    Smoking socially at parties to have a reason to go outside with pretty girls.

    Actually, that's the only possible GOOD reason.

    stupid reason. why not just go out and stand with them anyway, plus if she is pretty and she smokes then its not worth it... her looks will succumb to the ravages of tobacco inhalation at some point and she'll look like a 79 year old satsuma... still, all those years of needless addiction, money wasting, illness, possible lung cancer and most likely a horrifically painful and ignominious death is worth it for a shag i suppose. :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Trust me, the method worked :) It was a good icebreaker for a shy lad like myself ;) Plus, standing outside with a girl while she blows smoke in your face is quite unpleasant and not conducive to good romancing unless you actively smoke yourself. It seemed worth it at the time. It went from an infrequent, social thing to an everyday thing unfortunately. I stopped though.

    Also, it's not like I was going to spend enough time with these people that they might end up ravaged as you describe. Jesus, what do you think I meant, I started smoking so I could marry someone?! :D

    We'll both come back as zombies and then there'll only be one way to kill us. You'll know what that is, so you'll have an advantage as I... do not. :)

    I do.

    Have you ever seen Beetlejuice?

    You know the guy in the waiting room in the afterlife who sits by Adam and offers him a cigarette?

    If you continue to smoke, you'll be a zombie who looks similar to that.
    Now, don't get me wrong but if i'm gonna walk the earth after i've passed on already, i'd rather look good.

    I'll let you think about that ;)

    I believe I've already talked about the reasons why I took up smoking and why I'm now finding it very difficult to stop... can I point you to the search function? I'll make it simple for you. I've had the worst year of my life this year and the end of last. In January, at my worst, a very kind friend offered me a smoke and I found it greatly relaxed me. It was a lifeline... and I gave no thought to the fact it was destructive... oblivion was a desirable prospect at the time. That has changed, but the smoking hasn't.

    And to refer to my other disabilities is totally irrelevant... my smoking has absolutely no bearing on them. I have a right to smoke just as you have the right to repeatedly get 'blootered'.

    And by the way... none of my life decisions are based on me needing help of any kind :)

    yeah i know where the search funtion is Mark... but searching 'cigarettes' brings up a lot of shit... and i'm not searching through all your posts, not knowing when you posted it, just to find that one that maybe explains why you smoke? I'll just ask... much easier.

    of course you have the right to smoke... but considering you have enough on your plate i was wondering at what point you thought the addition of smoking might be beneficial to you? and of course smoking has a bearing on your disabilites... smoking can affect respiratory functions, it can also clog veins, you know the rest... but i understand smoking can actually put fit people into a wheelchair so i'd ahte to think what it might do to yourself... its worrying... but i see you got angry in your rebuttal... so i'm outski... good luck :)

    cant remember when i was last 'blootered' but i get drunk, on occasion... not repeatedly.

    alcohol in moderation has been proven to be a health benefit...

    Don't assume I am angry just because I answered your question and came back to your objections.. that's just adult discussion. It's a strange thing that anyone with a disability who engages in discussion about it is considered 'angry'.

    My smoking is as dangerous to me as it is to someone with dyslexia, that's my only point. My disability has nothing to do with my respiratory system, or my veins, or lungs, or anything connected to smoking... that's why your referring to my disability is irrelevant to my discussion.

    I don't see my disability as another thing 'on my plate'.. if you do, that's your decision. :)

    Beneficial to your heart but still damaging to your liver, right?

    Besides, how many actually subscribe to the idea of drinking in moderation? As far as my own experience goes, my drinking has probably been more harmful to my health than smoking, although I never smoked massively, and the negative consequences for other people have been certainly more plentiful. I've never been a prick to anyone I cared about because of smoking :)

    My point is, judge not lest you be judged yourself, yadda yadda blah di blah and so on and so forth :p

    Unless someone can honestly put their hand on their heart and say they have only ever drank alcohol as a beverage and not as an intoxicant, they don't really have a right to get sanctimonious.

    What if they've given up alcohol as an intoxicant and now only drink it as a beverage?

    the liver is a regenerative organ, the lungs and the heart arent... are you really going to argue with me that someone who drinks red wine at the weekends is doing more harm than someone who is addicted to smoking? thats like arguing fallout out boy are a great live band.

    i dont compound my issues by taking up drinking is the difference... i've always drank alcohol... but if i didnt have the full function of my own legs then i doubt i'd take up binge drinking at age 28, seeing as how that might affect me and my disability, my health and the emotions of people around me. It can hardly be equated to a 34 year old man drinking a bottle of red wine on a friday night. thats about 6 units of alcohol.. my liver copes fine.
