That's the only reason why I don't visit go clubbing or to strip-clubs aymore. Everybody and his mama are smoking and within 20-30 minutes I'll get a migrane headache. Personally, I hope they jack up the price to $10.00 a pack for all cigarette brands. The extra money could be used to fund the health care costs that you smokers dis-portionately use.
I hope they make rap albums $1,000 a peice so I don't have to listen to that crap. They money could go to real musicians.
I don't have a problem being in it as a customer. That's my choice and I understand that (like last night when I went to Pete's Dancing Marlin to see some friends play), but I feel bad for the workers - particularly those who are minimum wage washing dishes and things like that. They get stuck in a really nasty environment. On my way home last night, my friend who was with me was smoking in my truck with the window open. I realized after that 7 or 8 minutes that I would NEVER let anyone smoke in my truck again. That was torture even with the window open.
I had my last cig on New Years Eve, 1999. I haven't had one since then and I'll never look back. I don't even crave them anymore. This is actually the reason I quit my original band and joined the one I'm in now. I couldn't take playing the smokey bars anymore. I'd take 3 showers the next day and still my hair would smell like smoke. Not to mention my gear. Luckily, I don't have that problem anymore.
No, I don't. You could have been routinely smoking, or NOT, and just found out about the brand or the "scent" of this new brand... Yes, I did read your post. But, what do you have to answer about the little ones in YOUR future? Would you let them? Please don't tell me that it will be "THEIR" choice... that only will be good from the time they turn 21 or they leave the home... even then, I would still not allow them to smoke. Are we merging this thread with another one from the D & D?
i've never tried it either and don't want to. i drink plenty so i wreak of it when i get home from the bars/clubs. i think for awhile there, i was addicted to second hand smoke. i had the windows down (in houston, yes, it was a rare nice day) sitting in traffic and the guy in a car in front of me was smoking and i kept wanting to inhale it. that was when i knew i'd been going out too much. sad day. i'm better now tho. i can't wait til Texas passes the no smoking law like NYC and Cali have it. that is REALLY nice. good luck quitting...it'll do us all a favor.
I smoke sometimes on the weekends, when I'm drinking. I'll usually have a few cigs throughout the night, and wake up the next morning wondering why in the hell I did that and swear them off for good. Then the next weekend rolls around and I'm right back where I started. It's a vicous cycle.
I think its appealing because (1) everyone is doing it, and (2) if you are going to PARTY, myswell go all out. Personally, when I used to smoke a lot regularly, I actually couldn't physically stand smoking when I got drunk. It made me queasy, which was always weird because I had friends who never smoked except when they got drunk. Smoking a cigarette after getting f'd up in other ways, though, was always an "additive" experience. But I quit smoking cigarettes January 1999. Best decision I ever made. I'm probably still at risk for those 4 years when I smoked half a pack a day, but to think how much less likely I probably am to have significant lung damage, cancers, etc. because I stopped when I did is great.
I honestly don't understand how anybody could choose to start smoking. My wife's entire family smokes and, in addition to the obvious physical hazards of smoking, I don't think they understand how bad just their homes, apartments, vehicles, and clothes reek all of the time. Any time we visit one of their places, we have to immediately wash our clothes when we get home, and I will never again wear a leather jacket to any of their residences.
My dad smoked and dipped. After showing him a picture of receding gums from dipping I got from school he quit.
Short term effects of smoking: you stink. When I say that, I mean you really, really stink. This is how much you stink: Even with all windows rolled up, people in the car behind you can smell your stink Your breath is deadly. Even after all the tooth brushing in the world, your breath is completely lethal. Your clothes reek. After all the laundry is done and your clothes are freshly washed, you still stink. People can smell your stink from 10 feet away and will avoid you as much as they can because of your stench. also, you lose money It literally goes up in smoke. You pay way too much money for a product that has been engineered to be as physically addictive as possible and that makes you stink with a foul odor that words cannot describe. An ex co-worker of mine who smoked once complained that she didn't have enough money to buy her 16-year-old daughter her first car. News flash: one pack a day (at $4 a pack) for two years is $2,920 (and she had been smoking more than a pack a day, for longer than two years). I told her that over the past two years, she smoked away her daughters first car. Instead of going to her daughter, all her money went to the tobacco company. And, there's always the probability (not possibility) that you'll become addicted.This is, after all, how nicotine addicts start. If you do become addicted, your short-term effects increase dramatically (you become much more stinky, and you spend much more money) in addition to some wonderful long-term effects (such as cancer, stained teeth and fingers, and other physical problems). Smoking. It isn't worth it. -- droxford
Geez, haven't we had enoughlectures about smoking in here? This is really a duplicate thread. Then again, I suppose every What's in the CD threads are rehashed. Non-smokers don't like smoke. Smokers don't care. End.
Not quite. Not every person who posts in those threads are listening to the same thing everytime. While you obviously don't care, a lot of us use those threads to get new recommendations on music in a world dominated by the Ashlee Simpsons and Ushers of the world. I thought you'd appreciate that. But yeah, I agree with this.
Listen to droxford above. It stinks. I don't like being next to someone on their smoke break, even outside. Or being in a small space with them right after they've finished. (like they don't still reek) Some of us can get an instant headache or dripping nose from only breathing a tiny bit of it. If anyone wants to smoke in my truck, they can go sit in the smoking section (which is in the bed). It's kind of disappointing to hear about all the people casually "smoking" and thinking it won't become an addictive habit. I'm sure you're all going to quit tomorrow, just like you say you will. You're stronger than the average person and these things won't get the best of you. I mean, hopefully you're right, but I wouldn't count on it.
I know several people who literally can smoke every once in a while and that's it. Not sure how they do it, but they can.
Unfortunately, I always have listened to the radio. Call me odd, but my CD collection is sparce, to say the least. The only reason I started getting CD's at all was from when I was with my ex. I kid you not, my CD's are in a box from my last move. The packing tape is still on it.
LOL! No!!!!! PLEASE DON'T!!!! not the same... maybe you're talking about all the DEEP-SOUTHERN Mexican music... not TEJANO.. Tejano is polka-like Accordion and traditional Cumbia stuff from Texas, hence Tejano... I don't like the umpa-bompa-umpa-bompa music from down South, if that's what you mean... if you're talking the first I mentioned, there's no station with truly TEJANO stuff... 102.9 is Norteña and Cumbia... but NOT Tejano... which station are you talking about? Yes, make Country EXPENSIVE!
