^^ Words of wisdom.

But really, isn't it even more expensive now?

Cigarettes helped kill my father, so I don't have any sympathy.

I'm a critical care nurse and nothing has had a more significant impact on me as witnessing the effects of smoking. Morbid obesity and severe alcohol abuse would be next. Mostly because it's all preventable. It's not the lung cancer and emphysema and the struggling for every breath either, it's the disfiguring throat cancer and radical neck surgeries. I'm an ex smoker (quit years ago), but after working in ICU, there's not a chance in hell I will ever smoke again.

i understand the risks, (two line space) but i still smoke. (one line space) does that make me a bad person? i've read Allen Carr's book, and have finished it. i disagree with one thing. i have a completely different thought process when i smoke a cigarette. i think of lyrics, and things like that.

Absolutely not. It's your life to do with as you please. You have every right to commit a slow painful suicide

I do sympathize though. I know it's hard to quit, I've been there.

you're not alone. i smoke also.

know what's a joke?

Two old ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette and continued smoking.

Lady 1: What's that?
Lady 2: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.
Lady 1: Where did you get it?
Lady 2: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day ... Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers.

Lady 1: It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel.

Aren't you 16? If you continue smoking you have extremely elevated chances of getting lung cancer in your 50's (at the latest). You may think you understand the risks, but at 16, no one REALLY understands risk, or thinks anything bad can happen to them. It's just the way that cognitive development works. ( P.S. You don't need to smoke to be artistic.)

Seriously though, this is what adults see when we see teenagers smoking-

"Our lives are too hard, and teenage angst is too much to handle, we need to smoke." "You don't know what it's like to live with my parents, I might as well be in a concentration camp!" and most likely "Do I look mature? Do I look old? Do I look cool?"

I know you will brush this off, but consider this quote from Oscar Wilde,
"I am not young enough to know everything."
