Am I wrong in saying that if you were born around 1990 or later...

[CapitalC]

Damn, well aight B. Lol. Good luck with that shit.

Im not on crack I smoke jacks lol.

I forgot to mention I'm a creature of habit, might have something to do with it...

some people smoke all their lives and don't get cancer or emphyzema FACT

 

[CoolJoe]

No prob Bob, I do smoke to get high but I also smoke just cuz I like to smoke. It replaces eating kinda. the first cig of the day can get you a lil buzz, but that's how they get ya, addicts always chasing that shit....
Hating chewing gum, mixed with the famous oral fixation, I think is why I smoke cigs...idk
"There's cooler ways to die but I'm smokin"

The reason why I smoke.
I'm trying to cut back to just smoking here and there when I'm drunk though.

Drunk jacks are the GOAT, might even smoke a black when I'm drunk...

Cancer paper intact of course...

All these 16 year olds that smoke do it to look older and look cooler. Ask them at the time and they will never admit it, but ask them 8 years later when they realize how much money they spend on cigarettes every damn day and they might say otherwise.

Yeah if you smoke, period. You're a dumbass. I don't know how it is with black folk, but almost all white trash smoke. I'll got a college bar where people are atleast slightly educated, and the smoking area outside is a small number. I got a shitty blue-collar type bar, and literally the entire bar will be outside smoking at some point. I don't know what it is about people with low incomes that make them such smokers. Low education maybe, I don't get it.

Unless you live a stress free existence and have no family history of certain illnesses, the odds are more than likely against you rather than for you.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Same can be said for soul food, driving fast, the sun, unprotected sex...
I smoke cigarettes because I can't smoke weed all day...
Plus us smokers have an excuse to go outside every hour @ work...
All the cool kids are doing it...

That's not really true. All those things you named are bad in high doses or when done unwisely, but they all have redeeming factors. Smoking cigarettes has none. It's one of those things you have to start for a stupid reason, and then once you do you're hooked. The reason I pointed out the age range I did is because people in that age range have absolutely no reason to ever pick up the habit, yet the do anyway.

What redeeming factor does artery clogging food have that a jack doesn't?

If smoking a cigarette helps me chill, isn't that cool?

 

[Darius]

i smoke. maybe 3 packs a week. and i know it serves no purpose, it is a waste of money, and is probably taking years off my life. but i just can't quit. nor do i want to. i love them. but its really not addicting like people say.

If it acts as a crutch all the time then I would say no, it really isn't.

and they are a great appetite suppressant.

The artery clogging food tastes good, and when push comes to shove it will keep you alive even if it can shorten your life span. Cigarettes won't do that.

And the helping you chill thing is a bad argument because like I said, the cigarettes are part of the reason you need to chill so bad. It's a crazy cycle. You're addicted to nicotine. When you don't get it you feen for it. When you get it, that craving is satisfied and you're calmed. However, if you weren't addicted to it in the first place, you wouldn't need it to chill.

Only when something else kills them first. Lol.

Capital C and you both mentioned this and since you both pointed it out, are you using it as one of the benefits? Or it just comes with the territory?

Cigarettes taste good to me, I dont think the jacks are why i need to chill tho...

I disagree with the quoted post but all jokes aside you're right smoking cigarettes is kinda dumb, but it's one of those fuck it things to me...

But I mean damn a lot of smart people smoke jacks...

 

[Darius]

Capital C and you both mentioned this. Tell me why you want to suppress your hunger so I can understand.

i can eat a healthy portion of food and smoke a cigarette and be good. but without the smokes i have to eat like 3 healthy portions, then a burger and fries on top of that. and at that point it becomes unhealthy. so either way i'm doing something unhealthy, and i'd prefer to be unhealthy and maintain my recommended weight rather than become obese

For me, both...

But ironically a jack AFTER a big ass meal is the SHIIIIT

Hey, crack use leads to weight loss. That doesn't mean people should pick it up for dieting purposes. There are better ways to regulate you food intake.

Anyway, I'm not really going at people who continue to smoke. I know why ya'll do that. It's said that nicotine addiction is comparable to that of heroin. I'm more talking about the people that choose to start given all the knowledge available about the pitfalls of cigarettes. Deciding to do something when every piece of information you have tells you it's a bad move is the definition of a dumbass decision.

 

[Ishi]

Lol at starting to smoke cause its cool you think it will make you cool shit is lame and I'm a young dude myself but fuck doing some shit that will harm me to fit in with people.

TFI till 2013

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

You could say the same thing if your

drinking
smoking weed
cocaine(i bet more people do coke undercover than smoke ciggs)
fast food
etc...

unless your completely clean and in top notch health, you really cant say anything

BTW, I only smoke when i drink
