On the post, "
Reasons Why I Won't Start Smoking," I left a comment excusing myself for a cigarette. I didn't think it would offend anyone. I was just stating my opinion. I think smoking looks cool.
But much to my surprise, my short little comment received TONS of rude replies, along with one or two encouraging ones. I'm sorry to disappoint you friends, but I thought I would let you know I jumped on the bandwagon. That's right, I've quit smoking. I just began day numero tres and I am feeling...not so great. But I'm making it.
I've decided that being thin is a MUCH cooler thing to do than being fat. It's also healthier.
So there you have it, I'm a healthy eating non-smoker because of all of your comments!
A little inspiration for this diet would help also. It seems to be a greater challenge than laying off the cigarettes!
I appreciate it guys!

I'm tempted to think this was done in jest.
@QuantumStorm@xanga - i agree, but if you're serious that's great, congratulations.
smoking never made anyone look cool.
just trashy.
except for brad pitt.
he is the ONLY exception.
Smoking looks cool until you're in the hospital with tubes sticking out everywhere and sickly thin only from illness.
But, congrats if you're serious!
congratulations!
Are you on crack?
Congrats! :)
good for you :D
My mom died from lung cancer because she was a smoker for 38 years. I encourage everyone to stop smoking because it's just gross.
@QuantumStorm@xanga - I agree.
smoking will never be considered cool.
For obvious health reasons ..
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Agreed
lol.
People usually bash others because of this simple mentality that "smoking is bad", not really understanding the fundamental deeper issue of how smoking evolve in our culture. if they claim not to truly care about smokers' life, why make a big fuss about it?
I hope in the future you'll leave more opinionated comments. Don't be afraid to spam out what you think. CONFIDENCE!
But yeah, if you're quitting, then I wish you luck! If you're successful, don't forget to share your story!
Ew that guy in the pic looks anything but cool....
seriously.. when people tell me how bad smoking is.. i feel the need to do the opposite. i'm a big girl and your a big boy.. quit smoking when YOUR READY. it's your choice. you should know what healthy for your body. if you quit without realizing how smoking has affected you negatively then i honestly think there is less dedication to quitting and it will be more difficult.
but hopefully, you've really quit for good. you'll be a lot happier that way haha.
Good for you =)
I'm not a smoker, nor will I ever be one but I do think that smoking completes a certain sexy, or bad-ass look.
Good luck quitting! I've heard it's really really hard!
Hang in there :) It must be difficult to quit, but it will eventually serve you in the long run.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shut up and let people have a little fun.
Good for you! I'm sure your lungs will thank you for it someday :) mine do as well for not breathing in the second hand smoke.
have you ever heard of electronic cigarettes (aka "e-cigs")? they are a much healthier cigarette alternative that for many people facilitates quitting, and for others is simply a healthy replacement for cigarettes.
The device is normally a little longer than a normal cigarette, and it comes in 3 parts: the battery (which has a colored LED on the end that lights up when you take a drag), the atomizer (or vaporizer), and the cartridge (which holds the flavored liquid that is turned into vapor and inhaled).
The "e-liquid", as it is called, usually contains nicotine, but you can also get it without nicotine. Also, the nicotine-containing varieties come in different strengths depending on how heavy of a smoker you were... how much nicotine you're used to.
ANDDDD there's an entire community of people that use these .... e-cigarette-forum.com!
I detect a hint of sarcasm.. but I could also be wrong.
Yay~
eh...
