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

and you smoke cigarettes, you're a dumbass.

I mean, if you were an 80s baby, you probably heard that cigarettes are bad for you, but it was one of those things where people say that but never gave a convincing reason. Nowadays, everywhere you go you're either bombarded with data showing how bad cigarettes are or you run into someone who has been smoking long term and see how fucked up they are.

The crazy thing is cigarettes don't even do shit for you. People think they calm them, but it's that need for a nicotine fix that has them on edge to begin with. So they essentially solve a problem they cause. If you see someone willingly become a crackhead, then you're probably going to call them stupid because we know how bad crack is. Well cigarettes fuck you up too so shouldn't we think the same way about people who pick them up knowing what they'll do to you?

Fuck that, if you're born after 1980.

Smoking a cigarette once in a while for real won't really harm you. Lungs are resilient. Smoking packs of cigarettes, c'mon slime.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I see these 15, 16, 17 y/os smoking and I'm like "What would possess you to have started that?" I mean there is no good reason to ever pick up that habit this day and age.

But I'm saying though. Every generation has smokers who started at a young ass age.

Yeah, but the point is if you're 21 or younger, there is no age where you weren't made painfully aware that cigarettes are bad for you. It's basically like you pick up a drain cleaner and drinking a tiny bit of it everyday. It's not going to kill you instantly, but eventually it's going to fuck you up and what does it really provide you in the way of positive effect...nothing.

I can't call it but I doubt the reasons have changed over the years.
I know that the majority of smokers, not all, but many of smokers I've ever come across say that their parent is either a smoker or former smoker. A lot of kids end up picking the habit from home but of course school and other influences also introduce it to kids.
And even then, I'd say more than less 15 year olds are not really that health conscious. Sure, they hear "it's bad for you", "it causes lung disease" so on and so forth but it pretty much goes in one ear and out the other with many. They aren't checking for health.

Which is even more perplexing to me. My mom is a smoker. Which is why i know up close and personal that it's a disgusting habit. Promised I'd never pick that shit up when I got older. Plus, I'm not sure my sister would ever forgive me if did. Lol

Which is exactly why I didn't apply that to all smokers. A parent smoking especially in the home can cause the exact opposite. The fact that it's been around you as long as you can remember alone can turn you off of cigarettes for life!

I'm saying though, don't you smoke weed to get high? So cigs replace that how? Is it just the act of smoking? Help me out, mayne.

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
