Yeah, so...maybe you should kick the habit before it gets worse. ;)
Smoking ISN'T cool.

I wish my father would stop smoking. He's been smoking since he was a teenager, and now he's 54...we've tried everything to get him to stop. Not only is he hurting himself, and damaging his lungs, but he's spending tons of money on this crap that we could use. ( Whenever they show those commercials of what's happening to your body when you smoke on TV, and we tell him to watch it, he just gets pissed off and disregards it. lisighli

thanks you made me quit.

your a lifesaver

omg thanks!!!!!

Easier said than done, I'm afraid. ( It's not like smokers aren't aware of what we're doing to ourselves, but we seem to overlook it..

Nothing crueler than a hot chick that you're into smell like smoke. It's nauseating.

I was a smoker for 9 years and its been 6 months since I've smoked. I'm glad I quit early... I used the gum.

I can't seem to get my parents to quit either. Both have been smoking since their teenage years, now they are 50 and 54. My dad (50) is trying to quit, but now he's back to smoking his usual 2 packs a day '(

Nicotine's hold after a while is absolute. If hes been smoking that long chances are hes not gonna quit no matter how many times "MC stay in school" talks about the obvious dangers in some two bit commercial.
Hes gonna do what hes gonna do and worry about the consequences later.
does he at least have the decency to smoke outside?

You STILL didn't give credit to digg. ?

Yeah. But it's gross, we can smell it from inside the house, and when he walks back in, we can smell it all over him and his clothing and whatnot. It's gross. My father wouldn't smoke indoors...second hand smoke is just as dangerous, if not more.

You started smoking when you were 13!!! I'm glad you quit. D

The smell of smoke doesn't bother me, I kind of like it but then again I smoked for years and recently quit

I smoke socially, but I feel myself craving them more, so I'm going to stop for a few weeks.

But TFOAF, don't preach to people, it's an individual choice to smoke.

My father had kidney cancer and was in the hospital for several weeks for treatment as a result of smoking for 35 years. His cancer was treated by removing his left kidney, and he has oncologist visits every 6 months to check for re-occurances. He was medically unisurable for 5 years following his diagnosis.

At least once a week I regret not having asked him more often to stop smoking sooner.

i only smoke when i feel like it.

which is rare.

my grandpa died of lung cancer. I smoke for the taste if anything and don't inhale.

I appreciate cigars more than cigarettes.

I quit back in october once and for all and haven't really looked back. My lung capacity seems greatly improved, also helps I am much more active now. I was curious about the long term effects and if I am still young enough to overcome them. Kinda sad to see i'll be at risk for heart disease until my mid 30s.

Really isn't worth it anymore once you stop and look at it.

There is a reason that the percent of those that have graduated college that smoke is half that of those that only graduate high school.

I have had multiple relatives with problems from smoking, ultimately leading to their early death.

Good job quiting. Good thing too, price is going up again.

Not from native americans. ;)

my neighbor who got cancer and had to have is voice box removed, has to talk with a vibo thing, still smoks even after it causing him that cancer /

i dont know why people even start to smoke.. everyone you talk to that smokes is trying to stop, yet some dumbasses thinks its a good idea to start.

I'm a smoker. I will quit when I feel ready, not because of scare tactics.

I think most people either start as rebellious teenagers, or as occasional smokers("I only smoke when I drink") when they enter college. The amount of stress from college, on a young person can certainly feed a nurturing addiction like cigarettes.

Cigarettes have a calming effect over a person, so someone might start as a social smoker, but find themselves taking smoke breaks in between studying for the big test. It relaxes you, and comforts you when you need it.

When you are drinking, it just makes drinking that much more enjoyable, it elevates your buzz slightly without making you sick. It is also a social activity. When you are around people all smoking, you feel the desire and need to smoke yourself. So now imagine a group of 5 people all social smokers, who are friends and always surrounding themselves with other smokers.

The amount they smoke will increase, and it becomes harder and harder to quit when everyone around you is a smoker.

I don't think anyone who smokes the occasional cigarette, and then finds themselves buying maybe a pack or two a week set out to do so in spite of all the facts. So don't rip a smoker if you have no idea why or how someone can become addicted.

i really dont give a damn.. i have smoked a couple cigars at weddings and such in my time and dont find myself at the gas station the next day buying a pack of cigs. if you want to smoke by yourself or with other smokers.. fine.. do whatever you want to yourself and the smokers around you.. but i cant stand people that light up right beside me and blow that shit in my face and stinking up my clothes.. im glad they issued the smoking ban here in ohio.

I never smoke around non-smokers without asking them if it is ok first. I don't smoke in my house, car or around my kid.

If a non-smoker says they would rather I not smoke around them, I don't.

No need to be hostile.

oh so you did mean to come off like an uniformed jackass, sorry my mistake.

Cigars aren't like cigarettes, they aren't inhaled, thus no nicotine, and no addiction.

People that bitch about second hand smoke really irritate me. I agree people shouldn't be smoking around kids, but one cigarette worth of second-hand smoke is not a big deal.

I smoke, its either that or putting a hole in someones head, which I found out is illegal.

I like to fart, but I know others around me don't want to smell my farts, so it's not acceptable for me to fart in a crowd. The same concept applies here.

Well, sometimes you fart without meaning to. You can not smoke a cigarette, and not mean to. But I get where you are going with it. Not many people know I smoke, and the people who do know - are smokers. And thats the way I like to keep it.

Seriously...

I quit for 6 months before college....when i hit college BOOM the stress was a killer and i started again...smoked all 4 years of college, and now stopped.

The drinking in college let alone...omg... a smoke with a beer...the best.

It was the best way to calm me down from somethin

Ps. I was always a curitosy smoker, if someone said something...I would move...and i never smoked around little kids...and used to smoke in my car until I got a new car then never smoked in the car.

You can keep preaching your holier than thou attitude all you want, it's just going to piss everyone else off.

Look at yourself. How "cool" would you consider yourself to be? How many girls have you gotten?

Possible correlation between that and not drinking?

Perhaps.

I can see not smoking or some crap but not drinking cuz you want to stay healthy?? Sure that can be true but you can be healthy and still drink

I can say with 100% confidence I wouldn't have as many friends as I do if I never drank in college...most of my friends I met at parties or the bar, but hell I was in a fraternity in college and drank a lot ;) Hell I still party like a rock start ;)

Bad news for Foafy. Most kids who do not drink or do drugs in Highschool end up going crazy and spending all their money on drugs or liquor and ruin their life.

Many of my friends who laughed at me for smoking pot, are now addicting to cocaine, and are kicked out of college.

I'd argue that "most" kids do that (that would be over 50%), but I would agree that someone would be more likely to, to some degree.

It's all about moderation. Smoking or drinking once every week or two is not going to have BARELY ANY effect on you health wise. Obesity and not exercising pose a much higher health risk then the moderate use of alcohol, cigarettes/cigars, weed, etc. These things just have a bad image on society from the people who ABUSE them by doing them everyday and letting them interfere with your responsibilities of every-day life. Alcohol, tobacco, they are apart of our culture and aren't going to go away. So, is it so wrong to smoke or drink in moderation to perhaps improve other aspects of your life?

I prefer drinking over smoking weed or smoking cigs.

I'm the minority though, if I ever were to try like.. i'm sure you guys are thinking of like heroin or methamphetmine as drugs you should NEVER take. Well, lets face it, doing it once is not going to kill you. If I were to ever take meth then it wouldn't be in some drug riddened house or any place I am unfamiliar with. I would take it in a safe environment, and I would try to learn from it. I would try to learn first-hand how people would get addicted to this drug and the effects it has. I'm sure I would reflect on like how meth was used throughout WWII by hitler and his army to stay awake longer and be stronger soldiers. Furthermore, I would do [u97280202d3]A LOT[/u97280202d3] of research on it before I did it.

And I probably would only take it once, and I'm confident enough with my mind that this would be the case.

If you say so....

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Why do you guys insist I'm going to be some drugged up college dropout? I care about my life, and doing all of the things I listed are stupid as hell, and as I've said in the past, you can have more fun other ways than wasting it away with shit like that.

Maybe you havent hit that stage yet then. I think that we can all agreee that one time when we were in elementary school and we were being educated about cigarettes and alcohol we told ourselves "Man Im never going to do those things when I get older!"

Once you hit that stage (for some its high school...me, and for other its the beginning of college or halfway through...about 70% of the kids from my college that I hang out with)

So you can say whatever you want right now foafy...but I would say that the stage hasnt hit you yet. I didnt smoke my first black n mild till my senoir year in high school. My first drink was my sophmore year in high school. My first cigarette and first dip...freshman yr in college.

Most likely your going tom come to some crossroad where you say "what the hell, im in college" and youre going to try it. Honestly, its fun and I do enjoy a beer and a cig (amen to you Glenn). Just because you do that doesnt mean that you are going to ruin your life. I have a lot going for me right now, a beautiful girlfriend, great life, great friends and im going to be applying to grad school within the next year...and guess what...i drink and smoke. Is my life ruined?

At my high school, a lot of the kids who drink on the weekends were the same ones receiving academic honors diplomas, including me.

I look at it as a way to unwind on the weekends, though there are some kids that can't clock back in to work on Monday morning so to speak, and those are the people you see ruining their lives.

I know that Sunday-Thursday are work days (with some exceptions), and Friday and Saturday are my days.

I don't care what other people do/did. I don't care what the statistics are of children and teenagers abusing alcohol or other substances. I'm not going to do that stuff whether you like it or not. I could care less about it. It's retarded, and I'd rather be healthy and sit outside on my laptop breathing nice fresh air chatting with my friends, than getting high and getting drunk. You have to take life seriously, not as a joke. Smoking, drinking, and doing drugs isn't fun. You can have a just as good if not better time with your friends and family without that crap that messes you up.

TylerC is the man.

I work Monday - Fridays, sometimes Mondays - Sundays....but when I get a day off, I lay on the couch, drink some beers, play some 360 and unwind.

How would you know it's not fun if you've never done it?

Peter Jennings died of lung cancer 20 years after he quit smoking so if i were you id take that chart with a grain of salt.

You do know smoking marijuana causes colors to appear brighter and sitting outside while high in nature is probably the coolest things to do. You will look at flowers like never before, you will look at whats happening below the grass.

You don't automatically disregard anything just because you smoke/ drink. You are still an individual who can appreciate nature if so inclined.
So not staying straight is a joke? As far as being fun, maybe not for you but many would disagree.

you guys leave foafy alone. If he doesn't want to smoke and drink why the fuck do you care. Let him be, because he isn't snuffing out your joints, or pouring your alcohol down the drain.

I do agree with some of the points that most people in the end wind up experimenting with alcohol. Shit changes when you go to college, doesn't make you a bad person for changing your beliefs. I used to spout that same bullshit about never going to drink, or smoke weed when I was 17.

I think what you are talking about TTGP is a pretty rash comparison. Also FOAFY isn't from the streets like you. I don't see why he would wind up like some of your thug4lyfe friends.

oh and FOAFY you'd do yourself a favor by getting everyone off your back if you stopped quoting your mom and those goddammed after school specials.

I wonder where TFOAF's dating profile is...

- Likes to sit outside with his laptop enjoying the fresh air
- Enjoys rapping with the numa numa guy
- Likes to make questionably homosexual remarks to other men without leaving hints that he's joking
- Likes to believe his opinion of fun is the only fun there is
- Goes for girls with man names
- Is a very very unique guy

AND HE'S SINGLE!

Anyway, the bottom line is - different people think different things are fun. I myself don't smoke or drink but I don't condemn others for doing it. There are trade-offs for both choices.

I used to smoke a carton a week for a looooong time, and I'm glad I kicked it. It's a nasty fucking habit.

Agreed.

FOAF, you're going to get a lot of peer pressure when you hit college, especially in regards to drinking or doing drugs, you just have to stand your ground and do what you believe in.

I've never taken drugs, never smoked and really have no intention of doing so, but I used to drink like a fish between 17 and 22. Then I just stopped. I realised how I was becoming and not remembering the nights before and I didn't like it. I'll drink if I'm offered it, but in the last three years I've drank twice and been drunk once.

If you want to try something then try it, but don't let people make you feel like you're a freak or uncool because you don't want to. Chances are you'll be better off staying away from drink and drugs, but you've got a better head on your shoulders than most of the people making fun of you for not being like them.

I know you didnt really direct that at me frank but I think that most ppl are not really making fun of foafy for not doing these things but are more saying that he doesnt need to judge people that do have the occasional beer or cigarette or drug..


Youre no higher than us just because you dont drink or smoke. A lot of ppl that posted here are pissed beause you sound like youre trying to say that youre better than them because you dont smoke and what not.

Well you kow what else is bad for you? PLaying video games for hours at a time isnt the best for your eyes. Eating at mcdonalds a few times a week isnt great for your arteries. Ill agree with you that you can have fun without alcohol or drugs, ive had fun myself minus them. But do not for once think that you are better than us becasue you are not "fucking up your body"

It wasn't directed at anyone, but was more of an observation of how over the last year people have responded to the FOAF and his stance on drinking, doing drugs, smoking etc.

Of course he can't say that you can't have fun when intoxicated because he's never experienced it, but it's fairly obvious that they can cause a lot of damage to not only your own body, but others, so that's what I presume he's basing his decisions on.

I'm with ya Frank, and FOAFY to, to some extent.

I never did drugs, of any kind (aside from alcohol). Never even tried. Now I've inhaled enough second hand pot smoke to probably get buzzed, but have never put a joint to my lips. Like Frank, I drank quite a bit in my college days, and liespeciallyli my Army days, but still not enough for it to be a problem. After I got married, my wife didn't drink and I just lost interest. I trickled off to maybe a couple six-packs a year, mostly while cooking because I like to cook with beer, but in the last couple years even that has fizzled out. Don't really remember when I last had a beer (I think it was the one I had a few months back at a restaurant during dinner).

So I admire your resolve FOAFY and encourage you keep it up, however as others have mentioned you need to not come down as so judgmental towards others just because they don't share your convictions.
