Is social-smoking THAT bad for you?!


Question: Is social-smoking THAT bad for you!?
I'm 17 (18 in a couple of months)!. I'm not addicted to cigarettes, I could stop any time, I just like smoking and don't think it does THAT much damage!. I've been smoking occasionally, for 2 years now!. A cigarette with a coffee, a few at parties with drinks,etc!. In the last year I've had about 6 packs!. I know that smoking is really bad for you, but is social-smoking just as bad!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Nah, 6 packs in a year is nothing!. The only problem is it can become a habit at any time!. eg!. loved one passes, you find smoking takes the edge off!.

I was a casual smoker for 2 years until I started properly!. If you keep a grip on it then fine!. Just don't let it get a grip on you!.

How much poison is ok!? I guess if you only drink Lysol on weekends, it is ok!. If you only have occasional sex with a leper, what is the harm!?
The big problem is not so much smoking "socially" but that you get addicted really easy!. If you don't believe it, why would tobacco companies spend millions and millions to encourage kids to smoke because it is so COOL!? You think they are in it for the fun!?
Smoking damages your lungs, your brain, your heart- stuff you will need one day!. It damages your ability to exercise to metabolize food right, to thinks straight!. It is POISON!
I think it is fine!. You are unbreakable and bullet-proof!. Bad things happen to other people, not you!. I think you should drink and do drugs -try acid-it is really exciting-and have loads of sex with just anybody, too!. It's fun!. Why not eat wild mushrooms, wash em down with Clorox, while you stand in traffic!? Cool!
One of these days, you will grow up and look back on what stupid *&^ you did and wonder how in the world you made it to age 21 without dying or having convulsions or a car wreck or 3 babies you didn't want!.

I don't think it is all that bad, hell I live in Houston TX right now and the air is so bad at times that breathing in a forest fire would be healthier would be better!.

Smoking that little is doing nothing more than making your mouth taste like an ashtray to a guy (or girl -- don't know or care which way you swing) when you kiss him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

All smoke you inhale goes straight to your lungs and affects your health!. There's many videos on it- search online for them :)
