No Cigarettes Thread

[wascaptain]

I never used any type of tobacco products.

I find this weird because growing up my parents smoked and when I was in school it seemed every kid but me smoked.
When I was in the service they called for smoke breaks, non smokers continue.
My wife smokes, both my kids smoke
I feel left out.
It does look cool too

It doesn't look cool to me, anymore. I see smokers and I understand the nervousness....the insecurity....the need to appear to be doing something with their hands -to be occupied with something. So the coolness factor is now unmasked for me. It starts out as a nervous shield against looking uncool....and then it just turns into an addiction after a short time. It looks weak to me now when I see smokers...I look back on my own smoking/nicotine habit and see how UNcool it looks....Then again, I also used to think that bell bottom pants looked cool...so what do I know?

I wish governments would raise the price (tax) of cigarettes to level that would deter most people that haven't started yet...like Australia they are $25, here they are about 3euros a pack which is way too low. thank god it quit, such a dumb habit, like no buzz really just weak lungs, weak throat, weak everything

Only negative aspects to it! Some people might argue that it calms nerves, but that is likely because they are just satisfying a craving ie; feeding an addiction.
