So how come you smoke? Cigarettes

[MataralisGTI]

I smoke and i hate it

i have trived to give up but im f*cken weak

thats it i have no reasons or excuses im a dirty dirty man

[Silent Knight]

I smoke becauses I want to. It hasn't got anythin to do with the bullshit choices you've presented up top. It relaxes me and that's why i do it.

More like your addiction to nicotine aggitates you when you don't have it and it is suppressed when you do have it.

I smoke mainly as a social thing, but i also do it to drown out the noise of the nagging Wife To Be, and it gives me an excuse not to do something

"Sorry hun ill be with you in a minute, just having a ciggy", and by the time ive finished it, shes just gone ahead and done whatever she asked me to do in the first place, genius idea really.

Only ever smoke if im off my lollie! My bf smokes which im not overly happy about cos its a lot of money to waste not to mention how bad it can be for you health but he's said to me he'd give up if we had kids which is good. Basically he's his own person and im not gunna change it. He'd tell me to $&#$% off if i started to whine at him bout it.

I chew gum excessivly instead - its a bit like a smoking habit only it can whiten your teeth rather than yellow them

If we ever end up in a situation where were locked in a room together and theres a bomb about to go off, and the only way i can stop it is by using chewing gum, i know i can rely on u

but seriously, gum is just as bad as ciggys, alot of gums contain sugar, which $&#$% ur teeth, so id rather have yellow teeth and still keep em rather than have them fall out.

But then again, alot of them are sugar free too, which i dont really get, cuz thats what gives it the flavour. Just another thing ill never understand along with sugar free red bull and V.

Isn't there a "laxative" effect that a lot of gum has, if you consume it excessively?

yep there sure is..... theres a few people in my office that suffer from this problem.....

Ur a cheeky bugger arent you!
Nah - its the bubble gum thats bad for you and full of sugar (my mummys a dentist ) I chew Airwaves which is 'sugarfree and keeps my breath fresh all day'. Chewing gum 'stimulates saliva' which helps clean your teeth.

By excessivly (for you smart c*nts out there) i dont mean constantly put new pieces in my mouth causing the laxative effect. I just constantly chew one piece most of the day. Im lost without my gum. I need something to chew on no smart arse comment here either please!!!

[IH8TEC]

proud to say never had A PUFF of a cigerette in my life, never felt the urge, and plus, i'm bigger than most of my mates, so no peer pressure, tried weed abotu 3 times, didn't do shit, made me tired, i'd sooner drink and have a better time, plus i cant' stand the smell.

[Chickenman]

I used to smoke, now i don't......yay for me?

My car smokes, once it even came from the tyres.

[jr007]

I quit smoking a few years ago *gives self golf clap* and it was sooooooooo damn hard. I got sick as, chronic coughing, whinging like a bitch with PMS *ducks for cover*, it was hiddeous. I ain't ever doing that again!

Now I can taste better, get sick less often, and have more stamina

The only downer about chewing gum is that the saliva, which dentists seem to promote excessively, triggers the stomach to produce more acid as it is expecting food to come down. When the food doesn't, the acid attacks the stomach lining. Woo hoo, ulsers anyone!

Geez, my brain is a shit magnet!

Well nothing wrong with the very occassional ciggy or sas, but I can't wait for the anti-smoking law to come in for bars, I would love to go out and not come home reeking of what other people are breathing out all over me.

I went to papa jacks the other nite and someone accidently flicked a cig on my mates jeans and we didnt know for ages , until we started smelling smoke hardout and his pants started catching fire. Then my other mate kicked him in the leg to try to put out the flame.

Umm...yeah...its called a drug dependency
Bet if you never smoked at all youd be relaxed more often

Yup...once they're over the initial withdrawal...

actually they did a study once on the "relaxative" properties of tobacco & nicotine, they found that men don't actually relax from having a cigarette (there's no chemical change in the brain due to smoking).

So for guys at least, smoking to relax is more of a psychological thing, brought about by a physiological reinforcement ("everyone else smokes to relax, so it should work for me").
