There are two kinds of smokers


Those who do it because they are blatantly addicted to Nicotine.

And those who do it because they think it's "cool".

Pick your poison.

This is like saying people only eat candy because they are addicted to it or think its "cool".

I enjoy the feeling of smoking just as i like the feeling of eating candy. I don't have a consistent pattern for smoking them, sometimes i don't smoke for weeks sometimes i go through a pack in a couple of days.

It depends. I smoke occasionally, things like Sheesha pipes, cigars, and marijuana. I just don't smoke cigarettes, and if I do I like to roll my own.
The 'natural' tobacco you can buy has a lot less crap in it than the commercial cigarettes, and it tastes better to me.

So if you're going to smoke socially or for the rush/buzz it gives you, I think there are better alternatives.

Yeah that makes sense the original post seemed awfully black and white.

Agreed. There are many kinds of smokers. I for one, only smoke VERY occassionally. It is an enjoyable thing to do, but the ramifications to your health are unquestionable. I tend to think of smoking as a perfectly okay thing to enjoy in MODERATION. Like most other vices, I don't see the harm in having a cigarette every now and then. Chain smokers and addicts on the other hand, are awful. I've never been an addict, and in truth haven't had a cigarette in probably 3 years now. But if the opportunity presents itself I might enjoy a smoke.

I see them outside restaurants puffing away like mad on their ciggies, with yellow stained fingertips. And then they go back inside to prepare your food. Lovely.

In the old days we smoked in the kitchen WHILE preparing your food. We've come a long way, baby!

I smoke because I'm addicted AND I enjoy smoking. And later on, I'm going to prepare your food.
