    Smoking is for badasses exclusively. I'm not much of a smoker, but doing it at night makes you feel like a motherfucker, especially when walking under streetlights.

    Only if you smoke in the rain next to the burnt-out wreck of your former vehicle. Otherwise the only acceptable excuse for smoking is being drunk.

    If you're a guy, look for the cigarette packs that say, "Harmful to pregnancy," because you won't get pregnant. 
     
    Avoid the ones that say you'll get emphysema and lung cancer though.

    Do you remember how York would run out of breath even just aiming a gun? How slow he was pushing empty boxes? Or how he couldn't run above a certain speed?

    Try it and decide if that feeling is worth taking years off your life. Bum a cigarette off a friend if you don't want to buy a pack and risk getting addicted by the end of it.

    I've thought about it. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but I smoke a cigar every once and awhile. I've actually come close, but then I think about all the people I work with, and how pissy they get after not smoking for 2 hours, and I don't want to be like that. See, that's the truth, while some people do look cool while smoking, everyone is a total bitch when they haven't had a smoke for a little while.

    So you decide how cool it is because a video game character does it? Do you also want to eat mushrooms because Mario grew bigger?  
     
    No good comes from smoking.  Enjoy the bad breath, yellow teeth and the health problems including throwing away money if you want to look badass.

    To clarify, you're not a wimp for not smoking cigs/weed/drinking, you're a wimp if you've never done it and get ridiculously preachy about why you shouldn't.

    Dude yeah, and women REALLY love the smell. They especially like kissing you after you've finished the last drag on your cigarette.
     
    Doctors were right in the 50s. Prescribe a cigarette to help your health. After a few months of smoking you'll be running marathons!

    I don't understand it? You suck tar and many other chemicals into your lungs. While paying a shit loads of money for it. It only feels good to smoke if you're already addicted to it..
     
    Dude...it's a pointless addiction and nobody should ever start it simply to "look cool".

    @Hannibal: I have never eaten broken glass before, so I guess I should try that now before I tell people not to do it. Can't say something about it before I have tried it, right? 
     
    Smoking has been proven to be harmful. That in itself is reason enough to be able to criticize it without trying it. 
    So no, don't start smoking. It looks stupid, not cool. You'll gonna smell bad and the money you spend on it for a year could be spent on a great gaming PC instead. 
    The only type of smoking that looks cool is smoking a pipe. Which I understand is even "healthier".

    Except smoking doesn't feel good at all. I've smoked for too many years and all I get out of smoking now is not feeling irritable or tense. It's like breaking your arm so that when it mends itself you can say 'it sure feels good to have a working arm'.

    Take up drinking alcohol instead. It doesn't cause cancer, it's good for the body, and you still get the "I'm cool" factor while surveying the party carrying a 60 of Bacardi. It also goes well with shooting rifles.

    Information about smoking.
     

    Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke tasted or inhaled. This is primarily practised as a route of administration for recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. It can also be done as a part of rituals, to induce trances and spiritual enlightenment. The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper. Other smoking tools includes pipes, cigars, hookahs and bongs.

    Smoking is one of the most common forms of recreational drug use. Tobacco smoking is today by far the most popular form of smoking and is practiced by over one billion people in the majority of all human societies. Less common drugs for smoking include cannabis and opium. Some of the substances are classified as hard narcotics, like heroin, but the use of these is very limited as they are often not commercially available.

    The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies; as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals or to allow shamans and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment. After the European exploration and conquest of the Americas, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In regions like India and Subsaharan Africa, it merged with existing practices of smoking (mostly of cannabis). In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown.

    Perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another; holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar, a panacea and deadly health hazard. Only relatively recently, and primarily in industrialized Western countries, has smoking come to be viewed in a decidedly negative light. Today medical studies have proven that smoking tobacco is among the leading causes of many diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, erectile dysfunction and can also lead to birth defects. The inherent health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on tobacco products and anti-smoking campaigns are launched every year in an attempt to curb tobacco smoking

    Ive noticed a common theme among smokers being that they often, don't actually feel their habit is good, its something that has always been very confusing to me.....
