Why don't you smoke?

The CIGARETTE smokes. I'M just the SUCKER.

I quit because I was persuaded that it's not healthy and blah blah.

Why should I?

because i discovered that C10H13N2O4 'Nicotine' is a 'Highly addictive' 'Narcotic' 'Supertoxin' [same category as Heroin, Strychnine, Arsenic etc] which
had invaded my mind via receptors at the base of my brain and was responsible for, voices in my mind which I had assumed were 'me' [the one writing this to the 'you' reading it]. .

when I would ask myself why was I inhaling this yucky dangerous stuff, costing over three thousand dollars a year, the voice in my head answering things like;

"I like it when I'm having a drink" or "I like it when I'm having coffee", or "I like it after a meal" or "I like it after sex" was not me..

The voice in there was telling me things that were not the question I was asking myself.. like a lying politician, 'I' was having myself on..

Lying to myself.. saying things like; "I wont get cancer" and "its all a lie that your erections not as strong" [and so on]..

As if, there was some sort of implantation in my brain telling me to do something I really didnt, want to do..

For me this was like being hit in the face with a shovel.. I screwed up my pack, got rid of lighters and ashtrays, opened a bank account called 'Sanity' and deposited the ten bucks a day I would have spent on this shit drug of addiction in that account . .

after ten days it was out of my bloodstream, and I then knew that it was in fact, not, me, thinking those thoughts but the nicotine creating those thoughts using, my brain, against me . .

I havnt had another one since.

thats why; 'I dont smoke'. . .

Smoke what?

Cigarettes:

I wish I could, there is just too much negativity towards it right now. I had to quit because I can't smoke anywhere anymore.

I used to enjoy it but it's nice to not have the phlegm anymore.

Sinsemellia:

I smoke the ganja every once in a while. Cannabrownies are my favorite though.

Because at a young age my body had a terrible negative effect when taking a drag from a cigarette Peer pressure was always there but I refused to smoke and changed friends if the issue was too great.I don't need friends that want me to smoke and they are not true friends if they try to put that shit on me.

... how long can you go without food ???

... how long can you go without water ???

... how long can you go without oxygen ???

... which is more important to your life, food, water, or oxygen ???

I have never actually tried smoking, but I tried to figure out how smoking helped breathing, and could not find any evidence it did, nor could I figure out how smoking helped the blood, the heart, strengthened the immune system, toughened the bones, etc., I just could not find a plus side that appealled to me.

Smoking is selfish, stupid and harmful.

When you smoke, you do not seem to care about anyone else around you who is also breathing your smoke.
Stupid, because the only reason you got into it was because your friends were doing it too, or you thought it might help reduce stress.
Harmful, well I don't need to explain that one.

Because im not stupid. i wanna live and not die at 35 because i got lung cancer.

Because I'm not on fire.

i have just 2 lungs & if i had 4 then i wud have considered it

*sarcastically* because i dont want to look cool and fit it.

growing up, being the blacksheep of the family that doesnt smoke, parents that didnt stop saying "we dont have any (extra spending) money," all of them said "i cant stop my $5 pack addiction. now that i am all grown up by age, not character, i can spend $5 on another drink and buy a car!! most importantly i dont like it and even if i did, i still dont want to!

Because I never have a lighter when I need one.

I don't like the smell that it leaves on my clothes and hair.

Because, It would affect my lungs, affect the people around me, and I possibly might develop cancer. And last of all I don't like the smell of the smoke.

i think that smoking is gross i never smoked and never will no offends smokers
it is just what i think about smoking

Because I have seen first hand what smoking does to your body and the bodies of those you love.

I don't smoke because my step-mom used to smoke around me for 7yrs and I would always go to school smelling like ciggaretts and when I would go visit my family they would always tell me that I smelled bad. I suppose it made me feel bad therefore that's the feeling that I always associated smoking with and I was never curious on starting.

Because I have more important things to waste my money on and I enjoy not coughing my lungs up like a coal miner or some unwanted street urchin from a Dickens novel.

Because I think it is disgusting, and it kills you.

I try not to kill myself before my time. I also don't play Russian roulette with real bullets....

Smoking is in direct conflict with Bible principles.
You are supposed to treat your life and body with respect because it is a precious gift and you should not do anything that can hurt your neighbor.

It interferes with my jackhammering!

Tried it once.... just wasnt my thing

The reason I don't smoke it that when I was 14 I tried smoking to be cool, and I couldn't inhale so everyone laughed at me. I stopped trying to smoke while all my other friends got addicted. Now I am the one laughing while I save a ton of money and don't have to worry about dying of lung cancer or reeking of smoke.

Because I don't want the cilia in my lungs to die and stop working.. and then the mucus to build up and cause me to cough all the time!
And I don't want to be addicted and spend my money on it.
And I don't want to increase my chances for lung cancer.
And I don't want my teeth to stain or breath to smell bad.
And I don't want my things to smell like smoke.

I just don't want to. :/

I've tried cigarettes and cigars and theres nothing I can honestly say I liked about them.

I don't smoke because i don't want to waste money on something that i know will slowly kill me or give me an illness that will forever be with me and sucking all my money and life away. I feel privalaged to be alive and healthy and wouldn't want to jeapordise that and be disrespectful to the fact that i am alive for a reason so there's no need to poison my lungs just for a few minutes here and there and shed out a fiver or more on a pack of 20!!! and yep, the smell is awful and kissing a smoker would probably be like licking an ashtray that had beer spilt in it!! and as for people saying its peer pressure or stress...i managed to stand on my own two feet when my m8s were doing it in school, its all about will power to say NO THANKS...u'll only be shedding out more cash to try and give up, not to mention your skin will have aged sufficently more than it would have done if you didnt start smoking, teeth would be yellow, breath would constantly smell, clothes, house...etc. I think i could babble on more about how bad smoking is in the long run, so if your one of those ppl who think its "COOL" to smoke cos u see it on tv or wot not then in the words of Celine Dion..."you better think twice"...its not worth it in the long run cos u could be one of those unfortunate ones who suffers, or worse give a loved one an illness through PASSIVE SMOKING!! which smokers seem to think it doesnt matter just dont go near them, but non smokers can smell better than smokers, we know when we are breathing in selfish smokers cancer...

youngsters....please think twice before smoking its not all its cracked up to be, u'll be smelly, could develop a disease or give a loved one one, and as for the new rules that have been stated, you'll be a larry standing outside on ur own puffing away. its an expensive habit!

that is all.

Because I'm not smoking tobacco and if I do I bum one and not smoke for two weeks at a stretch (sentence fragment). It's a dumb habit but fun to do at times.

Because it's a disgusting, smelly habit that deadens your taste buds, deteriorates your senses, reduces your immunity, causes coughing hacking and excess phlegm and eventually kills you.

Because I watched my father die of Emphysema. He had the disease before I was born and he died when I was 25. I never saw my father healthy a day in my life. It is so very hard to watch someone you love struggle every day just to breathe because of a disease brought on largely from smoking. . . So, I made a choice not to smoke because of that.

Because it's very unattractive!

because there are better ways to die

I'm not stupid.
There are better ways to die.

Simply because everybody in my family does and I don't like it, or want to subject any of the people I care about to the nastiness associated with smoking.

Because it smells awful.
Because it's bad for your health.

I do, so I guess i do don't , if you will...

im a childrens fitness instructor at 18 lol

I used to smoke simply because I enjoyed it and not for stress reasons like a lot of people. But I had to quit because I couldn't stand the smell on my clothes.

I smoke when I drink.. the two vics come in a package for me...

Its unhealthy and I have asthma. And its just plain nasty.

I dont want to make some cunt rich by fucking up my health

Because is bad for me.

I can't think of one reason why I'd want to smoke !!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I grew up, I thought to myself
"That's one habit I'd rather
not start in the first place."
[A "Yuck!", "Blecch!", or other
interjection suggesting disgust
is optional.]

I just don't feel like it.

because its relle relle bad for your health, and it makes your breath smell, and it's just a relle bad habbit to get into..!

cant bloody afford to!!!

So many reasons. It's bad for me, it'll worsen my asthma by a lot, it smells disgusting, and I don't intend to waste my money something I don't need and have never wanted.

i just dont like it..............
i dont have interest in it................
