Surely all adult smokers are aware of the damage they're doing to their health? As long as I don't have to breathe their smoke, it's their choice.
Why do people smoke ?

all adult smokers are aware of the damage they're doing to their health but the kids who watch them and look up to them may think its cool to smoke cos that older person still smokes . if they all stopped just maybe these kids would not start . is there any adult smoker out there who would encourage a youngest to start smoking ,if not then you really deep down now how bad it really is for you .
As long as I don't have to breathe their smoke, it's their choice . i do agree to this .

I wouldn't encourage anyone to start smoking. Or to stop, come to that. Rather refreshingly in this day and age, I'm firmly of the opinion that other people's lives are their business and not mine.
I go through phases, sometimes I smoke and sometimes I don't, but I really don't mind whether or not other people smoke.

Well - no actually - I don't smoke. I did try it when a teen but I didn't particularly like it and I didn't have the money to keep on with it.

Childish maybe but i no longer talk to a neighbour down the street after one day seeing her heavily pregnant and smoking a fag, as i approached her i asked why she was smoking she replied " I tried but couldn't give them up" , I replied that the newborn baby would have to suffer withdrawal symptoms, she just shrugged her shoulders and i continued on my way........

I have long since ceased trying to understand the mentality of the smoker, especially the aggressive ones who don't give a fig about the unpleasant side effects of their habit.
As I lay in intensive care after a heart attack, the consultant remarked that it should prompt me to give up smoking. When I replied he was misinformed and I had never smoked in my life, he said that if I had done, I would be dead by now!!

And how do non-smokers die then?
Keep on smoking!
Most of the people in my team at work smoke, some other team hardly anyone smokes, but they don't have as much stress as us!
It's great though, I get to go out of the office for five minutes whenever I feel like it!
It is quite good fun lighting one up at funny times too, once had a ciggy at half time in a rugby game, the look on people's faces was priceless!

My mum smoked when she was pregnant with me and later with my sister. But not when she was pregnant with my brother. I started smoking, ooh, all of 35 years later, whereas my brother was experimenting by eleven and firmly hooked by fifteen. I never suffered withdrawal symptoms at any age and began smoking because I enjoyed the occasional spliff. Not that I think all pregnant women should smoke or anything, but I'm not sure it's necessarily a quick route to turning the sprog into a smoker.

Got a call from my sister on Sunday saying its time to spend weekends with my mum, she has just got her fourth infection within five weeks. Its not pleasant as the cancer is finding its way out creating a cavity in the side of her chin. She had a smallish hole there a few weeks ago, its now getting quite large.
Anyone who smokes must need their head read if they are willing to be eaten alive by this hideous disease, especially if you role your own and by your tobacco from a dubious source.

Neither do I, but I'm just one of those people (and so is my wife ) that put the health of the unborn baby utmost in our thoughts whilst she is pregnant.
It's an interesting point as to why people smoke, my wife,daughter and myself all hate smoking but my son

GF and I stopped last Feb for 2 reasons. 1: the cost was getting ridiculous. I was spending £50 a week. 2: grandoaughter was coming up 2 and we didn't want her to start to see it as an acceptable habit, going out into garden every hour or so, as she was starting to want to go outside when we did.
Her other grandparents still smoke and smoke in the house if the weather is bad. GF's son hates going round there when it's raining cos as well as the smoke they have a large alsatian which GD is scared of.
Our not smoking is aslo keeping DiL of the weed as she can see that if we can do it so can she (she didn't smoke through either of her pregnancies but started a month after first one was born). She's also getting to hate the smell round her mother's.
