ATTN: Smokers, I Have A Question.

Why do you smoke? What is the reason for you smoking and what is the motivation of you continuing to smoke?

(Pot doesn't count. >.>;)

I give this thread two hours before it's in Flame Core.

Hey, good job at contributing.

Well I don't smoke but I've definitely seen the whole you can't take a smoke or other break if you aint smoking. And I've known people who started cause of that

Please flame core this thread. j/p

they smoke because they are dumb and want to get pancreatic cancer like Patric Swayze. Then QQ about it creating a audio tape and book.

I don't smoke, so I can't contribute.

No worries , I support this thread. Pot does not count.. anyway who smokes that ***is a n00b.

Smart guy.

I think so too.

Me too no smoking for me.

Lol now you've done now I have a MJ add on here

I'm curious, too.
I can't think of an amount of stress that would even make me consider it knowing how it could easily shorten my life.

I'm going to attempt not to get flamed by you in this thread. You seem to hate my guts since I told you that an archer and a ranger are not similar.

Well really though I mean drinking is bad for you people do that. Caffiene is all kinds of bad to yet most this country is friggin hard core addicts. People want there fix

It's your avatar. =\

I don't hate you, sorry if you got that impression. I think we just disagree a lot. :P

Let's flame the smokers instead!

Actually, it's been scientifically proven that caffiene on its own will have no negative effects on your body asides from causing over alertness and possibly hyperactivity. Healthwise it does nothing long term.

[Thing with smoking is that some people go out their way of getting a freaking cig. So desperate that it's pathetic.

Drinking and smoking are different things. Smoking doesn't affect someone like drinking can.

And it's a nr.1 turnoff on chicks for me. Completely grosses me out when I get a smoke smelling breath in my face.

Because it sobers you up while taking xtc. Also sniffing Vicks Vapor Rub, massaging hands, drinking water or orange juice helps the high.

I don't do drugs anymore so I just got the legal smoking habit w.

Nothing nicer than kissing an ashtray!

Although the part about smokers (not smoking) I dislike is they share it with people who have chosen not to smoke. That's when it pisses me off. They're welcome to kill themselves, but I'd sooner they didn't kill me just for their next fix. Drinking on the other hand... Well, it might make me comatose, but it won't affect Frank or Bob sat next to me in the bar.

You should ask the girls that smoke during their pregnancy. They just give the reason of "Well my doctor said it's ok, as long as its not too much." Most ppl I knew that smoke/d say it is from when they were in school just to be part of the cool kids, some for stress, and some just don't even know why.

I dont smoke either, but i dont think theres any motivation to smoke after you have doing it for a while (other than the addiction), i think most people would quit if it was easy unless they are dumb enough to say "its worth it".

As for starting on a regular basis, i have no idea, but in most cases it probably starts with social smoking at parties or whatnot with peer pressure.

Look again. There are plenty of long term negative affects.

Scientifically, there's not. Caffiene can act as a catalyst towards other conditions or illnesses, but the average healthy adult will not get any long term effects from drinking loads of coffee.

If that's the reason it's an easy way to judge a character. I have no respect whatsoever for people that fall for peer pressure.

I work in a paint shop, so its kind of a soother.
Try working with older woman that are ***.
"omg my car is like so scatched,"
I tell them the price, I never hear the end of it.
Now you see my exscuse.

Peer pressure.
To relax.
I need a donut or a cig with my cup of coffee.
/end thread.

Idk where u ger ur facts but drinking and smoking can kill u. Addiction plays a big factor im smoking, i did it for 8yrs and quit in 2 days. So dont go blaming ppl becasue these companies lie to u and sell u dangerous and addictive substance. I sure in the hell didnt know the serious danger when i started, didnt even have any of the warnings they have now.

Well, I started smoking shortly after my friend Steve died three days after Christmas a few years back. Since then, it's been a way for me to relax during/after a long day, or just when I need a break.

Smoking is mostly an oral fixation, or something people do when they don't know what to do with their hands during downtime. Smoking is also a very social activity. I myself can't finish a cigarette when I'm by myself, and I smoke maybe 1-2 cigarettes a day if I'm home by myself...all day. However, when I'm with friends, I might smoke half of that pack in a night.

Smoking does different things for different people. Yes, we know it's bad for us. No, you don't need to tell us that every time we light up a cigarette. You also don't need to complain when we're smoking and you sit down somewhere near us.

There are many other harmful things people can do to their bodies to get the same effect that cigarettes have, so don't just harp on people who smoke.

See, people like you are what's wrong in this discussion.

You THINK it wouldn't effect you physically when you light tobacco on fire and INHALE a fume throughout your body? GET REAL MAN.

"In large amounts, and especially over extended periods of time, caffeine can lead to a condition known as caffeinism. Caffeinism usually combines caffeine dependency with a wide range of unpleasant physical and mental conditions including nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia, headaches, respiratory alkalosis, and heart palpitations.Furthermore, because caffeine increases the production of stomach acid, high usage over time can lead to peptic ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

There are four caffeine-induced psychiatric disorders recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition: caffeine intoxication, caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, caffeine-induced sleep disorder, and caffeine-related disorder not otherwise specified (NOS)."

That is just the long term. It does all kinds of negative stuff and withdrawal can do all kinds of ***such as impairing short term memory and large amounts can lead to some rather interesting OD symptoms.
"It may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation. In cases of much larger overdoses, mania, depression, lapses in judgment, disorientation, disinhibition, delusions, hallucinations, and psychosis may occur, and rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue) can be provoked"

Also death but really that's pretty hard to do from just drinking coffee/tea etc.
