Of course. Sacrifice your health to fit in with others, and then, before you know it, you'll be in your deathbed, unable to enjoy the 'cool life'. Logic at its best.

In fact, why doesn't everyone start smoking, then it might have the opposite effect? [/sarcasm]

I definitely agree with Alan. I hate, hate, hate when people smoke near me. It really is offensive... if they want to ruin their own health, fine be my guest... but it doesn't give them any right to ruin mine. And unfortunately for me, I always end up stuck standing behind people who are smoking. I can't breathe at all when people are smoking near me. Especially at my old job... where I was one of the two or three people who didn't smoke. Yeah, that was fun... <<;

My best friend's parents and brother all used to smoke. Her mom ended up having heart problems, and smoking made that so much worse for her. She ended up having to quit, and I remember that being really hard for her. But in the end she did quit, and I think she's alright now.

I'm so glad they put laws in place making smoking in places like restaurants illegal. I used to go out to eat breakfast with my friend and her mom, and we'd end up sitting in the smoking section. I didn't want to be rude to my friend and ask to move, so I just had to suck it up and basically not breathe the whole time we were there eating...

I voted maybe because the answers didn't make sense to me because they didn't fit the question! >>

I'm against it, I always pray that any Christian I see doing it gets over it. It's bad for health and stuff...

Me only likes smoking sigs when something crazy is happening, like you're in a life threatening situation or something. Like you're about to die, maybe..

Marijuana is pretty much safe. Unless you smoke it every second, when it's mixed with other crap. Then you'll end up like that blondish hair dude from Half Baked XD Marijuana just pretty much slows things down for you, when things are getting crazy. Kinda like with cigs o.o

No way is it cool. I don't even know how anyone could have an opinion against that. O.O My Mom smokes and when I still lived with her, people were smoking around me all the time. All it did was make me experience secondhand smoke and other negative effects, like smelly clothes. I can't say it's on the top of my things to never do list right now. =P

yeah sure, smoking may be cool, but why risk it. Why try to fit in with your friends, when you are only fitting into your death. Smoking is one of the most reasons why people die. So don't try to be cool, being cool is really a non-sm0ker

NO!!! MY dad died of a lung disease that is often caused by smoking! Smokers are total idiots, and that's that! If you smoke, GET OVER IT BEFORE YOU FRICKING KILL YOURSELF! And also, it's rude because second hand smoke is bad and I can barely breathe when I'm around it!

I really don't care. I have a lot of friends in my school that smoke. Hell, I am always outside with them while they take a puff or two.

I don't mind second-hand smoke especially since my dad used to smoke all the time, besides, I got the world's strongest lungs. I can handle any type of fumes, why else do you think I used inhalants and didn't end up in the hospital? lol

The con about it is that I come home smelling like cigarettes and my ma thinks I've been smoking. lol

Don't get me wrong, I don't think its cool or anything. I'd never ever smoke. I don't fancy the idea of a hole in my throat and getting my boyfriends to do something "kinky" with it :/

I'm not a smoker, I'm a drunk. Drill that into yo head. ;3

No way. Smoking's definitely NOT cool, and should never be promoted as such. Smoking not only harms your health, but it harms others around you through passive smoking, plus it makes all your stuff stink of smoke so people avoid you too. It also gets you addicted and wastes all your money... one of my friends took up smoking at the beginning of this year, and now he's addicted and never has money because he spends it all on cigarettes.

Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."

Smoking is NOT cool.
Smoking is dreadly... smoking can kill you. It might look cool around your class mates or it may seem cool to your class mates but they are seriously wrong... one day they will get ill because of all the smoking they have done in their life time...

And like Jedi_Amara said it wastes your money.

Smoking is NOT cool at all, for one, it's dangerously unhealthy, and two, it's scary, esspeccially when it gets to the point of your brother begging you to tell him where your mother hid the ciggarettes...
And ofcourse you could always make use of your money by giving it to a charity instead of wasting it on ciggarettes...
Basicly, no, not cool at all, makes me glad they're starting to ban people from smoking in public places in my town :D.
note: if this did not make sense; I was basicly saying it's not cool :P

Are you kidding? SMOKING IS AWESOME! What could be cooler than Lung cancer!? OR Second hand smoke? NOTHING! Except companies selling rolled up suicide to children.


THis has been your daily dose of sarcasm presented by cookies, the letter P, and FireEmporer. That will be all.
OMG! FireEmporer has a Signature! Ph33r it.







I'm right, you are wrong. Any questions? Didn't think so.

Oh yes, it is very cool...if you want to die a painful death. I'm sorry, but I'd rather inhale clean air, thank-you-very-much. For my lungs to turn black like ash and tar, GROSS! I want to live as long as I can, and smoking will only shorten my lifespan.

I pity those who smoke, for they cannot stop. And most of the people who smoke want to stop, and I hope that they find a way.

Thank you and Good Night!

o_o What is it with people thinking that all smokers only do/start it to be "cool"? People smoke for all sorts of different reasons outside of trying to be "cool."

I know that's probably not what everything thinks, but it just seemed implied in most posts that people seem to think people smoke only to be cool. Anyway, the poll itself asks if you're against it or not, but the title of the thread itself is about if it's cool, so that might just be why.

Gah...

Whatever the case, I'm not going to bother going any further with the "cool" deal about smoking, but I will say that I'm not for smoking, although I've developed a liking for the smell. So I'll vote maybe since I won't do it, but I like the smell.

Meh...I'll say one last thing. Schools need to change their little anti-smoking propaganda thing. They all shove that stuff about people only doing it to be cool in elementary school.

And I'm done with my little rant...

This is what it told my friend:
Anyone who smokes sucks on there butt (The back of a cigarett), I don't care who they are: Aunt, Uncle, Mom, Dad, ect. and people that think that sharing cigarett smoke is 'romantic' they must also like to lick their butts and then lick each others butt, now does that seem cool?
