Say No to smoking!!!

I was a regular smoker

It all started when I was in high school, going around with friends and when one started smoking we all followed, at the time it was just for show off and stuff, but know the saying” one rotten apple spoils the whole
bucket of apples” SO I got addicted to it.

In doing my first job, I decide to quit smoking, it wasn’t easy, all the smokers would agree with me, when you tend to leave smoking there are certain problem like “you don’t feel the pressure down there”.

For me, when I felt to smoke, I used to chew a lot of mouth fresheners and divert my mind by moving on from that location

I've never really seen the appealing in smoking. I always found it to be kind of disgusting, mainly the smell. I had an aunt that smoked and I hated when she smoked when I was around, because of the unbearable smell. I guess some people think it's considered cool and do it, but I just think it's pretty lame in general.

It's not cool once you've not tasted it and that's the reason I always wish to stop smoking entirely. It hasn't been that easy for me at the moment and I hope to sort things out soon as well.

My parents and my brothers all smoked, they started pretty much the same way everyone does, friends would smoke and they would follow in suit to be in with the crowd. I was the only one who never took the plunge and did it and I feel that was because I had watched my Mum on numerous occasions try to quit and could never do it and I swore I never wanted to be in that position. I had friends who would smoke and would push me to smoke but I never caved in, always stood my ground, they would tell me that they wouldn't be my friend if I didn't try and I took that chance and still told them no. Still to this day I am still friends with most of them, others I am not because I lost contact.

My Mum and Dad both quit smoking nearly 6 years ago now and my youngest brother quit a few years ago, they are all a lot happier now they do not smoke.

It's always best to say no, in the end it's your health and your life and only you can make those choices.

It's nice to read that your family members have finally quit smoking and I'm looking for that moment where I can say that I've finally quit doing that. I hope to find it soon.

Well, I am not a smoker. I didn't smoke. Actually I don't like smoking. My father was a smoker but he give up the bad habit. Now we don't have any smoker in our family Say No to smoking!!! But some of my friends are smoker. They are addicted to it ! I have advised them to give up the bad habit but they didn't do that. However, smoking is injurious to health. We all should avoid this bad habit.

I'm not a smoker but sad to say, my father died from dreadful disease out of smoking. My mother also died from second-hand smoke before she died, it was discussed to us that she lost her right side lung and the other is just like a sponge. Just Imagine the hazard it could do to you and your family. There is nothing hard in quitting to smoke if you realize that your family is also at stake. I know there could be another way to cut the bad habit.

I am no smoker because my grandfather died due to his lungs being damaged as he was a compulsive smoker. My dad and uncles do not smoke too after that incident happened.

I am pretty happy because I have never actually smoked. I remember my high school days though when my friends started. We were only around 13 years old and half of my class was smoking like mad. It never appealed to me. It's expensive, it's extremely bad for your health, you smell horrible... what's the point? If it's purely to ''relax'' then you can use other things to do so.

My father used to smoke and I remember how much he struggled to quit. He used the nicotine gums - I can't remember the brand but they helped A LOT.

As for me,and my friends, we started smoking while we were children. We would roll papers and smoke at first, before we graduated to the real deal. This is because we watched our uncles do it, and so thought it was cool.

But that was only cigarettes. In high school, I started smoking weed, despite numerous advices from parents, teachers and concerned adults, discouraging from that habit. However, am glad that God did not give up on me, and He snatched me before I got overly addicted.

Well, I still get the temptations to smoke, especially weed, but am glad God gives me the strength to say a big fat no. I really wish that smoking would be banned and the peddlers punished severely if caught selling.

I tried smoking when I was in high school, but never saw the bid deal on it. My grandparents and my dad used to smoke a lot, so I remember my grandpa used to have this tobacco smell, like a signature. So eventually they all got sick, including my dad, he had a heart attack, a very serious one, and he had to choose, tobacco or life. I can't deny it, hardest time of our lives ever, helping him to get rid of all his bad habits, smoking included. He is healthier now, checking out every year, doing his annual tests, and if could do it, anyone can, a very important part is that your family and friends help you and support you.

Smoking is one of the favorite past time of other people even though they know that smoking is dangerous to health. Sometimes I've got curious what's the feeling of smoking. But then, I always keep in my mind that, if I'm going to be addicted to smoking, I'll become dead so easily. So for those who are curious to smoke, it's not bad to try it. But as an advice, don't get addicted to it. And for the smokers in almost several years, I hope you understand the consequences if you don't take action right now.

Never tried even think of attempting one. I really have a sensitive type of smell that whenever I inhale the smoke of it I clearly can't breath and start to cough. Always been trying to avoid people who are smoking as that was most dangerous than having a smoke as it was unfiltered. Also I do always lose my appetite whenever I smell the smoke whenever I'm eating, I leave my food for a while gets back after the smoker finish his/her cigar. Most of the time though I can't complain to it because its one of the higher ups of the company but I'm quite used to it already.

My dad was a smoker for many years, and one day he said to himself "man, I look stupid with this in my hand" and in that moment he decided to stop smoking, that happened like 10 years ago and he hasn't had a cigarrete since then. I think for him it wasn't hard, I don't know how he managed to do it but I honestly don't remember him suffering because of not being able to smoke. I know this can be very hard for people and some go back to smoking but there are some things that can help to make this process a little less hard and at the end it's going to be worth it.

I never even started, because there are no benefits but it makes you lose your health and it's also very, very expensive. I don't think that it would be a good idea to ban smoking completely and make the sale of tobacco illegal, because while I don't like restricting what people can and are able to do to themselves, smoking harms other people as well and that I cannot tolerate!

I am not a smoker too.. there are billions of smokers today. Say no to smoking, if you want to live a normal healthy life free from diseases. Stop spending your money on purchasing an item which is not only risking your life by unintentionally inviting numerous diseases to attack your body but also risking the lives of other people who are forced inhale the second hand smoke, which is dangerous than smoking.

I'm never been smoked in my life. Because I know I do this thing it will cause danger in my life, and I value my life I take care of it. So I'm against into smoking. Live a happy live so that you will never regret it.

Say a BIG NO! to smoking, because it is dangerous to your health and to the people around you. Recent studies also tells us that 2nd hand and 3rd hand smoker are more prone to lung cancer. It is a major problem now in most countries over the world. Taking cigarettes also lessens the life expectancy of a man. I don't know whag people get when they smoke. Maybe they look cool smoking? I think not.

I absolutely hate smoking. It is not only something that makes your life shorter but also a huge waste of money. I have never smoked because I hate smoke and it makes me feel terrible to even pass by a person who is smoking. I have had a trip to a hospital in college and a scientist who worked there told us that the DNA of a person gets damaged when the person smokes and that is very easy to get a cancer this way. I don't see any point in smoking. If people do this to calm down there are literally tons of other ways to get calmer.

I think smoking hasn't died off yet. It's just gone underground. Smokers are met with scorn most places they go. Cigarettes are SUPER expensive these days. Especially if you live in the big city. It's a foolish thing to do to ones body for sure but smokers will never go away completely. The governments need that tax revenue from cigarette buyers way too badly. They may preach for kids not to smoke, or minors. But they secretly want responsible adults to light up.

There is really a withdrawal symptom when you started to quit smoking. You have to make it sure that when you do it you are psychologically, physical and emotionaly prepared.

I have tried smoking during the time when i was depressed and when i'm drinking. But i didn't get addicted to it maybe because i really don't like seeing people smoke, i don't like the smell of their body specially their breath. Which i know i smell too when i smoke that's why i don't really get used to smoking. My brothers are smoker since they were studying and one of them experience bad health lately and decided to quit. He say it is really hard. There's withdrawal stage where he experience headache and hard breathing. He just make himself busy to divert his mind. And just sets himself in quitting. I think you can do it if you really want to. Just set your mind on it and try not to be with your friends who smoke so you won't get tempted. Maybe until you can say to yourself that you can already do it.

I couldn't agree more to this notion. I'm not anti-smoker but definitely an anti-smoking. I hope people would realize that smoking has a long term effect on them and unfortunately to others. I even made my dad quit it last year after being a chainsmoker for 40 years. I explained to him that it's not gonna be just him who will suffer in the future but also us his children and grandchildren. The smoke from cigarettes are not like the smoke from vehicles. It contains a hazardous substance called nicotine.

So please, let's create a healthier world. Stop smoking. Or at the very least, smoke at your own risk.

I never smoke and will never smoke. I hate the smell of it. For me people who smoke are silently killing their selves. Smoking is a waste of money and time for me.

Definitely yes. I'm not against in smokers, I have a lot of friends that smokes, but I really don't like it and will never try it. Most of them, their reason is smoking help them to relieve stress. I found it true but for me, there's a lot that you can do to relieve stress right? I just don't get it. And its smell really bad in their mouth. My girlfriend is smoker before but I did changed her. I just care for her, I really thought she will have a major disease in her middle of age or worst, she will die early and I will be alone. I don't want to come in that point, I just prevent that will make happen.

for me i'm not a smoker but if your planning to quit try little buy little you cannot quit immediately because your body will find the cigarette taste so take it slowly but surely you should think about your health my friend maybe today you are younger and stronger but if you reach 50's or 60's you might acquire lungs cancer so try to stop if you can.

I'm not a smoker and I hate smoking. It does nothing good to our body, it will just destroy your lungs that could also affect different organs in your body. My father is a smoker, everytime I ask him what he gets from smoking he says he do it to release stress. Honestly, I dont get it. For me, smoking is a bad habit that will never be good to anyone.

I don't smoke and I would never try it by God's grace but my dad smokes and he can't stop. I hate to see him smoke and I always pray that he changes. It's not healthy one bit. I destroys your lungs and you will be liable to die young. It does more harm than any comfort that it gives.

My father was a smoker for many years but he stop now. My grand father was a smoker too but also he had to stop now because of health problem and also of his age. and I? I don't smoke. I try to smoke but just to remove my curiosity about the taste and the good thing(if there's good thing) of smoking. I dont know but when you are not a smoker, you'll just don't like the taste of smoke. Plus the bad news about smoking, in terms of health.that is a BIG no no for me.

Smoking leads to many disease, it can cause cancer to the lungs and liver. Wasting of money through cigarettes leads to serious illness...WHY need to smoke anyway?.

I seen young and adults guys on streets. How i wish i could tell them hey, quit smoking now! or else you will end 6 feet under the ground for patronizing that thing in your mouth.

There was a time in my life, when I was being a rebellious teenager, when I tried all kinds of cigarettes just out of curiosity. Almost all brands being sold here in my country, I have tasted. As a medical student through, I knew what I was doing was both unhealthy to me and the people I surround myself. I also hated the fact that it leaves an awful taste on my tongue and an awkward feeling on my nose. I eventually came round and was able to stop easily since I wasn't a chain smoker at all. I was just a curious girl, wanted to have some adventure and to be naughty once in a while. I know it was not worth it though but I learned from that experience.

I was really never a smoker, until I met the precious Black and Mild..... I will say, never Again! I noticed that it was just not for me. I used to love to look cool and all that but smoking really puts a toll on your lungs. I was inhaling those cigars and I used to get nose bleeds out of nowhere. I am so glad I quit.... COLD TURKEY!!!

I still smoke up until now. I started smoking when I was still in high school. It's all about curiousity. I hope someday I will be able to motivate my self to say no to smoking and eventually quit.

Smoking is never a good thing to participate in as it is very obvious that it endangers ones health and life. Some health ministry would tell you that those that smoke are liable to die young.

It has been a proven fact and findings that smoking causes cancer of the lungs but I still keep wondering why would someone keep consuming what he or she is aware that has the capacity to kill them? Is it ignorance or negligence? I don't know but I would say that people should value their lives.

Addiction. They cannot control their addition to cigars even though they know that it would only cause nothing good for their health. They are being dependent to cigarettes despite being aware of its effect. Well, if only they can learn to discipline themselves, they will able to stop smoking gradually.

I don't have any vice's, but i saw a family friend die from drinking and smoking. I have been against to any vice's since you won't have a good benefit to it. I don't want to die early like they did so i wan't to be healthy. I might drink in the near future but not that hard, but i will never smoke just for my family.

Definitely I'm not going to try to smoke as I can't really breath that well when I inhale the smoke of cigarette from a smoking person near me. I don't know how the hell they can smoke at all as its clearly not good for their own body. Lots of illnesses develop not only on the lungs but outer part of the body.

I did try smoking but I just don't like the taste of it, like it's disgusting but I've tried its alternatives. Some alternatives I've tried that I'm sure I can use for the rest of my life is the Vape. I've been using this Vape for almost a year and it never disappoint me in terms of the taste because it has variety of flavors that you can choose from.

I'm proud to say that I quit smoking, many years ago now. We have to do this for our health and for our family because taking care of our health is also taking care of our family. It's definitely not healthy for our lungs. So I'm gonna say that you should stop smoking as well before it's too late.

Yes of course, said no to smoking!!!!!! I have never smoke before and I know that I will not someday, shocks I can't really imagine myself doing it and even just smelling the smoke of it or even the cigarette itself is not what I want to smell, it is just something that I hope never invented in some ways for it can kill people lives such as giving as lung cancer and so on. But it is so sad that a lot of people still smoke despite of concerns given by the government like putting what possible scenarios may happened to you if you smoke but I guess it doesn't work for some people and tend to still smoke and smoke whatever. Even some young people even teenagers are smoking in a very young age which is so sad, I hope sooner or later they will realize that there is no smoking can do good. God bless everyone and thanks.

Let people live their lives. We can't stop them to smoke. As long as the money they use to buy cigarettes came from their own pocket. We can't say that it's a waste of money because they work for it and also for health issues. From the start they know the consequences before committing to it.

Absolutely,it should be sounded loud and clear to all smokers both primary and secondary smokers.Smoking is dangerous to one's health.I don't mean to judge but what is the whole essence of smoking.And to crown it all one that finds his or her self in a smoking arena is even more prone to lung cancer so even being a passive smoker is more dangerous.

If there's a way it should be totally banned, I wouldn't mind because everyone is affected both smokers and non-smokers.

I began smoking few years ago and down the line, I've struggled to quit and it's not that I don't desire to do so, but as a result of the fact that some moments always make it come to pass. I'm looking forward to that day I can quit as well.

A long time ago - a close relative of mine smoked cigarettes off and on for a few months but was eventually able to kick the habit - and has been tobacco free for going on 35 years now. So it can be done. Just takes strong will, determination and discipline.

Smoking is very dangerous to health and can kill fast. According to the federal ministry of information and culture, smokers are liable to die young. Smokers have no life and can only live a very short life. Despite all warnings, some people who have become addicted to smoking cannot stop smoking. It's become a habit with them. To smokers, smoking has become like eating favourite foods and can't be stopped. If it can be stopped, it's better, but if it can't be, there's a risk ahead.

What? Why do I need to say No for a smoke? Since I really love to smoke, I think that it is pretty abstract to say yes or no for that thing since I love to smoke a little joint or CBD oil with help of Vape. However, I think about buying some CBD oil for a smoke and actually when I asked my friend about it, he gave me some sources where I can find this thing, so I've found an article "a liquid from the vape with the content of CBD" that consist a lot of pretty useful information, so if anyone would love for a smoke, feel free to try it.

I'm a ten-year-old smoker. I started Smoking cigarettes at school. I liked the process of Smoking and the way I looked with a cigarette. Once I felt bad and went to the hospital. It turned out that I had problems with my lungs and I had an operation. After that, I quit Smoking and will never start again. But something else happened. After that, I started having panic attacks. I didn't feel well. My friend recommended me the best CBD oil for nerve pain. I am very happy with this medicine. And all who need to, too, advise.

You had a pretty hard method my friend, but if it worked, that means that you are true man, confident, and you have steel nerves. Personally I was more inventive and decided to play with my mind a little bit. So I took a 3l can and said that, when I will fill it up with cigarette butts, I will quit smoking. So I started, day by day I was filling it, but at that time I was decreasing the number of cigarettes per day until I reached 2 per day. When I filled the can, I could not smoke anymore. Also my friend is trying to quit smoking and he changed cigarettes on vapes from vaporsolo, I think it is going to work, because, vape has less nicotine, it is less toxic and it is also less addictive.

I understand that it is hard to quit. I’ve been in your shoes and had may attempts before I actually quit smoking for good. My experience showed that trying to replace cigarettes with candies and some other foods, doesn’t really help you, except that you will gain some extra weight. When I quit smoking, I set a date (for me it was moving from the UK to the USA day, like a new country and no bad habits). Before this day came, I smoked a lot. On my moving day, I smoked my very last cigarette, and never after that, I switched to vape. I ordered some vape cartridges online on knockoutcbd, and after that, I don’t smoke cigarettes anymore.

It is always very important to make a choice in favor of your health. As a rule, we pick up the habit of smoking from our immediate environment, but this can cause a terrible addiction. Try to move away from this gradual, for a start you can choose a more useful alternative for yourself, find out more useful information about the weed vape pen here
