I don't care what anyone says, smoking is cool

True fact: smoking cigarettes actually nueroprotective against developing Alzeihmers, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.

Smoking - whilst we do not endorse or advocate the smoking of cigarettes because of the many health risks associated with it, studies have consistently suggested a link between cigarette smoking and Parkinson’s, leading to theories that smoking - in particular nicotine - may be neuroprotective. In animal studies nicotine has been found to stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain and to preserve neurons and dopamine levels.

One study3 found that former smokers had a 22% lower risk of developing Parkinson's and current smokers had a 73% lower risk compared to those who had never smoked and were thought to have a ‘normal’ risk for developing the condition. In fact, there was found to be a correlation between the risk of developing Parkinson’s and the number of years of smoking, the number of years since stopping smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Whilst smoking does of course have other risks, it does appear to offer neuroprotective properties.

I think that may be party due to the lower life expectancy of smokers. Parkinsons is normally an old age disease, you can't get that if you die before you would have developed it.

Why are so many idiots taking the phrase "racist against smokers" literally?

It's a figure of speech. Now go and resit your English GCSE.

True dat.

Just like saying I'm tarantula against fetishists.

I mean, it makes absolutely no ****ing sense at all, but you are all supposed to know what I mean. Retake your English GCSE that taught you how to speak properly so you can get it all wrong again.

English, do you speak it?

Define "cool"? More like peer pressure and wanting to fit in with a crowd. There is nothing "cool" about shortening your life, risking cancer and impotency, having stained yellow teeth and reeking. But it's a free World, do what you want.

If the OP is crying out for help, we can help as it is damn difficult to give up a drug addiction. :)
 
I gave up smoking over 2 years ago. My sense of taste and smell are magnificent now and I wouldn't want to lose them again. I save tons of money and I'll live longer. I can do more athletically and it showed me that I can change things.

I'll never go back.

But that doesn't stop it looking cool. Especially in films. Why? I'm not quite sure, but I think it's something along the same lines of people being able to express themselves better as they take off their glasses and use them as a prop when speaking, or even with a pipe.

I don't think smoking actually is cool, but I certainly understand why we can think it is.

You don't need all that paraphernalia to do that. Just do it with a normal cigarette and don't inhale any of it.

I smoked for nine years before I quit, from 16 to 25. I gave up because I just thought, "where is this going?". You could smoke in pubs back then so it was more fun. Couldn't keep doing it though.
 
Yes it'a absolutely cool to smell vile, literally set fire to loads of money, get so addicted that you have to go outside your work building every hour or so in the freezing winter to get a fix, and increase your probability of dying early in a very, very horrible death.

What's not to like? Where do I sign up? :)
