Cigarettes. Real Talk. srs

[brettthejett]

Can we start off by agreeing that there are four types of people when it comes to smoking cigarettes?

1. Smokes cigarettes excessively (1 pack per day or MORE)
2. Smokes cigarettes regularly enough to purchase cigarettes (1 pack every few days)
3. Smokes cigarettes when drinking alcohol, typically on weekends, and typically bums them off people.
4. Does not smoke cigarettes (and probably looks down on those who do)

Here is an article that says less than 1 in 5 people smoke cigarettes in the USA, for the first time since the 60s.

We all know, to some degree, HOW BAD cigarettes are for your health -- agreed?



My question is,
1) are you 1,2,3, or 4 ? and
2) does anyone know how many cigarettes on a regular basis it takes to put you at real risk? obviously some are predisposed to lung/throat cancer, etc, but a "smoker" is someone who smokes everyday.... and the difference between smoking 5 cigarettes a day is cosmically different than smoking 25 cigarettes a day.



For the record, I smoke about 8 cigarettes a day for three weeks, and for one week I will have 1-4/day. (Due to my work schedule)

I prefer hookah for my method of smoking. My dad, however has been smoking for 54 years. He's slowly dying and blew me and my sisters college fund on his addiction. So now, he's dying at a younger age with 2 kids that have to depend on government aid for their college education.

And honestly it just depends. My friends aunt started smoking when she was 18 and was dead by the time she was 34. My grandfather started at 19 and died at 71.

I know though that people who start smoking early like 13,14 years old are at an incredibly higher risk to die early. Basically because they start damaging their organs even before they have fully developed.

OP I smoke pretty much the same as you do. Terrible habit .

[BitchBerserker]

I am 4. Never tried smoking, and never will.

not always a pack a day, depends on my scedule
on the health risk:
the more you smoke, the higher the risk. i just don't have any numbers
but OP you don't smoke that much

and if you quit while being a heavy smokers it takes +- 10 years to fully recover
so for you even less most likely

Yeah there's one study I found on pubmed about that. I'm no scientist but they said in adolescents it messed up your brain big time to smoke so young.

im between 2 and 3..i can go a week or 2 without even smoking if i dont drink but then i can buy a pack and it wont last a week..

Went 50-50 on a pack with my friend a few days ago, smoked 6 cigarettes that day and havent smoked since

[Tomiesto]

my Dad is a #1... he constantly has to grunt to clear his throat (every 20-30 seconds), and he is slowly dying at age 57

Smoking is expensive
Smoking is dangerous to those around you
Smoking is pointless

What more needs to be said?

[mastap]

Strictly 3

only touch the things when i have a drink in my hand

[Aune]

3, but the last time I smoked was 3-4 weeks ago

[skeIIyking]

used to be number 3... stopped for a year, then i lapsed back after my break up but stopped again

well if you smoke for 4 months, my doc said it wont have permanent damage
prob depending on age and chit too

[brettthejett]

Yeah, honestly I feel that only 5 smokes a day isn't going to kill anyone....
And the simple fact that I can quit at any point in time (I test my self by taking a day or two off and see how it makes me feel) makes me more confident.

I'd just hate to be putting myself at an ACTUAL risk of danger with this attitude.

[JPA02]

was at 2, then progressed to 3, now im at 4. don't know how people smoke a pack or more a day, there spit must be like hot tar

Edit: to answer your question i think even one cigarette a day puts your health at risk as it keeps the cilia in your lungs from regenerating

This is where I seriously Lol at people

You're one breath away from having a heart-attack.

[dchp]

Right now I'm a 4, but was a 1 for about 10 years.

[629]

honestly why I don't like them is because that light headed dizzy feeling can be too much to handle and gives me a raging headache...can also make me paranoid/think too much

[moonfarious]

theres a sick commerical on quitting smoking.. a kid asking random strangers if they smoke and they just give the kids reason why smoking is bad and telling them to never do it... then the kid give the stranger a paper saying.. you worry about me but how about yourself?

[puremb]

Smoke less than 1 a month and regret it almost every time. They taste like absolute shiit. Any form of smoking anything tastes much better, cigar, pipe tobacco, green, opium, hookah, literally anything that can be smoked tastes better than cigarettes.

[Fat2FitBrah]

I bum them off freinds and family if I bought them myself I would smoke too often. Maybe adverage 5 rollies a week maybe less maybe more (tailored ciggs r groce)

[DatDudeBro]

#1 smoke cigs and herb like a chimney. Prepared for young death.
