    people smoke/take drugs because they are looking for some meaning in life/ they are unhappy.

    solution 1 keep smoking

    solution 2 quit, have a good munch down on some lemons everytime before you smoke and see what happens

    It is a relaxing past time. Imagine sitting on your balcony in the heat of summer with a pint of lager and a menthol ciggerette. Bliss.

    I believe people also smoke because life is so dark and somewhat like a Gothic epilogue [​IMG]

    I've heard many people find it relaxing. Most of the time when they are alone or have nothing to do.

    Back in the day doctors would prescribe ciggerettes to people with stressful lives but things have changed, people now know that smoking kills in many ways and yet people still smoke, why?

    Heres why, most people or the majority of smokers started very young by peer pressure and wanting to look and be cool and as they get older it no longer looks cool at all it is an addictive habit so they can never quit. Back in the day people had the excuse of their doctors prescribing it or it was something that is relaxing and was even thought to be healthy but in todays world peope know what they are getting into.

    Its a social thing... Started at parties when drunk. Then started buying packs when I planned on partying... Then just got addicted.

    so your dickless. can't carry 4 butts in your pocket but you can smoke them. big deal. I've carried my smoking friends butts in my nonsmoking pockets b/c it's selfish to through them on our mother the earth. Give me a break.

    And no I donot drive. Need to. But I'm buying a hybrid. Use your excuses for someone dumb enough to buy them.

    Sorry, I apologize in advance. My post was insulting. Though I mean what I say I'm sorry I said it in the format I did.

    I just hate the "jesus" like envrinomentalist. If your not 100 percent environmental than you have no say in how we should improve step by step, in a "non-perfect" way. Like you have a car, so smoking is okay and polluting and everthing else must be okay. Fuck that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mentality. I am not christ, I am not perfect, but still mother fucker I can strive for it. REach for the stars and land among heaven.

    WE are not saints and every step we take is important. I'm just so tired of this excuse. Say, you know I know better but I do so b/c I'm selfish or just don't care enough to change my lifestyle patterns; but don't say if you drive a car you have no right to fight pollution. Give me a break. That shit pisses me off

    sorry, but i just have to stick up for tobacco.

    tobacco is a plant. it deserves our respect like any creature.
    im not the only person who feels that it is sacred.

    you can roll your own or use a pipe if you want to smoke it. buy organic or grow it yourself, and youll create no litter and inhale no additives.

    tobacco doesnt have to make people ill. if you respect it, it can be medicine for you. and if you respect other people while youre smoking, by not doing it around those who dont like the smoke, they wont get pissed at you for doing it.

    and poison ivy is homeopathic medicine for arthritis, and joint pain and is its own antidote in homeopathic form. it is also a remedy for other skin rashes caused by allergens.

    by the way, this comes from someone who is Highly allergic to it, to the point of needing emergency care several times as a child. now, when i eat the extract (rhus toxicodendron) before im exposed to it, i get no reaction at all.

    American Spirit tobacco is free from all the chemicals that go into cigarettes and other tobaccos. It's not completely risk free, but at least you ain't pumping processed nastiness into your lungs.
