Quit smoking

[Moose or Chuck]

He tells us he's 17 years old...

[Moose or Chuck]

there is nothing wrong with smoking. Sure i'll die, but we all do.

[Paul]

hahah smokers ALWAYS say that. thats there only argument. yeah okay, we all die, that doesnt mean you have to live that life stinkin of smoke and damaging your lungs now does it? <br><br>the fact that 'we all die' or 'life is short' is the reason to live a little better so we can make the most of it (now i'm starting to sound wet) ah forget it... the sooner you're dead the better

[Moose or Chuck]

having a cig makes me happy. i dunno what i'd do i'll day, if i didn't have to smoke. Probably be more bored than i already am

[RavenRay]

Well, I just don't like it when people that don't smoke, tell smokers to quit.  It's not that easy in the first place.

[Paul]

we're only trying to help you. you're addicted to a drug after all

[RavenRay]

Yes, but you don't understand that it's hard to stop.  What if I told you, Not to use you any electronical equipment for a year.  You'll probably go out of your mind.  No, pocketpc, no computer, not even a telephone.  Nothing.  Kind of hard isn't it.  Oh yeah, don't forget about a car.

[Moose or Chuck]

ya, quitting is like impossible

[Moose or Chuck]

Chuck, tell me one thing then. Why did you ever smoke the second cigarette?

[randall]

Quitting is pretty easy if you never start.<br><br>Bleh, those anti-smoking commercials on TV gross me out, especially the one with the doctor squeezing all that crap out of an aorta. Makes me glad I never started.<br>

[jongjungbu]

Yeah. The majority of cigarette-related deaths are due to cardiovascular disease rather than lung cancer. Though lung cancer in itself is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women.<br><br>

[Paul]

we dont get those ads in the uk, but we've got the highest number of deaths from heart disease apparently

[Moose or Chuck]

Chuck, tell me one thing then. Why did you ever smoke the second cigarette?

[Moose or Chuck]

because the first one was cool.

[Jaybot]

lol!  the thing that upsets me about those retarded ads, and new 'special updates', is that they treat the subject as if it's new and people/kids anyone doesn't already know that smoking is bad for you. shit, if it was good for you most people wouldnt have started it, i hate vegetables.  most people start smoking knowlingly that its horrible for them and it will ruin their health, but they dont care because they are trying to be self destructive because they dont give a fuuck about life.  as to the quitting thing, it really isnt that hard of a drug to quit if you want to.. i was able to quit cold turkey for 6 months once and had absolutely no problems, except one.  i missed it. i love smoking, it's just too damn enjoyable to smoke when you are a smoker (people who were never smokers will never understand this), after a large meal, while driving a car, on the phone, with alcohol, after sex, etc.  and for many (especially people who are ADD), it surprisingly actually adds stucture to their lives.  the hardest part of quitting smoking is to convince yourself that you don't like smoking, and you'll never miss it.
