Yeah, she sounds like she is in denial. But some people just don't give a fuck, and you gotta respect that about a person sometimes.

We (smokers) usually start smoking at an age too young to realize what we get ourselves into. And at that point we're addicted.
I have to assume that there are ignorant individuals who smoke, but most of us do it because of the addiction...question answered...

IMO most people are young and ignorant when they start and its too late/too difficult to stop once they realize how harmful they really are

oh shut up, you post in ODD that you are trying crack for the first time and you are here worried about cigarettes?
i find cigarettes pointless, and i have better things to spend my money on.
i like a good cigar, and i have a small nice humidor that meets my needs. i however only smoke those occasionally, and if i am going to spend money for the drug tobacco i expect quality, and i dont buy expensive ass cigars, but i do love one every now and then, and they feel good.
cigarettes, they seem pointless and taste not great. for 4-5 bucks a pack i can get a good cigar and really enjoy it.

Humans are extremely poor at making long term decisions... but then again, here I am as a smoker. Although... haven't smoked today at all - although I have smoked some hookah. Trying to break the nicotine habit with hookah replacement on the assumption that hookah has far less nicotine than hookah and I dont do it throughout the day.

Humans are ignorant as fuck. Since we don't have the ability to see what our lungs like, people don't really understand the dangers of smoking. Many of us know people who smoke, and they appear 100% okay, despite them having to leave the room every hour for a 'smoke'.
We seem to be a society that believes in what we see, more than 'facts'. If cigarettes automatically made people faint after the first puff-then you'd see some change...but until then, society is going to keep smoking and smoking until 'Doc' diagnoses them with emphysema and they are forced to quit.

I smoke because I enjoy it, and I don't give a fuck. PS I've been sick once in the past 14 years and I don't go to the doctor or take prescription anything really. So I consider that pretty good, considering I know non smokers who get sick every other week I don't care if smoking makes me live to 78 instead of 84... if I live past 50 it will be a miracle anyway. I'm 27 and by all accounts I should have been dead about 5 years ago. So every day past 30 will be like shizaBAM. Life is for living. In short, F U I DO WHAT I WANT

Most smokers know that its unhealthy. But is enjoyable and its also addictive, both of these things combine to make it hard to quit.

I don't smoke, on the account that I think it's a fucking stupid thing to do.
I do however, fully support the choice of people to do whatever fucking stupid things they'd like to their own bodies.

I am a smoker and have been for a few years now. I gotta admit that I started smoking to look cool, but now I really do enjoy it. I have had many chances to quit but really have had no want to quit. I know how bad it is and I'm not ignorant, I guess I'm just one of those smokers who dont give a fuck, plus smoking cigarettes under the influence of almost all substances can be very enjoyable and the tiny bit of added light headedness is always quite a delight, not to mention hallucinating while smoking under a blacklight =D
oh, its my first post, i guess im busting my post cherry here =D

Then why is it that cannabis doesn't kill huh? Cannabis has much more tar, yet it is actually beneficial to the lungs to smoke it, as it is a bronchiodilatior.

Rest assured that smoking any plant may cause cancer. Yes, that includes cannabis (hate to break your bubble). And although nicotine is a poison, it is extremely rare that a smoker succumbs to the direct effects of the nicotine itself; it's usually the problems resulting from inhaling smoke.

As an asthmatic, I can explain to you in detail how short-lived this effect is and what the long-term effects on the lungs are of smoking (even pure) cannabis. In short: "not so good". Vaporizing and eating are much better ways.

As a fellow asthmatic for the last 10 years of my life not a single med any doc has given me has helped me to breathe as well as cannabis, regardless how long I took the daily meds. Smoking any plant matter may cause cancer, but the bronchodialation from weed smoke helps expand your lungs and clears out any dead/cancerous cells that may be inhibiting your lungs. Hate to break your bubble.

That's a pity. Formoterol works very good for me, much better than cannabis; it provides instant relief, lasting up to 14 hours and it continues to be effective after long periods of use. But without the dangerous side effects of smoking plant matter. Regrettably also without stonedness, of course.

For the latter statement, I would like to see some support. I'm critical towards it and I'm yet unaware of any reliable studies that would warrant such a claim.

"THC has been shown to promote apoptosis (damaged cells die instead of reproducing) and to counter angiogenesis (the process by which blood vessels are formed —a requirement of tumor growth). Other antioxidants in cannabis may also be involved in countering malignancy, said Tashkin."

http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/142121/more_evidence_that_marijuana_prevents_cancer/
From that source:
Quote:
Tobacco smokers who also smoked marijuana were at slightly lower risk of getting lung cancer than tobacco-only smokers.
Although undoubtedly significant, it remains questionable if a 'slightly lower risk' can be replicated in any further research.
However, I find this bit on COPD particularly interesting:
Quote:
Tashkin and colleagues at UCLA conducted a major study in which they measured lung function of various cohorts over eight years and found that tobacco-only smokers had an accelerated rate of decline, but marijuana smokers –even if they smoked tobacco as well– experienced the same rate of decline as non-smokers.
That's interesting. I wish I could share that observation in my own case.
@blazenn: see above; you essentially quote the same source. The remarks regarding THC are interesting and they're new to me. Some care must be taken towards drawing conclusions based on the remarks regarding anti-oxidants. Some anti-oxidants have been shown to act as pro-oxidants in some cases by studies back in the early nineties as well as recent studies.
Viewing this piece of research critically, I'd say this leaves a neutral effect of cannabis smoking with regard to lung cancer in non-tobacco smokers and at best a slight improvement in tobacco smokers. The results with regard to other forms of cancer are actually more interesting. I wonder what role stress plays in that story and the stress-reducing effects of cannabis.
Thanks for supporting your claims. I learned something today.

Rest assured that smoking any plant may cause cancer. Yes, that includes cannabis (hate to break your bubble). And although nicotine is a poison, it is extremely rare that a smoker succumbs to the direct effects of the nicotine itself; it's usually the problems resulting from inhaling smoke.
Cannabis (and THC specifically) has powerful anticancer properties that are not yet well understood.
Yes, cannabis smoke contains many of the same carcinogens and suspected carcinogens that are found in tobacco smoke (the notable¬eworthy exceptions being the TSNs that are present in tobacco - these are what cause cancer in users of dip/chew. Snus, the only form of oral tobacco which is associated with zero increased risk of cancer, is specially fermented to have extremely low concentrations of TSNs). But the fact is, smoking anything can cause cancers to develope; the combustion byproducts inevitably include PAHs, which have a tendency to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and/or teratogenic.
It's even been demonstrated the smoking cannabis causes precancerous lesions in the lungs. When Tashkin and his group undertook the study koraks just quoted, he very fully expected to find a link between cannabis smoking and cancer. For years he had been trying to link cannabis with cancer, and thought he'd all but put the nail in the coffin when he demonstrated that it causes precancerous lesions.
But the cool thing is, THC (and possibly other cannabinoids) are such powerful anticancer agents that they prevent these precancerous lesions from becoming cancerous masses. No increased risk of cancer from smoking cannabis . Neat stuff, THC.
