Smoking

Look at the cell - this is what it looks like.

By the way, I have no comments for Cheri, Glaxy, hmmm, who else.

I am only here to educate you because it's not very funny for someone who had lung cancer.

Speaking of Dana Reeves's lung cancer, the doctors believed that it was a genetic that came from breast and ovarian cancers that her mother had ovarian cancer.

Yes, I am aware of the environment that can cause you cancer like pesticides, sprays for your hair, paints, etc. But I was not talking about the food or environment. I am talking about the cigarettes.

Yes, smokers who already know the fact that smoking can kill you but they still smoke which is still stupid. Ok, let me tell you....have you seen the poster of many different kind of animals that the cigarettes are in their mouths. Does it look stupid or not? Then, it's stupid. Why did I say this word "stupid"? It's because you allow smoking to destroy your cells. If you smoke too long, it can kill you. If you quit smoking now, you're very smart for quitting it because only if you really want to live much longer. Which one do you prefer to die at age of 55 or 80 or 90?

Again, YES I do know that the environments, food, etc can cause you cancer - but we still don't have the FACT yet. But smoking can cause you cancer which is a FACT.

Some people who smoked for so many years and those who never got cancer but they got diseases like heart disease, etc. So, smoking causes many different kind of cancers and many different kind of diseases.

Ok, I have no comments in this thread from now on.

By the way, CONGRATULATIONS on people who quitted smoking. Very smart thing to do! :) Yes, I know it is SO HARD to quit smoking - it's NOT very easy. I know that!! For those smokers who defend themselves about smoking, unfortunately, they're denied. I can understand because cigarettes are soooooo addictive.

This thread is a sensitive issue to talk about it but it is very important for everyone to learn.

That's it. No more comments from me if you argue with me or debating with me.

well, my grandma has lung cancer for awhile,(from smoker and suffer to be on oxygen for years) and died. I used to be smoker, I don't smoke while preggy. I'm totally against to smoke while to have my own babies. and I haven't go back smoke since I was preggy with 2nd. I hope i'm contiune with that. I know its hardest to quit, and it isn't easy. But preggy is easiest for me to quit, cuz i can't take it. Which it helps. Surely does help alot of money. Hey, don't feel bad, everyone have those bad habits too. I do sometime crave for it but had to control it

You are right.

Another sad result of smoking:

A little girl heard the smoke alarm, and escaped the house. Her mom did not.

Here's the story from my local newspaper:

Cigarette likely cause of fatal fire

Investigators have determined that a dropped cigarette caused a house fire that killed a 38-year-old woman Monday night.

Evidence from the fire scene indicated that Kathleen Doll likely dropped a lit cigarette onto a couch in the living room of her Wellford Street home, sparking the 10 p.m. blaze, Chief Fire Investigator Bud Thames said Wednesday...

Firefighters found Doll in the first-floor living room. An autopsy determined she died from smoke inhalation.
 
I agreed with Cheri, RoadRunner and GalaxyAngel. I don't blame on people who are smokers, I wouln't force them to quit UNLESS they ask me to help them to quit then I would admit to help. They are adult, they are old enough to make their own decison(sp). And I admit that I smoked since I was 13 years old, but it'd been off and on and off and on until I was around 19 years old, I finally quitted quickly because of money and don't like to taste the cigs. My mom finally quitted for almost two years but my dad quitted cigs, but continue smoke Cigars. I'm back off because it's their business to smoking or not. I respect people to do whatever they want to. So please, don't point at another people and say something which it's not right to say. :ty:

Except when it endangers other people.

The smoking mom caused a fire that could have also killed her young daughter.

Oh well, I know it's not good idea. But should I force people to quit smoking? I can't do that becuase they would stubborn and win over me. That's why Im respect them to be smoking or not, Im back off about this. :dunno: Sorry.
 
When back to 1991, I was stay with grandparent for 3 month and my grandpa forced me to smoke, just tried learn to smoke when I was grow up then after 3 month later, my parent got mad and scolded at grandpa as like BIGGEST HULK. I don't like smoke, it make my lung looks bad, hard to breath and cough alot. I haven't got whooping cough vaccination until 1992 after got whooping cough and sent me to hospital. It was worst disease but I almost die from that.
 
Smokin' and second-handed smokin' are BAD for health. I will not be around you, if you are smokin' near me. I will be at far away from you. Smokers smoke dead cockroaches. Taste real nasty ! :)

You are right about not to force them to quit smokin'. Smokers don't care about themselves nor their health. They just don't care.

The question is : Why is it soo easy for them not to worry about non-smokers who don't smoke, but for non-smokers who worry about smokers, the ones who are non-smokers' friends ? They don't care about non-smokers' concerns for their health or welfare.
 
Sweetheart, Cheri and some others are right. It doesn't work when you tell them to stop smoking, it doesn't help. The only way they can stop smoking is they work hard to quit smoking or ask for help to stop smoking, it shows that they care about their health. Smokers sometimes DO care about non-smokers. They will go outside to smoke if non-smoker doesn't want to breath the smokey air. It's not always the case, but there are smokers who cares about other people. The reason why people smoke is because of the Nicotine makes them addicted and can't stop, also stress too.
 
Yeah, I can understand about Nicotine. I've been there before and I quit smokin' in 2 years ago. I took one box of " N " ( sp ? ) box - the step one and I quit after that. There's no step 2 or 3 for me. My doctor was amazed at how will power I have. I can overcome it.


Really, there's many ways smokers can quit and sometimes, they are usin' " stress " for an excuse or what ever that is, because of my experience " I " know what it is like to feel " hard " to quit, but I can see that it is no excuse for me and I can do it. I just hate to see friends pass away or lose one of their lungs or respiratory problem by usin' an oxygen thru the tube down their neck with a hole in it and drag an oxygen machine for the rest of their life.

Smokin' ain't NO fun.
 
:applause: :applause: I am very happy that I quit smoking last 23 yrs ago!
I knew it not good for your health! I agreed with you all say this.

My grandfather died from smoke. He was 85 yrs old since he was 12 yrs old. OH MAN!! I did told him :nono: He laughed me. Scold on him! Because whoa He was 12 yrs old and started smoke. WHOA! He smoke 73 yrs!!!!!! I cant believe that how image do that!!! He told me that He say STUPID!!! HE WOULD NOT SMOKE HIS WHOLE LIFE!! HE REALIZED that he hard breath and carry machine breath his nose somewhere and MUST his house COOL A/C.

I know, but it's people's choose which we can't do anything with them. Just leave them be that's it. My mom was addicted to smoking and she always smoke because of stress. But she had hard time to quit smoking, she tried to quit maybe 15 times or so until in aroud two years ago, Thanksgiving in 2004, she finally quitted with my help, my dad's help, everybody's help plus she went to the doctor to getting special that the needle on her hands, face and getting electic(sp), she relaxes and dont smoke again since, I am proud of my mom. But it's up to Smokers to quit or not. That's all. But I bet there some of smokers do care about their healthy and non-smokers' healthy. I know it's odd BUT it's true becuase my best friend's mom is smoker, she do care about her daughter's healthy and herself also. That's true.
 
I'm glad I never started smoking ......
