Poll question: Should I start smoking?
The Peeps experiment really loosened me up, and these days I'm exceedingly tense, lost, and worried with a pain you can't begin to contemplate.

As a person who's been smoking for more than half my life - HELL NO.


edited in an afterthought - my answer depends on WHAT you're smoking

:smoke: Cheers!

3. Don't start smoking
I hate it but depend on it. Well I guess I do like it but it's so bad and smelly.

7. Tobacco? Stupidest thing I ever did.
A dismal method for suicide.

8. If you're gonna smoke something that will kill you eventually
Or at least, contribute to something that does kill you, don't go wimpy and smoke cigarretes. Smoke crack!

At the very least, smoke cigars, and inhale.



just kidding

10. God no
What the hell are you thinking?

You would be further ahead to take up heroin or cocaine because it would probably be easier to kick!

Slap yourself- HARD!

Whatever you do don't take up smoking!

12. I quit
after 32 years, last June. It was very hard, but I'm glad I did.

I still have dreams about smoking. It's very spooky. If I find out I have cancer though, I'll probably start back up.

13. I've read your posts
Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 09:37 PM by camero
If you really think you're leaving us for the wild blue yonder in the short term I don't see the harm in trying but it is very addictive.

But you would be better off with another vice. Nicotine is just a temporary spike. Maryjane would be better.

Edit: Saw my own obvious hypocracy...lol

15. Pick another vice...
You've undoubtedly had some friends who have quit or tried to quit. Remember the hell they went through. You'll want to quit eventually too, do you really want to go through that?

16. I'm stressed. Hmmm, what should I do? Maybe I should
start a habit that makes me stink, is a terrible example for children, makes me not be able to breathe properly, supports republican-owned Bu$h loving megacorporations, pollutes the environment, and will eventually kill me.

Yeah. That makes sense.

Please don't start smoking.
