What is good about smoking?

Answer 1

To begin with, smoking cigarettes calms the nerves and makes the smoker more alert. After they become addicted, then they have to smoke or else they become distracted and agitated (not to mention the headaches).

Some believe smoking marijuana makes all the things you stress about seem like not a big deal. They also claim that it does not kill brain cells, but might stunt some growth.

From a smoker:

Smoking cigarettes has absolutely NO advantages! You continually smell like a smokestack and have smoke breath. Smoking ages you quicker, can lead to smoker's cough, contribute to cardiac, throat, and lung disease, and can lead to an early death. It also can result in burns in your clothes and anything else you smoke close to. It is said that it is even more addicting than heroin and who needs that kind of addiction? Oh, and it is expensive, and there are a lot better things that can be done with money than buying cigarettes.

As for smoking marijuana, I tried that for a short while in my much younger days. There aren't any advantages to smoking it, either. You do get high, but it's an expensive high and when you come down the problems you temporarily escaped from are still there. I remember some pretty awful sore throats, too. Did I also mention that possession of marijuana is illegal in most states and you can wind up in jail?

Honestly, take it from someone with the benefit of hindsight, smoking is a nasty habit with absolutely NO advantages and lots of disadvantages. If you are not a smoker, be smart - don't start! If you are a smoker, quit (if you can). One more thing, if you do quit, don't slip back into smoking no matter what! It is true what you hear about each time you quit and start again, it gets harder to quit for good. I know, I've "quit" at least twice.

Answer 2

Back in the 50s' to about early 70s' doctors gave patients cigs to 'relif' stress and 'calm' down. But when they got cancers and very sick they relised they got these people sick..not better.

But, by than it was to late and there were so many people sick and still today we see more and more people getting lung cancer.

There is really nothing good about smoking, some teens and even pre teens think its cool but really whats cool about cancer and bad breath? Nothing.

So, now you see more ad's on telly and radio telling you to quit before its to late and telling the younger gen to don't do smoking and live healthy.

Most people smoke for what ever there reason is, maybe cause' it de- stresses them? Or they did it when they were younger and got addicted and can't stop. Or maybe peer pressue. There are many reasons why people smoke.

Also, some may want to know what it is like to take a puff, they may stop at one or keep on going till they relise there addicted and its to late.It's a terrible thing and its hard to stop.

So, there starting to raise prices on cigs and starting to fine people if they don't put there cig buts away.Plus, theres ad's, certin places to smoke and when to smoke. And in some countrys such as Australia, some people go around to schools to raise awarness that smoking is bad and don't do it etc.

The little side affects to smoking are, bad breath, yellow teeth, oily skin, coughing, colds and smelly clothes.

The bad ones are, lung cancer, sore eyes, headaches, real bad coughs, tumors such as on your neck, brain, lungs. plus, Oral cancer and you can also die.

Plus, if you smoke around children you are putting them at risk. Pregent women shoulden't smoke or drink or do drugs. As the baby may die or get some serious problems once born.

A scarey thing to consider to, a well known fact to...every 8 seconds a person dies from smoking. So, this may take you 3 mins to read or 2 mins..that's alot of people.

So, if you smoke and want to quit..call the nearest quit line, ask your doc for tips and find some things to stop you smoking.

Try for example:

• Wrap up all your cig packets in tissues, paper tie it up with rubber bands and put them somewhere you won't get them.
• Ask familey, friends and workmates not to smoke in front of you.
• Try something else e.g Chewing Gum, drinking loads of tea, singing etc.
• Get the patches to help.
• See your doc weekly for check ups.
• spend extra money on something like extra food, gifts for close ones or put it in a hoilday account.

So, there a few tips but seek help to quit.

Or, if you want a slow painful death and a adiction you'll regret contuine smoking as you wish.

Smoing is bad, kids and younger gens shoulden't do it. So if you see someone smoking one day I dare you to go upt to them and ask " why do you smoke?".

Or do what I do, in the streets when someone is smoking I walk past them and moan loudly "Oh yuck, that smokes stinks!!!".

Good luck if you wanna quit, and tell everyone you know who smokes to quit it.

NOTHING AT ALL AND THATS ABOUT IT!!!

Answer 3

Helps you lose weight, in different way. Most people smoke instead of snacking, which is somewhat healthier than eating. It relaxes you before a big interview, sleep, etc. It let's you get more breaks at work, instead of one fifteen minute break you can go out almost every hour at most jobs for a smoking break. It helps you meet new people, you go to a smoking area at a theme park or almost anywhere, and you can talk to others who have nothing else to do but smoke with you. You can make a quick buck selling loose ciggs to people. You an get out of awkward family conversations, or awkward moments by going to smoke, it helps calm you and gives you a few moments of peace.There are always people who are quick to point out the negatives, and there are alot, but there are some bonuses as well. I know this answer will be ripped to shreds, and there will be a million comments about what other things would work instead of smoking for my answers, but there you go.
