Smoking ..umm..something The Smoking Thread

Write all u want about smoking. "Normal" smoking as in Cigarettes but if u want you can discuss THAt smoking as well.
First of all i'd like to know...Who smokes here, how much, why, who wants to quit but cant, at what age should it be "legal" etc. etc.
As for me: i smoke very very rarely..sometimes its one cig in 2 months sometimes its 3 in a day(when going out mostly)
i do feel that it calms ya off a bit and i like to play with the smoke..its more the "atmosphere" than the flavour itself...but id never be able to smoke every day...yes
...
WRITE

ive also tried canabis, tac, dope, shit, whatever you wanna call it, a few times and its cool, but only once in a while.
i dont do out else. and out of interest in only 15, when did u try dope?


Posted by TranceGiant on Nov-17-2001 12:19:

when i wrote about my smoking habits it was always tobacco.
Weed .... not too long ago in summer while being in the city of sinners, amsterdam , and im 17.
It was nice, but i guess i can do without too
We'll see what my college years will bring

smoking (a cigarette) is in my estimation one of the dumbest thing you can make. First, you do not only damage your health, but the health of others (I cant stand mothers smoking a "ciggy" every damn hour while holding their baby in the arms); alcohol for example will just damage others, when you get out of control.
But the biggest reason I cant understand smoking people is, that you dont get any "flash" while smoking a ciggy. Just for relaxing is bullshit too, there are other possibilities, for example listening to some good relxing trance music . And it cost you a damn big amount of money (at least for me as a student its too much).
Smoking a joint is abit of another thing because you "get" something in return. But I do not smoke joints very often (just a bit more than 1 per month!!!), because it gives me nothing really. I dont want a relaxing feeling while Im on a party, I want have energy!


Posted by serialkillah on Nov-17-2001 14:11:

Yep, I lighted my last cigarette about 3 months ago and I'm glad I stopped. Once in a while I still smoke a joint I Started smoking (weed & cigarettes) when I was 14...


Posted by Spad on Nov-17-2001 14:25:

I gave up in Feburary. From the age of 16 (I'm 22 now) I smoked roughly 20 (one packet) a day. Then last Christmas I was walking down the road and I got a really sharp pain in my chest and couldn't breath. I had to go to hospital and they said I had a pneumothorax (think that's how it's spelt) which is like a weak spot in my lung, apparently pretty common in tall thin people like myself.

Anyway's if that spot it put under strain then it can rupture, which is what happened to me. So some air escaped from my lung and got trapped outside the lung, between it and the lung cavity. In the worst case, the lung can deflate completly and put pressure on the heart causing death but this is rare.

So anyway doc tells me to give up the fags (uk for cigarettes btw) which I do. I still smoke when I'm out clubbing or at the pub, but I no longer smoke at work or at home. So I'd guess I smoke about 20 a month usually. Sometimes I'll go a bit mad if it's an all-night event though.

But there's the story anyways. Hope you enjoyed it. The one lesson I learned was that it's true when they say that to quit you have to want to quit. Basically I know the danger I put myself in if I take it up again so I'm able to keep it completly under control very easily, whereas before this I'd get very irritable and nervous if didn't have a cigarette for a few hours. Last time I had one was October 28th (I think I got through about 30-40 in the 48 hours previous to that)


Posted by XxClayxX on Nov-17-2001 15:17:

I only smoke cigarettes when im drunk and then its usually only 1 or 2

As for the "other" stuff its usually an every other day event. maybe ill stop when day when i grow up or something but as for now who knows


Posted by biznology on Nov-17-2001 18:12:

a couple when im drunk, kb occurs in larger amounts less frequently...so far no addictions or anything, but the THC headaches can suck...late/


Posted by babyecstacy on Nov-17-2001 18:16:

Well I'm only 17, I'm currently in the process of trying to stop. Over the summer I probably had about 5 a day. Now I'm down to 1, if even that alot of the time. I can go without them, so that's what I'm trying to do right now. It's no good...

I smoke a lot, I was basicially one of them pricks at high school who thought yeah fucking smokings cool. Well I smoke well too much I've been know to smoke 60 cigs when I go like say from 7pm - 5 am its nuts, I need smoke to only because I'm addicted to nicotine, but I have a psychological addiction aswell, that I have a cig with a beer, ot after dinner so on, its mental routine and aim to crack it in future, plus my major problem is I'm naturally an agressive person, not saying I'm a nasty piece of work, but lose my temper frequently and it can get severe like the other day I had no cigs and I was drinking a cup of coffee and all of sudden some almighty rage come over me so I squeezed this cup so hard the fucking thing exploded and I cut my hands badly pissing blood everywhere lol, but I think thats my main problem I naturaly think that having a cigarettes going to calm me down when really it won't, its just my brain telling me it will, like for an instance something goes wrong and I get annoyed myfirst reaction is hit something or 'fucking hell I need a cig' I think I will probably resolve the problem of being totally dependant on cigarettes in the future maybe when I'm calm and I've settled down, like I suppose in a way everyone has their ways to calm anger mine happens to be a cig and drink, others its music, others drugs, its mostly psychological any addiction and cigarettes and much as being chemically addictive, the psychological battle of quitting is the worst to face.


Posted by Renegade on Nov-18-2001 04:44:

Yeah I'd agree with that psychological addiction.

Even though I've been smoking for a couple of years now, and I'm probably on 5-10 a day, I'm still fairly sure I'm not addicted to them physically, but the mental addiction is just a killer.

The difference, for those who don't know, is that with physical addiction you get this kinda tense, tingly feeling in your chest and the only way you can get rid of it is by lighting up and filling your lungs with sweet, satisfying tobacco......

Erm, the mental addiction on the other hand is just this kinda purely psychological craving - like the sort of cravings some people get for chocolate or whatever - except the craving is stronger in certain situations. For instance, whenever I'm drinking, I need a smoke there as well. Not because the alcohol intensifies my addiction or anything, but simply because I've grown so use to having a smoke with my beer (from far too frequent visits to the pub - blech).

Do I intend to quit then? At some point yes, but not in the next few months though. I just enjoy it too much, and I don't have any "desire" to quit at the moment. Like Spad said, there's no point in trying to quit unless you want to quit, and I'd completely agree with him.

What's yer brand by the way? Easily 90% of the cigarettes I have ever smoked must have been Dunhill Blues. Smooth and rich.


Posted by {b.s.e.} on Nov-18-2001 05:43:

Mmmmm..cyanide.

I can only smoke when I'm not in my right mind.. the taste is so awful. I'd rather be stoned than feel light headed for a few seconds(which goes away after you actaully become addicted.. where does that leave you after that?).

I should buy shares in Benson & Hedges Using a figure of an average of 1 packet a day costing an average �3.80 over 6 years I've spent �8322.00 on cigarettes since I was 16. Enough to buy me a pretty tidy new car. So all in all, glad I quit.

Yeah, but you're missing the point.

People don't smoke (cigarettes anyway) for the mind-bending properties: it's a bit like saying people only drink coffee for the caffeine buzz. In fact people drink coffee and smoke cigs for similar reasons when you think about it.....

Smiley DJ Tobacco no WEED yes

I am 17 and started smoking at about 14 then quite all i enjoy is the nice weed which i first had at about 11.
I love the stuff not hooked though just enjoy it when i go out.
hehe
Went to amsterdam about 2 weeks ago i was in heaven.


Posted by DJ_D|ABL0_ on Nov-18-2001 15:18:

I'm not overly bothered about smoking - I don't smoke at all, but unfortunately, someone always hands me a couple when I'm battered and I think it's a great idea!
- That is till the morning and if I even smell a fag I usually spew

As for weed, I can smoke that till the cows come home (sometimes they actually do ) but I don't smoke it all that often. After all, it's got tobacco in


Posted by Flippe on Nov-18-2001 19:46:

I never smoked, didn't even try it!


Posted by Vivid Boy on Nov-18-2001 20:21:

I first tried smoking in grade 4.....everyone is gonna be like wtf!?!? but i used to hang out with grade 9 when i was grade 4-5....anyways that was just the first time i had a ciggarette i started actually smoking when i was grade 8.....(I also smoked my first J in grade 8) i smoke around a half a pack a day which is not alot compared to some of my friends that can go through 2 packs a day literally....i wanna quit now that ciggs went up in price again but can't...dont wanna use the gum cause it doesnt work


Posted by Izzy on Nov-19-2001 05:54:

personally i dont like cigs at all, i get the idea about the atmosphere though. if you want a real centerpeice to set a cool night, get yourself a nargila! they are dirt cheap in isreal, about $25 for a 2 foot tall one. now what you get to smoke is coarsly (not finely) chopped tobacco leaves that have been sitting in molasses for a while. cool part is the molasses comes in many flavors; apple, cherry, grape (yummy), mint, appricot, strawberry, fruitpunch, watermelon, i have even tried licorice flavor! the puff is so smooth and thick and you dont even feel it in your lungs, it leaves a great taste in your mouth and best of all since its the real tobacco leaves it doesnt have much of those nasty chemicals the put in cigs, for example it has basicaly no tar.
go out and try one!


Posted by liquidchick on Nov-19-2001 16:36:

I'm happy to say that I quit smoking. Well, quit buying packs that is. I still smoke now and then - especially at parties. But during the week, I don't smoke at all. I don't even have nic fits. Now that I've stopped buying cigarettes, I have a lot more money to spend. I don't know why I started in the first place. Now more than ever do I notice how much cigarette smoke smells - eeew. Anywayz, that's my happy note. I still think DuMaurier cigarettes (Canadian brand) are the best.

yah i tend to smoke a lot for a 'non smoker' and from anyone ive talked to most people who started recently just began at parties and slowly progressed from there. i think the main reason people get hooked is cause they buy em. it sounds cheap, or like im a mooch, but if you only have one or two, or at least split a pack and then refuse to buy more the next day, its pretty easy to not get addicted. the headaches are a pain in the ass sometimes, but then again its hard work looking so cool... late/


Posted by ABTsportsline on Nov-19-2001 19:17:

i smoke. i have to agree with renegade, there is a huge mental addiction.... although sometimes its physical, b/c sometimes when you get really stressed out or upset you crave a cigarette.... to me i guess i like the whoosh of tobacco going in my lungs. I'm not a chain smoker typically, but i notice i smoke more in social situations...... often when i am hanging out with friends i WILL turn into a chain smoker! i dont know...... i really don't want to quit, b/c i enjoy doing it.... but then again i haven't had any relatives or friends die of it yet so i bet that would change my tune. Or like what happened to Spad. Then i guess i'd quit. I smoke Marlboro Ultra-Lights, BTW, which are veryyyyyy light, almost like air. I mean i guess its not so much the nicotine as just having something in your mouth and inhaling it. i guess...... the days where i stay home and do nothing, i never had a cig........ but the days i go out and do stuff and hang out all night, i'll have a pack that day. weird...... but i guess it shows its all mentality.
