I don't smoke, and I never will!

I wouldn't make such promises if I were you.

Why is that? If people are talking about it, it means they are confident...
I won't start smoking either... I'd rather start drinking, I don't know how, than smoking.

Haha)) Drinking is no better than smoking. I smoke specifically after various outings for barbecues.

I wasn't saying that drinking is less harmful than smoking....
it's just that smoking causes more negativity... maybe because I see it more often than drunkenness... although drunk people can sometimes be annoying (mostly strangers, but even acquaintances can be)...

You know, friends... You're discussing two completely different things... Smoking and drunkenness simply cannot be compared! Smoking is a bad habit, yes, it's harmful, but it primarily harms the smoker themselves, and of course, those around them. But the harm from a cigarette cannot even be compared to the harm and consequences of drunkenness... They are simply incomparable! A person chooses for themselves whether or not to smoke; they know the consequences and voluntarily go for it. And to avoid harming others, it is enough to smoke in designated areas, away from others. Drinking can be done in moderation and on holidays. But if you exceed that limit... Not only does it destroy the body, but it also leads to the degradation of the personality. But the worst thing is not even that... Ultimately, it's the alcoholic's problem. The horror is that drunkenness leads to crimes... Because of it, people sell everything they can, all their property, apartments, and the worst thing is, even their children. But even more terrible is that murders are committed because of it... But have you ever heard of crimes being committed because of cigarettes?!
Besides, I'm not talking about smoking marijuana, etc., but specifically about cigarettes.
In short, that's all.

P.S. Personally, drunkenness irritates me, and alcoholics evoke exclusively negative emotions:mad:

I completely agree with Luchik.
Ar, who do you find more unpleasant to look at, a person who stepped out onto the balcony to smoke, or a stinky, hairy, beaten-up drunk?

actually, I wasn't referring to alcoholics, but simply to people who occasionally get drunk...
alcoholics, of course, are almost homeless people...

P.S. I agree about crimes and the fact that they start to degrade... but I really dislike the smell of cigarette smoke... and I was making a superficial comparison.

Well, people who occasionally get drunk represent a rather large category, you could even say the majority, especially during holidays, so that's understandable. But honestly, I'd rather watch someone smoke than watch them get drunk.

And I haven't had a drink for a year. But I've been smoking for 5 years and I don't plan on quitting.

I don't smoke, haven't even tried... maybe I'll smoke weed in the future...
but for now, I get enough from just getting drunk =).

And grass is several times worse than nicotine; I saw a classmate who smoked it, and he really became dull. And one of my friends used to do it, but he quit and now remembers it with disgust. It's better not to try it at all.

well, it depends on HOW you smoke. If you take long drags, you might need to call an ambulance afterward. But if you smoke a little and do it properly, there won't be much harm...

but basically, that's why I'm hesitant...

Yeah, as they say: I've been smoking weed for five years now, and I don't have any addiction!:D:D:D
I don't drink or smoke myself, but I spend a lot of time at the computer:

Hmm.
I’ve never respected smokers. I thought they were weak. Like they relieve stress. Can’t they do without a cigarette? Do they lack the willpower?
Then I changed my mind. I still don’t smoke. But I started to treat smokers without any particular feelings. Well, it’s their choice, let them smoke. It’s their life, their right.
Sometimes I feel the urge to smoke. For example, when I’m sad. Or when I’m exhausted after a hard day. But I still don’t allow myself to do it. I don’t want to gasp for air after my morning run…
But I drink… not that often. When I go for a walk, I often take a bottle or two of beer. But I never get “completely drunk.” Apparently, I inherited that from my father; nothing affects him except bitter drinks.

By the way, I also really dislike it when a girl smokes. That seems disgusting to me.
