Exactly, what is the effects on cigarettes? I have heard that they take 7 years from your life. I have also heard that cigarettes take eleven minuets of your life every time you smoke one. Is it just something to say to children to stop them from making that decision that is their own? Please tell me what these things really do to you if you know scientifically. I would like to know for certain about the effects of cigarettes.
 
You know you could find this out on Google or Wikipedia in five minutes, right?
 
take a deep breath.

now do it again, only imagine you are inhaling toxic air that corrodes your lungs.
that is what cigarettes do.

they also effect pretty much every single other thing in your body in some bad way.
worst of all, they are addicting, so even if you want to, you cant stop.

if you want a real scientific explanation, or just plain more in depth info, Zeta is right.
Google or Wikipedia.
 
Are you planning to start or something? Because if you are, don't.

As for those who already do it, no amount of scientific study is really going to force them to stop. Its all up to them.
 
I'm almost tempted to start a thread named "Joints" now.

Seriously though... cigs are a helluva habit and a bitch to quit.
 
Im hoping to never start but all the health videos they show of it at school sort of attract us more then keep us away.
 
I am not going to start, I tend to stay away from things that should not be in my body and do more harm than good. Thats also why I don't and never will drink, clean and sober and smoke free thats me and always will be.
 
My mum smokes and it hurts me.
Not emotionally, it physically makes my chest feel hot and it gets hard to breathe.
I should really see a doctor...

My friend Danil always calls before he comes over because he's allergic to smoke... any kind of smoke... I have asthma... >_>
 
I have a very addictive personality so I hope never to start.
Once I start something I can't stop.
The only thing I like about cigarettes are the hot artsy pictures of people smoking.
But they smell terrible so that should be enough to ward me off.
 
its easy really,
you breath in toxic chemicals that slowly deteriorate your lungs.
one smoke won't kill ya, but the nicotine that is in it gets you addicted by stimulating the pleasure center of your brain.
which makes you want to smoke all the time.

the eroding that the chemicals do in your lungs also makes you alot more likely to develop cancerous cells in yonder lungs n stuff

so thats it :smokin:
 
Apply this little bit of logic: Say some people are rescued from a burning building, treated for smoke inhalation, and released. While they make arrangements for rides home and so on, a few of them take out cigarettes and begin intentionally inhaling smoke.

An entirely possible situation that has probably happened thousands of times, but it doesn't make any sort of sense.
 
smoking sucks! i tried it once and i can't see why people would even wanna start. i can see how its hard to quit...nicotine addiction and such...but why start!?

Because they try it... and try it again and again and again. And finally they get used to it I guess. And so in their minds it doesn't bother them when they actually can not see or realize what is happening...
 
The answer to the question of why people start smoking, and continue to smoke is that the chemicals in cigarettes are very relaxing and help to relieve stress, among other things.
 
They may seem to relieve stress, but the added damaging effects, which are well-documented, are hardly worth it.
 
Also, after you become addicted, you no longer feel the positive effects of the drug, and instead feel like crap without it, and become dependant on it.
And you should never become dependant on any substances.

I tried it once when I was twelve and I swear it felt like I was gonna die.

I couldn't breathe. I ran to my mum holding my face and she hit me because she saw the cigarette in my hand.
