POLL: Do you smoke?

Sure Triactus, that's why they would stop smoking weed, but they don't want to

 

I dont smoke *anything*. Im an asthmatic and i'd probably die. My (also asthmatic) friend smokes tobacco and pot... what an idiot

 

European/former smoker

I don't particularly like the scent of burning tobacco but I can tolerate it. My woman, now, that's a completely different story. She wants to rip smoker's heads off!

Every time we go out drinking we have that same argument: me saying that it's not sensible to visit a place one knows contains a lot of smokers and then complain about them. She saying she doesn't care, she feels her rights violated and she wants to have smokers whipped on a regular basis, fascist pigs that they are. Whew.

BTW, I was on vacation in Greece recently and I found out that there isn't any living Greek who doesn't smoke but one shepherd on Samothrakis called Mihalis. Apart from him everyone in Greece is smoking. Regardless of age. Tough.

 

Norwegian (Europe) smoker, tried my first smoke when I was 12 but didn't start as a regualr until I was around 15, now i'm 20 and smoke around 15 pr day, I really wanna quit but I really wanna smoke too ...

Here in Norway reserch show that around 1/3 of the adult population smokes.

1.June this year we got a smoking ban on all pubs/bars and public places , sucks a bit for the smokers but it's only fair that you non-smokers dont have to breather our poison.

Gonna read a book thats suppused to GUARANTEE you quit smoking, hope that helps me!

Wish me luck in quitting!

 

Best of luck. That stuff is known to be physically addictive, so I'm not sure how much reading a book will help. Best of luck all the same!

 

Good luck in stoping!

@BigStick, the way I see it, addiction is mostly a mind thing. Yes, your body "needs" the thing your addicted to, but it's your mind that gives in. You can choose to take what your addicted to (while I may make it sound as if it's real easy, it's not!). And the book probably teaches the reader how to will your body in stoping. Then again, the book might only be a money maker...

Well...actually...that's about it. There is not addictive substance in weed (unless you buy some cheap stuff out of a street corner. Then, you're not sure if it's even weed you're smoking...). The fact that you continue to smoke is entirely up to the smoker. And like everything, there are some people that go too far with it. Actually, it's a lot like alcohol. While it's absolutly non-addictive, you still get some people who are alcoholic...

 

It's called a 'mental' addiction. They get addicted to the feeling it gives them, not the chemical component. Thus you have the problem of the 'hit' being less and less for each time they light up. Eventually they have to go through about 5 times as much weed to get the same 'feeling' as they did with their first puff.

 

I wasn't talking about the weed. I was talking about the munchies after the weed. There will be a worldwide shortage of pork rinds and cheezies.

 

When I was 5-6 years old, I was asked by a friend of my parents to try it out. It tasted bad just like I'd always smelled from my parent's smoking. After that I've never even thought about doing it. Smokers reek of rotten teeth anyway so the manner is annoying to say the least. No offense to anyone here, just the way I see it.

 

@Jaguar, damn munchies!

And you're forgetting the shortage of oreo cookies...

 

Actually, the two ex-girlfriends with whom I had children both smoke and one is asthmatic while my eldest son is apparently asthmatic as well.

 

I've been smoking for one year now. I consider it better than drinking or unpurposely eating, which I did a lot former to my smoking career. Tobacco doesn't alter your behaviour, doesn't make you fat, but may make you ill... I guess there's always a downside.

Update: I'm down to social smoking as if anyone cared... about one pack a month now.
