If your a smoker and you want to quit, then go to kissstick.com and order one of the nice devices that can stop your smoking. This can also stop chewing and can relive stress. Just give it a try. They are only 7.99 each.
Yeah I've got the dirty habit of smoking, you want to quit but you just can't help it, and it can screw up your life also. I've already lost my girlfriend when she found I smoke, stupid bitch. Anyway I'm not paying £7.99 for some device when I could easily just get the patches for cheaper.
I don't smoke so forgive me if this sounds ignorant, but wouldnt the cheaper option be to not buy any more cigarettes instead of buying patches or gum or other things to get you off them.
It all about will power!!! (is that one word?)
I don't smoke, but anybody who holds something like that against people is a complete fuckwit. You can't possibly profess to understand the circumstances behind their taking it up in the first place, nor how difficult it is to give up, unless you've experienced it firsthand. It may not be the brightest thing in the world, but if someone's doing something that's not hurting you, keep the fuck out of their business.
i cant stand bloody morons who smoke around non-smokers. i take care in my health and i dont want some addict coming up to me damaging my own health. if you have a gun, shoot yourself, not everyone else around you first.
i find this funny, our town centre recently turned into a smoke free zone but you still get the ignorant few who think they have rights.
never really thought of that Hagar. if theyre ill then yea it should be free just like everyone else. but at least give them a scare or 2 in hospital
"It may not be the brightest thing in the world, but if someone's doing something that's not hurting you, keep the fuck out of their business."
dont you get second hand smoke where you live Radix?
another thing is i can understand why people would take drugs because they change your world, like if your depressed or whatever. but smoking? with no mind altering side effects? seems so pointless
Of course smoking has mind-altering effects, it's just not as much as other drugs. Why do you think people would even start if it didn't do anything for them?
Smoking is bad, mmm'kay. I don't, and I don't appreciate when other people do around me, but so long as people have a little consideration then it really is their choice. Many people start when they're too young to really understand the consequences (or care about them) and then the find it impossible to quit. However, to anyone trying to quit 7.99 sounds like reasonable value for your health.
Why the hell am I on the computer at 1 in the morning? No, don't answer.
You didn't even know who she was so shut your mouth. I'm not calling her a stupid bitch just because of that, but she was horrible to me and cheated on me twice but I still forgave her, and dumps me when I spark a fag up in front of her and gets her sister to slap me.

i personally hate smoking itself, not smokers. if someone blows their shit in or near my face it really does piss me off, but if someone tells me that they smoke, it doesn't prejudice me against them too much. makes for pleanty of hilarious jokes about how they're going to die from cancer at any rate. i'm all for banning smoking in public places, espescially in bars and pubs and the like, like they've done in Ireland, because i'd like to go outside without inhaling a load of shite and subsequently dying because of the actions of someone else.
Why should you care what others do anyway? If somebody smokes why do you make a big deal out of it, concentrate on your own health instead of calling smokers fucking idiots, well you my friend are the fucking idiot so why don't you take care of your own life, while others take care of their own lives.

broomie, you're missing the point: passive smoking effects the health of non-smokers. we have every right to bitch if our health is being affected. "you can smoke by all means, i don't care, just so long as you don't do it near me" is the general mentality.
My dad used to smoke, and he gave up on pure will power. Ate mints all the time to keep something in his mouth, and went swimming a lot, since it's remarkably hard to smoke whilst swimming. Was in a foul mood for about two weeks but then it was all over.
It's all about choice, every smoker out there at some point chose to start smoking, I don't hate them, but I hate the smoke they create especially in crowded places.
Radix's first comment says pretty much everything I would have.
I have the occasional hit from a bong, but I stay away from cigarettes. The only time I touch them is if I get particularly drunk and feel like "being sociable", as it's known, because pretty much all of my mates are heavy smokers and that's just how they chill when we're at the pub.
I don't smoke, although I did pull 7 cones on Friday night.
That just makes me a stoner...and with the addition of 7 beers with those bongs...that'd make me an alcoholic stoner.

you probably think im being harsh on smokers but a mate of mine died because he had asthma and pricks at school used to 'be cool' by smoking near him. so forgive me.
and yes JP, second hand smoke is bad.
if smokers killed themselves in thier own houses then woo! happy days. but when they do it outside, on buses, outside shops, in cafes then it becomes my fuckin problem.
I tried smoking only once (one of my friends said I should do it, which usually causes other people to get addicted to smoking as well) but somehow I screwed up (inhaled a bit too much ). But because of that I didn't do that ever again
So my advice thing is: if someone wants you to try smoking as well, just screw up and you won't get addicted to it

"2nd hand smoke is so minimal that there will be no noticable effect on your health."
bullshit. tell that to roy castle. oh wait, you can't, because he died from lung cancer - caused by passive smoking.
I don't smoke AND I don't drink ANY ALCOHOLIC DRINKS! I'm an absolutist!
...And PROUD OF IT!!
Beware, be alert, prepare to defend yourself, or just run for your lives(!), because
JarmoNator has entered the building... (see avatar)
that dark human beast is almost unstoppable, invincible and totally gone CRAZY!
I smell bad? aww man.
I never smoke but people I know smoke and they love it. I don't understand that one. Most people that smoke want to quit, but not my friends.
Smoking tastes bad, smells bad, makes you smell bad and gives you short breath and higher chances of dying and is an expensive thing to do. On the plus side, you get a little niccotine rush. I never did understand smoking.
Marijuana, now that's a whole other matter.
Weed is better for you than smoking tobacco is. And it isn't addictive, well I don't think so anyway. You can quite easily go a few weeks without a joint, whereas cigarette smokers have several cigs a day. Plus weed really shouldn't be illegal while alcohol and tobacco are legal.
All of the carcinogens in cigarettes are present in pot, I think it's only healthier because it's less addictive/harder to get. You can't really become a pack-a-day smoker with weed.
Marijuana has been proven to be not addictive, but it can become a habit in the same way that biting your nails or gambling does. The main problem is that a lot of people mix with tobacco, and that's what they get hooked on.
Not all of the carcinogens in tobacco are present in marijuana, especially manufactured cigarettes which have additives, whereas most marijuana is pretty pure. I'm sure that'd change though if it was legalised and mass produced like cigarettes.
isnt cannabis the only thing you cant die from overdose with? you can die from too much drinking water, too many apples but ive heard that cannabis has no limits.
i agree there trevor, weed isnt legal but cigarettes and alcohol are on the good side of the law. maybe because we dont need yet another legal drug out there.
Nobody's mentioned that marijuana causes learning and memory problems and destroys motivation. Clever people who can't be bothered to go to university, or don't care, and stuff.
TeaPOT: weed's addictive, but not as addictive as tobacco (which I've read is equivalent to heroine in addictivity). Anything that generates endorphines is addictive, because your body always wants more of them, that's why they feel good in the first place. Having sex generates endorphines, so we want to do it as often as possible, which is our bodys way of making sure we reproduce.
Jay: You could die from an overdose, just not easily. You need like a hundred times more to die than you do to pass out, and it acts quickly.
my brother used to be a real smart person, hell he was 8 and he was finishing the real smart point and click adventure games. even making a few KnP games. but recently hes gotten into drugs and smoking and stuff. nows hes pretty much the equivalent of a retard, hes only 15 and hes leaning out of his bedroom window smoking at 2am stinking the house out. my dad even built a smoke alarm in a hidden place in his room cant wait for him to set it off
seriously drugs, peer pressure and hanging around with pricks has pretty much destroyed him. and because hes too soft to say no.
that said an uncle of mine is 40-odd. been smoking a lot ever since he was 14 and whilst not the perfect picture of health, is doing ok. had 2 dogs that survived way into thier teens too.
It all depends whether you're a casual user, like I'd call myself, or dependent on cannabis. I've had 'friends' before who I'd describe as dependent, but I only like it enough to have the odd one, rather than twelve a day.
Smoking ain't good for ya, and I don't see how people can actually seriously enjoy smoking tobacco all that much, but there's much worse shit out there.
Pot NOT being one of them of course.

-Nobody's mentioned that marijuana causes learning and memory problems and destroys motivation. Clever people who can't be bothered to go to university, or don't care, and stuff.-
Lol I already have that, what's to lose? Yeah that was stupid, but you have to smoke the stuff quite alot, and besides perma fried ppl are funny . On another note, I find that alot of ppls' parents smoke marijane, Kinda funny too but crazy you know?
My dad used to grow it when he was younger, during his biker phase. But anyway, that 'marijuana causes learning and memory problems and destroys motivation' is non-scientific bullshit made up by anti-marijuana leagues. It may cause those symptoms while you're high, but there's no long term effects.
Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes = No thanks
You can have them if you want, I don't care. Just as long as it doesn't affect anyone else.
If someone other than you dies from it, that is alot worse than yourself dying. Because it wasn't their choice.
I hate it when people are killed by high/drink drivers or passive smoking.
Even satanism condemns weed. Being high blurs true human sensations, it says a lot for you and your mates if the only way to have fun is to get a chemical to do it for you. And yes I am aware that all states of 'fun' are technically chemically induced.
some guys were rolling up a joint in Burger King in manchester yesterday and nobody around did anything about it. if i hadnt have pulled my chest muscles from trampoleening id smash thier heads into the table. or maybe just tapped them on the shoulder and ran away.
"Non scientific bullshit"? You suprise me, AsparagusTrevor, you sound like those creationists ignoring all the evidence in those debates about evolution and stuff.
http://www.nida.nih.gov/Infofax/marijuana.html
Also I wouldn't have said all this if I hadn't seen myself how it changes people.
I, too, have seen how weed changes people and I'm only 14. They become more lethargic, uglier (true) and increasingly paranoid. I am not just listing the symptoms I have been told, this is all from experience going to school in Dundas.
i noticed that pot smokers had weird eyes, like thier skulls changed or something. their eye brows preturded and thier eye sockets sunken. maybe because they started at a young age (13 in some cases).
Tigs, I've also read scientific facts to the contrary.
I don't doubt that people who smoke weed a lot are changed by it, just as people who drink a lot of coffee are changed by that, or tobbacco smokers, or alcoholics. Prolonged and frequent use of pretty much anything will change a person.
Everyone knows that smoking and alcohol have changed society, probably for the worst. But it has become so ingrained that making it illegal is proposterous. Weed is illegal to prevent another social 'epidemic'.
My school got on the front page of the paper for being the #1 pot school, with more users than any other school in my area. I know thats not an achievment to be proud of.........but i still am.
And how can we rightly answer that question?
Whichever of the two are best able to guard the laws and institutions of our State --let them be our guardians.
Very good.
Neither, I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is to keep anything should have eyes rather than no eyes?
There can be no question of that.
And are not those who are verily and indeed wanting in the knowledge of the true being of each thing, and who have in their souls no clear pattern, and are unable as with a painter's eye to look at the absolute truth and to that original to repair, and having perfect vision of the other world to order the laws about beauty, goodness, justice in this, if not already ordered, and to guard and preserve the order of them --are not such persons, I ask, simply blind?
I'm not a smoker and I will never be one. I hate the smell of it and I can't breath right if I'm close to cigaret smoke. Probably my asthma.
I hate smoking but I don't hate smokers as long as they don't tell me that I should smoke.
I don't drink alcoholics either, except on really special days, and for me that would be christmas (little bit of wine).
Sorry but smoking really is gross... The smell is bad enough but talking to folks and seeing smoke pour out their nostrils and the corners of their mouth is just... well... gross. I try to be polite; I don't go picking my nose and scratching God's gifts while talking to people so it's not unreasonable to suggest smoking is should be done in private.
I have compassion for people who are trying to quit smoking. I have no idea what it's like to try but I imagine it's pretty hard. On the other hand though, I don't understand why someone would start in the first place, knowing as much as we do about that sort of thing in this day and age.
Oh yeah and the funny thing about marijuana: All the kids I knew in highschool who smoked weed were morons. I don't know if they smoked it because they were morons, or if they were morons because they smoked it, but the connection was definitely there.
If I've left anyone unoffended, I apologize :^)
Last time I had lobster, it reminded me of biology class. Except in biology class the professor didn't make you eat the frog when you were finished.
When I was in 6th form I was always offered weed, and always declined. But there was this one day when my girlfriend-at-the-time went downtown with me to the local church cemetary, near the river, and she told me to smoke some of her weed. Embarrassingly, it was a bloody cold day and I dropped the spliff in a puddle due to my hands being so frozen
Probably the best thing that could have happened, I suppose.
