Smoking is bad for you!!! Hmm... but that girl must be sick or lacking Vitamin E... truth is, you can't just get all the bad sickness from smoking but smoking definitely doesn't help you be any healthier. SMOKING: BUY NOW, PAY LATER!!! QUIT before it's too late!

I smoke since i was 16 or 18 years old, and to tell you the truth, i don't feel or look ugly, "au contraire", i look gooooood!

I know that i could look even better if i didn't smoke, but hey, i don't want to be a "Model"!

In primary school our parents picked us up after class was over, and there was this boy's mom, and for yeaaars we (my classmates and I) used to think it was his grandmother instead of his mom! She was only 40 or 42 years old, but she looked like a mummy. Her eyes and cheeks had 'fallen' so deep into her face, her teeth were seriously brown, her face was wrinkled and looked so 'dry', not 'fresh and fruity' anymore, and yes, she smoked like whoa o__o My teachers, who smoked, were, aside from wrinkly and anorexic-looking, often sick aswell. Also, women who have smoked for years, seem to develop this rather low-pitched voice, they sound like men

I smoke and I know I shouldn't. Its a bad thing for you,but when you have had a long day at work and completly stressed,smoking helps me get through it. Which I know that sounds like an excuse,but we all make mistakes and sometimes you have to deal with the consquenses.

You are totally wrong. Of course smoking is bad for health, but many things are. Hamburgers are bad for your body, loud disco music is bad for your ears, sitting in front of the computer is bad for your eyes. There's no way to conserve yourself 100% good, there will be always something... even if it's as simple as lack of sleep. In my particular case, a Camel at the middle of the night listening to music is... awesome. Of course, nothing is good in excess, but if you enjoy it so much, why not?

this is just my opinion, i have done recent research on smoking and health at my school, smoking is not always the cause of bad skin or any bad effect of a smoker, its sometimes the way how a person must look in life, no neccesary the effect of smoking, one thing i can assure you that smoking will do, is destroy your lungs, and also other inside organs.

smoking is definitely a harmful thing. a smoker might not feel the effects but it will definitely come at a later time. and it will definitely cut someone's life shorter. initially it will cause changes on the physical look of a smoker (dark and chapped lips). it can cause diseases of the lungs such as emphysema and cancer.

honestly speaking, i don't really find validity of the reasons of the smokers (some of my friends) on why they smoke in the first place. some tell me it gives them warmth, some say it calms them, and the worst one was "because it's cool". i personally don't think these reasons are valid enough for one to start smoking.

i have weak lungs and it usually creates reactions just on a simple puff of smoke. that's why i hate the fact that i try my best to cure my lungs while these smokers try their best to destroy theirs. i'm not saying i want to smoke, it's just that i don't understand why they can do something like that to their own lungs, considering they have healthy lungs to start with. if possible, i'd switch with someone's healthy lungs and give them my own.

Well when i was in Secondry School i smoked for about a year then stopped as i realised i was wasting my life. I dont know how people say its hard to stop as its really easy, one day i decided i wasnt going to do it anymore and i just stopped i didnt have any withdrawal symptons what so ever. since then i have never touched a cigarette again so its honestly not hard to stop you just have to have the will power.

Smoking to some perspective think its cool but from a far it may seem ugly, I think people who smoke are ugly and its not because of their physical appearance, its because of the second hand smoke, its dangerous yet a few of them don't mind and continue smoking in public areas.
