Piss Me Off

Camels for me, mild enough but do the job.

What's the point of having a 'Don't Smoke' option in a cigarette thread?

I don't smoke but I'm picking Malboro just cause it made all the Ferrari F1 cars look awesome when I was growing up. And ol' Damon Hill and his Rothmans shit could go shove it back then.

Marlboro didn't sponsor Ferrari until 1995 i think, they sponsored McLaren for 23 years up until 1996. The red and white McLarens looked awesome though. Do you remember the first BAR cars with the two different liveries? They looked ridiculous.

Yeah kids don't smoke it's bad for you. Lol one of my friends is always telling me to stop smoking, but he lives on Coca-Cola, chocolate cake and chicken fillets and plays video games endlessly, so my lifestyle is probably healthier than his.

Ouch! I always feel sorry for kids whose parents smoke, since even people who smoke outside carry into the house the carcinogens and other toxins that result in children having more lung issues.

So we non-smokers have an excuse to come in and say, "Kids! Don't smoke! It's bad for you!!!!"

Even a few smokers join in...

But Zero, coffee and cake rarely kill! Chicken fillets kill, but hopefully not too many people...though the chickens aren't so lucky.

I always worry about all you smokers. Someone I know of at work who smoked just died two days ago at age 35 from cancer. It was very sad. He had two little kids. I just don't understand why anyone would do something harmful to themselves, knowing of the risks to themselves and others. I guess addiction changes your cost-benefit analysis of smoking?

So, why DO you smokers smoke? Why did you start? I try to get as far away from cigarette smoke as I can. I can't imagine ever putting a cigarette in my mouth or wanting to.

I started the same way as most people really, being a teenager and surrounded by friends that smoked, giving into peer pressure and doing it just to be 'cool' i guess. Now i'm in my early 20's and i'd really like to kick the habit now so i won't be smoking for life but it's not exactly that easy. Smoking when out drinking is the big thing though, cigarettes and beer just go so well together. It's just a hard habit to kick.

Thanks for answering, Zero. I think you are very right that smoking is a very hard habit to kick for most people. One of my aunts who has smoked her whole life developed breast cancer and wanted to quit then, but she *still* couldn't get herself to do so, even after trying patches and all sorts of things. A person I talked with once online said that 25 years after quitting, he still smoked in his dreams!

I wonder sometimes if people who smoke perhaps think life should feel really fun and pleasant or stressfree, or expect themselves to be in a good mood, so it is hard to face the physical and psychological effects of withdrawal, which I hear are pretty bad.

I imagine that quitting does involve avoiding the situations that make one fall into old habits. It's funny though, how people are different, because I absolutely hate the taste of beer (and wine), so I'd never want to combine beer and smoking! It sounds like your fun night out would be my nightmare!

I like your post-it notes, by the way.
