Teenage Smoking

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.

Well, this is something that I thought is quite peculiar.

What do they all have in common? Teens/Kids learning how to or even making fake cigarettes. Now, I did some testing, and the methods listed are extremely easy to do, and they work. Now, are we promoting, as a society, that it is ok to smoke in any fashion? Even if it could be worse than regular cigarettes? Something tells me that these baby powder cigarettes may be worse for our lungs, than regular cigarettes. I know cigarettes contain far more harmful substances, but, this is putting a white powder into our lungs, not good.

Any thoughts?

(Remember not to inhale!!) says the page.

Other than that, it's all pretty retarded and pointless. I much prefer real ones.

The kids have to look cool to get a date to the hop somehow.

I know I'm in my own little world here, but I just can't see how people can see smokers are cool. Kids may not realize it, but no one, at least no adult, smokes to be cool, people smoke cause they are addicted to one of the active ingredients. If I could put down my smokes with no ill or annoying effects I'd do it in a heartbeat and I bet probably 95% of smokers would do the same.

Nope fully aware. It's just that no one cares.

I LOVED smoking. Was it because I thought I was cool? No. It was because it was a way for me to relax and calm down after a stressful day. I now use a electronic cigarette and the thing helped me quit. I don't think I will ever decrease the nicotine content just because I love the feeling (and I am fully aware I am addicted).

I really have no shame against teens who smoke. I know why they start and I know what it's like.

For people smoking, rather than being cool, I think people do it at first probably because of curiosity more than anything else, and peer pressure. What are those cigarettes that they sell in which you aren't supposed to have gets kids hooked on this stuff? Than, maybe if they feel it's not that great, they get so addicted to it anyway, and can't stop.

To me I think that especially women when they get older that smoke a lot, it changes their voice or something to horsey type of voice - to me they seem more deeper of a voice. Now, do these younger girls think that something like that is going to happen to them when they smoke after 30 years? I really doubt it.

Wow, how insightful of you to share with us your wisdom. Thanks , I will now quit smoking because of you. Denis Leary told me vitamin C was in cigarettes. Silly me for believing him.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
