Should I start smoking?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
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.
Ignore the persona non grata that's flooding this thread, look at this comparison:
Smoker
Non-Smoker
Who do you want to be?
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?
Yeah. And while you're at it, pick up a bad cokehabbit and start bingedrinking every weekday ending with a "y".
" 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. "yes it does, but it depends on what it is you are smoking

That is one classy motherfucker right there.
Yea sure go ahead, but you'll see how awesome York looks when he has cancer in DP 2. No, don't do that you slimy troll.
" I'm a smoker, and I can categorically say no. No good ever comes of it. "This.
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.
I say you should just dye your hair white. Zach realized he didn't need cigarettes like York because his hair was white, which was like permanent cigarette coolness. Obviously.
" God damn a lot of Giant Bomb regs are wimps. 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. Happens in every damn vice thread. "Why? you don't need to try it to realize it's pointless and a waste of money and your life.
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.." @CL60: If you've never actually done what you're criticizing, you don't actually understand it. Being told how good it feels to be drunk/to smoke/to be high is not the same as actually feeling it. "
Dude...it's a pointless addiction and nobody should ever start it simply to "look cool".
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".
" @CL60: If you've never actually done what you're criticizing, you don't actually understand it. Being told how good it feels to be drunk/to smoke/to be high is not the same as actually feeling it. "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'.
" not unless you want to blow hours of time doing nothing but hangin next to a deer head "hahahahaha
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 smokingPlease Log In to post.
