I don’t understand why people smoke in this day and age when they know its so bad for themselves and those around them, I understand addiction though, but why do people take up the habit these days. Even if it was dirt cheap and didn’t smell or have side effects its still an annoying habit that takes up time.

i couldn’t tell you…
because smokers enjoy smoking. matter of fact im craving a cigarette now after reading this.
really? why do people do anything?
because they can and it’s legal – like drinking or joining the ku klux klan or burning the flag
gotta love this Country.
patriot dawg
I know the numbers are down in the US for new smokers. Why did I start, hum cuz all thhe kids I hung with were doing it. Peer pressure.
I knew I was hooked at 11 years old, now 51.
Irony is I know people which smoked all they way into theeir ninties and died of natural cause’s.
I have prayed that I would get cancer for years, that way Its not apparent suicide.
Smoking suicide on the Installment Plan.
I smoke. For me, it’s suicide by smoking, it’s the scenic route. 😉
good morning all and caucajun32……wanted to share a quote i’ve used myself….the last time to my grandmother(nana)
Kurt Vonnegut…..during an interview
The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide.
and another of my favourite Kurt quotes….lol….reminds me of this site
I love you sons of bitches. You’re all I read any more. You’re the only ones who’ll talk all about the really terrific changes going on, the only ones crazy enough to know that life is a space voyage, and not a short one, either, but one that’ll last for billions of years. You’re the only ones with guts enough to really care about the future, who really notice what machines do to us, what wars do to us, what cities do to us, what big, simple ideas do to us, what tremendous misunderstanding, mistakes, accidents, catastrophes do to us. You’re the only ones zany enough to agonize over time and distance without limit, over mysteries that will never die, over the fact that we are right now determining whether the space voyage for the next billion years or so is going to be Heaven or Hell.
Myself i have been smoking cigarettes for 44 years….weed on and off for 35 years…..last lung capacity test….was told smoker of half a pack for 10 to 15 years…..truth….up to 2 packs a day in bad times…..for 44 years….so what gives???
it’s not like i haven’t been trying….lol….the tech said…..welll you must be a tea drinker….not sure but he says there is something in the tea that protects the lungs…..what do i know…..suddenly tea didn’t hold the same comfort for me it always has….
in the end….even i know….no such thing as suicide…..when it’s my time it’s my time….my friends don’t like me for this…..they say i am fatalistic….truth….but since i have gone out of my way over and over and over again to get the hell out of this body….this pain….and after 46 years of trying….have decided to give up and let God or Source or All That Is or whatever……to run my life…..i sucked at it…..now as long as i am in this dense, painful body i will work for my Creator and stop working against my Creator….but the smoking won’t kill me…..it’s hate and anger and fear and self-loathing that will ultimately kill me if i don’t learn to stop……
btw Kurt Vonnegut smoked up to 3 packs a day and lived into his late 80’s i believe….i think he died of a brain injury from a fall……lol……so the smoking is an illusion as well….lol
a steezing i will go,
Namaste
LOL…this is just too funny. Two-packs a day since I was like twelve here. 😀 I tell others that it is the “poor man’s retirement plan” as it is supposed to kill me before I am too old to work. 😀
Anyone for a class-action lawsuit for false advertisement? When does death kick in? They promised 😀 I already have given the bastards probably 100 grand. I could have put a contract out on myself a long time ago for less than that!
good morning irspow….nice to see you again….will play nicer today….i promise….well i promis to try anyway….lol
did you read my comment on this post….dareyou…lol
Namaste
I had to pass a yearly physical at a job because we wore full face resparators, so the lungs ahd to have a certain amount of capacity.
I couldn’t pass that test today.
Just walking leaves me breathless. Smokers many times die not from cancer but from emphasema.
there’s always black tea caucajun32…..just saying….lol
Peace
