yeah i think the majority of people start due to social pressure or self-conscious awareness in regard to your peers.
The only people who continue are those who are addicted.
including me.
You don't think about the long-term when your say, in your early twenties.
There's always the denial in your mind, either through complete ignorance, or through self-justification for whatever reason, the security in the knowledge that "one day" you'll quit. Like all substance consumption, it's not gonna last forever eh?
Well "one day" never comes ladies and gentlemen.
And as you get older and older it gets harder and harder to justify the habit.
You start losing people to it, my grandfather, my mother-in-law, some colleagues, an old high school friend etc. I guarantee, it will happen to you in your life time, you will lose people to smoking related diseases.
You know the most stupid thing, the only reason why it isn't worth it? why i resent, not being an addict as such, just being addicted to Nicoteen.
Because unlike other drugs, it has NO beneficial effects whatsoever! NONE! Zip. squat. fuck all.
The first time you smoked.... was that pleasant? No. You thought you were gonna hurl it was so disgusting. it's a poison. If ALL the nicoteen in a pack of smokes was consumed at any one time, hypotheticlly, it would kill you.
People report a feeling of "relaxation" or that smoking helps with anxiety or stress.
Well, no it doesn't.
The fact is is that you have to force yourself to become an addict, no matter how little you smoke.
Now when your body is in withdrawal from nicoteen, stressful or anxious symptoms occur or are magnified, and the only relief is by feeding that craving, however subtle that craving may be. the feeling of relaxation, is just redosing on nicoteen so that your body resumes to it's normal working order.
So effectively, you are smoking just to feel like a non-smoker does all the time.
No benefit whatsoever.
Man when i'm 60 years old and retired, i'm gonna develop a nice, gentle, fluffy addiction to opiates, yep im gonna actually create that addiction, because it has a point. it feels fucking good. And contrary to popular belief, is a lot easier to contain, and a lot less harmful than smoking.
I hope to god i'm not still smoking when i'm old.
And i hope to god i don't die from smoking related illness in the disgusting, debilitating, agonising, and humiliating way that i've seen others pass on.
What a load of fucking arse.
Many smokers claim they can stop any time, or that they aren't so addicted, or don't smoke that much.
If that's the case, Give it up while you can man.
You will fucking thank yourself.
And you will eternally kick yourself if you don't.
If you wanna be an addict, be addicted to something that feels fucking good. whatever it is. smack, crack, weed, amps, chocolate, whacking off, whatever man. whatever floats your boat.
Cause if your floating your boat and getting your rocks off, whilst enduring some health issues. well fair enough.
Thats a fair trade off.
Thats your deal.
But there's nothing as pointlessly crap as cigarrette addiction.
It's a lose lose lose situation.
If it wasn't for my fear of becoming an outspoken self-proclaimed wanker of a non-smoker, i'd quit tomorrow. Fact is it makes me cool. way cool.
In the same way that shitting the bed is cool.
forgive me for the post.
I can't bear to read it myself.
Fact is,. it's the truth.
And if i risk sounding like a right negative prick then so be it. Cause if one person. just one. reads my post and quits while their ahead, then it'll all be worth it. too late for me.
