... any opinions? I'm not a smoker, and don't want to be. I don't judge people who do, I have many friends who do... and I understand that once you start, it's hard to stop... what I don't get is why one would want to start smoking... there are many reasons NOT to... but we all know them, so I'm not going to lecture anyone... I'm just interested in opinions

Tried it but it wasn't for me.
I felt so weird after it... it was horrible.

I have absolutely no desire.  I really want to know why anyone would start too!  The only reason I can think of is to look "cool."  Are there any other reasons?

My Ex Boyfriend's Parents where chain smokers. And all of his mother's sisters were too. He usually smelled of cigarettes. I hated it. Because I would come home smelling like it. Disgusting. I dont smoke, and I don't intend to at any part of my life.

I just hate smoking. It's so gross. It stinks up everything. Even if you aren't doing it but others are, you smell.

I can only tolerate it at the casino, haha.

I have many friends who smoke when they drink.

 :lol:  :lol:

At the casino you are too busy trying to win money to notice! When you leave all of a sudden it is like "ewww" lol.

I'm not a smoker and probably never will be. I am not a big fan of how it makes you, and all of your stuff, smell. I grew up around too many people who smoked so I was turned off to it at an early age.

I smoke and don't tell me to stop.  I'm a courteous person who will go somewhere else if asked to.  There are the few people who walk up to you and don't need to be around you for any reason who just walk up and demand you stop just for the reason to bug you but other than that no big deal.

If my friends want to smoke, I don't really mind, as long as it's not in my face. It makes me cough. So if a person is courteous, then I don't mind. I don't think it's good, but my friends can make their own decisions, just as I choose NOT to smoke.

lol. All of you keep complaining about the smell.... who cares about the smell? How about the fact that it is poison wrapped in paper. That's my reason for not smoking

Here our packs have pictures on them- the subjects of these photos include: a mouth rotting of mouth cancer, a foot severely affected by gangrene, a clogged artery...  8O

So now, if you would rather not look at "offensive" pictures, you can buy cardboard covers for them, with pictures of chicks/fit guys' chests, flowers, etc.....  :roll:

I wish we did that. Pictures speak louder than words sometimes.
