Don't you people watch the videos we do at school?

 

If you watched the ones we did, you wouldn't take up smoking, I swear to you.

 

Some friggin lady that speaks in wheezes and has a frigging hole in her neck to breathe. (It is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.) There were girls yelling "Turn it off! Oh God, turn it off!" for fuck's sake. People cutting up people's asophagouses' (I've got no clue on the spelling of that) with a heap of fat squeezing out, and heart's with tar in 'em. Some ad with "Cat's in the Cradle" playing and some kid crying at the TV watching a tape of his father in hospital saying his last wishes. Not good.

i don't think the price of it, makes any difference in making ppl, stop buying them, it will only make them do desprate stuff so they could get the money to buy it.

^Wow....damn that sounds bad Sam.....

 

Well.....when i wrote my first reply I thought I was in a hurry...so I will continue it here...

 

I don't smoke and I never have smoked....

 

I never saw a need in that...all my friends in my closest friend circle smoke...hehe and sometimes it's strange to be the only non-smoker....

 

and I think I don't do it because of the health problem,.....I mean I need my money for other things than cigarettes...

 

but actually I must admit that I'm curious and want to try a cigarette......but then I know that I better shouldn't do this and this feeling is stronger then....

 

 

 

well...to be honest I'm not somebody who comes with this moral and says:

"Boo...smoking is bad...smoking will kill you......don't smoke...I hate smokers....booo.boooo..."

No........I accept smokers as they should accept me....and I think real smokers have enough brain to know what they do with their health and stuff....it's everybody's own decision.....(Ok.....except the 13 year olds....:nice:)

I dont smoke, but in the past I used to have a few cigarettes on a saturday night while I was drinking as well, but after a while I thought it wasnt worth it, coz its starts off being a social thing, then u become addicted to them. And now my friends who just used to smoke on weekends now find themselves smoking during the week, so I'm glad I stopped when I did.

Here're normal lungs...

 

 

And here're Reilly's lungs :dance:

 

 

:crown:

 

Stop it, Miceal, we know you've got da power, da will power.

Booo, smoking is baaad :sick:

i don't smoke. i hate it :P

and agree with nic.. ;)

yök

i have nerver someked and never will smoke

i don't smoke and never will...and i hate when in restaurants you can only smell and see smoke! i can't even feel the taste of what i'm eating!!!

also, recently one of my teachers died of lung cancer :cry:...he was ALWAYS smoking!

oh and i hate people who start smoking just because it's cool!...they try it once and don't like it but keep trying so they get used to it and look cool, how stupid!:angry:

Hehe, I've seen the videos sam, and I've seen pictures like that Valerie.

 

Nothing like that ever sticks in my mind, so I'm smoking away for the time being.

I don't smoke, I have never tried and I will never. It's useless, and I'll waste money without getting anything in return. anything, beside a cancer...

Haha then stay a smoker, Reilly, it's actually wise to do what you really wanna do in your life.

 

Besides, we all will die anyway so no point.

Be good to smokers, they don't last long :nice:

 

 

 

Stupid slogan :sick: ... I don't smoke but I don't mind if anybody else does ... the smoke doesn't bother me and when there's a party I think there should be a whole 'cloud' hanging under the ceiling ... its part of the whole party-thing :P

God no! I hate smoking.. and I hate the fact that I have to breath that shit because other people don't mind killing themselves.

Most of my friends smoke and I make them put out their cigarrettes when I'm around, I try everday to make people quit smoking but it's impossible.

And I really hate it when you see those 13 year old kids smoking, I mean they don't even know what they're doing, they start coughing and they think they look so cool doing it when they really look like idiots.

 

I really feel sorry for people who smoke :\

I don't smoke- I'm allergic to tobacco. I can't even be around when someone's smoking- my head hurts, I get sick to my stomoch, and my throat closes up so I can't breathe. Until the local government imposed a smoking ban I couldn't even go in places like resturants or bowling alleys- anywhere where there was smoke lingering in the air.

 

My grandmother died of lung cancer a couple of years ago. She never smoked a day in her life, and didn't really know anyone who did. When she was in her teens and twenties she worked in the kitchen of a hospital and the doctors think the cancer was caused by secondhand smoke she was exposed to then.

 

Crazy to think that it could have stayed in her system to affect her so many years later.

 

It looked like a scary painful way to die.

I don't smoke and i don't even want to start. I hate the smell of cigarettes and i'd like to live well, without smokers' problems.

i hate smoking, & the whole idea of it. my frind in school said that she is going to smoke when she's becomes older, coz she says it makes u look cool, i do agree that sometimes, the way ppl hold the cigarette & blow smoke from there mouths makes them look cooler than others, but it's still to sick to me. & GOD i hate the smell of it. mom is a smoker, but i can't seem to make her stop. any suggestions?

 

^^I have some ideas. And this is from real experience. If there is one near you, go to a Body Worlds (or something called like that, I forget the name...). It's the exhibit where they preserve muscles (yes, real) and have the body doing living things, like riding a bike or running. But there's more to it. They also have the preserved organs and other body parts, including the lungs. They have the comparision between a normal, healthy lung to a smoker's black lung. I remember when I went to the exhibit on a field trip, my chaperone and I were looking through the glass cases with the lungs, and once she saw the black lung, she was so utterly disgusted that she vowed never to smoke again. Now sure, everyone always says to tell them about the black lungs, but it can make a greater impact if you show them the real lung right in the flesh (none intended...)

 

I, too, have an uncle who smokes. My dad has been trying to get him to quit for ages now, and he seems to be ignoring all of it. My dad even told him to visit the hospital wings of people suffering from lung disease, and see that one day, he was going to be suffering like that. I thought this idea was sad, and I never really wanted to touch that subject too much. But I do wish that my uncle does quit. :embarassed:

i've tried cigs twice, but i didn't really seem to get the appeal of them. so, no smoking for me. oh well.

I don't smoke :D

me neither :nice:

 

 

 

well... not anymore :rolleyes:

 

 

I started when I was 13... but had longer breaks in between. totally stopped 5 weeks ago :nice:

I wish I could stop smoking....... :(

Well hurry up and quit already!! :lol:

it's not that easy you know? :(

 

especially when you like the taste of those damn cigarettes...........:(

Oh bollocks!! I gave up 5 years ago and never looked back..you just gotta have will power!

Hey, well done!!!!

 

Maybe I'll also try to stop in the near future, but at the moment I cant do it.
