There is no reason why a person should start smoking other than because "other people do it", when you start smoking and become addicted.....then it's a different story

Smoking is such a sheep activity

I disagree.
First time I smoked were when a friend gave me some of those swisher mini cigars (like cigs) you could either inhale them or choose not to. I eventually started inhaling, and then said screw this im just going to cigs cause they were easier and just felt better to inhale. The thing is I never did it to look cool, and would rather do it alone or with only friends who smoke cause even I think its tacky. I always though I would be able to kick the habit if i wanted but i thought wrong. The best I did was 2 months without one.

I hate cigs, wish i never started. Its a shame cause i rejected them for so long. Then eventually caved. 

Falling for peer pressure = doing it to be cool. Drinking and smoking, starts off by pressure from peers, then becomes nasty addictions.

this is why you smoke:
- you work hard for 8hrs and only have two 15min breaks + lunch......vs a smoker that takes their two alloted 15min breaks AND ten 10min breaks to smoke + their lunch 

NOT FUKKKIN FAIR!!

so you have a break that totals 1hr 30min vs a smoker that has:

3hrs and 10min of break time




smoke away my ninjas...smoke away

Why do people care if someone enjoys a stimulant or not? We all have an expiration date regardless of what you do in your life. 
Guess what certain produce you eat leads to cancer, you gonna ask people why they started eating potatoes? 

I agree to a certain extent, that most of us destroy our bodies one way or another (ex: fast food) but as a non-smoker, I'm not trying to be in the same car with 2 or 3 people smoking at the same time. Why should I have to be subjected to another person's bad habit? Someone eating potatoes, for example, really doesn't affect me. Smoke being blown in my face, however, is quite disgusting.

I'm not judging anybody, I just don't want to be in a room clouded with smoke.

I started smoking cigarettes at 13. I was influenced by my older cousin who actually gave them to me. But I quit smoking 7 new years ago when I was 20. I tried patches and nicotine gum, none worked. Cold turkey was what worked! I guess it's a mind over matter thing in the end. I still hook up with maryjane though.

[an dee 51o]

Yeah, I started smoking to be cool, but I was 13! Just a little kid. I'm 23 now, and still smoking the cigs

Trying to quit though. The thing I'm most scared of is I know plenty of people who have quit and a lot said that they gained a significant amount of weight after quitting.

Not about that...
