Smoking in general Reviews

I am a non smoker but I was brought up in a world where, until the 1980's, smoking was considered to be the "In Thing" to do. My parents were non smokers but most of my family did indeed smoke. At that time I had no opinion whatsoever on whether people should smoke or not. I can remember the times when, if you moved ...

I started smoking around 7 odd months ago and have thought about stopping a couple times. The first was for an ex girlfriend and the other when i had hardly any money. However at the end of the day i am happy to continue. My parents, both non smokers, have accepted that i smoke and never nag about it. It is an individuals decision and ...

As someone who has grown up in the world of anti-smoking hysteria, and as someone who has done a fair bit of research into it, I consider myself fairly clued up on the issues surrounding smoking. I am a non-smoker myself, but I'm far from being a mad anti-smoking nutcase! Firstly, I will consider why people start smoking. One of the ...

I'm 26 years old and i started smoking at around 13/14 years old, i thought that i could quit whenever but I now smoke 30 a day minimum. I know that smoking is bad for my health and those around me, however I do still enjoy smoking and that is the main reason why I can't quit. Now most fellow smokers will tell you about the feeling on a ...

The sudden popularity of the shisha has been brought to my attention recently with the number of café?s offering shisha in around London. Edgeware Road in London is undoubtedly the shisha capital of London the way Amsterdam is the capital city of Cannabis. I guess most of you would like to know what exactly shisha is... so here goes... ...

I was asked this question several times during the duration of last night and every time my answer was ‘no sorry I don’t smoke’. This is true and to a degree I’m proud that I never feel into the peer pressure of smoking but also as I’ve never actually tried directly smoking before, I have been thinking about it a lot ...

yep i smoke but i do it in moderation. anyone whos smoking 2 packs a day is asking for serious trouble! most days i smoke 2-3 cigs a day and i enjoy the intoxicating effects of nicotine. no its not good for you but neither is a high stress job or stuffing yourself with junk food all day! i could end up with heart disease or lung cancer but so ...

I have not forgotten to use capital letters in first few paragraphs seems to be a bug lingering in the Dooyoo Website which I hope they sort out soon. From the 50ts till the end of the 80ts smoking was classified as being trendy by advertising cigarette brands in magazines and TV Commercials. Many ...

I'm writing this opinion at a time when I'm fully aware that at any time I could well begin smoking again. Don't get me wrong,I don't want to,and I don't need it,it's just that if I do start again,I only have myself to blame...if that makes any sense whatsoever. Anyway,I gave up with the aid of Nicotine ...

My very first cigarette was a Will's Woodbine offered to me by a 16 year old friend, John. I was 15 going on 16 and working in my school holidays at a Lyons Tea Shop. The rest of the youngsters sitting round the table at that breaktime laughed as I spluttered and coughed, before I managed to take down the smoke. It was about 4.15 in the ...

Strike 1. ive been a smoker on and off since i was forteen,I started out like most people,it was cool to have a fag in your hand back then. I dont know about todays coolness but plenty more kids are open about smoking where as we used to hide at the back of the sports hall. Leaving school i never gave it a second thought i just got on with my ...

What would you do with an extra $100 or more in your pocket every month? Look... cigarette tax hikes are becoming popular with politicians these days and have become the "politically correct" thing to do. You may or may not realize it but... have you noticed that you don't seem have as much money as you used to because of ...

There is no one more anti smoking than an ex smoker. It's true when I gave up thirty years ago I was vociferous in my condemnation of the evil weed. As the years went on I mellowed and realised that it was up to the individual to make the choice. My views now have changed since the death of my Mother In Law. For all you men out there who ...

After writing my 'Giving up Smoking In General' opinion I then started to think a bit more about smoking and how I started. It was during the summer holidays of 1975, in between leaving Primary School and going up to Secondary. Why did I start? How did I start? Those are 2 questions I have often asked ...

Around 13 million people smoke in the UK. That breaks down to 28% of men and 26% of women. Most of these people are addicts. I should state that I am a non-smoker. I have never so much as held a cigarette let alone brought one to my lips. I do not enjoy being in a smoke filled room but I will not preach. I am of the firm belief that ...

So your thinking of smoking THINK AGAIN!! Take a look behind the counter at any convenience store. There are so many brands and types of cigarettes that you could almost lose it if you tried to keep track of them all. There are low-tar and high-tar brands, king size and regular, milds, ultra-lights, extra-longs, imports, and ...

My best friend and me have shared many happy moments. They've always been there for me though the bad patches, comforting me and consoling me. They've met my friends and my family and have been to all of the big gatherings and celebrations for 13 years. Then, almost two weeks ago and without any warning, I woke up knowing that I ...

Right, here we go then. When I was about twelve or thirteen, I used to hate everyone who smoked and I thought that it should be banned. However, I have been thinking about it more recently, mainly because some of my friends have started smoking, and also because I am getting to that age now where I am turning more liberal. First of all, ...

Smoking, its not cool and its not funny. This is the message that we should be giving out to kids, as a nation we should be united in trying to steer kids away from taking up smoking because it is perceived as cool and the thing to do. This may be a little rash and harsh but I believe that a hard-hitting advertisement campaign on ...

You smoke. You can't stop or you don't want to stop. You know that it's bad for your health and that it will massively increase your chances of cancer but you still have not quit smoking. You are a smoker and therefore you don't care about your health. True? No, I don't think so. If most smokers are like me then you DO care ...
