That doesn't make any sense to me. Smoking is toxic to your system. When you smoke, your body is constantly fighting and trying to cleanse the poisons out of your body. Allergies are your body's reaction to what is irritating it also.
How long have you been smoking? Have you ever seen an allergist?

I don't see the relationship between your smoking vice and the way I drive... I get tickets when I am caught. Why shouldn't Chris have sex? Why can't B build up a monster car? What's wrong with the internet? You like your porn also. The toking is along the same level as your smoking...
You should stop smoking for your health, you're not in your 20's anymore so your body isn't as resilient anymore. Then there is the cost of buying cigarettes, Kaori's health and your friends since you make them passive smokers... as to living for a long time, live long for Kaori and your future children.
Keep beer as your main vice and soon you'll have sex back in your life (only mentioned as K's health is no secret on this board). You also drive spiritedly, have porn and internet access, and you enjoy building your monster cars. I think that without smoking in your life, you will have enough proof of your "freedoms".
BTW... keep your smoking, but it's not fair to the rest of us when our health care systems/insurance companies have to pick up the tab for your future illnesses. What a fucking huge waste of money that will be. Smoking does affect the rest of us... both in being passive smokers and in our wallets.

i quit just because...I woke up and was like "i quit"
i feel better.
i breathe easier
i can run
i dont wake up coughing up a lung
i can smell
i can taste my food
That's really awesome Noah! I know a few people who have quit just like that, cold turkey. Otherwise a few have also gone to see this hypnotist in Brookline, MA called the Mad Russian. Famous people fly in for his sessions all of time.
I've never smoked. My parents are heavy smokers, and I thought their vice nasty and smelly. As a kid, I knew that smoking was addictive. I also knew about the health issues associated with cigarettes, so I had no problems resisting that bad habit. The same goes for trying heroin. lol.
Humans and most animals have addictive personalities. My addictions: speed, shopping and food. And sex too, when I find the right "one". B)
I quit when I was 30. When I quit, walking up a flight of stairs winded me. Now I can easily (albeit slowly) run 3 to 5 miles with no problem.
But quiting wasn't easy. It was 3 days of Hell regarding the withdrawal process - after that, it's all in your head, I believe. It was so bad, my gf at the time was practically begging me to give up my attempt! I was a bear. I should have hopped in a row boat and floated at sea for three days to get away from humanity.
The good thing is, however, I know I NEVER want to go through that again - and if I start smoking, I eventually will have to. So that experience keeps me clean.
Quiting smoking was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

I don't really think the smokers care, nor do I think any amount of warnings will make them care; to each his own 
I personally hate smoking, and everything about it, it's just nasty, i hate the way it makes people smell, kissing one is the worst. But hey, you don't gotta quit, the only thing you have to do in life is die and pay taxes

SiGal needs to stop telling people to stop smoking, they will do it whether you want them to or not. It is ulitimately their choice, not yours. They know it is bad and is killing them, but dammit it is their choice. I don't smoke for the reasons that you are arguing, and smoking seems pointless to me. There are no after affects like getting high, which I do rarely, about once every 3 or 4 months. AirJokie when you said that everyone should make the same amount of money so there would be no rich/poor people, it has been tried by a man called Carl Marx, but the problem with that is, their isn't enough incentive for a person to become a doctor over a DJ if you are making the same money, so you would have to go to school to be a doctor and just like music to be a DJ. Granted, some people would become Doctors and what not, but there would be too much demand/supply ratio for certain types of jobs.
I disagree. I smoked for about eight years, and chewed during the last year also. If you smoke, you could go brush your teeth and chew on an altoid. You still smell/taste it, even if it is less. Your hands, face, hair, clothes, breath, they all stink. There is no altoid that will freshen your lungs up smellwise.

Brian- i've told you many times how to get rid of your allergies.
i can help you with this, yet you ignore me. so, don't complain.
you want to get rid of your allergies??? like... for a long time? if not forever?
i'm sure you do.... but, if you don't ask for help, you're not gonna get it. you're just like my mother... you like to complain, and bitch and moan, and do nothing to help yourself.
after i quit bitching and moaning, and actually DID something about my allergies, and lactose intolerance... i felt much much better. it's not even that hard to do. i'm not on a strict diet. i eat tons of junk. but now, i feel good. ah well. whatever you want to do is fine.
you can smoke, and i won't care. i don't care who does smoke anyway. i used to. i don't miss it much, but... sometimes....

I'm glad for smoking. For any of you people that live in Nevada, there was a scholarship called the millenium scholarship. It gave $10,000 worth of money to students with a high school gpa of over 2.5. The scholarship is on its last year now but guess where the money came from??? Tobacco companies. I don't smoke, but those who don't really bother me.

I have occurrances where it's hard for me to breath, even if I've just been sitting doing nothing. I have a fear of me not being able to breath so I don't need ciggs to help that happen. To me having difficulty breathing to the point where you think your heart may give out is one of the scarriest feelings in the world.
I have NEVER dated a girl who smoked. not once.
Odd, isn't it?
i've quit before... honestly, it wasn't that hard. i just had no motivation to go through with it... all this for myself bullshit doesn't do it. I don't care. lol
its not even that i'm adicted to it... its that its something i enjoy doing.
its like not having yoru car for a week. you'll live, but all you want to do is drive.... its the same shit
like B said
i smoke because i like to smoke... im not addicted, i can go days,weeks, months without smoking and it doesnt bother me at all... and for all the "it takes years off your life" bullshit... I DONT CARE... i deliver meds to nursing homes for a living.... let me tell you something... seeing old people like that is some of the most depressing shit on the plannet... i dont want to live past 60-65... besides i do plenty of other things that will kill me long before the ciggarettes get their chance... fuck it

yep... i know totally how you feel.
when i was a smoker... i smoked because i enjoyed it. however, some mornings i woke up and couldn't talk, and hacked a lung up... which wasn't pretty. after that, i decided... eh, maybe i shouldn't do this.

"Everything in Moderation"
Some people aren't very tolerant of the smoke, just like some people aren't very tolerant of dairy.
I'm not very tolerant of Dairy. And I think no one should drink dairy, because when I do I get pretty sick. (Sarcasm)
The problem with a lot of "choking and hacking smokers" is that they smoke too damn much. I'm guilty of it when I'm around friends, in bars etc. But when I'm by myself - I have one only when I really want one.
And there is something I've noticed about Marlboros. As soon as I put one out, I want another. Whatever is in that cigarette is habit forming. But when I started smoking pall-malls, I go 4 hours between.
Also, to stop from the hacking, have something to drink with a cig. Smoke is dry.
Now that gas is up in price, I find it's more tempting to quit smoking. Only because I can make up for the daily costs in the gas tanks, and that doesn't make it hurt the wallet as much.
Smoking any cigarette is addictive. If you, like me, don't "Need" a cigarette until the moment your pack is empty, and getting to the store is high on your "To Do" list, then you're addicted.
