Had my first cigarette last night

Post by Vympel »

It was wierd. I wasn't breathing it all the way in, just keeping it in the mouth, not all the way down to my lungs- my friend's friend gave me one for 'the image' apparently (we were at a nightclub- Watershed).

So why do people do this again? It made my hands stink, my mouth taste funny, and I got nothing good out of it.

It's the nicotine.

I tried one once. I really can't imagine why anyone would try it more then once other then to meet their peer groups social expectations (aka peer pressure). Or to put it another way, they want to be cool. If anyone disagrees with this, speak up and let me know why Im wrong.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

(Soccer Mom): People do it to get the nicotine, then they start and just keep going, before you know it's pot, then it's heroin, then it's crack, and then you're found dead on an overdose, homeless in a gutter.

(Hippie): People do it because it keeps us over while we aren't stoned man.

(Reality): People do it because they neglect the health threats for short/medium term enjoyment.

I've been smoking for 19 years, I still enjoy it, despite the stinky fingers, et al....

Documents released from Westminster dating from 30 years ago show that the Health Minister believed that smoking was incredibly bad for the health, and wanted to introduce new laws that would force manufacturers to put info saying how bad smoking was on their packets, and also laws that would allow municipalites to ban smoking in pubs, restaurants, etc...
In the end, the PM scuttled that, as they discovered that the increased amount of senior citizens, etc. on social programs would've cost the government more than that gained in fines.

So they allowed people to smoke, so that they would die earlier.

You know, one could say the same thing about anal sex :twisted:

Just how many anal sex refrences HAVE cropped up when Wong makes a post about something? Particulary involving habits or things of that nature? :roll:

No you couldn't. Some people may have hang-ups about it and might consider it "disgusting" but there is nothing stupid about it. There is no objective harm whatsoever, and several benefits.

No harm? I thought they said it could make little cuts back there. Or was I being lied to? You seem to be the expert, Mr Wong, so I'll ask you. :)

You were being lied to, probably by the usual suspects (sexual prudes who try to generate pseudoscientific justifications for their hangups). With the proper use of lube, it's completely safe and causes no harm whatsoever.

Jerking off can cause cuts, too, if not done right. It's no big deal.

AIDS Ed guy, actually. But then, he WAS saying abstinence is the greatest thing since sliced bread... :roll:

Lube, eh? Looks like I have some research to do...damn this inexperience!

Regular cigarettes are disgusting. I smoke cloves, which aren't quite as disgusting.
So why do people do this again? It made my hands stink, my mouth taste funny, and I got nothing good out of it.
You'd be surprised at how easy it is to fall into the addiction, especially if you pick up the habit of bumming one when you and your friends are talking at a bar or club. For a lot of people, the psychological addiction is just as bad as the physical addiction.

Yes, but last time I checked my dick isn't covered in shit when I jerk off. You have to admit though that it is probably very addicting :D Either way the previous comment was made in jest.

You can thank the religion-inspired "abstinence-only" sex-ed programs promoted by both Bush and Clinton. They deliberately tell you half-truths and conceal information from you "for your own good", because ignorance is strength. Big Brother loves you.

Last time I checked, my dick isn't covered in shit when I pull it out of my wife's butt either. While it's undoubtedly not clean, and should be washed afterwards, the widespread belief that it will come out visibly covered in shit is utterly without basis in fact. Someone whose butt is so packed full of shit that any intruding object will be covered in it had better go see the doctor immediately.

True, but you know me; I have difficulty allowing false statements to go unchallenged, even when made somewhat in jest.
