It's amazing the problems many teens are facing with alcohol. Last year, i knew two girls (one of which i still regularly associate with), one 15 years old and one 16 years old, who even at that age already had attended AA meetings. Both are also regular smokers, surprise surprise. |
wow... I started drinking.. and heavily about 18 or so... but wasn't smart enough to go to AA myself for almost 10 years  It is something to see how young people start with not just drinking.. but really drinking

I myself was beginning to have an alcohol problem, as well as taking up social smoking again. But before the alcohol became a problem (which it was beginning to around july last year), i took it upon myself to stay sober for a set period of time, even at parties where almost all my friends would be drinking at. I also decided to finally quit smoking all together last month, no more social smoking for me  . Since last month, i even just have this better overal feeling of healthiness, of course aided by the fact i exercise more now as well and eat better.
But as it was, both these girls since have began to drink less, although unforunately still continue to get wasted at least once a week. And the girl that was 15 at the time she attended AA (she is now 16), made a vow to never smoke again for her new years resolution. She lasted a few days, and is already smoking again  |

¡¡¡REALLY!!!... I've always pictured as the exact opposite of that self description. Back when I was a smoker (until last year), I always smoked ouside, in one places, and far away from children or non smokers, etc. I can't understand how smokers can smoke indoors. That's horrible. And I used to like smoking... anyway, now I hate it and I wish I would never started it in the first place. I was just over exposed to it and now I realize how "contagious" can it be.

Although being a former smoker (as i pointed out on the previous page), i now tend to regard smoking as a highly seflish act. I ask many smokers why they smoke and why they continue to do so. One response is typically "Well it's my body it's damaging" "It's my choice" . The latter being one of the most incredibly selfish things i have ever heard. While it may be the smokers choice to smoke, do they ever take a moment to think about the effects it has on other people who make the choice not to smoke? Examples: Perhaps a child's parent smokes. While it may be the choice of the parent to smoke, it is not the child's choice to have to breath in second hand smoke if they are in a situation in which it is unavoidable. It may be the parents choice to smoke, but is it their child's choice their parent will most likely either succumb to a serious illness, with the child having to bear the pain of watching their parent go through that, or that they have to attend a funeral service 5 to 30 years earlier than if their parent didn't smoke? no it is not their choice at all their child that hopefully is smart enough not to take the habit up, has to live with the pain of their parents selfish choice in life. The list of how smoking affects those who do not make that selfish choice in life go on and on, i could continue for the next 2 hours.
So before anyone here on Progarchives ever takes another drag, please, find a moment to think about what i said, and to do what's best for not only you (not smoking), but anyone else who truly cares about you.

I smoked once, a Black and Mild. I did it because they smell good from a distance. I didn't get much of anything out of it, but I would consider trying one again.

Having grown up with parents and grandparents that smoked (from the Kentucky area, go figure, Carrollton, where my parents grew up had lots of tobacco warehouses), going on family road trips and choking on the fumes kind of conditioned me against it. I took a drag off a cig once as a kid and pretty much cured me of any interest in taking up the habit. My wife started in college has quit twice, but recently is back on. Arrrgh! @#%$*@&*@^@*!%*@@~*&!

I hate how smoking has doubled the effective age of some of my relatives, so I will not be taking it up anytime soon. My only vice is soda. Love me some coke. Drink about 5 12ozs a day.

I'm pretty sure my Cocacola habit gave me type 2 diabetes. Can we say "high fructose corn syrup"?

When you start to smoke actual camels, then we will begin to worry about you.
