Smoking at a young age.

[AnAccount]

Cigarettes don't kill, the side effects kill.

But the thing is, you can get cancer without smoking too, everything that you get from cigarettes you can also get elsewhere.

Just putting out there..

I guess the only thing I can't recall is if they said he smoked or not. This was back in 2004, so as I said, the details aren't what they used to be. Had I been on this forum in 04, I probably would've been able to give it to you straight almost as soon as we'd heard. but again, this was a few years ago, so details are more than I can remember.

I never will smoke. I think it's one of the stupidest things to do at a young age. But I understand it happens through stress and etc..

I used to be a smoker. Until my lung function went down in a very short amount of time. I went from a 1 cig a day to 5 a day, within a few weeks and decided **** this.

I switched to weed and couldn't be happier. All cigarettes make you want to do is want another, where as weed changes your mind set and makes you enjoy life even more..

You don't even roll your own anymore?

One thing is confusing me, though: How is smoking weed a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes? I thought they were both the same thing or at least similar?

Weed and Cigarettes are completely different, if you don't know what Marijuana is look it up.

Anyway, some of the differences is Tobacco has a high tar content, Marijuana contains tar, so does everything else which is burned, but at a much lower level, and users of Marijuana only smoke a cone every now and then if you are a social user, if you are a daily user you probably smoke a few cones a day, even if you are a daily users a pack of cigarettes compared to a few cones is a huge difference in tar levels.

As well as that the Tobacco industry uses lots of additives in their cigarettes, some reasons are to make it more addictive, not burn so fast, stay alight etc etc, therefore you are getting a lot of toxic chemicals, where as Marijuana heads are just straight from the plant and no extras added.

Say if you were to smoke pure tobacco, it would be very harsh, but better for you than cigarettes you buy in stores because there are no additives added.

So in reality, Tobacco isn't the problem which is killing people all of the additives etc added to cigarettes is killing people, Tobacco is still 100 times worse than weed anyway so it's just a healthier choice, and gives you a great buzz, not only socially but it really enhances you mind and makes you think.

Uhmm weed does not have tar in it,the tar comes from smoking it. You will not get any tar or atleast very little if you vaporize it. This ofcourse depends on the vaporizer aswell.

Look it up on yourtube, put smoking weed vs vaporizing there have been a few tests showing how much healthier vaporizing is.

Well, if I they didn't bother me at a public place, then I wouldn't really mind. As long as they're doing it in private and not in my face. XD

A small few of you (mainly staff) may know that I'm a smoker. I'm 17, and have been smoking since I was 10.

I smoke around 20-30 cigarettes a day, then odd cigar and sheesha when my friends come round.
My parents accept and allow it. The majority of my income goes out on smoking so I'm nearly always broke. Except just now, I got $12 into my paypal through my Bux site whilst typing this. :lol:

Either way;

I'm interested to see how people feel about young smokers. Never really got round to asking anybody.

I know what cigars are (I didn't even know they still manufacture those to be honest. Those things have been around for so long, probably as old as time itself) but what's sheesa? I don't think I've heard of that before.

 

[Gimgak]

Sheesha is the tobacco you put in a hookah.

 

[alfred01]

In this day and age, I think everyone, young and older, knows the possible consequences of smoking. I smoke myself but have to admit that it is disturbing to see young people smoke. The thing to remember is that, as most parent's realize, you can't stop your child from smoking if they want to. They'll just do it behind your back anyway. I would say that more education would be the answer but there is so much education now that if people haven't caught on by now, they never will.

Good for those who don't but don't be too judgmental. Is everything you do perfectly correct?

You know what i meant. But yes, vaporizing is much better if you can afford a vape, or edibles, both are healthier options.

Unless you're estupido and actually eat the bud itself instead of extracting the THC, getting all those nice chemicals that were put on it by dumbass growers/pigs/both

Well my great granddad, he died of cancer
from smoking too many cigarettes
but I must confess that he did quite profess
at being the coolest motherfecker I've ever met

That's 'cause smoking makes you cool
and smoking makes you rule
so just light up a smoke
and you'll never go broke
and you'll be the most popular kid in school
the coolest kid in school

Well I've traveled millions of Marlboro miles
but I still haven't gotten anywhere
and I made a million dollars in Camel cash
but I am still just as broke as when I started

But that's ok, 'cause smoking makes you cool
and smoking makes you rule
so just light up a smoke
and you'll never go broke
and you'll be the most popular kid in school
the coolest kid in school

 

[Shahrier]

I do yes, but I enjoy it.

People will argue that it doesn't have any connectionwith cancer, but my fitness levels have dropped but I recognize and accept that.

You realize that if you ever want to have kids, that they will have a very high chance of getting cancer?

One friend of mine.. His dad smoked like crazy and laughed at everyone for saying he will die early. His sister died of lung cancer at age 23 because of how much his dad smoked.

 

[Hissae2]

I have never smoked and never will. I mean, why would I want to waste my money killing myself? I am nothing to gain, everything to lose.

I also find it really annoying when people smoke around me, I don't like to breath it in.

Yeah, I'm forced to hold my breath. Second hand smoke is just as bad.

 

[Tressy]

I really hate the fact that my dad smokes and have been advising him to cut down on the cigarettes, but it's not easy since he started smoking at age 15 or so.

 

[wyldeflower]

I have smoked since i was 13 a long time ago but i am now trying to stop with those Electronic ciggarettes and they are quite good..If i could go back in time i would never have started to smoke..Its expensive and really just a habit i could do without..I so love a coffee and a ciggarette first thing in a morning and find it hard to stop but i would say to you stop if you can and save the money..

 

[ogbrandon]

Kids who smoke = Retards.

 

[Gimgak]

Kids who smoke = Retards.

So you're saying that people who are born mentally retarded and have done nothing wrong are as bad as people who choose to smoke cigarettes?
