Does smoking make you look cool?

Not from my perspective. I can't explain it, but I have yet to see a woman that I think looks sexy with a cigarette in her mouth. It's not a smell thing, a health thing, a cigarette-breath thing. It's purely asthetic and for some reason that's beyond my comprehension, it looks completely unattractive to me.

And yet he's offered me one. I have even less reason to smoke now, yay!

As GD said before he smokes an occasional clove. I don't mind the smell if I'm standing next to him, but I no longer let him kiss me immediately afterwards. It fades to an acceptable level soon afterward.

It's funny, I never thought of it that way. I actually agree with Steph for the most part - that seeing someone smoke reminds me of the unhealthy nature of it. But when you put it that way I realize that's a programmed response. Why don't I feel that way when I see someone eat something unhealthy, or drink, or do other recreational drugs for that matter? Totally programmed. Again, it may be because of my parents.

I also dislike the idea of being an addict to anything, as I've said a million times about coffee - but now I drink coffee or tea almost every day.

The pictures that Euro posted are sexy to me but not because of the cigarrette. If you crop out the cig in either shot the sex appeal goes WAY up for me.

Surprisingly, most of the people I know find smoking pointless and stupid.


Getting high is much more popular and cool.

My 19 year old brother (and possibly my 18 year old brother as well) just started smoking cigarrettes. His gateway drug was pot, believe it or not. He enjoyed the feeling of having an offered cig when he was high, and that led to purchasing a pack for everyday use.
