I smoke a pack a day of ciggarettes, is that bad?
                     




suere21101
um, yeah, that's bad, you're no supposed to smoke at all.


jivesucka
yes


herowitch
yes because it is spelled CIGARETTES only one letter g and not to mention you are killing your lungs


Kabbob
I'm sure there is at least 7 14 year old kids yelling at you about how bad it is... so I won't bother.

But you should probably cut down.


Fairy Codswallop
Yes, a pack of twenty is worse than a pack of ten though, try to at least cut down if you can :)

One cigarette a day is bad enough already. You planning on dying soon?


adieu
You could be decreasing your living years, and if you value breathing normal in your last few years--I'd suggest you cut back.

Plus, it smells. No one wants to kiss an ash tray.

What do you think? Do you know that the tar in your lunges is the same that is used to tar driveways? You're a smart one.

You know this answer already, don't you? Being under 30, as I think you might be, you have time to change, prayerfully your health will improve also.

Yes!

It doesn't improve your health at all, but calling it "Bad" is a little strong . . . as if you're saying it's wrong.

If you think it's bad to smoke a pack a day, then yes it's bad. If it doesn't bother you or you feel no reason to change it, then no it's not bad. It's just impertinent to your health.

hell yeah boy,ihate to see your chest xray ,please consider quitting or cutting down cause everyone in my family who smoked has died of cancer,plus you are affecting the ones you love with second hand smoke which is even worse,iknow its hard but trust me as a former addict you can quit and break the cycle,good luck to you

Yes it is. Even breathing tobacco smoke in a room where others are smoking and you're not raises your risk of lung cancer several times over.

Tobacco smoke also raises your risk of a number of diseases, such as liver, kidney, and blader cancer. It actually ages your skin faster, so that a young woman of 25 who's been smoking for as little as two years often looks ten years older. Ain't no easier on us guys, dude!

Yo, it's your choice. You can continue a habit that will cause all sorts of physical maladies and kill ya, or you can avoid the stinkin' weeds and increase your chances of living a long, healthy, comfortable life many times over.

Quitting ain't easy; as a former smoker, nobody knows that better than I do. But it CAN be done. Don't try to taper off 'cause that DOES NOT WORK!!! You have to quit all at once. Thing is, there's help out there. Your best bet would to be to attend a smoking cessation clinic. Yeah, they can cost some money...so who would you rather give your money to, a smoking cessation program or a mortician?

Good luck. You'll be very very happy you did it!

Smoking is bad, period.


Humn'bird420
Not only bad, its expensive. Your looking at what 4-5 dollars a pack X7 (mon-sun) thats about $35.00 a week $70 a every 2weeks and oooeeeyyy you spend about $140.00 a month in cigarettes. Later you'll be paying this about 20 ply for chemotherapy.


firestud2829
Not bad for the tobacco industry. But it is very bad for your health.


Cherriest
Yes... it is very bad for your health and you should quit. I quit 8 weeks ago after smoking a pack a day for 20 years.

Any type of toxins put into your body is not good for you. It can be cigs to alcohol. Both of these will kill you. In a world like ours today were stress levels are higher people turn to smoking, drinking, and other avenues. I would try to focus more on finding healthy habits that will not harm you or others. But whatever you do - break bad habits slowly and under care of a physician.


greghunter87
You're a dumbass.


cdf-rom
It's not good for you. Listen, what do they cost, about $5 these days? Think how much you could save if you quit.

$5 x 365 days = $1,825 a year. Now, put it in an interest bearing account. Say you are 30 now. If you put that much in the bank every year until you are 65, when you retire you will have $63,875 inprincipal alone. Now let's figure on some interest. Say you can only get 2%. That's another $1,277.50, and I haven't done any compounding of interest.

What do you get out of quitting? A nice healthy retirement, more money, longer to live to enjoy it, less health care costs and problems, your clothes and furniture doesn't stink, you didn't have a fire in your house from falling asleep smoking, you can taste food again, you get to laugh at the tobacco companies who are trying to get rich off you....

Isn't it worth quitting...?

Sure it's good.

Good for the manufacturer.

Good for the retail stores.

Good for the wholesale stores.

Good for the dentists. People who smoke suffer from gingivitis which if not cured can lead to periodontitis.

Good for the doctors. Do you know how many diseases are directly related to smoking? Look it up.

Good the the hospitals.

Good for publishers of books about quitting smoking.

Good for people who write books about quitting smoking.

Good for the sellers of books about quitting smoking.

Good for the sellers of aids to stop smoking.

Good for the manufacturers of aids to stop smoking.

Good for the people who are waiting for you to die so they can collect your life insurance.

(I won't go into into the WRINKLES aspect. Neither will I go into the BREAST CANCER aspect.)

Notice that NONE of the above include "GOOD FOR THE SMOKERS."

NOR does it include "GOOD FOR SECOND-HAND SMOKERS"

*********I HOPE YOU GET MY POINT**********
