I’ve never been a regular smoker in my life but I enjoy smoking a couple of cigarettes when I go out for a drink. I may also smoke a cigarette if I’m really depressed or stressed. I often go for weeks of months without smoking and in general I don’t find smoking more than a couple of cigarettes enjoyable. I have been smoking like that for about 4 years. How much does that habit actually harm my health?

A lot of smokers I know are also alcohol drinkers. Are smoking and alcohol drinking somehow connected? Will the treatment of one eventually lead to the dissipating of the other?

Jennifer P asked:


I know I am going to quit smoking. It seems like just when I think I am going to be able to quit, something changes in my life and I fall right back into the usual routine of smoking. What are some ways that some of you have successfully used to quit smoking?

Atheistic asked:


I live in Tennessee and our smoking ban comes into effect on October 1st of 2007, that is this Monday.
I have read that there are people who believe it is an attempt to legislate morality. In my opinion it would only be an attempt to legislate morality if it was an all encompassing ban on smoking like during the prohibition of alcohol. Since it doesn’t ban smoking outdoors or in ones own private spaces then it is only an attempt to preserve overall public health rather than an attempt to create a moral edict. What are your thoughts?
By the way I’m a non-smoker.

mmbeh asked:


I ask this because there are facts all over the internet on what smoking weed does too your intellectual abilities as well as your physical abilities. While they all say this though, none of them ever say if it is just the side-effect of smoking it and it goes away after a couple hours or is ur memory “permanently” damaged for life? Or does it damage but your brain rebuilds itself over a period of time?

Do station staff general request anyone smoking to put it out, or do they just turn a blind eye?

pretty_in_pink_pa asked:


I quit smoking on April 2 of this year so I have a little over two months quit now. Just wondering if anyone out there has lost weight after quitting and if so how long did you wait to “diet” after becoming smoke free? I don’t want to start to cut back on food too soon and end up tempting myself into smoking. But I don’t want to use my quitting smoking as an excuse to eat like a hog forever either. Oh, I’m so freaking confused!!! Any REAL answers would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Maakies asked:


I know of two guys in my life that won’t quit smoking. I don’t think they believe it’s important to quit smoking. I’m afraid that they will have serious health problems or cause the health problems of family members that live with them.
Another thing I forgot to mention, I gave up the nagging to stop smoking. It makes them want to … be … you know … violent. They don’t want to hear how it is bad for them.
Okay okay, this is very important to me. Don’t tell me I cant help them. One of them is my father who smoked with my great grandmother who died of a bad case of lung cancer. Even when she was in the hospital she refused medical help. I am not letting it happen again.

Lots of cities now have laws against smoking indoors, but if you smoke outside, it still goes somewhere, right? Could it have a measurable environmental impact?
(Full disclosure: I am a non-smoker who hates being around smoke.)

Please don’t say something like they are good when you are nervous,when you are drinking alcohol, or after sex. I want to know if they are any genuine benefits of smoking.
