I need a cigarette

I need a cigarette [+ favourites]

Today i find many of my peers saying this exact line... i cant blame them, because i am one of them. I dont know what it is really, maybe its because i am a burnout? maybe one of you smart arses out there can cue me in on it? Oh here is my reason why i smoke, though most health cynics might say "a reason?", it slows everything down. its like taking a hammer and beating the living crap out of time causeing it to collide and stop, maybe not stoping but just slow enough so that i can catch my breath and concentrate on what really matters, attending Stanford. ? ? ?

thats a good question.......i've been a regular smoker since i was 14.....the reason i started really smoking though was because i smoked a lot of pot, and when i didnt have pot i wanted to smoke something so i started smoking cigs........i no longer smoke pot, but still smoke cigeretts....im addicted now, i guess.......but it's interesting why so many young people start smoking in the first place.....

it does allow some people a moment of clarity. that cig is almost like a small form of meditation. it goes beyond an addiction to become more of a ritual, almost a religeous experience for a moment. and if youre an atheist, it provides a lot of comfort for a short time.

wow, i am surprised, usally people crtize it and say that what i am doin is wrong. I repect u guys... i really do. i dunno, maybe when i mature a lil more i might find the answers thanks.

of course its wrong, youd have to have your head in the mud not to know that. cigs create a chemical imbalance which contributes a great deal to the addiction. but there is also a very deep psychological addiction for a lot of people. people become addicted to a lot of different things. if it helps you become a better person then generally it is not seen as an addiction... studying is a perfect example, ever heard that term "study-holic" .....mhmm.

cigs dont make you a better person, they cause you to become dependant upon something. something that over time can cause a lot of problems and even kill you.

i smoke, and i dont think it's wrong.....it's just not a bright idea, because of the reasons wyote already mentioned

"we are the music makers, and we, are the dreamers of dreams"

im not a smoker but sometimes i think that smoking would make me a happier person. i think the puffing would be soothing and even entertaining while i walk.

play some russian roulette, i hear thats pretty entertaining.

"I am Akba-Atatdia"

wow i have only been smoking for about a week, and i doubt im actually addicted to it yet. but i think im like, mentally addicted, because i constantly find myself wanting one.

i've been smoking for about a year or a year and a half now. i think tre parker that said it best, "a cigarette is about the only vacation that some people get." i like it when i smoke because at that one moment in time that cigarette is all i have to focus on, don't have to think about class, work, girlfriends, my pissed off best friend, nothing.

"i don't like the idea of "nothingness", it makes me anxious"

Smoking is calming and soothing and pleasurable...and deadly. All good things come with a price. I need a cigarette.

when the day is done when all the cacophony of the world has come to a halt you realize im smoking? it gives you a point when all you think about is the toxin going in to you and slowly killing you then you slowly breath all of that crap out, yet there always seems to be a little left. you wish that you could do the same with all the other problems just push them out and away. just to feel alone and content before you merge with reality again when you feel all of those thoughts cramming there way back into your head you have no peace. except for that one moment.
