Why smokers don't have an excuse, and haven't since the mid-60s.

[Melamoto]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy#Post_war_illness

For a time during the mid-1960s, he became dependent on doctor-prescribed sleeping pills called Placidyl. When he recognized that he had become addicted to the drug, he locked himself in a motel room where he took himself off the pills, going through withdrawal for a week.

Now, if only smokers could do the same, and just go on until the habit is broken. If they want to stop, then there should be no problem lasting a week or so.

[Jezrith]

What if they don't want to stop?

[Rourke]

What if they don't want to stop?

Yeah..i LIKE smoking. I am smoking right now.

[Honest Bill]

Why smokers don't need an excuse .... FUCK YOU!

[Rourke]

Why smokers don't need an excuse .... FUCK YOU!

I'd swear Honest Bill was an American, lol.

[Zakkery]

Fuck 'em, if they want to smoke, let them.

[Goty]

Quitting smoking isn't just hard because of the withdrawals.

It's because killing yourself slowly has never felt so good. Smoking is like a love affair with a really foul smelling grim reaper, but with less sex and stinkier fingers.

That's why I have a hard time quitting. I make it almost a week before I cave in to my desire to chill the fuck out with a cigarette in hand.

[Keorymeshy]

So this one person in the 60s did this to get off a drug and now smokers don’t have an excuse anymore... I’m sorry what are you getting at?

[Rathynas]

I hate smokers. Every time one gets near me, I feel as if he/she's trying to choke me. I'm allergic to it. And they smell like shit. Especially when you shoot 'em and they 'splode in your face.

[Melamoto]

If they want to smoke, they can have all the cancer and tar filled lungs they want. I'm talking about the ones who keep BSing about stopping but who just don't due to "issues".

So this one person in the 60s did this to get off a drug and now smokers don’t have an excuse anymore... I’m sorry what are you getting at?I'm talking about the fact that smokers who pretend to stop or try but put in no effort and then complain that it's hard have to stop BSing.

[Aacevedo]

FUCK YOU OP, your mother doesn't have a excuse for giving you birth.
i'm a smoker and I enjoy every single cigarrete. And when I'come back home i will enjoy some other "smoke" hehe,

[Rourke]

Let's see you try to escape a smoker. It's tentacle rape, dude.

I know. I was joshin ya. I try to not smoke near others. It's kinda rude. But I expect others to not crowd me either if I am there 1st.

[Melamoto]

FUCK YOU OP, your mother doesn't have a excuse for giving you birth.No, although I wasn't aware that she really needed one. Are there people who try to "Quit birth" and hold anonymous meetings of "birthers" who want to give up but can't?
i'm a smoker and I enjoy every single cigarrete.People also enjoy having sex, even if the person has AIDs. Enjoy your nicotine high. And when I'come back home i will enjoy some other "smoke" hehe,Let me guess...more cigarettes.

[Johnny24206]

Yeah..i LIKE smoking. I am smoking right now. I fuckin love smoking! lol i am smokin right now as well and if i wasnt well seein this woulda made me light one up ne wayz lol

[Aacevedo]

Let me guess...more cigarettes.

Wrong! , Try again!

[Gwal]

Pussy. I bet you watch chick flicks alone and cry at them.

I guess you havent played "Left 4 Dead" it was quite a good pun if you have.

[Toilet]

Wrong! , Try again!

If smokers can't quit, it's not because they're weak willed, it's more likely to be that they don't really want to quit, they're just putting up the facade because they're being hassled by friends or family members.

Real quitters can quit easy, i've seen it.

I don't think any smoker is giving really excuse. A lot of smokers who would go through such withdrawal don't because.... They don't have a fucking week or two to sit in a locked up room. See, people have full time jobs and families, which can be rather stressful and leave no time for silly week long rehabs.

I would have definitely made this my siggy but you're join date sucks.

lolololol Drive a car? Take a bus? Take the train? Take a plane?

Dope.

I can't stop smoking because it's for every bitching non-smoker's health. If I quit, I will strangle somebody in Wal-Mart. I am not shitting you, it is one of a handful of things that gets me through the day without beating somebody to death with a frozen bottle of Mt. Dew I have in my truck, or, strangling them like a fucking Roman. I fucking hate Wal-Mart.

[Ramathorn]

I am just worried about my withdrawels I will get from when smokers quit. I will go through a horrible withdrawel if I lose my 2nd hand smoking I have learned to crave from 2 parents smoking and all my friends. :)

but wait guys... all the cool kids are doing it

[Z31Turbo]

Because ya know, all addictions are the same, everyone gets addicted in the exact same way, and EVERYONE is trying to quit regardless of the fact that they enjoy it.

[phyrro]

No one has an excuse for anything. But there is a reason for everything.

I like it.

Yes, sounds so awsome, to smell like ass, to taste like ass when your girlfriend kisses you, to have nice yellow teeth, to rot every thing from your brain to your lungs.


Mmmmm, sounds sooooooooo awsome.

You can't speak such things about cigarette addicts until you yourself have been addicted to cigarettes...

which in turn would require me to be stupid enough to do so :eek:

Good for you. You should put yourself on a pedestal.

Regarding Nicotine. It's more addictive than herion. Not too easy to kick.

1. My grandfather died partly due to smoking. And hundreds of other people, too.

2. It gives you cancer.

3. I'm allergic to it and can't walk near people who are smoking.

4. It affects everyone around you. Heck, did you know there's now third hand smoking? Just the objects you smoke around become dangerous.

5. It makes you smell like shit, which annoys other people.

here's the essential part of this. Without that clarification, this newfag would just be another "SMOKERS ARE EVIL LET'S BAN THEM WITH LEGISLATION" idiot.

[Sallek]

I personally dont mind smoking, but my wife is a severe asthmatic and she cant really breath around it. This is the only reason why Im against it. She describes it as someone throwing away what they have by actually being born with healthy lungs. Just my 2 cents.

[Mujahed]

Let's ban meat. With all the animals needed to feed us meat eaters so much CO2 is pushed into the atmosphere, destroying the planet.

When we've taken care of that health risk, maybe we'll ban cigs.

[Lofwyrr]

I guess that makes me a manly living passive-nerd (, who smokes).

The major problem with meat is the amount of grain you need to create it.

1 pound of pork ~= 7 pounds of grain.
1 pound of beef ~= 12 pounds of grain.

The other problem is: it tastes so good. :sly:

[Justinian]

for the record, smoking kicks ass. like someone said earlier, there's nothing better than relaxing with a beer and a smoke.

[Grompf]

Do you realize the outcome if smokers quit? The government would raise your taxes. Sometimes I wish all the smokers would quit then the stupid idiots in washington and the states would be poor as hell because they lost billions of tax dollars. I don't think I will quit tho. Mabye just buy some tobacco plants and grow my own so I don't have to pay for welfare babies that think me smoking is going to kill them when they breathe next to me.

[Skitz0]

I quit smoking...coming from 2 packs a day.

One thing I always find ironic about smoking is how so many describe having a smoke as a way to "wind down", or "relax" or something along those lines.

Yet, the physical effect smoking has on your body is quite the opposite, raising your blood pressure, constricting blood vessels, and increasing heart rate.
The "relaxation" comes from the effect the drug has on your brain, which of course is enhanced by Big Tobacco, and bottom line smokers are being fooled into believing it's enjoyable.

I know from my 10 years of 2 packs a day. You say it's "enjoyable", but is it really? Naturally, the act of smoking a cigarette should not be enjoyable since there is not one redeeming quality...but we feel it's enjoyable, and we're succumbing to the illusion created in our brain by the drug.

I suppose that realization helped me to quit. Knowing that smoking is slavery.

Anyway! :D Good times.

My excuse is,its my choice not yours.

Still dont know why thats so hard to understand.

[dinkfall]

Why the governmemnt doesn't have an excuse, and hasn't had since the late 1800s:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Halsted

Halsted's career and life forever changed on October 11, 1884. He read a report, from a student of Sigmund Freud, describing the anesthetic power of cocaine when cocaine is instilled into the eye. Halsted realized that cocaine may be a great local anesthetic, the solution to a terrible problem in the early days of surgery. Having learned the scientific method when he was in Europe, Halsted, together with his students and fellow physicians, began to experiment with cocaine. They injected each other's nerves and showed that cocaine when injected into a nerve can produce safe and effective local anesthesia. They all became addicted, and they all died except for Halsted and his colleague Dr. Richard Hall. Halsted was sent to Butler Sanatorium in Providence, Rhode Island. In an attempt to cure him, Halsted's addiction was converted from cocaine to morphine at Butler. After being discharged from Butler in 1886, Halsted moves to Baltimore, Maryland to join his friend William Welch at the soon to be opened Johns Hopkins Hospital. At Johns Hopkins, Halsted was a fundamentally changed man. Gone was the gregarious risk-taker. At Johns Hopkins he was slow, methodical, and careful. And unbeknownst to almost all, he remained a morphine addict until his death in 1922.


Now where is my morphine?

second hand smoking is bullshit. penn & teller have spoken

[Eldest]

here's the essential part of this. Without that clarification, this newfag would just be another "SMOKERS ARE EVIL LET'S BAN THEM WITH LEGISLATION" idiot.

Exactly, newfags look at smokers and think that their lack of quitting is all due to addiction and that they're all helpless victims/ prima donna victims who "just need to suck it up".

[Supreme Kimone]

Just for you OP, I'm going to get the thickest fucking cigar I can today, and walk down the busiest street and enjoy it, while every other bitch who doesn't like it chokes on my smoke!

[Achromic]

Just for you OP, I'm going to get the thickest fucking cigar I can today, and walk down the busiest street and enjoy it, while every other bitch who doesn't like it chokes on my smoke!

Cigars aren't as problematic as cigarettes. Usually they are kept natural by tradition and cultural respect. Plus users aren't really habitual; more social thing and they don't normally inhale it as deep as say a cigarette. So health problems aren't such a huge thing for cigar smokers unless they indulge in it more often, there's still a risk but not as bad either in 1st hand or 2nd hand.

While some people might bitch it's pretty rare seeing a cigar smoker then a cigarette smoker.

[Sycophant]

4. It affects everyone around you. Heck, did you know there's now third hand smoking? Just the objects you smoke around become dangerous.

Did he/she/it really just say that? Wow drink the kool-aid you smoking nazi fool.

[Indagda]

Consumer cigarettes are an abomination to tabacco. Smoke a pipe or cigars if you must.

[hurriedcorgi]

I'm an x-smoker and I find nothing more annoying than the non-smoking nazi's that think just because I made a personal decision to quit I should join their tyrade in trying to destroy personal freedom. The people I know like this think I am their poster child for making, "greeeeeen healthy happy decisions." Fuck off.
