How to talk to a friend
    #7682289 - 11/26/07 03:41 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I have a friend who, for the past couple months, has been smoking about a pack a day... I've talked to him before about it, telling him the obvious ("you're gonna get cancer if you keep doing this") but he doesn't seem to care. He just says "Well, I don't care... we're all gonna die sometime, right? Non-smokers die too!". He doesn't realize that doing this doesn't affect just him... it affects everyone, his family, and ME. I can't stand knowing that I'll, at some point, be without him... he's my best friend, and we've been friends for a long time. He has a very impulsive personality, and has hardly any self control. I mean, I'll smoke a cigarette every now and then (maybe once every few weeks, when I'm hanging around with friends), but I NEVER feel the urge to do it again. Maybe it's hard for him to stop if he sees me doing it to, and thinks I'm being hypocritical? I just don't know what to do... I don't know how to get through to him...


--------------------
I'm in need of a sterile sporeprint, if anyone wants to do a trade for some seeds or something, or maybe just for free if you have a lot of them............. i'd really appreciate it :mushroom2:

It is his choice. You expressed your opinion to him and obviously it made no difference.  Leave him be and live your own life.  I hate when people tell me how to live mine.:stoned:

all you have to do is tell him once to plant the seed. youve done that. if his mind is fertile enough your seed will grow.

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

It's just ciggarettes. Who cares. He's not destined to die from cancer at a sad young age because he decided to pick up smoking.

i dont think you should care too much about his smoking.

if he was fat would you tell him to lose weight every day?

siek,

even if he does continue smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, he probably won't get cancer until he's 60. some people never even get cancer. my grandma has smoked a pack a day since she was 13 and she is 95 and still kicking like a mule.

besides, you guys will probably get married before your 30's and no longer be friends anyway. marriage > friends

I'm not gay, it's just that he's been my friend for a long time, and he's pretty much my ONLY friend... he's always been there for me, he's pretty much family. Anyway, I guess you're right, he's not going to just randomly die just because he smokes tobacco, plus he smokes a lot of weed, and I heard that the chance of lung cancer goes down if you smoke weed along with tobacco (I guess it's the CBD)... anyway, I guess it's more about getting him to think about his actions. It's a minor thing now, but he could really fuck up his life if he doesn't make some better decisions...

try thos nicotein filters, they are like plastic lil cigerats and you can use them as a sustitute untill you off.

it worked for my mom and she smoked like the devil seance she was 13.

her excuse was " i have been smoking seance i was 13"

but u havent seen her even with a lighter for a while. im really proud. cause i hate cigs

i tell them how i feel once, and then from that point on i just give them shit every time i see them smoking, make comments like "man, those things make youre breath smell like burning garbage" or "i see your teeth are an even darker shade of yellow today" :smile:

in the end its their lives and noone but themselves can make them quit. anyone who smokes commercial tobacco is an idiot. let them be one if thats what they want. maybe they want to get cancer and die young? ive been nagging at my parents for years, to no avail.

Hehe, I :heart: your avatar...

Anyway, the problem isn't that he CAN'T quit, it's just that he doesn't feel the need to.

But really, I don't really have much of a problem with TOBACCO, I mean, it's just a plant... its the chemicals and radioactive fertilizers that they put on it... well, both me and him are growing Rustica plants, and I've got plenty more seeds where those came from. Hopefully, I'll be able to get him to start using that. Homegrown Rustica means a greater nicotine/smoke ratio, and without all the bad pesticides and fertilizers.
