensation of you doing something that has become a habit. It helps your mind go back to normal state after being deprived of nicotene, though

 

In my opinion it’s because stress gets to some people, or other circumstances, and they can’t handle them too well so some people just start doing they like it and it becomes a habit. After some time it just turns from habit to routine i guess

Fyi never smoke just bored

 

I will paraphrase some saying my friend say :
"It helps me drown in my own pains physically."
"Enjoying the taste of smoking is like eating really good food, except that it kills you too."

 

I don't smoke but my guess will be peer pressure and advertisement. Like "hey, that cool guy smoke, bet I will look cool like him too if I smoke" or "the cigar in his mouth make <insert popular actor/actress here> looks badass, I can be like him too if I smoke" kind of thing.

 

why do people envy others?
why do others eat much more than me?
why do others eat much less than me?
why do others cheat their partners?
why do other people like to have long hair?
why do i even ask questions?


welp why am i asking this things?

darn i'm also sleepy. . .
goodnight.

ps: they just want to, and we can stick a tons of reasons why they do it, but it just boils to they do it or they don't,

 

Many people use a cigarette as a remedy to make them calmer, to concentrate better, or helps against boredom.

 

It calms my nerves, i can feel my muscles untightening.

 

i once roll a paper, burn the papaer, and tried to smoke.

It didn't work out

 

I do it cause I like it. Besides, I'm a believer in moderation and sometimes I need a little something something to moderate my mood .

Be happy.

Don't be judgmental. :O

It's a person's choice and you will never know when you choose to do it too.

 

Nope...

 

do you asking da youngster or older one?
if you mean youngster especially male
they think it will make they look cool, or just follow da trend or well since mah priends do dad than let do it bruh~ ~ you will be amazed how such thing really happen~ often~

for da older one
it similar with alcohol
you can choice do it or not

put addiction aside

to stop smoking it only require 2 thing
~ hard reason coming from the one who smoke not from outside advise, I mean the person itself~
~ stop smoking without blablabla change da brand or turn to candy or turn to whatever

 

Smoking is not good for your lungs!!! ... As mummy says.
I personally don't like the smell of smoke, it's too overpowering.

 

Well, I've read that the effects of smoking is worse to secondhand smokers than the one who is actually smoking since they are directly inhaling the stuff while the smokers were inhaling it with a filter. So yeah, your lifespan is really decreasing, buddy.

Does it work? Won't you just feel more empty afterwards?

+1 on novel addiction
The carton pretty much depicts what you'll get with smoking...

That sound like something coffee does haha.

Well, I guess habits are really hard to get rid of. I've read something about how sauna could flush away the nicotine left inside your body and thus helps if one wants to stop smoking.

True, it kinda looks cool if you ask me. But dying early is definitely not cool at all

 

Thats something only a 13 year old would say. Kids who smoke have shitty parents who smoke. Adults smoke from stress, usually.
