Smoking at a young age.

I've smoked since I was 13, peer pressure at high school, when I was there it was a cool thing to do and if you didn't do it you weren't cool......
I'm now 40 and STILL smoking, I'm desperate to quit but I just don't...it gets you by the short and curlies
I go for a few weeks then cave in...I'm scared to gain more weight.
One thing I have noticed is that it is now cool if you don't smoke in high school, the kids are smarter ..... :cheer:

Yeah that's true. Kids who smoke cigs at school are not considered cool like they once were.

I wouldn't say that it's considered "cool" not to smoke. It's not necessarily considered cool to smoke, though. It's considered cool to go to parties and binge drink, though. There will always be some stupid kids and some smart kids just like there are stupid adults and smart adults. Nothing will change that. All we can do is do our very best to educate everyone about the risks.MissTake said:

Of course drinking and pot is still considered cool, but the smoking thing is really not. In my school people that smoke are considered outcasts and considered disgusting, though people who pack a lip 24/7 aren't at that level of those who do cigs yet lolSnobothehobo said:

Tha't what I don't understand. More people are concerned with the problems "caused" by smoking, and yet all of the reports showing scientific evidence of a link between weed and mental health problems are completely ignored.
The public have selective hearing, which is fed by the media. They only read what they want to know.

That's because there is none. The scientific evidence of a link between weed and mental health issues is really only established for users who begin at a young age and smoke chronically (meaning 3 or so joints per day, 5 days a week). Normal smokers who do it once a week or whatever aren't going to get mental health issues. It's that simple. You can find the article on ABC news website. It's simply not dangerous unless you go crazy with it, just like anything else.Jay™ said:
Smoking, on the other hand, as I explained, but you chose to blow off, does cause cancer, aside other health issues.

Because I enjoy it.
And there is still evidence to suggest that people smoking weed more than once a week have considerably less memory recollection, paranoia and twitching.

If you don't like living long and just short but with bit/some flame to say in life then smoking,drinking etc are the way to do it.
Taking the best of life as you KNOW IT yourself in your own view each day by smoking and other things can be nice.
But what IF you ever would get or have a girlfriend get children?
What about them? If your a heavy smoker you will die sooner, leaving your children sooner from this earth.
If you smoke you should also think about the future not just the present or the past.

I have no problem with smokers. However, it makes me mad when someone isn't considerate of non smokers and basically smokes on them. I also don't like the smell of cigarette smoke because it gives me a headache and makes me cough..
There is evidence that shows that tobacco causes cancer. 😛

I know there is, but I don't understand why people ignore weed but rage about tabacco!
