Smoking in general Reviews

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

I hate to admit it but I've been a smoker for over 30 years and I hate to think how much it has cost me, both financially and health-wise. My daughters (17 & 21) are very against smoking and continually have sarcastic comments to make, especially as my husband quit 4 years ago. For those who don't smoke or have any other ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I've been reading quite a few of the smoking reviews today and thought I would share my experiences and opinion. I began smoking at a stupidly young age, 13, along with many of my friends. In fact, only one of my friends decided against it and interestingly enough, her parents didn't smoke. We weren't what I would call a 'rowdy' ...  Read the complete review

I really cannot understand these days why anyone would ever start to smoke given the amount of educatin out their advising people of the inherent dangers to their own health and that of their children as such anyone who does smoke deserves everything they get and really do have no cause for moaning. Personally I would like to see those ...  Read the complete review

Smoking obviously as we all know is not healthy for us but try telling that to a long term smoker who you want to quit. Giving up smoking isnt as easy as people may think, i have literaly tryed everything, hypnosis which seemed to have worked for a few hours. Nicoret gum which tastes foul and does take away your cravings short term ...  Read the complete review

Why do people smoke tobacco? Simple really, they are nicotine addicts and once you get reliant on this drug your body needs and craves it. My own doctor told me that it is more difficult to kick the nicotine habit than it is to stop taking heroin. The reason for this is that when you smoke the nicotine gets into your brain. When the ...  Read the complete review

Smoking In general I am a smoker and have been for longer than I care to remeber and even I think it is the most filthy disgusting habit (almost) on earth. At present I smoke about 4 cigarettes per day and people often comment on this- "If you can get down to four then why dont you stop?" The simple answer to this ...  Read the complete review

Having been smoking for 8 years now (8-16 years old) I have to say that my health has not at all be inhibited, i can still run as fast as i used to and do everything else i used to be able to do. I really enjoy smoking and have smoked GV roll ups since i was 8, and much as there are many warnings I have now chosen to ignore them, ...  Read the complete review

I smoked for 2 years aged 14-16. At sixteen I found more interesting things than smoking. Tobacco was used by American natives for thousands of years. Europeans discovered it in the 16th century. It is one of the worse discoveries of all time. Billions have died in six centuries, from the side effects of this harmful plant. Cancers, ...  Read the complete review

PERSONAL HISTORY Around the age of thirteen I first tried smoking . Nowadays I can't believe how young I was , but there you go . At that time cigarettes did not carry a health warning and were widely advertised on television etc . Adults did know that smoking wasn't healthy but were not as well informed . I had ...  Read the complete review

Smoking should be personal choice as everything we do should be, if we ban smoking because its bad for peoples health or costing the NHS then we should Ban all of the following too: Drinking Sweets (RUINS TEETH) Fast Food outlets Sun bathing All of the above is as damaging as smoking to people and the NHS which ...  Read the complete review

Most smokers already know but ignore the serious risks involved in smoking. I don’t think the habit is likely to be stopped by health warnings alone. Many smokers already know how much medical treatment is required by people in hospital due to smoking related illness. So you may ask what’s the sense in ...  Read the complete review

I am beginning to feel very annoyed about the patronising tone of certain non smokers. Life is a constant mental calculation of the ones personal risk to benefit/pleasure ratio. Of course it is right for people and the government to inform the public about the risks of smoking but then it is their duty to leave us alone to make our own minds up. I ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever noticed that there is help for all kinds of addictions? For starters there’s the AA for alcoholics as in Alcoholics Anonymous as opposed to the Automobile Association (although many of their respective members are the same apparently). There is a whole plethora of drug rehabilitation programs and even Weight Watchers for those who ...  Read the complete review

This is not about my past addiction, rather how it feels to be free after 50 years. I won't dwell on my several attempts to quit (with the aid of patches) as that has been well covered by others. I hope to encourage those who, like me, are life long smokers who actually like the habit and may well have lived in a culture which encouraged smoking ...  Read the complete review

(Don’t think this is entirely the right category, but I couldn’t find a better one. Feel free to punish me for being off-topic.) I can’t remember exactly when I became a smoker. It was something I kind of drifted into while at university, although back then I didn’t really smoke that many plain cigarettes without ‘something extra’ in ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
