why smoke in the first place? You know its bad for you, yet despite all the warnings and all the people you see with asthma and
in the hospital dying of lung cancer having to possibly say goodbye to the people they love people still smoke. The choice is ultimatly yours what you want to do with your body. I thought to myself today after watching someone smoke how cigarette companies stay open when people who smoke keep on dying. So wouldn't cigarette companies want to make cigarette healthy so theirs customers will stay alive longer, therefore being able to purchase more cigarette. The truth of how cigarette companies survive and grow is because even though the old smokers die, new young smokers keep coming because of the influence in society to smoke. I can sit here and keep typing but the choice is yours, think to yourself Do I want to smoke and at the very least get emphysema or lose a lung? Or do I wanna live a long healthy life with my family and loved ones and save a ton of money. The ball is in your court, make your choice. You may think its "cool" now until you are sitting in a hospital bed wishing that you bought more life insurance to take care of your family because you might die soon because you only have one lung left and the cancer is spreading. However if you really really really need to smoke and if you dont you will get nervous twitches and might jump off a bridge or something then use cigars, at least you don't breath the smoke in.

Stunt your life? Yes

to counter paintball's grim picture:

i've known people that have smoked like fawkin chimneys their whole lives, and never had a problem. it's completely dependant on the person.

Indeed hwsb its not as bad as some people believe, not that its good for you by any means.

On topic though I've smoked since I was 12 and it hasn't stunted my growth, I actually matured faster than a lot of my peers did.

Well on a different thought....my grandmther smoked 4- 5 packs of pall mall non filters a day. Drank at least ten pots o coffee a day.
Ate anything she wanted....If it didnt have a lot of fat it in she said " I don't want that censored shiiit " ! " Give me something with some flavor to it"
Sh eventutally died of natural causes , in other words her heart was getting weak .
But then again she was 91.
So like other have said above smoking is bad for you but just think about it this way, you may want to go across the street to your friends house and "poof" outa the blue a car runs you over and kills you ..
I have been smoking since i was 12 , smokingh longer than most of you people have been alive, 28 years.
And it doesn't stuntyour growth, thta is just a myth. :mrgreen:
