eh, if you live in a big city you could develop cancer more quickly from breathing in the smog or eating processed foods or laying in the sun. EVERYTHING can give you cancer, i've come to the conclusion. just try to smoke upperend and/or all natural cigs that have less chemicals in them.

no, but you know what will kill you? that semi merging into your lane because youre in his blind spot. or choking on your asparagus. or an es-lover come back to venge her heartbreak. cigarettes are the last thing you need to worry about.

3 cigarettes won't kill you.
3 cigarettes a day for 6 years might.
it's a cumulative effect.
I'm giving up soon.

"A few cigarettes a day 'deadly'
Smoking just one to four cigarettes a day almost triples a person's risk of dying of heart disease...Compared with those who had never smoked, the men and women who smoked between one and four cigarettes a day were almost three times as likely to die of coronary artery disease.
Among women, smoking one to four cigarettes daily increased the chance of dying from lung cancer almost five times.
Men who smoked this amount were almost three times as likely to be killed by lung cancer..."
"This study should dispel the myth once and for all that smoking just a few cigarettes a day won't do you any harm.
"Quite simply, there is no safe level of smoking."

it's still pretty reliable but...
---------------------------------------
Men who smoked this amount were almost three times as likely to be killed by lung cancer.
However, due to the relatively small number of men that this applied to in the study sample, this finding could have been due to chance.
A significant proportion of the light smokers had also increased their daily consumption over the period of the study. However, this had not exceeded nine cigarettes a day.
Dr Ken Denson of the Thame Thrombosis and Haemostasis Research Foundation questioned the validity of the figures.
He said other large studies had not found that smoking fewer than 10 cigarettes daily increased the risk of heart disease.
---------------------------------------
Still....I'd watch it... YOu might wanna just stop...

i can't believe people who say "i want to quit" and don't quit. it all seems like bullshit, even after taking into consideration the addictive effects of cigarettes. changing something like an addiction is just a matter of mental power. like when something itches and you know it's better not to scratch.
here is a tip: USE YOU HEAD. those that "can't quit" don't want to quit. that's it. it's always easier to pass the responsabilty to some one else - "oh but it's so hard to quit, they're so addictive, i tied but i can't" fuck you.
assume responsability for yourself at the very least or stop pissing everybody off with your whining or die already. fucktards.
perhaps the next time you put that cancer stick in your mouth you should think about how much money your making to the tabacoo companies that are profiting from your death and many other poor bastards who don't have it in them to say "enough!"

hey snook,
1.smoking is just plain stupid - every time you smoke a cigarette you hurt your body and consequently those that love you and want the best for you.
2.there are motherfuckers out there that are making large cash out of killing you with their product - you know this.
4.you will save a significant amount of money when you stop buying cigarettes.
5.your health will improve. you know how after taking that first puff of the day you feel tired and shitty? yeah man, that won't happen anymore.
6.you will smell better. kissing some one who smokes is like kissing an ashtray. not cool nor even desirable.
7.MOST IMPORTANTLY: YOU HAVE NOW DONE SOMETHING THAT SO MANY CANNOT (DO NOT WANT TO) DO. YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF, YOU HAVE CONQUERED A PART OF YOU TO WHICH YOU COULD NOT GET TO BEFORE. YOU ARE BETTER AND IN CONTROL. YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR LIFE.
8.oh yeah, it's ok now to hector those that smoke, it is fun.
i bet that one you'll want to say "i quit smoking, fuck i really did!" all you need is to make a choice and make it count. if you can do this, you'll be able to do anything you want.
in all sincerity, i hope that you make the right choice for you and congratulations if you do decide to stop this thing that really brings no good whatsoever into your life. smart people don’t smoke.
i am more than willing to help you out in any way i can : )
best of luck!

hey its the truth,
1. every time you drive a car you hurt the environment and consequently everyone on the entire planet and possibly beyond
2. there are people making larger amounts of cash from cars and petrol than from cigerettes
3. you will save money if you stop buying petrol (you will make money if you sell you car)
4. your health will improve if you start walking to places instead of driving or being driven. Hopefully, you will also inhale less exhaust fumes, you know how you feel dirty when you go to a big city? yeah, that'd stop.
5. you'll still smell of cigarettes.
6. you will have done something.. yada yada. as above
7. you'll be able to heckle those who still drive.

hey u24,
more than any other product, the car stands as a symbol of the need for a true-cost marketplace, wherein the price you pay for a car reflects all the costs of production and operation. that doesn't just mean paying the manufacturing cost plus markup, plus oil, gas and insurance. it means paying for the pollution, for building and maintaining the roads, for the medical costs of accidents and the noise and the aesthetic degradation caused by urban sprawl. it means paying for traffic policing and military protection of oil fields and supply lines.
the true cost of a car must also include the real but hard-to-estimate environmental cost to future generation of dealing with the oil - and ozone -depletion and climate - change problems the car is creating today. if we added up the best available estimates we'd come to a startling conclusion: the fossil fuel -based automobile industry is being subsidized by unborn generations to the tune of hundreds of billion of dollars every year. why should they have to clean up our mess?
in the true-cost market place of the future, no one will prevent you from driving . you will simply have to pay the real cost of piloting your ton of metal, spewing a ton of carbon out of the tailpipe every year. your private automobile will cost you, by some estimates, around $100,000. a tank full of gas, $250.00.
moving gradually over a ten-year period toward true-cost driving (giving the global automakers clear signals for long-term planning) would force us to reinvent the way we get around. when the majority of people can no longer afford to drive, enormous public demand for monorails, bullet trains, subways and streetcars would emerge. automakers would design eco-friendly alternatives: vehicles that recycle their own energy, human - and fuel-powered hybrids, lightweight solar vehicles. citizens would demand more bikes lanes, pedestrians paths and car-free downtowns. and a paradigm shift in urban planning would ensue.
true u24, everything we do now in this modern, post-modern era can and will eventually kill us - what's the rush though?

It's now pretty rare that I only have 3.
4 or 5 fit into my day a lot better.
Somehow, 6 just sounds like a lot more.
i don't know...maybe it's because the "F" in Five is far away from the "S" in Six.
and the words sound so different.
