Tobacco smoking is the practice where tobacco is burned and the vapours either tasted or inhaled. The practice began as early as 5000-3000 BC. Many burnt incense during religious rituals, which was later adopted for pleasure or as a social tool Tobacco was introduced to the old world in the late 1500s where it followed common trade routes. The ...  Read the complete review

I am a smoker, I wish I wasn't but I am. The reason I smoke is because I believe it relaxes me and stops me being stressed (which is total rubbish anyway as nicotine is a stimulant). I think the genuinely truthful reason is that A. I am addicted. B. I have not been ready to try and fight the addiction yet. It tastes disgusting but yet I look ...  Read the complete review

It's controversial. I like smoking, i enjoy it and i know i'm hopelessly addicted to it. It's harmful, it's cloying, makes things smell but there's nothing better, for me, as a treat after work or as a tool for psychological wind down after a stressful day herding psychiatric patients. I love the taste, i love how the ...  Read the complete review

Smoking is where tobacco is burned and the smoke is inhaled. It has been around for years now, first starting in around 5000BC although I don't think they had Bensen and Hedges then. When you first start smoking at a young age, often against your parents will, it can seem fun and excited and different. You can get pleasurable ...  Read the complete review

No-one under 18 should smoke, or consider smoking, and they should stop reading now. I smoked for around 10 years, then gave up around 4 years ago and restarted a couple of months ago. I quit mainly to save money, as the cost of smoking is one of the main drawbacks of the habit, along with health issues of course. There's no escaping ...  Read the complete review

Smoking is an awful habit, and it's a real shame that some people get hooked and suffer traumatic experiences. Smoking destroys not only lives but families. For those that have to witness the death of a family member due to the act of smoking, it can change the way you look at life, and the way you perceive other people. Those that are ...  Read the complete review

As a flute player, I hate smoking and being around smokers. I find that because I am reliant on my lungs for a career, I am a lot more sensitive to second hand smoke than my other non smoker friends. Smoking provides the government with a lot of tax money, however they spend loads of the nhs on smoking related illnesses. If the ...  Read the complete review

Although all the warnings and negative commentary regarding smoking, this does not seem to stop smokers from holding a cigarette in their hands and puffing away, filling their lungs with tar and other "non-essential" products. Smoking is very addictive, and contains tar, nicotine, tobacco, and many other harmful substances. I ...  Read the complete review

Everyone is likely to have some what have tried smoking in their life at some point. For me this experience happened at school when a friend told me just try it theres no harm. This was about 4 years ago so I put a cigarette in my mouth and started to smoke. It was the most horrible feeling ever just having it in my mouth. Some people ...  Read the complete review

When I was about 18 years ago, struggling with stress on a big level, I had the strange desire to smoke; I say strange because I'd never smoked before, but for some reason I envied the relaxing look of those who wrapped their mouths around the sticks and sucked in, then blew life's problems away. I felt like a criminal buying a packet ...  Read the complete review

I'm a chain-smoker. Yes, I know: it's grotty, gruesome, smelly, mucky and so on. I'm an addict. When I started smoking, in the Seventies, everybody smoked everywhere. Everything got coated in that slightly sticky, golden film of nicotine. Now and again, we cleaned it up. It's nothing like as hard as people think! I've noticed that, the ...  Read the complete review

The other day I was walking a long the road and I saw a young girl who was heavily pregnant light up a cigarette. I was mortified at the sight of this and just wanted to fly across the path and take it out of her mouth. My mother-in-law smoked when she was pregnant with all three of her children and they all suffer from 'Croup' and Asthma. I'm not ...  Read the complete review

Reading these reviews, I was expectibg to find almost everyone in agreement that smoking is evil, the ban is a good thing, and smoking should be banned altogether. However, it's surprising how few people are actually going that route and saying that outright. Whether a lot of these people are smokers themselves, and are saying that the smoking ban ...  Read the complete review

I do not like smoking. I do not hate everyone that smokes, but I do believe that knowing the health implications of yourself and others around you, every smoker should be making a healthy effort to quit. What I find particularly appalling is how many younger people, like Sixth Formers and Students can take up Smoking, knowing how bad it is for you ...  Read the complete review

So, there it is, the smoking ban in public has failed to halt the growth of nicotine junkies in the U.K, and most definitely the cancerous growths inside them. According to a recent NHS health survey, involving some 17.000 responders, although the survey thankfully found no rise in smoking in female groups, they did find the first rise in the male ...  Read the complete review

I find smoking to be a disgusting habit and I can honestly say that I've never tried it nor been tempted to. I did approve of the smoking ban being put in place, although now it means walking past bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants in the street that are lined with smokers and smoke - a definite disadvantage! It is however better to go ...  Read the complete review

Ok hands up i admit i'm a smoker- there said it. At present i have given up because im pregnant, and although it isn't easy, im doing it for the sake of my unborn child. I have done it twice before in my last two pregnancies, but for some reason i simply cannot kick the dirty habit altogether. I first started smoking when i was 14, and ...  Read the complete review

The smoking ban was brought into law on July 1st 2007 This means that you are no longer able to smoke in any public place that is indoors. This caused a major stir across the nation as people thought it was their choice and no one else's. All public places must now have an outside designated smoking area outside where people can go. I ...  Read the complete review

I have successfuly (each day at a time) given up smoking, and have been smoke free for roughly six weeks now. I did smoke when I was younger but did quit for seven years. Why did I take it up again? This has been a crutch through stressful times in my life. It is as adictive as everyone says, and a nightmare to try and ...  Read the complete review

If you're at all concerned by your dependence on cigarettes, buying some hand rolling tobacco really might be the best way to go. It tends to be substantially less treated with addictive chemicals and flavourings than the factory manufactured smokes, and this goes for the well known rolling paper brands as well, which are less invested in making ...  Read the complete review
