i hope soon.
though, i must say. the smell of smoke mixed with whatever perfume i was wearing the night i was at the club that sticks on my clothes through a couple of washes IS quite nostalgic.
but not getting lung cancer is a better trade off. i 'd say.

The positive effects of smoking:
* Nicotine increases alertness. This may enhance concentration, thinking and learning. This may be a benefit to people with schizophrenia whose illness or medication leads to cognitive problems.
* Nicotine can help relaxation, and it can also reduce negative feelings such as anxiety, tension and anger. So smoking may help people with mental illness deal with stressful situations.
* Nicotine might have an antidepressant effect. Nicotine stimulates dopamine production in part of the brain and so may help negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of motivation, lack of energy and flat mood.
* Nicotine may reduce positive symptoms, such as hallucinations for a short period.
* There is some evidence to suggest that smoking is associated with reduced levels of antipsychotic induced Parkinsonism.
* Smoking can help to relieve boredom and provide a framework for the day.
* Smoking can improve social interaction, something that may be of particular benefit to people with negative symptoms.

Have you seen me smoke somewhere? Was it in a bar, after several drinks? Because that's the only time I'll touch a cigarette.
i don't fucking even understand why people even start in the first place, with all the knowledge today about it's negative affects on your health; and especially knowledge of how hard it is to quit.
i know that most people don't think that it is going to happen to them, but it isn't rocket science.
i view a lot of smokers as completely ignorant about their health, and what they are doing to their bodies…

i welcome the change. it'll be nice to have another venue i can go to and not completely reek of smoke when i come home.
the world does indeed revolve around me.

BTW, I got a pretty cool postcard from SIGIT with them on front. They sent it wishing me Merry Christmas. I thought that was really cool of them especially considering I think they are a bunch of Muslims. Great guys!
Youbebetty, everyone takes calculated risks, but in their calculation is the thought "it can't happen to ME." This includes not just smoking, but also that other dangerous pursuit, sex, which of course can kill you or get someone knocked up, no matter how many precautions you take. Driving is incredibly dangerous yet most of us do it. So it's not ignorance – most people know what the risks are – it's irrationality.
Jaguar, that's cool about SIGIT. I got several Christmas greetings from Indonesians who were Muslims. One of them, who wasn't sure what religion I was (I'm not a religion, but they don't understand that, so I always answered with some vague answer) sent me a Rosh Hashanah card!

Here is a case where the teenager is wiser than the adult.
The odds of dying from being a regular smoker are probably astronomically higher than dying from a lifetime of protected, "safer" sex. And I'm bet most people, even smokers, would agree that the payoff from sex is much higher than the payoff from smoking.
While we're at it, why don't we just argue that weed is as dangerous as heroin, because they're both illegal drugs.
