To all smokers :)

It might be obvious that smoking cigarettes doesn't bring anything positive. But it is not true. Smokers are more immune from Parkinson's disease than non-smokers. Smoking is also a source of pleasure. We smoke to add oureselves some authority, unwind, or give our hands something to do, Cigarettes are also things that consolidate smokers - going out for a cigarette toghether can allow you to make friends - says psychologists A. Grabowski

Obvious things, but when we hear it from psychologists we truly belive them
I'm afraid those are the only positives from cigarettetes. Unfortunately.

More immune to parkinsons? but more suseptible to cancer...which is better to be more suseptible to?

Source of pleasure? so is sex...sorry but it is, and chocolat...

Authority? Try wearing a suit? or actually earning the authority?

Unwind? Read a book, watch t.v.

Give your hands something to do? Text another virgin mobile for 3p!

Help you make friends? bah...would you wanna be friends with a coughing weazing smoking yellow fingured addict?


Sorry, but smoking does NOTHING to help, and I stand by that.

unwind

It's interesting how people say smoking helps them to relax and calm down. Doesn't it increse your heart rate?

hmm you completely kicked me off (good phrasal?)
I just wanted to say that in everything we can find something positive, and for me it is true. But Arti attacked me completely

I call them "cancer flavord death sticks" ....but if you choose to do it, that's your choice

Awww mentos Im so sorry, It wasnt to attack you honestly! It was against the psychologist...sorry you feal that way I really didnt mean it like that

GOOD QUESTION!!! easy answer...I'm addicted. I started to be cool and I had a friend who worked at a conviencence store and gave them to us for FREE... SO we smoked like Satan's ass! Now I'm not a stupid kid anymore but still have "stupid kid" hangups!!! Although I have cut back to about 5 cigs a day and to ultra lights. KUDOS FOR ME!!! They do calm me down though. Nicotine has been a good friend through rough times but is always there to make me feel like crap too.

as for my case... it is a different story... I smoke coz I like it... but... I can stop smoking whithout any problems for 2- 3 months (realy I can do it easily). I've already done this kind of breaks, but now I'm smoking again. Why? I like it.

But why did you start?

For the first time I just wanted to try... it was hmm... 6 years ago? Yeah something like that. But then I was hiding all over from my parents coz I was a kid. I can't say that now it is not kiddish...
5 years ago I wanted to smoke to "be cool" what was a stupidity, but now it gives me a little bit of relaxation. Actually I don't smkoe too much... it is about 3-4 for a day, sometimes less, never more so it is ok, I suppose. There are days, as I said earlier, when I don't smoke completely. I must have a special mood to smoke

Socializing is a heavy smoking time for me. Hanging out at the local coffee house or the bar. OR sitting at the computer for lengthy periods,...oh also when I'm painting... for some reason it helps me concentrate.

exactly!
