I heard on the news that christopher reeves wife when diagnosed with lung cancer that one of her oncologists said that the air now is so polluted that you can go your whole life without smoking and still get lung cancer.
I'm repeating myself here, but it's not as though smokers live consequence free right up until they die of whatever. My quality of life has improved SO MUCH since I quit four years ago.
^yeah.. but you do fuck your body up in the process. as balls said, lungcancer is not the only consequence of smoking, dumbass. it's not like you smoke for 40 years, all the time still feeling perfectly normal, until one day, the doctor diagnoses you with lungcancer.. it adds up over time.
My dad has been smoking for 78 years and has had a rather healthy life. On the other hand. My mother, who never smoked a d in her life died 4 years ago from congestive heart failure. And she used to eat chicken and fiss while she made me and my dad meat and potatoes every night. Second hand smoke may have been a part of it, but who do you think should have been dead first? He's 83 and the doctors can't believe how strong his lungs and heart are. Just goes to prove, eat right, exercise, and die anyway!
Hey, toolman. if your father is strong as a smoker, imagine how much HEALTHIER your father would be if he didn't smoke. that gets me, all these people who say bullshit like "my (father, mother, grandfather) does (insert bad habit here) and they're still living strong." closed minded garbage!!
oh yeah toolman, my dad has been smoking for 83 years and has had a healthy life. He's 78 and the doctors can't believe how strong his lungs and heart are.
Hey SpankQuest, what do I need to lie about that for? He actualy got suspended from Kindergarten and told me they would stand at the trolly stop and wait until it came and the old guys would throw thier smokes on the ground and they would pick them up and smoke them. Not much to do back in 1929. I'm sorry that doesn't impress you, but then I wasn't trying. And by the way, I don't smoke.
Yeah I think they stopped these because their impact wore off pretty quickly. Now by law cigarette packets are half covered by photos showing mouth cancer and gangrenous limbs. They should have done one on how it effects the sexual performance of males.
I smoke and I don't take these things seriously. We live in an age of paranoia and fear. There are thousands if not millions of things in the air that are cancer causing and damaging to your health yet we pride ourselves in stopping ONE thing that is minute compared to the overall rotting of our earth from the air we breathe to the food we eat and now the toys kids play with these days. It will never end and I won't stop smoking because I enjoy it and I will die anyways. Mind as well die knowing I am doing something I enjoyed.
It's pretty obvious if you look around that smokers ain't doing so great. Come up with all the justification you can to make yourself feel better about it, but the fact remains those cigarettes are visibly fucking the people over more than whatever is in the air or their sex toys or whatever.
come on kris, where the fuck do you live? on a fuckin coal-fired power station in China? your arguments for somking are more ridiculous than the idiot saying he looks cool with a cigarette. btw are you wearing a gask mask to prevent you from inhaling conspiracy shit?
right, i didn't mean it in you being an everyday asshole but i identify you as one of the hardcoremuchoers, and sometimes the usual because-of-the-appaling-stupidity rant follows ordinary comments. I expected suh a rant here, not a good explanation. I'm sorry if it came out wrong(the asshole and all), i have no brain. Wanna join team puke?
Great point there kris, I agree with you 100%, there is crap in the air anyway so why stop smoking? ....on that note; im off to go get pissed & play on the motorway, could get hit by a car anytime, why bother avoiding them huh?
In his defense, there's a lot of old research to show that smoking is healthy. Kinda like the research to show DDT was great, leaded gasoline had no downside, and fluoride in the water was good for us.
Now don't get me wrong. Smoking IS bad for you. Yes I know. BUT smoking in itself has been done for centuries from native indian tribes to European aristocracy. It's something that's been in existance and regarded as a past time and a relaxer. Granted the product back then was more natural and not nearly as chemically made as the ones we are familiar with today. But with that said, smoking is not new however bad.
I live in downtown Chicago and I am also serving in the military. I breathe in pollutants everyday at home and at work so if there isn't something that is going to get me cancer or sick in the air I'd like to know.
I also eat greasy fatty food because it's good and it also helps me not starve in the most simplest context. yet there are people in this world who pride themselves in pointing out all these bad things. I worked with a guy in Iraq who refused to eat partially hydrogenated oils because of something that affected the heart. He was SO uptight about it he tried to get me to do it and I wouldn't budge because I just thought it was just so ridiculous. But this is just one example of the society we live in.
We can do everything possible to shelter us from harm be it smoke inhalation, pollution, bad food, you name it. BUT the fact of the matter is is that no matter how much we try our modern industrialist world is going to suffer the effects of the very thing it's making itself be and we are going to suffer along with it no matter what we may do. It's a nilhist mentality yes, but it's a fact of life that we cannot avoid.
I applaud people who quit smoking. Congratulations and best of luck in staying way. But I won't because I like it and in all honesty I don't see myself living to an old ripe age. For all I know I probably have a brain tumor after all these headaches I've been getting since I was a kid and I probably have some other ailments that's been with me for just as long that I don't know about. I'm not going to fight it. The way I see it, if smoking doesn't kill me, then the world itself or my other health problems will. At this point I'm just doing what I feel is something that relaxes me and I enjoy and hope for the best.
In my case it was trying over and over for more than a year, and then just being very determined. There's nothing I've ever done in my life that was harder or that I'm more proud of. It just about broke me.
i'm still sort of smoking.
lets start off with the weed, can't really quit that yet. i smoke about.. let's see.. 5 joints a day. sometimes more, sometimes less. let's just say 5 on average. that is about 4 cigarettes just because of the joints.
i stopped smoking at home(don't smoke after dinner, coffee whatever anymore), i only smoke when i'm drinking alcohol..
i used to smoke too much weed vic, I'd go through an 8th every 2 days, but I never smoked cigarettes. they just never appealed to me. And i gave it up when my chest started playing up. it was easy because I had a genuine reason to want to stop, whereas if you try and quit just because you think you should then that's no real reason at all and you'll lapse
well, i've thought about only rolling pure joints, but i have to admit, i hate the way pure weed tastes in a hasjpipe, or bong. and i can't really smoke a pure joint without coughing half the time, so.. i'm going to have to think of something else..
the thing is; i not only like getting stoned, but also the smoking part is what i love about it..
Mmmm sticky buds. Wait ...no...I've stopped that shit! Strange that, I used to smoke joints quite a bit, even to the point of using a 16th in a single rizzla, then stopped. So why can't I just stop smoking cigs the same way?
Maybe I'm just weak and pathetic. : ((
i was a bit of a pot head in high school (everyone down here is), and i just decided one day i look pretty dumb whem i'm high, if only i can make the same connection with cigs.
yeh I do miss it, and it's pretty difficult cos i live in a house with 4 other stoners, but in the end I think about how much money I've saved and stuff. when someone's got some particularly strong stuff though the smell does make me salivate a bit. but then i just get drunk
This is one ad of about 5 along the same lines here in Australia , they work, my kids pestered me for 12 months to give up smoking after seeing these and i havnt had one in 3 months, although i still have a bong once a week.
1. Dont smoke
2. No really dont
3. Drink with responsibily
4. Eat vegetables and fruit to every meal.
5. Dont eat salt and butter
6. Execise 3-5 times a week.
7. Dont work shift
8. Get well payed job that you love and have lots of power.
9. have lots of friends that you like to hang out with (real friends)
10. Travel the world
11. Get a really nice girlfriend and marry her
12. Get kids
13. You are complete happy to the rest of your life
14. You have probebly lived an happy and good life.
i never put on extra salt....i never eat bread with butter....i try to avoid sugar....and try to avoid bad fat. Eat lots of fish and omega-3 pills , eat 25% vegetables.
have anyone more then me experience that while you typing sometime it bugs and u cant write anymore....really wierd but whatever , the food you eat should be atleast 25% vegetables and fruit. Try to avoid redmeat......try only to eat meat from reindeers, mooses , rabbits, birds etc.
Like I said, exercise, eat right and die anyway. Now I'm not saying, go out and kill yourself, but enjoy what you like, don't worry. My mom tried living healthy and she died first!
Gotta love the CSI style dramatizations.
Oh, and EVERY CIGARRETTE IS DOING YOU DAMAGE.
How does one quit? you just stop smoking. I did 6 months ago. No sweat.
If people really want to put you off smoking, then they shouldn't pour some Fowler's Treacle onto a slab of meat (get the irony in that bit? - this is a healthy (but dead nevertheless)lung), they should have shown the real lung of a serious smoker. We're not kids, we can handle real medical conditions, can't we?
I don't see the irony. The healthy lung could be from the decapitated russian guy from the recent vid.
On second thought maybe that guy ended breathing some blood? :-/
Comments to Still want to smoke?
Makes me want to go out & have a smoke.
And fap.
I got something for those chicks in the first videos to stick in their mouths.
I heard on the news that christopher reeves wife when diagnosed with lung cancer that one of her oncologists said that the air now is so polluted that you can go your whole life without smoking and still get lung cancer.
Since she got lung cancer and never smoked.
Well, you could also live your whole life breathing perfectly clean air, and you could still get cancer. So what?
I'm repeating myself here, but it's not as though smokers live consequence free right up until they die of whatever. My quality of life has improved SO MUCH since I quit four years ago.
You can also smoke your whole life and not get cancer. Oh yeah, fuck Christopher Reeves.
^yeah.. but you do fuck your body up in the process. as balls said, lungcancer is not the only consequence of smoking, dumbass. it's not like you smoke for 40 years, all the time still feeling perfectly normal, until one day, the doctor diagnoses you with lungcancer.. it adds up over time.
Yeah but think how cool you look when your smoking, totally worth it.
How's your quitting going, Vic?
Aha. Schrolling down first would have been a good idea.
My dad has been smoking for 78 years and has had a rather healthy life. On the other hand. My mother, who never smoked a d in her life died 4 years ago from congestive heart failure. And she used to eat chicken and fiss while she made me and my dad meat and potatoes every night. Second hand smoke may have been a part of it, but who do you think should have been dead first? He's 83 and the doctors can't believe how strong his lungs and heart are. Just goes to prove, eat right, exercise, and die anyway!
so he started smoking at 5? fuck they just keep getting younger and younger
^lol
Hey, toolman. if your father is strong as a smoker, imagine how much HEALTHIER your father would be if he didn't smoke. that gets me, all these people who say bullshit like "my (father, mother, grandfather) does (insert bad habit here) and they're still living strong." closed minded garbage!!
So relaying a story about life experience makes you closed minded?
oh yeah toolman, my dad has been smoking for 83 years and has had a healthy life. He's 78 and the doctors can't believe how strong his lungs and heart are.
my lie makes more sense
I started smoking at the age of 18 and quit a year later when I got diagnosed with high blood pressure.
thecraze..toolman says his father is 83...fucking 83!!!!. How much healthier can he get you tit!!!
my father smoked for almost 50 years....brain tumour killed him.but when he croaked his lungs were clear
I'm going to try to smoke even more
My great grandfather drove a car, rode a bike and played golf into his 90's. Around 98, his eye sight failed. He died at age 104.
He smoked a pipe until he was 94.
Hey SpankQuest, what do I need to lie about that for? He actualy got suspended from Kindergarten and told me they would stand at the trolly stop and wait until it came and the old guys would throw thier smokes on the ground and they would pick them up and smoke them. Not much to do back in 1929. I'm sorry that doesn't impress you, but then I wasn't trying. And by the way, I don't smoke.
mmmmmm...cancer.
Doesn`t affect me. I`m a Leo.
Watch out for feline distemper.
Tar is cool.
yeah, to rub under your eyelids!
It's great for roads too.
best.
Gotta love dramatizations
Gotta love dramatizations
BITCHES! please don't lynch me!
I think we'll just take you behind the woodshed, boy.
Goan make yuh squil lak a stuck pig.
(For the love of God, someone try to sound that out.)
^forrest gump-ish accent?
Yeah, pretty much. A little bit thicker on the Southern, though.
with a pinch of redneck?
Yeah I think they stopped these because their impact wore off pretty quickly. Now by law cigarette packets are half covered by photos showing mouth cancer and gangrenous limbs. They should have done one on how it effects the sexual performance of males.
I've seen one. It shows a cigarette going limp and mentions impotence.
they're all over in Canadaistan
LOL, canadaistan. good one, dik!!
But if I don't smoke how will people know how cool I am?
With a MuchoSucko T-Shirt, of course.
damn right!!
From my knowledge only whores and gentlemen smoke
Are you calling me a whore?
how'd you know I was talking about you?
well, he's certainly not a gentleman, so that leaves us with whore...
Star please get an image for your avatar. Preferably one of your glistening, puckered corn hole ;)
don't bite your toungue there.
oh cervix_surfer, you silver-tongued devil! how you make the ladies swoon!
that comment really makes me want to make that my avatar.......
I prefer the term, gentleman-whore.
i only smoke after sex. And thats just from the friction.
ba dunt ba
huh... wtf is a ba dunt ba.... justsay rimshot...
I believe 1scottish1 meant BA-DUM-BUM-TSSSST
you mean 'ba-dum tssssss!' ?
lol ba dunt ba
Then you're safe. How often is that, twice a year or so?
every cigarette is doing you damage
EVERY CIGARETTE IS DOING YOU DAMAGE.
they really tried to make sure you wouldn't skip that certain line..
haha i remember when everyone hated you zeppelin
i still do. he's on my retard list
well thats cool im on a list
on we sweep with,
threshing oooooarrr!
our only goal will be the western shore!
This almost makes me want to stop smoking......almost.
I smoke and I don't take these things seriously. We live in an age of paranoia and fear.

It will never end and I won't stop smoking because I enjoy it and I will die anyways. Mind as well die knowing I am doing something I enjoyed.
^yeah, but for you, your last years will be terrible with your smoke-wrecked body, coughing and heaving all day.
+you call smoking 'minute'? there are not so much habits as bad for you as smoking. alcohol too, but i shouldn't even have to mention that.
what's this? vic's not being an asshole? no waaaay, mucho has frozen over.
It's pretty obvious if you look around that smokers ain't doing so great. Come up with all the justification you can to make yourself feel better about it, but the fact remains those cigarettes are visibly fucking the people over more than whatever is in the air or their sex toys or whatever.
come on kris, where the fuck do you live? on a fuckin coal-fired power station in China? your arguments for somking are more ridiculous than the idiot saying he looks cool with a cigarette. btw are you wearing a gask mask to prevent you from inhaling conspiracy shit?
^lol
and mybrainquit, since when am i known to be an asshole? i didn't think i'd have such a rep here, i'm quite a nice guy, if i may say so myself..
right, i didn't mean it in you being an everyday asshole but i identify you as one of the hardcoremuchoers, and sometimes the usual because-of-the-appaling-stupidity rant follows ordinary comments. I expected suh a rant here, not a good explanation. I'm sorry if it came out wrong(the asshole and all), i have no brain. Wanna join team puke?
well, people only get what they deserve from me..
..most of the time
join team puke? i created team puke..
no even better, i gave birth to the creator of puke.
*team puke
fuck no!! i didn't give birth, what am i saying. i impregnated his granny.. yeah.. that's it.
Great point there kris, I agree with you 100%, there is crap in the air anyway so why stop smoking? ....on that note; im off to go get pissed & play on the motorway, could get hit by a car anytime, why bother avoiding them huh?
I'm starting to worry about you, Vic. First you're defending a cock, and now you're giving birth!
Strange.
In his defense, there's a lot of old research to show that smoking is healthy. Kinda like the research to show DDT was great, leaded gasoline had no downside, and fluoride in the water was good for us.
^ asbestos is also the material of the future!

yeah, that was way to long...if you wanna keep smoking then keep smoking.
I needed a smoke just to get through that comment.
lol
Every cigarette does damage but i look fucking cool doing it.
their not cool... they cost a fortune now. :( nothing cool about being poor.
*their = they're
cigarrettes don't cost much here cuz we get them from Indians (feathers not dots) 10-20 dollars a carton
The thing about a cigarette is: there's a fire on one end and a fool on the other.
what's the secret to quitting??
In my case it was trying over and over for more than a year, and then just being very determined. There's nothing I've ever done in my life that was harder or that I'm more proud of. It just about broke me.
i guess it's harder for me since every one in my household is a smoker.. peer pressure that's my exuse.
you could act like a little kid and break them everytime you see em putting one in their mouth.
i'm still sort of smoking.
lets start off with the weed, can't really quit that yet. i smoke about.. let's see.. 5 joints a day. sometimes more, sometimes less. let's just say 5 on average. that is about 4 cigarettes just because of the joints.
i stopped smoking at home(don't smoke after dinner, coffee whatever anymore), i only smoke when i'm drinking alcohol..
so my 'quitting smoking' wasn't *that* succesfull after all, but i'm glad it's become less, at least.
It's hardest to quit an addiction when you have another one to go with it. And very few people have only one addiction.
i used to smoke too much weed vic, I'd go through an 8th every 2 days, but I never smoked cigarettes. they just never appealed to me. And i gave it up when my chest started playing up. it was easy because I had a genuine reason to want to stop, whereas if you try and quit just because you think you should then that's no real reason at all and you'll lapse
well, i've thought about only rolling pure joints, but i have to admit, i hate the way pure weed tastes in a hasjpipe, or bong. and i can't really smoke a pure joint without coughing half the time, so.. i'm going to have to think of something else..
the thing is; i not only like getting stoned, but also the smoking part is what i love about it..
so i won't go and buy a vaporizer.
oh, yeah, this reminds me, as of this year, you can also buy hemp in coffeeshops to replace the tobacco.. i might try that.
i just realized that could've been a joke^ if you read it wrong.
hemp, meaning parts of the plant, NOT the buds.
Mmmm sticky buds. Wait ...no...I've stopped that shit! Strange that, I used to smoke joints quite a bit, even to the point of using a 16th in a single rizzla, then stopped. So why can't I just stop smoking cigs the same way?
Maybe I'm just weak and pathetic. : ((
i was a bit of a pot head in high school (everyone down here is), and i just decided one day i look pretty dumb whem i'm high, if only i can make the same connection with cigs.
yeah.. but it's just so good!!
yeh I do miss it, and it's pretty difficult cos i live in a house with 4 other stoners, but in the end I think about how much money I've saved and stuff. when someone's got some particularly strong stuff though the smell does make me salivate a bit. but then i just get drunk

They left one major thing out. Smoking aggravates sleep apnea. Thats what killed my best friend who smoked.
does it turn out lethal? i thought those people always woke up after a while..
Does when you're driving.
sleep apnea.. not narcolepsy, fug
lol
Pah! Apnea, narcolepsy, they're both dangerous if you're driving.
: )

i think that was the wayed they said a good life would be in school.
15. Have a very nice bed because u sleep 1/3 of your life.
Wow! You need to relax after typing all that.
Here have a blunt.
you need salt. you just shouldn't have too much of it.
So don't go out and lick a driveway with rock salt on it?
unless you're a goat.. or a horse, no.
food already contain salt, and water etc. You get enough salt from that.
..so what are you saying? i should never put extra salt in food?
i never put on extra salt....i never eat bread with butter....i try to avoid sugar....and try to avoid bad fat. Eat lots of fish and omega-3 pills , eat 25% vegetables.
have anyone more then me experience that while you typing sometime it bugs and u cant write anymore....really wierd but whatever , the food you eat should be atleast 25% vegetables and fruit. Try to avoid redmeat......try only to eat meat from reindeers, mooses , rabbits, birds etc.
+ beer, kebabs & pizza!
sorry, but fuck that. i'll just continue using salt to improve the flavor of food. i drink enough water anyways.
Like I said, exercise, eat right and die anyway. Now I'm not saying, go out and kill yourself, but enjoy what you like, don't worry. My mom tried living healthy and she died first!
vic: you dont make the salt more healty by drinking extra water. You little salt monster.
Well that scares the shit out of me and i quit 10 yrs ago.
I smoke cigars because ciggs taste horrible.
..are you kidding me? a cigar is just as bad.
not so much for your lungs
but so much worse for your breath and teeth.
Mouth cancer baby.
yep, that too. i'd rather have cigarettes..
But you get EXTRA cool points if you smoke cigars.
Don't forget that most people smoke a cigar maybe once a week. Compare that to a pack a day.
mouth.. cancer..
Gotta love the CSI style dramatizations.
Oh, and EVERY CIGARRETTE IS DOING YOU DAMAGE.
How does one quit? you just stop smoking. I did 6 months ago. No sweat.
If people really want to put you off smoking, then they shouldn't pour some Fowler's Treacle onto a slab of meat (get the irony in that bit? - this is a healthy (but dead nevertheless)lung), they should have shown the real lung of a serious smoker. We're not kids, we can handle real medical conditions, can't we?
I don't see the irony. The healthy lung could be from the decapitated russian guy from the recent vid.
On second thought maybe that guy ended breathing some blood? :-/
At least these are better than those pretentious truth.com ads. I fucking hate those kids.
