Cigarettes - How damaging?

in what way does it make you feel great? the nasty taste, the yellow sticky fingers? the yellow staining on your teeth, the possibility of stinky breath? the sudden difficulty to breathe comfatably? the coughing and spluttering?

You don't get it do you? It's a drug, it has an active ingredient that makes you feel great. Believe me, I've felt it plenty of times. There's nothing quite like it.
 
Just my Mrs smoking really upsets me. But she already knows that if we ever consider buying a house together in the next few years then I won't seriously get involved unless she quits. Just things like the 'It's my house aswell I will smoke where I want' would be horrible to face.

Yeah absolutely. Sounds like she really needs to get sorted in her head that she needs to quit. I hope things work out for you mate. :)

I'm not defending cigarettes, but I am defending my reasons for smoking them I suppose.
 
Basically it was a study on varying consumption and the effects of smoking and the earliest point in which someone developed problems due to smoking was somethign stupis liek 60 Kilos of tobacco (60 -70K cigarettes) which works out at 11 a day for 15 years.

Fair enough, that's actually pretty reassuring for someone who's smoked in his college days :)

Don't defend what you want to do if you want to do it, if your looking for sympathy your in the wrong place.

yeah i understand that its a drug but if it makes him feel great he wouldnt only do it socially. ive had it plenty of times as well, i dont remember feeling great. canny naff excuse that.

Explain what I did for 3 years then? It made me feel great, being under the influence of alcohol lowered my inhibitions that little bit to make me not care about the health crap.

Well that's you, just because you didn't feel it doesn't mean he doesn't.

Inhaling works better, if you smoke like a fish no wonder.

I had a mate that did that, god it annoyed me.
 
you like the taste of cigs and the nicotine?? thats blatantly bull imo
Why would I lie about it. Sometimes I hate the smell for example can't stand the smell of cigars, as I said depends on my mood.

The combination of beer + cigs is quite potent to me and it does make me feel good (I'm pretty certain as last night when out in a club was the last time I had a cig). As I smoke very infrequently I often will go half a year without a smoke I don't really get the coughing and spluttering, my teeth are already fooked anyway (I have genetically crap teeth :().

second hand smoke is bad for you so what do you think 1st hand is like?
I didn't say smoking was good for me did I.

why by a river? it sounds like a bad scene from dawsons creek.
ROFL :D. Well because my parents live in a small village and it was a convinient place where I wouldn't get caught smoking that was 3mins walk from my house.
 
have you witnessed me smoking like? its hardly rocket science is it?

this is why i hate these threads. you get all the people who smoke starting with the insults, its boring and predictable.

I am only messing with you.

In all seriousness though if you inhale you will feel the effects, although the first time is did it the buzz was accompanied by a feeling of sickness.

I didn't say I was looking for sympathy. People have asked me why I want to smoke, so I have to explain. That's part of the thread, and isn't linked to sympathy. Not sure where you got that from!

Reasons for only doing it socially:
1. If you're a 'proper' smoker you need to smoke more to feel good I like being able to have one cigarette to get a nice headrush.
2. Self control - once in a while I do feel like getting some cigs but I won't because I don't want to become a smoker and die young like my Grandad.
