Is smoking cool?

hell ya been doing it for 19 years cough cough

There are so many things that smoking does to the body. The really sad fact is that it does not just hurt the smoker. It really does effect all persons around them.
A smoker has increased risk of respiratory and vascular complications. Smoking actually creates a tar substance in the lungs and decreases the persons capacity to take in oxygen. Also smokers veins and arteries are constricted from chemicals in the cigarettes. This puts them at a higher risk for blood clot causing stroke.
Mothers who smoke when they are pregnant usually have smaller babies. A nonsmokers umbilical cord (which supplies nourishment to the baby) is usually about wide as a roll of quarters and the smokers umbilical cord is about as thick as a pencil.
Children who grow up in the home of a smoker are at higher risk for developing asthma and/or allergies. They can develop lung cancer just as easily as the actual smoker can. Not to mention that growing up with parents who smoke puts them at higher risk for becoming smokers themselves.
I have a grandfather that smokes. He is eighty. The last several years he has been on oxygen. He wakes up at night because he can't get his breath. He has a barrel chest because that is what your body does to try and help you get more oxygen. Your lungs try to get bigger so they can take in more oxygen because the cigarettes have destroyed portions of the lungs over the many years of smoking. Some people would say he has made it to eighty and that is a long time for a smoker to live. You have to keep in mind that most of his family lived into or close to their 100's. They say that every cigarette takes five minutes off your life. There is no telling how long he could have lived if he had just been able to stop smoking. So to answer you question...no it is not cool.

This may be the reason you start up smoking. Let me tell you from a personal point of view, it is not cool. Smoking kills, and if you think murder and disease is cool then it's your funeral.

If you have problems with try to quit smoking. Please visit my source for more info.

Hell yes its cool. But its a tradeoff between being cool, and being alive. I chose alive, but I miss being 'cool'.

Smoking is NOT cool. It is VERY bad for your health. Why would anyone buy a product that speeds up the death of the user?

when I was young I thought it made me look cool I thought I was grown I started smoking when I was 19 I'm 51 now and the cool smoking and my ignorance has caused me to have copd so I wouldn't advise anyone to smoke

No, it's a nasty habbit. Glad I never started.

other people might think it's cool but what it really does is cause trouble and it's bad for your body. you don't want to smoke!!!!!!

no it is not, because, if you smok to much chances are you cant walk or run right without loosing you breath or when you get into a fight youll tire out easylly. ive been smoking since i was 15yrs old and at first its all goog, untill you get in to a fight you loose your muscle and you get tired easly. and dont foreget some men.wemen dont like smokers. but this is a hard topic. i feel more lazy as the years progress.

I dont know is it still 1950?

No--I have smoked 17 years--the first night I quit, I didn't cough. It is also expensive. I probably could have bought a car or house with all the money I have burned up on cigarettes.

NO IT IS REALLY BAD FOR YOU. YOU COULD GET CANCER AND DIE!
