girlygirl Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Ok so we all know how bad smoking is for us right? Well why is it that the media plays it up to almost cool still? i donno i am unfortuntaly the "social smoker" but i also grew up around smokers so i became use to all the smoke. any opinions??

*Justine* Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Umm, because the tabacco industry is very profitable and would like to stay that way. Our health doesn't come into that equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putainfromage Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 to me, the tabacco industry is the same as the entertainment industry and the mainstream media. none of them care about anything except money. disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Justine* Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I was thinking of starting smoking when my bf first broke up with me. But everyone (smokers and non) were telling me that it would be the worst decision of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlygirl Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Justine ya its not a good thing to start. i really wish i wouldn't have. berrywomen don't you hate that. when you see someone smoking and your like dang. it only makes you want a cigarette more. i must say every time i watch the live 2003 dvd i find my self either wanting a cigarette or saying its ok see they do it. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlygirl Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 ya espically in your hair. its not very attractive. whats worse is the fact is i am 18 and hiding the fact that i smoke from my mom. i know the one thing is i never ever smoke around kids. i don't want them to turn into me.
