Starting to Smoke

[venomai]

How is smoking cigs like drinking a gallon of gasoline in any way? You're dead within the hour drinking a gallon of gasoline.

 

He actually said smoking a gallon of gasoline. The flame would ignite the gallon of gasoline, and in seconds your face would be engulfed in fire.

 

 

 

A slight misrepresentation, if I may say.

Well, if you were one of those guys that stuffs-in-mouth-and-smokes 50 cigarettes at once, it could very well happen.

[obfuscator]

i'd say don't do it. It may give you temporary stress releif but having to rely on something like that will only make your life more stressful in the end.

Well, you're both pretty slow tbh.

 

 

 

Smoking a pack of cigs is like smoking a gallon of gasoline he said, correct?

 

That only means they both cost about the same, and using cigs is a waste of money, and just as much of a waste as getting rid of a gallon of gas. He only means that they're both a stupid waste of money, he isn't going to light up a gallon of gas.. #-o

I would recommend weed before I recommended cigarettes. Seriously. Cigarettes have been scientifically proven many many many times to be far more harmful than the effects of marijuana.

You mean when you compare a pack of cigarettes a day to a less than chronic marijauna user, say once every other day?

[GGunitfan10]

Every pack of cigs you smoke shaves 3 hours and 45 mins off your life. I saw it on a sign at the human body exibit couple months back, it was under the lungs section

Quite. Most marijuana users don't go by 20 or so doobies a day. And instead of recommending a drug that has a high chance of getting him in trouble with the law, why not recommend, I dunno...Doing neither?

If you want to relieve stress, there are better things than cigs that you can smoke.

 

Marijuana, right? It has to be marijuana.

Or crack. Everyone loves crack.

Guys, a moderator has already told us that we cannot talk about or suggest elicit drugs, which four out of the last five posts were about.

Fiiinnneee. I suggest buying a motorcycle and riding it to relieve stress. I should have one (hopefully) within the next six months. I can't wait! :thumbsup:

If I could be a super-hero, I would WANNABE MODERATOR!

 

 

 

But uh, go running to relieve stress.

[fastortoise]

People who start smoking with the exact same reasons you have are those who become chronic, addicted smokers. Out of all the people who progress to heavy drugs (excluding MJ), these smokers make up the majority. You'll be smoking for all the wrong reasons, and it could lead to a bad lifestyle. If someone thinks i'm full of bologna, go read The Tipping Point by Malcom Cladwell or something.

 

 

 

Anyways, the best way to get out of your conundrum is to talk to your parents about it. I also worked during my high school years to help out with the bills but one day in grade 11 I sat down with my folks and told them about my problems. They obviously understood and acted as if they could manage without me working. So if i'm correct and our positions were once the same, your parents will value a good education and won't mind you quitting so long you give good reasons and show academic improvements.

 

 

 

It was the best move i'd done in a long time. Talking about these kinds of things when there is so much strain and tension in a family does wonders. Now you can go along smoking and doing other things in order to get a nice view of the world without any unhealthy addictions.

Just curious, what would you consider the "right reasons" to start smoking?

To look cool, of course.

[dsavi]

Peer pressure and getting the girls to like you, to add to that.

Exactly. Who doesn't want to be like James Dean?

Oh you're feeling so pressurised by work you decide to put yourself under a huge financial burden to slowly kill yourself. Great method of releiving stress/pressure! :wall:

 

 

 

Have you ever smoked before? People only feel relaxed by smoking because they've been smoking for a while and become dependant on nicotine. Your first smoke will probably cause you to splutter/cough or even wretch.

 

 

 

DO NOT START TO SMOKE.

[evil_mumm_ra]

my first smoke was fine. didn't really do much for me, but no coughing or anything. that was probably at about 11 or 12, don't exactly remember why i did it, probably cause that was the age where i was eternally pissed at my parents and stole them from my dad. then i got in trouble (not for smoking) for "playing with fire" cause i was using matches to light them >.> then i used to have a cigar every once in a while at like 16-17, birthdays and such with my friends, then i started up again at around midnight of november 11/12 of 07, right after a modest mouse concert. i just had a huge urge for one so i bought a pack. haven't really felt like quitting yet although i know i should.

[brunokiller]

Getting lung cancer will give a lot of stress too.

 

 

 

Get rid of the cause of the stress not the stress itself instead of just trying to sooth it with cigs.

If you smoke it properly, I don't think that is so likely. If you swallow the smoke (common mistake for beginners) you're going to get a terrible stomache ache or vomit (quickly make yourself burp if you swallow the smoke). If you put your lips to the cigarette and inhale, you'll end up coughing/choking because the smoke it going to be constantly going down your throat and that's not a good feeling. But if you pull the smoke into your mouth, move the cigarette away from your lips, then inhale you're going to be far less likely to cough/choke but you still need to pay attention so you don't swallow the smoke. I had been smoking marijuana for a while before I started smoking cigarettes so I knew what the smoke felt like going into my lungs, it was just a little different to smoke because I always used a pipe for the marijuana.

Kill his family and his teachers?!?!?!?! Sounds... DIABOLICAL!!!! :twisted:

[The Observer]

Smoking isn't going to help that much. Being busy will mean that you won't have a time for a smoke and then you'll have intense urges for it which will just build up the stress even more. I'd suggest not doing that.
