fair point there Ad, cant think of anyone i know right now that started after they were 18.

@lynx and JPaul, did your hangovers get any easier when you gave up ?, im sure it must have summit to do with it

Oh God yes - it makes a tremendous difference.

@ Jonno - I agree if you are in your own home or a public place where smoking is allowed then why not. But as you say you are willing to compromise if someone has breathing problems or whatever. It's about mutual respect and understanding the other persons point of view.

Smoking gives a kind of satisfaction to your mind. You won't understand coz u don't have this habit. Even u you try once u won't get any satisfaction. Instad u will feel worse. Coz u don't this habit. I don't know why u ppl think its not good. May be because u just heard that smoking is bad for heath...lol

You'll be telling us next that it hasn't affected YOUR brain.

I don't believe in all this crap about smoking being enjoyable, it isn't, you are only pandering to an addiction that is hurting you.

To make an analogy; if you put a hand in a bucket of really hot water, and keep it in there until you can stand it no more, then put it into a bucket of cold water, the feeling of relief is enjoyable.

Putting your hand in hot water in not a good thing to do.

People who smoke, knowing it is harmful to their health, are stupid for doing it.

[Adster]

thats true but putting your hand in hot water isn't addictive

Thats very good Rikk and I fully respect your opinion

But............we smoke cos we want to, cos it helps to calm us when we stressed and cos we like it.
Many things harm us, we eat curry and it burns our mouth but we enjoy it

I will say tho that all these years of smoking has affected my health and totally shot my sense of smeel to shit, but it's my choice and I don't force it on others.

There is the horrible, prolonged and painful death thing.



Quite a lot of anti-smoking campaigners are doing what they do because they don&#39;t want to see people that they like (or even love) dying in one of the most excruciating, horrific ways there is.

One of the lines I often get is "it&#39;s not all about you, I can smoke if I want to".
My response is "DAMN straight, it&#39;s not all about me. It&#39;s all about you not dying horrifically if you quit&#33;".



It&#39;s usually at this point that someone usually says "What would you know about it Lamsey, you&#39;re not a smoker and can&#39;t understand."

Well, I watched my grandfather die of lung cancer. I understand only too well what he went through. And I don&#39;t want that to happen to anyone else.
