So yeah. I've seen some things popping up on UPSB concerning Smoking and Tobacco consumption. Me being the smoker I am became curious. SO How many of y'all on UPSB partake in the consumption of tobacco products, whether It be Cigarettes, Cigars, Pipes or Smokeless and what are you thoughts on it? What do you smoke/chew/dip, how often, why, ect ect? If you don't use tobacco what are your thoughts on tobacco and those who use it? Myself. I tried my first cigarette when I was about 11 or 12 although I never inhaled it, didn't think it was anything special so I didn't do it again until about when I was in 8th grade and heard people raving on about the buzz it gives you. So I tried smokeless tobacco and quite enjoyed the buzz but hated how it tore up my gums so decided to try cigarettes a few months later. Enjoyed the hell out of smoking but didn't do it too often, about 3-5 times a week with big gaps of time in between. A year or so later I picked up smoking on the regular and haven't stopped since. (other than when I got locked up) As of now I smoke L&M Reds as my main brand but smoke camels sometimes but not often due to the price I also enjoy the occasional cigar or cigarillo, smoke about a pack in about 2-3 days. Things i enjoy about smoking is the relaxation it gives, it clears my mind and helps me think, and the social aspect of it. Negitive effects I have noticed are decreased lung capacity, running out of breath faster, dry coughs and feeling like shit if i haven't smoked in a while (withdrawal). So yeah UPSB, tease and please me with your riveting tales.

Theres alot of kids in my school who smoke, but I run, and need every bit of lung capacity I can get. Also, I dont want to blow away money on smokes. I just really would never smoke, because I believe the negitives outway the positives.

Yeah, the amount of money you spend does suck. I climb a lot and i really haven't noticed too great of a difference in my lung capacity which is quite surprising but climbing and running are two different things. -

My first time i was like 8 years old. I told my dad how curious i was and he gave me one. One inhale and i coughed like crazy lol. I hated the taste of it and everything. It was kinda like eating an extremely sour food. My face and everything puckered up. Sooo now i've always never liked the smell of smoke because i get that reaction. Though now i can't stand the smell of smoke, partly because it kills my nose from allergies and such. Which is why I don't like cities, full of pollution. And there are the detrimental health values of it.. yeah. I don't really care if people do smoke, i'd just prefer they didn't smoke all the time and in your face.

Yeah. That annoys the hell out of me too, when I smoke I try to make sure I'm not bothering anyone with the second-hand smoke or anything like that. I keep my distance and all that around non-smokers. I really hate parents who smoke around their kids, especially when the kids are really young. I see that all the time, parents tending to their young child with a cigarette. that shit really makes me mad. -

I dont smoke. Im a runner and a swimmer, so a decreased lung capacity is like a shot in the face. I dont feel like spending money on cigs, and my parents dont smoke at all, so they would fuckin kill me if I smoked. Plus, I feel like living past my 60s. :p

I've never really seen the draw of cigs, I mean I see the draw to weed but this thread isn't about that. Can you explain the "buzz" better?

Well when you first start smoking you get a huge "headrush" which basically consist of feeling lightheaded and dizzy but in a nice way and you get nice and relaxed. but after smoking for a while the "headrush" get way less intense but you get way more relaxed and calm-like, it helps you think and just makes you brain feel better in such a subtle way. It's kind of hard to explain I summed it up as best I can, for me it's a stress reliever more then anything. Also weed and cigs are a great combination, makes you a lot higher. That goes for almost any drugs. -

some stranger made me smoke when I 9 or 10, coughed like hell. No interest in smoking cause the negatives scare me, a lot. Tried it once again when I was 12 or something (my parents started smoking for like 6 months so it was easy to access) it clears our your thought and it kinda made me feel sleepy. Had no motivation to try it again and parents stopped smoking so yeah. Wanted to try weed, made some stoner friends, realized they were the biggest dumb fucks ever, pussy'd out. Plus you never know what people might mix with the weed you are getting so haven't tried it. Hookahs oh man <3

Righhhhhhht. Anyways, I've seen you in the drugs or not thread. You know my stance on the topic. But cigarettes. I tried it more than a handful of times in my early teens but it never really "stuck" with me. But if you smoke around me, I don't mind lighting you up if you forgot your lighter. -

i only smoke cigarettes when friends offer me one, i'd never smoke alone though hookahs are only good when you're not the one starting it up

I would never do it since I am into playing sports, I remember the first time I sniffed second hand, I hated it and it made me cough a lot. I never wanted to try it. Never will.

Smoked cigarettes once when I was young, never done it again and never will. I do smoke cigars very rarely though for special occasion, doesn't fuck up your lungs as cigarettes. And it is relaxing. I do want to try hookah sometime in the future, just haven't found time or a friend who has one :P

I only smoke cigs when i am really stressed. Other than that i smoked hookah twice and both times loved the flavors. I do like the buzz iget tho:) i can say that much. But i dont smoke often as i am a bboy and you need your lungs for stamina and nonsense! But if were talking about weed! Thats a totally different story because i love it. Its better than cigs and healthier depending on what or who your getting it from. My friend grows his own and has a license to do it and smoke it so as soon as i hit 18 im gettin my weed smokin license.

I voted no because smoking makes you die an early, preventable, horrible, long drawn-out and probably expensive death.
