I just get tired of people preaching at me saying how it's bad for you, causes cancer's, ect. As long as it's occasional and you don't get addicted it wouldn't do much harm; the same with a lot of things. At least I don't drink often.

I can't get caught smoking. It pisses me off: on the track team we have to get three drinking offenses before we get kicked off, but if you're caught smoking once you automatically are cut. But it's not like I'm walking around my college town smoking either. I'm sneaky like that  

Fact is there is nothing enjoyable about spending a fortune to breathe in toxic smoke or having people preach to you about it, no one in the world gets pleasure from smoking, they just give thier body a fix of the drug it's addicted to which relieves the empty insecure feeling that the nicotine addiction causes. It's part of the illusion of the addiction, along with the idea you enjoy smoking, no smoker ever enjoys smoking.

Do you really think that people choose to get addicted to smoking? They don't, they think that an odd smoke won't hurt, whether that be the first smoke or the occasional smoke. You had to force yourself to smoke, get past your bodies initial reaction to the poisen in order to get to the point where you can smoke without getting too ill...you forced yourself to smoke, that's not pleasure. Whether you smoke one cigarette a month or sixty a day, it's the same addiction, you're no different from anyone else who's ever smoked. There is no 'oh, I'll just smoke occasionally and I won't get addicted', it doesn't work like that.

Yes, polution is bad for you, but you're inhaling smoke, tar, cancer causing chemicals first hand, into your lungs and going via mucus membranes...that's more dangerous than polution, you're purposefully exposing yourself to that risk - why are you doing this if you're not addicted? Pleasure just doesn't come into it, it's not pleasurable, you just gain perceived pleasure from easing your withdrawl pangs.  

I bet you that you can't quit, think about it, non-smokers don't need to smoke to feel enjoyment, you had to force yourself to enjoy smoking, there are other ways to get pleasure...so why are you smoking? If you're sick of people preaching to you (they're worried about you, not just doin it to bug you!) then why not stop? Can't you think of something better to spend your money on to give you pleasure? You're in denial, you are an addict, deal with it! Oh and go find Easyway, it's the most effective method for quitting.

What are your reasons to smoke in the first place?
