So is smoking really that bad?

it really is bad. its not propoganda

 

Yea, its actually bad. Never smoked a cig before, besides one drag. I hated it. Don't see the point in it, it's like playing a game to see if you can get cancer or not. Fuck cigs, stick with weed.

 

bad dude

those fucking things make me literally sick, everyone I know who smokes bud seems to smoke cigs too, but I just can't handle that shit. And it doesn't even get you stoned...you have to get addicted in order to get anything out of them...fuck that. I'll keep puffing my joint, you go on and enjoy your cig.

 

You need to understand how propaganda works in both situations.

When tobacco came out, it was even advertised as being healthy and stuff. As more and more court cases came against tobacco companies, eventually they were required to say that it was linked to cancer. Eventually, they sued back and got it changed to "may be linked to cancer", etc. The propaganda with cigarettes was trying to minimize how bad for you they are, not vice versa.

Pot is basically polar opposites. In the 20s, they got people worried about it because of how it allegedly effected mexicans and blacks. In the 30s, they said it made you go crazy. In the 40s they were saying it caused brain damage, and in the 50s and 60s they started the whole gateway drug thing. Then they come up with amotivational syndrome. Now after 70 years of bullshit, their stance is "We don't really know, but what you don't know is dangerous so it needs to stay illegal"

If you're not already smoking heavily, why not quit now? It was when I started to feel an urge to smoke that I quit, because I don't want that feeling. Once you're addicted to nicotine, you're basically in a constant withdrawal. You smoke, you think you got some sort of relief but really it's just relief from the withdrawal until it starts again after however long. It's a lame ass addiction. And expensive.

 

weed has 0 deaths ever, smoking cigs has 400,000. EVERY YEAR


What does that tell you?
dont get caught up in that shit

 

Might as well just quit now. Dont want to deal with that shit.

 

Depends on the person's personality. If you have an addictive personality you'll feel like you want another cig for a long time before you get completely over them. Also once you get started it is VERY HARD TO QUIT.
EDIT: This is just what my friends have told me, they smoke 2-3 packs a day. Fucking chain smokers.

 

Look up the statistics of how many smokers fail to quit for every smoker who tried.. it's pretty hard to quit from what I've heard. It's just not worth it man lol. I think most people who are hooked to smoking would advise you not to start.

Plus, there's no quitting esophageal cancer, that shit will eat your insides alive. Take it from me, smoking kills.

 

This, btw you just hit 2000 posts.

 

It's one of the most persistent addictions there is, the longer you do it the worse it is to quit. I smoked for 18 years, and finally quit a number of years ago.

The tobacco industry uses radioactive soil to grow the filthy stuff, and that's probably why people get cancer from smoking.

Every time you light up a cigarette, you're letting them poison you for profit. Don't be an idiot by doing what they tell you - quit now before it gets to you.

 

Even without an addictive personality you will still get addicted. Just the ones with the addictive personality have a much harder time quitting. Then again, every smoker has a hard time quitting.

 

I get drunk on a weekly basis. I don't smoke cigs. So not really.

 

Personally I would throw them away, but really if its only a half pack you could probably just finish those and never go near those things again.
