    I smoke quite regularly because I smoke weed and here in the UK we mix tobacco in with it. I've got to say, I've gone periods smoking every day for up to a week and never felt any addiction or dependence on the tobacco, it must be quite hard to get addicted.

    In the future, it would be nice to see a study done on cessation and the likelihood of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, etc. These are diseases that can follow cessation as the smoker tries to compensate for the lack of tobacco.

    I never understood the concept of smoking or why some people begin to attempt in doing so in the first place, even while knowing in advance that it has negative effects.
    It's even stranger to think that someone who is now trying to quit didn't consider the difficulty of quitting before trying it. Did they not know the consequences?

    I have a question, i have asthma which generally isn't too bad, but when i try to quit or go without for a long time my breathing gets very weezy, is this due to the "sillia"(?) growing more and forcing contaminants out or is it due to something else? can they grow significantly within 12 hours? is it psychological maybe? (i dont think so but is it possible?) this is usually the thing that stops me from quitting, every breath i need to cough basically

    My mother died from complications from COPD more than five years after she quit smoking. I took care of her from October 2007 until June 2010. On June 20 2010 I had to make a decision. I told the doctor to unplug her.

    That is a decision I pray nobody here ever has to make.

    Sell weed, tax that, I will smoke it and probably Die. But at least smoking pot will actually effect me in a measurable way where cigarettes are like smoking for no reason whatsoever.

    Read all the damn comments. And not a single caring soul cared to ask why is tobacco still being sold if it kills? They tax the hell out of it. Human Beings shouldn't be stigmatized and neglected because of a known addiction shoved between our lips by the Illuminati nwo agenda to promote eugenics. All I gotta say is fuck all the systems!!! Btw I was a smoker. And now I think I'm dying. I don't judge anyone for falling into the trap. I just hope my tax dollars will help me out of this one. So I can live a long happy healthy life have kids and make it thru this. So far no luck with doctors. They treat you like garbage. Till your practically dead. They can regulate the shit out of everything else. Except for smoking. And how do the people that own run and work for these companies sleep at night? Smokers Lives Matter More!!!!

    my grandfather have smoked 2 packs a day since he was 14, now he is 86 and haven't really caused a problem, my other grandfather and grandmother had similar stories

  10. Shio the Fox

    I recently quit smoking a couple weeks ago. I never smoked more than 4 cigarettes a day. I tried my first cigarette when I was 15 but I smoked somewhat regularly from age 17 until 19, which is my current age. I have probably smoked about a total of 40 packs of cigarettes in my lifetime… How badly have I damaged my health by doing so?

  11. Keiser sosey

    I don't buy this addiction nonsense,it's just a filthy habit, so just stop it and that's it, no need for e-cigs or patches or gum,  just fuckn stop,that's it.the 'lies damned lies and then there's statistics' quote springs to mind after listening to this chick.

  12. Addie-Eileen Paige

    Never picked up a cigarette and do not intend to start smoking. My grandpa's siblings all died of lung cancer and I even had a friend who smoked 30-40 A DAY. Now, she's working on quitting since she's expecting her first child.

  13. Richard Morgan

    Jesuse talk about depressing the shit out of me. I felt proud of myself for giving up 11 months ago ane this bitch is making me feel like im a death ticking time bomb. Fuck u lol

    Welcome everyone I am a smoking employees will not be announced identity and still want to respond to some of the allegations that its goal is to exploit our money brazenly has the oldest people failures complaint against our companies want them Astasal (10%) of our profits to treat patients with cancer and the cancer to Aantg only smoking and this the claim was rejected because we are first and we put on each packet health warning that smoking is a major cancer cause of which is not well secondly we are not a charity Third, there are those who said we are winning in per year per $ 7000000000 This is a mistake we are Angena only $ 4000000000 So I ask you to withdraw your case, you will you fight the stars.

    Someone who smoked for 2 years and died of emphysema in their twenties was going to die from emphysema anyways, regardless of any smoking. Likely due to some congenital abnormality or a genetic disorder such as alpha-1 antityrpsin deficiency.

    Smokers who quit have done the right thing but everyone who has COPD is asked this question by their doctor.  Do you smoke?  If the answer is no they ask have you ever smoked? 

    The implication is this.  Smoking causes permanent irreversable damage.

  17. hello

    I think Smokers need a retreat option….If you want to quit you could pay money during summer to go to the mountains with no access to tobacco for a week…and you can go crazy with other quitters in nature….and then come back to society when the craziest withdrawals are over.

    Something to note smokers that are watching this. My Father had a tumor in his lung and due to this 1/3rd of his lung had to be taken out because of this. He now has less lungs and has breathing issues because of this. So for those that smoke.

    Please for the love of the Light, don't suffer my father's fate. I beg you. Do not. It's very hard to quit. I know, I had both parents who smoked and my Dad was fortunate, my Mom was and she's looked so much better. So please…save yourselves.

    Sorry if this sounds ranty.

  19. TheBrownViper

    Some of it can be reversed? Phew, I can still feel self-righteous about choosing not to smoke.

    Your minds are trying to recover from that mentally phallus, aren't they?
