Well read up a website that it actually helps to fight depression despite all the health risks, people still continue smoking. Anyone is a hardcore smoker here?
...You sure it wasn't talking about smoking weed?
Because cigarettes have no health benefits, IIRC.

It fights depression because smoking can calm a person down, especially if they are stressed.
You'll often hear someone say "I'm so stressed I need a cigarette", but you have to also understand that part of that stress is caused by the nicotine addiction which can really be harmful.
Your better to not smoke at all than use it to feel better.

That's like saying "giving a fat person more food helps them" because it helps fight off THEIR depression.
I'm a 'hardcore' smoker, have smoked for 16 years, half my life.
No way does smoking relieve stress (same as depression in some cases?). It clogs your arteries up making the blood flow slower making your heart work harder/faster.
It dosen't make time go quicker, it dosent make that difficult task any easier.
Its not as addictive as people think; smokers go for approx 8 hours every 24 without a fag. Thats when they are asleep and they dont wake up to sort their craving out either like for eg an heroin addict would.

Smoking dont have any benefit at all, i know, i happen to be smoking. Less than before but still. It only give a bad breath, bad lung and bad wallet.
Relaxation (originally, that is until you are addicted apparently) and the girls will think you are the coolest guy

Nicotine relaxes like any other drug, after becoming an addict you just need nicotine to feel "normal", just as with any other drug.
"It doesn't control me, I can quit whenever I want, but why should I, it's fun, I like it, I got no problem!" ... Yeah...
Smoking helps you with nothing. The only benefit is for the industry that sells them. They have the benefit of being able to sell you a legal drug, something you will willing buy nonetheless and be ready to pay more just because you are addicted to it. These guys are no better than the one at the corner of a shady street selling "moodlifters". And they are not really concerned at what age you start.
If you quit smoking, depending on how long you have been addicted you may gain weight, as your metabolism has accustomed to the nicotine and has to adjust itself again. Seeing how many overweights are smoking, it certainly does not help you loosing anything but quality of life.
[Drink a lot (water!!), get some exercise, drive it out of your body. Some people think they will eat more or they replace their cigs with chocolate - maybe, but as you should always watch what your eating... spend the money you save from not smoking on apples, carrots or whatever you prefer and nibble them whenever your fingers and lips feel "bored" missing the routine of smoking - part of the psychological portion of the addiction.]
Regarding smoking teenage girls, don't forget to tell them that they would maybe (!) become slim 20y. olds - looking like 20.
Nicotine is a cytotoxin, it attacks the cells of your body - including those of your skin.

Alzeihmers. Probably coz you die of lung cancer first tbh.
Add a black coffee to a smoke and you have a nice replacement meal instead of lunch. The combination caffeine and nicotine is a killer for feeling hungry trust me.
Don't do it. Just about everyone I've ever talked to has regretted smoking, and I've been given advice multiple times saying "never start", because it's a bitch to quit.
Remember Me As A Time Of Day
Just dont get addicted, simple.
For me, I'm not properly addicted. Infact last time I smoked was now a week ago, but:
- It can calm down the nerves
- It can give you a little bit of an extra buzz when coupled with drinking alot
- It gives you something to do if you're a person that can't sit still for long and just chill (me), and coupled with it calming you down. It works well. This new law that makes you go outside to smoke actually works out quite well for people like me
- It works well socially, hard to explain, but it does for me
Those aren't really health benefits, more like just benefits

Actually, smoking has been known to lessen the incidence of Ulcerative Colitis. Some doctors say that it helps relieve the symptoms. Of course the negative effects far outweigh the benefits, but that is one benefit.
Docotrs arent sure why it does work, one visiting scientist at our work theorised that it may be increased mucous in the bowel caused by smoking that relieves ulcerative colitis.

Yes. It reduces stress.

1 Only for a smoker really - if you count the first five cigs for a starting smoker then maybe...Mek-Stizzle wrote:

2 Actually alcohol goes in the same receptors as nicotine and blocks them for anything else. You should have to smoke more for the same/usual effect.
3 Well, right - but why not play Tetris? ;o) Seriously, finding something to do other than smoking can't be that hard?
4 If you have nothing else to give than canc.. cigs maybe - or if you are to shy/uncreative - no offense but buying sex/friends with cancer? (sure, exaggerated)
