Skree000 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 pros: -you will look edgey and badass to some people, and can consider yourself an equal to the respectable and classy hollywood actors of old. (circa 1950 when smoking was 'cool')-you will employ the tobacco and Bic Lighter industry and give some people a job-your voice might get husky and raspy, which is widely considered very badass and sexy cons: -you will look idiotic and disgusting to many people (relatively larger numbers of people will feel this way about you, opposing the above small minority which likes it)-mouth that smells and tastes like dog ****. . They enjoy listening to you speak, but wont want to get personal with you because you stink-inside of your house turns yellow-teeth turn yellow-skin on face and hands (and other areas) turns yellow and/or dries up, loses elasticity-strong lines eventually form around the sides of your mouth and or nose, usually caused by the above-hair and clothes you wear, and those around you smell like an ashtray. Guests will leave your house (or your presence) and seek to wash clothes/have shower ASAP.-carpets, fabrics and linens in your house smell like an ashtray-you will compromise your health and reduce your lifespan considerably-you will compromise the health and reduce the lifespan of those you love, those you live with and or those you are near-you risk the health of your unborn progeny as exposure to carcinogens has recently been proven to taint, mutate and/or otherwise damage your DNA. (ie. kids will carry on poor health, you are risking your future, if you ever have them). -you will be forced outside to continue your habit, shunned from society as a menace to health. Forced out into the cold in winter every 20-30 minutes sounds nice, doesnt it?-you will notice serious financial loss as you continue supporting this habit. Wasting away all that money, gone up in smoke, literally. Every new pack you wont even remember the temporary/instant release the previous pack gave you, all you will care about is the next release, the next cigarette. All your spent money has accomplished nothing.-youll have to invest in ashtrays, spending yet more money-youll have to invest in lighters, matches or other fire starting products-youll risk looking like a worthless hobo if you ever lose your lighter, bumming around asking people for a light. Very unclassy. -youll put out alot more garbage, and therefor have to either take out the trash more often, or get someone else to do it more often. ie. cigarette packs or cartons volume x number of packs per day smoked + volume of ashtray contents = more garbage = more work to do. I dont know about you but i dont enjoy taking out the trash. Having to do it more often would hamper my mood. bottom line, yes, some women might think you are edgey and sexy for smoking, but 99.9% of the time, its because they smoke too. And i dont know about you, but discolored-skin, yellow-teeth, dischevelled looking women that reek and taste like dog poo are not worth trying to impress anyways. Literally, smoke causes the cells to necrotize and rot in your body, paralyzed and dying, covered with the tar and contaminants. The 'dog poo' smell is not only the garbage from the cigarettes coating your mouth and lungs, but the smell of rotting flesh as you kill your cells one cigarette at a time. The smoke itself may smell different from brand to brand, but in the end, the breath from your mouth smells JUSt like feces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodric Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Discounting the possibility that the first post was a troll post I will suggest something slightly different, don't smoke cigarettes. I have smoked on and off for perhaps 15 years. The reason I say on and off is that unlike many I regard smoking as a true VICE. Something one takes the time to linger over and enjoy. This by its very nature means no cigarettes since they are at best a dirty habit engineered for minimal pleasure per unit per measure of time. I still occasionally smoke a pipe or cigar which I tend to do with a bit of relaxing. Overall the process of smoking a pipe or cigar is the focus of the time in question, not something done to "take the edge off" or as a compliment to something. More recently with the purchase of my latest Hookah I've been smoking some fairly decent shishas from various distributors. It should be noted that none of this is quick, the pipe is likely the shortest time investment and hovers around 45 minutes. The cigars anywhere from an hour up to 2 for a fine cigar such as a Arturo Fuente Anejo Torpedo, at $35 bucks a pop plus tax its not something you rush. The Hookah takes an hour or more depending on how much and how fast you smoke but can be recoaled several times. All in all if you go the route of the edgy and hip you will end up nothing more than one tired addict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michlo Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Sounds like a troll to me, I say don't feed him/her. If you really are serious that those are your reasons and after the wise words given you here, you still start then I am very sorry for you.

If you're going to smoke something you might as well smoke crack. Both will kill you but at least with crack we wont have to deal with you for as long.
