I don't care if people smoke on their own time, but if I am behind them and breathing in their toxic fumes, or if I'm IceBaby and getting burned by cigarettes, then it matters. If that isn't happening, then it doesn't.


You're right. You DO only live once. So why waste it by drinking or smoking? I'm not condemning people who smoke or drink, but I do find it kind of sad.

How is it a waste if you are living your life doing what you want to do.

You only live once, why waste it on an internet forum talking to me?

Who said anything about cigarettes?

Zmoke, you'd be surprised how many people you probably look up to smoke pot.

As for drinking, it seems to usually cause trouble so I try not to indulge in it too much.

I wouldn't really say this conversation is a waste. It's also not affecting me in a negative way. But when people use "You only live once" as their reasoning for drinking it just doesn't make sense. Why would you want to do something knowing full well it could shorten your lifespan? Since after all, you only live once.

Get away from your computer right now. You being inactive and not getting exercise today can shorten your lifespan. And even if you are exercising, the radiation emitting from your laptop can shorten your life span and cause problems for you in the future like cancer. So. Get offline right now. You only live once, and it doesn't make sense to stay online when you know it can shorten your lifespan.

I don't smoke at all. However I don't really care if people do or not. I don't let things like that define people. Who am I to pass judgement on people. If you you wanna smoke, go ahead bro. Just don't judge me cause I don't or try getting me to. And don't smoke in my car. Other than that, I'm cool with it. It's your life, live it how you like. Otherwise, what the fuck is the point. If its not hurting other people, you still take responsibility for yourself and your actions, than go ahead. Doesn't change my view of you as a person.

I don't mind people smoking. It's their choice. I believe I stated this before. If it's by me, I mind it. It's not just because I've encountered a lot of rude people who have no respect for those who doesn't want to inhale secondary smoke. It's just I'm highly allergic to some of the stuff in there, and my throat gets easily swollen whenever I'm near it.

I'm pretty sure those who smoke understands the consequences. It's their choice. Same way with drinking. I know two people who managed to drink themselves near death and still continues to do so even AFTER what they've been through. One of the guys was told that he had like a 2% chance of living... Luckily, he was that 2% because he had some sort of hemorrhage and the over-drinking did not help that whatsoever. The other guy managed to get alcohol poisoning and still decides it's a good thing to just get wasted on a regular basis.

People can sit here, try to negotiate about what it does with your body and how harmful it is. But it's the person's choice. If they want to smoke, they can smoke. If they want to drink, they can drink.

I though, just think smokers are jokers. It's just how many encounters I've had. And when you're at a school where there's literally smokers everywhere and does not care where they blow their smoke, what are you supposed to do? I'm not really judging every single person here who claims they smoke, it's really your choice, your life, you do what you want and I have nothing to say to get you to end it. It's not my responsibility. Just in general, I just think smokers are jokers.

Smoking will kill you, costs a lot, makes you smell bad and has such a negative stigma. Why smoke?

Its funny because you can replace smoking with fast food and the sentence still rings true. If you eat a lot of fast food or hell if you have any addiction that hurts you, you can't really say anything about smoking or drinking without coming off as a hypocrite.

Nah, she's here, I totally understand, besides the "smokers are jokers" part.

I think that's a little too grand of a phrase.

While I too feel it is the person's choice, it is also my personal opinion that smoking is among the most pointless things to do of all of history. The cigarette itself is pointless. It is a product without a purpose.

I honestly cannot fathom the reason someone would even want to start smoking, let alone continue to. The cigarette holds no benefit, and therefore does 100% more harm than good. Seriously, it just doesn't make any sense to me.

As for drinking, if it is done in moderation, it's cool by me. I myself rarely drink, and when I do, it is solely for the purpose of having something sweet and bubbly to drink. I never drink to get drunk, and if I sense any difference in myself, I stop immdeiately.

Now I'm not saying people should do what I do; if you want to get drunk that's totally fine, just have and know your limit.

Well if you go to the main page and look at the roster, it might give you a clue considering how the first four were lined up...

I get what your saying Icebaby. You have a really good legitimate reason to be against smoking. But still you don't mind if people smoke, as long as it's not hurting you. That's pretty much what I was saying.

@FlamingTP, I love that avengers post. Haha

In other news, I graduate next month from high school. Then graduate from college a month or so after that. And in four years I will graduate from a different college. I fucking hate school.

When I smoke, it seems like I just don't care anymore. I never feel worried about anything, I can talk to people, I feel like they can understand me better. I don't have this constant worry about everything. I just overall have a great time.


Where in my post did I say "I hate pot"? I dare ya go find it.
Can't find it? lulz
I was mostly directing it to cigar/ette smoke and that smell gets me wheezy(I have asthma) and it's just unpleasant. Sorry if this sounds rude but it is so damn hot >.< I don't give 2 shits about Weed cuz everyone at school does it and it's better than actual cigarettes and drinking

See. The confusion comes from the fact that I spoke of smoking and I many pot. Someone must have thought I meant cigarettes because it got negative quickly.

To clarify, I meant pot and I love pot! I also agree that cigarettes are the most pointless product in existence.

The major reason people smoke cigarettes is to relieve stress, but the chemicals in cigarettes are actually stress builders. They make you MORE stressed, thus killing their cause.

Anyone smoking cigarettes as a stress relief, I recommend weed. It relieves stress AND it makes you feel awesome.

If you smoke cigarettes for no discernible reason, I implore you to quit. I won't bug you about it though.

I wasn't even referring just to you, lol. I didn't even say anyone hates it. Just kind of "Anti".

Not a problem either, I can see why.
