Smoking

[snuffleupagus]

forgive me then for misinterpreting your figure of speech, since you used 'literally' instead of 'practically burning a hole in your pocket'

also i r dum, what's mongoloid?

ooh looks like its confirmed then.

My late grandfather used to be a heavy smoker. But by the time he decided to quit, it was too late :\ everything went downhill from there.

 

[dir]

yes i got dropped on the head as a child that's why people always made fun of me in class
that's partly the reason why i took up smoking since it makes me look cool and so i can hang out with the cool kids that aren't as judgmental as the rest of the evil conformist society.
thank you cigarettes!

 

[dtrulez38]

smoking = cool????
tat's very very old school...like in those 90s hk movies...haha...wear sunnies, tight jeans, smoke at a corner, act kool...

 

[dir]

yeah, i love old hk movies. hard boiled, the killer, tiger cage, johnny to movies. they don't make them like they used to anymore. now they all look life infernal affairs part III

i found the best way to quit, is to not quit at all. its true, "once a smoker, always a smoker", but its also quite dependent on the amount you smoke. i used to smoke 2 packs a day, then i cut down to one pack every three days, and now, its like only half a pack on weekends.

why?

simple, because i like being healthy, plus its not good when u're doing training for marathons/sports events. its also not very true that u smoke more in army, its all about the discipline that u have to not smoke so much in the army. remember guy who;ve gone through army before, the SAF 3rd core value? DISCIPLINE!

not worth 2 cents, but mayb worth $11.60.

We choose to smoke cos we like it. If people continue saying about saving $36500 per year by not smoking good for them.but its like picking up music and spending $$$ on gears.

 

[dtrulez38]

but its like picking up music and spending $$$ on gears.

err...dun think so...
but as long as u happy can already if u insist to think tat way...

 

[screamfest]

if you smoke, you die.
if you don't smoke, you still die.

From a monetary and guitaring point of view.......

Just say 2 packs a day is about $20. Therefore each month is about $600. One year adds up to roughly $7200. With that money (or one year without cigarettes), you can either :

(i) Buy a Gibson Les Paul '58 RI VOS, a Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt strat/tele, or any Mesa Boogies you so desired.

(ii) Invest in equities for a few years and hopefully get a return plus capital of $10000 or more. Then go buy a Gibson Les Paul Std '59 RI VOS, a PRS Modern Eagle, or a Two Rock Amp with it.

So which is better? Smoke to satisfy your nicotine/tar cravings (got zero $ value + bad lungs), OR high end gear to satisfy your GAS (got $ value + healthy lungs)?

peer pressure is why i started smoking.
stress only triggers it more.
how i wish i can stop so i can buy some cool axe with the money spent on cigarretes.

 

[theunknown]

smoking is bad...*puff huff puff*

yeah i started smoking coz i thought it was cool. saw "cool" kids doing it, so yeah.
wasnt addicted infact i stay a year smoke free, i think. till my peers all start smoking.
we lepak lepak, nothing in between 2 fingers seems so empty. thankfully im not THAT
addicted. i still can go like 2days without smoking. and my pack usually last 5days.
by then "lemau" already.

 

[Jughead]

by then "lemau" already.

haha.
lemau.
peer pressure is usually the reason why.

 

[sleepykitty]

by then "lemau" already.

speaking of lemau, I've got 6 sticks of marlboro ice mint bought way back in early March. Whoever wants it can PM me! hahah!

 

[fuzztremecho]

smoking is good,IMO.
our packs here are tame compare to overseas..it's child's play.

it helps me to de-stress and think clearly when in a stressful situation.helps to break the ice between strangers and start conversation..

mine-Marlboro red/djarum/gudang garam..

 

[theunknown]

ehh 3 months only? last month i was spring cleaning, i found a non*ehem*singapore menthol under my table. suspect it was from last year. buahahahha. i didnt even know how it got there. left 2 sticks. hahahaha. threw it away of course.

yeah my sister always gives me her leftover sticks. she will say its "lemau" even only 3 days after opening then gives me the leftovers. im not the fussy kind. huhu.

mine: next chill, viceroy menthol light, or any free sticks. huhu

 

[marcdadrummer]

im in indo now.. bought a 80cents pack of 12 sampoerna hijau.. like a cannon.. call it cigarettes..

smoked a stick... i was in heaven for an hour. .. yes one stick = 1 hour!! woohoo... but feeling got shortlifted coz parents are came back... .. lol

singapore ciggs are pussy. seriously...

and to compare the health warning here... 50mg tar, 5mg nicotine.. and the warning is "merokok menyebabkan kanker".. three simple words and no fancy pictures.. hahahahhas!

i wonder how long 11 more sticks can last me. still got gudang garam back at home.. AND NO IM NO HARDCORE SMOKER! i go by a pack about a week.. sometimes 1 and a half u matau with friends....

and main reason why i started was yeah breaking the ice barrier.. in the long run got hooked with the habit.. the advertisement " one puff will get u hooked for life" is BULLCRAP! my first cigg was a cigar. cuban i think. my friend kapo from his dad. ahhaahahs.

good ol days.

 

[fuzztremecho]

thats why its a common norm that smokers are kakis..can get along reasonably well..society have labelled us as "outcasts"..for lack of a better word..forgive me here..but I find we smokers are friendlier...

 

[growlingsoulpup]

As a vocalist I don't think I'd ever want to pick up smoking. I don't know bout others, but my throat is REALLY sensitive to cigarette smoke. One time I worked at this warehouse with a bunch of uncles who smoked all the time. it was awful. My range decreased by what seemed like one full octave, my voice lost some richness and became hoarse and gravelly. As a singer I lost the ability to fly and hit those high notes that I love to hit. So if that's what passive smoking does to me, I'd hate to think of what it'd become if I ever put one of those sticks into my mouth.
