Who here smokes

[Bruce Banner]

I do not smoke but my wife does. She finds it extremely difficult to quit. Its very addictive and expensive.

re:

Both parents smoked growing up. It was quite a different world when I grew up. Men and women walked through supermarkets smoking cigarettes, cigars, and pipes while shopping. People smoked in restaurants and crushed their cigarettes out on their plates. I used to dread sitting next to a booth in a restaurant having to smell a smoldering cigarette left by someone. Years ago, George Harrison made the comment that cigarettes are more addicting than heroin.

Hair restoration doctor, Sharon Keene wrote a series of hair growth articles in the hair transplant trade magazine called "Forum". She cited cigarette smoking as detrimental to healthy hair growth. Cigarettes raise testosterone levels and constricts blood vessels. These were epigenetic identical twin studies. On the other hand, there are a lot of men and women who have smoked for years who have great heads of hair. So cigarettes most likely only have a 3% to perhaps an 8% detrimental effect on hair. Just my guesstimate.

Just curious. I do myself.

Weed is for try-hard college douche bags. Much like alcohol.

Hard drugs or go home. That said I'm clean since a few months.

Opiates are the best. Kill my sex-drive and make me feel truly at peace with the world and myself. It's a shame they can be so debilitating and life-ruining.

[Breaking Bald]

And weed is awesome, such a pleasant drug. I smoked cigs for a couple of years but quit, however I still find myself have the odd one, even more so if I am out drinking on a night out. Still smoke weed though when I get the chance.

Highlander is a psycho with serious mental issues

What did you used to take Highlander?

Drugs are for ******s.

cannabis is not a hardcore drug, its recreational at best. There is no addiction to the substance, and it has been proven to be better than alcohol and cigarettes in terms of health issues.

[Bacon]

Only the green stuff once in a while, unless I'm drunk in which case I will consume anything that's put in front of me.

[Aames]

Considering buying some e-cigs, but there are still some negative health affects that are keeping me away from them.

Such a shame. Smoking is ****ing cool.

I know!!!! Look at this, you know you want to be like him:

Agreed mate, its the best feeling in the world. Ne one tried weed?

I don't understand why more smokers don't switch to e-cigs. Like you say, no damage, and they can pretty much smoke them anywhere they want to.

It's not the same. I don't smoke anymore but when e-cigs were introduced to me while I was a smoker, it didn't have the same appeal. I liked watching the cigarette burn and holding something that had the spongy filter, and it just felt real. The e-cig does taste good cause you can switch flavours, like the hookah, but to be honest, on a night of drinking, an e-cig just doesn't cut it.

Although I will never touch a cigarette again, but I will admit that those were fun times.

I know.

Why doesnt the government ban the burning of tobacco and just have folks some those things.No cancer. No second hand smoke . No lung damage.

Why dont they just do that?

Smoking doesn't really affect hair loss but I don't see why you would want to continue. At the very least, switch to e-cigs since you still get the nicotine but without damaging teeth, skin, respiratory health, etc.
