Researchers Say Social Smoking Is Even Bad for You: Are You an Occasional Smoker?

There is nowhere to smoke in Australia anymore. Only outside.

not anymore

cigarettes just don't do it for me...I have never even had the desire to try one

I've never even put one of the nasty things in my mouth. I never liked kissed someone who smoked. My husband hasn't smoked in over 30 years.

I've never smoked, even walking by smoke causes irritation.

I used to enjoy smoking tobacco out of a hookah, but I hear doing that is far worse than smoking regular cigarettes. Nowadays I don't bother with any of it.

Terrible sentence structure, sort it out!

About once a month I'll smoke a briar pipe filled with a vanilla cavendish. I don't inhale, nor do most pipe smokers. Inhaling any burning cancer causing agent is harmful, no matter the amount. Even transmucosal absorption is introducing carcinogens into your body; of course it's harmful.

Over weight is bigger problem...what will you do about it? bark

P.S. Never forget, a woman is a woman but a cigar is a good smoke!

That''s a hell no. I can remember when I was a kid waking up in the morning and smelling the horrendous malodor of cigarettes and coffee. I absolutely hated it. I swore off both for life.

Coffee is actually good for you, though.

"Coffee is actually good for you, though."
Yes, in moderation.

...okay?

Okay.

well duh, the only reason this was posted was so the person could have some "happenings" and appear like they have some useful role to play on this site...
keep a watch on their next post which might go like this "researchers say sipping sulphuric acid can disfigure your tongue and cause death!!!! ?!?!?!"...come on people

Ive given up smoking again last July after other attempts that have lasted up to 2 years. The hardest thing is to not smoke when you drink alcohol, thats when you crumble. For me I think the only solution is to abstain from both.

I'm an any occasion smoker.

Forget cigarettes, researchers cause cancer.

No.
I'm not one of those ex-smokers who becomes a fanatic anti-smoker because, frankly, it's non of my business if someone else wants to smoke.

"The big question"? This is more like the big ass joke! Give me a break!

Gave up before I had my daughter and not had a smoke for 12 yrs .

Idk... I mean, I've smoked pot here and there, and I'm not exactly against doing it again, but I hardly ever do it, so does that even count?

Are you sure your not stoned now ? only kidding xxxSerenity

my body is a temple, not a smoke stack. Hell I only have about 2-3 drinks per month.

I am anti-smoking, anti-drinking of alcohol and anti-abusive relationships.
ALL CAN KILL!!

I'll admit that I still light up on occasion, but not even enough to be one pack a year. Know how much I care about the "health risks?" Not that much. I'm 34, I'm probably close to half done with this show as it is. If the smoke doesn't kill me, there's a million other things that will. None of them sound very pleasant. We all die and we all need to accept that fact. I'm watching my 84 year old Grandfather - a paragon of health and fitness - suffer from prostate problems, blood thinners, and slip into dementia. He's been the only father I've had, and talking to him the other day on Skype, he didn't even know who I was for 5 minutes. That's a better fate than cancer? I've heard some say that the mind is still there, but it can't get out. It's like being trapped in prison.

What was I saying? I could use a smoke right now.

Smoking overall is bad for you. Only one out of a thousand deliberate ways to die.

No smoking of anything ever for me...

Allergic to tobacco.

If it wasn't for those researchers how would we have ever figured this out?

and second hand smoke kills too.

The stuff you breathe in your daily traffic jam is worse.

Yeah and factories . My grandad worked at FORDS all his life retired and then died from cancer . He was T total and never smoked a day in his life so I think your spot on

YES, thank you!

Keep the excuses up to make it ok to smoke and add extra pollutants to your lungs.You can tell when someone smokes daily by the way their skin looks.cigs deplete the body of vitamins and minerals.You can also tell by the sound of a sratchy raspy voice.When someone coughs often and gasps for air while jogging or if they constantly have to stop to get air.

Never smoke, never have, never will.

I respect my body and other people's rights to breathe air that doesn't have cigarette smoke occasionally in it.

No such thing as social smoking, people eventually smoke more and more. There are over 4000 chemicals in cigarettes, you will eventually get hooked. Check the fact on smoking it is harder to get off of cigarettes than heroin.

Regular smoker...
