smoking

it makes you look cool, it does.



  • Not in a lung cancer ward

    fact...

    • surely

      that's where you'd be the favourite son

      hangin out on a lung cancer ward smoking a tab, everyone wants to be your friend

  • Not me.

    I'm crap at it.

    • But drinking os COOOL

      I was so drunk last night at the launch party for The Frank & Walters Space Copter Interactive computer game - champagne EVERYWHERE. I ended up at the end dancing on a table with Simon from Trev & Simon and Igor Ivanov the Russan Foreign Minister and Champion Cheese Roller 3 years running.

  • Truth

  • It does

    Apart from Bobbygeorge, who really really does look bad. Heheeee....

  • It does not

    make me look cool - it makes me cough and I don't like it!

    • If you sit in a pub on your todd

      and smoke a fag you look cool, hard and mysterious

      If you sit in a pub on your todd just fiddling with your pint, you look like a sad loser.

      Smoking makes you look wicked. Shame it kills you from the inside-out.

      • In America,

        smoking a fag has a completely different meaning.

      • You could always

        take a book or a paper, thus looking to all present as if you either have a purpose in being there or that you're waiting for someone to arrive.

    • everything is a risk innit?

      I mean everything - I've a mate who smokes who has a serious nut allergy and it would be gutting if he died thanks to a hazelnut.

      i go the Bill Hicks route on this 'issue'

      • the last time I smoked

        was at 4.30am, very drunk, on my doorstep, smoking and retching at the same time, and practically falling over from the nicotine rush. I didn't look cool.

        • back in Aber where I don't smoke

          I've often been told me and smoking have never looked good together.

          When I started smoking I felt like Olvia Newton John at the END of Grease.

        • What this morning?

          What induced you to have a cig with tonsilitis? A death wish?

          You're just trying to get that authentic Darthy inhuman voice, aren't you?

          • no, not this morning, foolish man

            a few weeks ago :(

            ha ha, I like the idea of Le Freak as Bad Sandy.

      • The Bill Hicks route

        = cancerous death in your 30's?

        Top plan, batman

        • Nah

          He died of pancreatic cancer, nothing to do with cigs, surely?

          But the big fucking sell out: I didn't see *HIM* getting his head kicked off by Chuck Norris.

          Terminally Ill Stunt People my arse!

          • I don't like smoking

            I also don't like Olivia Newton John at the end of grease.

            Other things i hate: Judi 'i'm old give me an award mother fucker' dench

          • Google says:

            "Smoking: Smokers develop pancreatic cancer more than twice as often as nonsmokers"

            That might mean you get buy one get one free pancratic cancer if you smoke, or it might mean you're twice as likely to get it. I'm no doctor.

            • Meh

              What are the odds, though? If I buy two lottery tickets I double my odds... to *2* in 13 million.

              • or 1 in 6.5 millions

                hmmmmmmm i like them apples.

                • NO!

                  2 in 13 million is not 1 in 6.5 million.

                  No wonder you lose so much gambling.

        • well I didnt mean that

          oh dear lord let's not get sancimonious about smoking ok or smoking bad - some people make it some people don't - its the tragedy of modern life, the samethat drnk and drgs are - you are no more in or out of control with these as you are with a 'cheeky cig'

          living in london and breathing the air is damaging your lungs. Can't win really.

          • Yeah

            No sanctimony, I was kidding. Hicks' death was a real karma kick, though

            Smoking is arguably 'cool'. It just also makes you smell like an incontinent rat, hastens death, and costs a fortune.

            (wow. you really could sub 'London' for 'Smoking' there)

  • please don't

    murdering my lungs with cigarettes feels like a good plan right now.

    • Its not

      a good idea - you've done so well.
      You haven't smoked in 2 months don't cave now!

  • Yeah

    Smoking looks good.
    But it kills your insides.
    So I guess it's how much you wanna look good.

    • since i stopped smoking

      my skin looks a lot better/younger. but seeing as how i often got id'd buying cigarettes maybe this isn't a good thing

    • does everyone seriously think it makes you look good?

      am I the only one who finds that a little bit depressing?

      • and slightly pathetic.

      • I think it's aesthetically pleasing.

        Of course it is. Smoke kinda looks good. Hence smoke machines.

        • erm

          I think smoke machines and actual smoke are a bit different, I agree that looks cool. not fags though.

          • i agree alan

            • But your MOUTH turns into a smoke machine

              I sense that no resolution will be reached on this point.

              • but the actual smoke machine

                looks shit doesn't it? it's just smoke that looks cool.

                yeah, agree to disagree and all that..

      • well...

        rolling fags makes me look cool, and once I've done that I've got to do something with it or I've wasted my time.

        I only used to smoke about 10 a day when I smoked straights, now that I've moved to rollies I smoke aaaaaaaall day and all night, and I love/hate it.

        so....yeah. that one.

    • ALSO

      makes you're skin looked older

      great if you wanna get served at 14 and you've been smoking sinced you were 8 because the bin man on your estate used to give one if you showed him you bottom.

      BAD! if you're 32 and look like a corpse.

      • Exactly.

        I had a good ten year run of smoking but have now stopped before my teeth turn yellow and my face starts looking like a screwed up brown paper bag.

      • do I look like a corpse then?

        oh dear - I just thought that was the SHoreditch look?

  • I don't smoke - I've never been cool

    :-D

    • Well i for one don't think it

      looks cool now - I did when I was 16 - hell I thought the fookin 'Inspirals' were 'cool' back then.

      I wish I never had. i weaned my self of tailor mades over a year ago and not really have to get off social rollies. If I don't I have only myself to blame

      Anyone who thinks drinking is cool as well is pathetic as well. These are just tools of our existence that we either use and abhor or abstain and abhor

      Fancy a pint? See you in the smoking room.

      • drinking

        isn't cool, it's just fun.

  • everyone likes a smoke, no one likes a smunk

    • a christian guy

      saw me smoking. i know it doesn't really matter but i got a bit scared.

      • God hates fags.

        • well

          exactly.

          on a tangent has anybody seen the genuine god hates fags website? it's quite scary and makes me want to shoot people.

          • also smoking is not addictive

            ffs! how is it?

          • no

            jesus, I'd imagine it's not all that pleasant.

            I hope god hates elton john though.

        • i gave up smoking for

          5 months. i've got a week off work and got bored and bought 10 tabs. they're well overrated.

          • they're not

            nobody rates them at all.

          • they are overrated!

            everytime I've tried them I just feel like I've mouth raped pat butcher.

            I could never get addicted to something that horrid.

            • It's true

              Sounding a bit Allen Carr here but it does take effort to start smoking properly, no-one can truly say their first fag was all oooh what a taste sensation. Then you're suddenly addicted and burning loads of money away, and you'll never not be again.

              Having said that it does look cool, on certain people, but so do skinny jeans.

              • I have just given up....last night

                unfortunately I have 14 camel lites left, what to do with them? they call me.

                • drop them in town

                  and amuse yourself wondering what happened to them.

                  • Smoke rings are cool

                    It's the only part of smoking I miss.
                    Well, apart from that rich, satisfying Laramie flavour, obviously.

                  • excellent idea

                    i love that, i still get entertainment out of that.
                    Better still I might lie hidden and see who picks them up, then go up to them and say, oi those were mine and be able to correctly identify how many were in there, and then say...but you can have them, im giving up.

                    Or would that freak them out too much?

                    I'll stick with your idea

                • Nobody has yet said

                  how or why it looks cool

                  I think it looks minging, especially if it's a woman smoking.

                  I'm really looking forward to the ban coming in up here. Being able to go to gigs without my asthma kicking in due to people smoking next to me is very appealing. Sorry smokers, but nothing sets my asthma off more quickly.

                  I've been on other boards and smokers get all weird, 'I'm a libertarian and taxpayer, I've worked damn hard for my right to smoke next to you, who made you boss anyway ?, and don't start me on fat people at gigs. Think of how terrible it'll be, I've been to Eire and music venues smell of sweaty people instead of nicotine, I was, frankly, disgusted'

                  People need to get their heads round the fact that they're seriously addicted to a substance that burns up their money, but, more importantly, causes serious damage to their health and the health of those around them. Of course, passive smoking is a myth, the figures released by British American Tobacco prove this.

                  • not having ass-marr

                    i don't mind so much about the actual smoke at gigs, but i get really scared when people smoke when the crowd is tightly packed and the band is actually playing. i fear for my eyes.

                    and all your points are very true. as for the coolness thing, i would say that if you could define it, it wouldn't be cool anymore. also it suits some women, but not all.

                  • I have to disagree

                    Some women smokers look fantastic.

                  • TOTALLY AGREE

                    WITH CADD.

                    • Anyone who uses

                      the word 'Eire' is WRONG anyway. So I also agree with cadd.

                      It's pretty tragic round my school, 12 year olds smoking. Eurgh.

                      All you can do is POINT and LAUGH.

  • boys smoking are hot.

    especially after... stuff.

    • Tell me about it, Stud

    • Match of the Day?

      Swingball?

      What? The suspense is killing me.

      • Up here in Glasgow

        11 year olds are bypassing tobacco in favour of smoking smack and keeling over in school. It's a sure bet to get you a couple of days off I reckon.
