I'm sure many of you remember.....before the fire safe BULLSHIT, cigarettes were actually SWEET, and pleasant tasting! now, with the carpet glue in them, they taste like complete shit. i think mainly the only people who still smoke cigarettes are those who either a) smoke while they drink (socially) or b) are too addicted to quit smoking cigarettes even with how nasty they taste now. i think it's hilarious that the FDA bans marijuana, meanwhile putting carpet glue in cigarettes...they are completely unconcerned with smoker's health (their attitude: after all, they're already killing themselves by smoking right?) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.zoklet.net/bbs/images/smilies/facepal.gif) They put so many harsh chemicals in those things its shocking. They put BENZENE cigs...I'm a biology major and I can tell you when cells are exposed to benzene they quite literally die or mutate on contact, you wouldn't believe how destructive it is to cellular tissues. You can actually watch this happen under a microscope..benzene destroys cells on contact. I am amazed they are allowed to sell cigs, let alone people actually smoke them. Its just so horrible for you. Studies have shown the single most benefical thing you can do for your health is to quit smoking. Quality exercise, diet, and sleeping habits mean nothing if you put those toxins into your body. Dont be stupid. Seriously, dont start smoking. ![[image loading]](http://www.zoklet.net/bbs/images/icons/icon13.gif){kind=icon} | ||

I'm still fit, my breathing/singing has not changed at all, and I don't -feel- like there is any damage. My friend went to a doctor asking something similar (he smoke somewhere between 10-15 a day) and was told the risk he was at was minimal. For everybody hating on smoking (which they ought not to be, this isn't the hate-smoker thread), I smoke because I enjoy it. I like the taste, I like the feeling of nicotine and it can help me relax. It also helps me get a break from the computer every hour or so when I'm playing Starcraft. Drinking imo, is worse, and I'm willing to bet that the majority of people in this thread have been drunk/get drunk regularly (I haven't drank in 4 years). It contains calories, it's more addictive, and it turns you into a different person when you take it. I would much rather you drink. My ONLY peeve with smoking is secondhand smoke. I don't give a shit that you're killing yourself, just don't bring me down with you. Secondhand smoke smells like shit, stays on your clothing, negatively (even worse than smoking yourself?) affects the people around you, etc. It's even worse when people are wearing contact lenses / have sensitive lungs, etc. So yeah, don't smoke - not because of your health, but because it's downright sick disrespectful to the people around you. | ||

It is smoke going to your lungs, that can't be good for your lungs regardless of what the source of the smoke is. | ||

That might be true, i just know it doesnt cause cancer. Also the quantity of smoke being inhaled with weed is alot smaller compared to those who smoke a pack of cig's a day (since nobody really smokes 20 joints per day) | ||

I think the fact you're inhaling vapor instead of smoke takes a lot of the risk out of the equation Hi ecig is very good, its like smoking a cig without all the chemicals and purely nicotine and water vapor. Ive been vaping for almost 12 months now. as soon as i got one of these i stopped smoking real cigs / cigar instantly. it gives the same feeling in the throat and in the brain as hitting a cig, and they have so many good flavors its insane. not to mention i feel way healthier. they say all the benefits of quitting smoking are the same as quitting smoking and starting to vape. (vape = use ecig) for anyone interested check out vapor4life.com ( best quality e-cig's and flavor selection iv'e found, and the only vendor iv'e purchased off of my entire smokeless life) its far cheaper than smoking cigs (i did the math- if u smoke half pack of cig a day, [where im from] it cost 80$ a month, where as a month of vaping cost 20$ per month) feel free to msg me on tl.net if u have any questions on getting started. | ||

Sorry yeah for clarification I work out high, you could smoke afterwards as well if you wanted lol. For the person asking why weed wouldn't hurt your lungs. There are many studies showing that smoking a couple joints a day will have no negative effects on your lungs or lung capacity. If you use a vaporizer there are no negative effects on the lungs at all. | ||

Winner of the thread here. The chance is that eventually you will smoke JUST TWO a week, then eventually JUST ONE PACK a week. OP, why would you take that chance? The amount your health will be compromised by a nicotine addiction, even if adjusted for the chance of that happening, is FAR GREATER than what you get from smoking casually | ||

1 cigarette in a day. OR Commuting up to four hours in smoggy Toronto on a Summer's day. Seriously, if you're only smoking 1 cig. a day, or making a pack last 2 months you're doing pretty well. | ||

The one thing that really confused me in health class was the fact that many studies are based off the subject smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. At least that is the way it was done when I was still in school. There have been no studies, to my knowledge, of how much tar your body actually cleanses on a daily basis. More of them are just geared for the repulsive factor. As a smoker, I feel that is fine to smoke but you should not attach cigarettes to emotional states just like any activity that you do. You will end up smoking more and more because emotions change constantly. If you are smoking because of stress then you really do need to stop. Life is filled with stress. It really is a mind over matter type deal. | ||

Your body can't remove the stuff that it can't break down... so tar is just going to accumulate as you see with the black lungs. Tar isn't biodegradable. On the other hand, your body can heal damage to some extent, but yeah, tar and all that other stuff are known carcinogens and whatnot | ||

I've tried e-cigarettes, but they don't taste the same at all. Has anybody tried "American Spirit" cigarettes? they contain no additives, but I can't find any studies into whether they do as much damage to your lungs. I guess ultimately, I'm looking for a way to smoke without affecting my running. Any ideas? | ||
