Answer 2

I'll tell you what~ I have smoked cigg's off and on for at least 35 years. When my health turned bad and all of a sudden~ Im breathing in air and its NOT going to my lungs to give me Oxygen~ ITS A HUGE FREAK OUT! When I was smoking weed~ it made me feel like i was not in control of myself and I felt very paranoid. It was like being awake in a living hell for me. I only smoked weed for less then 1 year. But there are times I still miss the peace and calmness of smoking a cigg. but I dont want to ever experience that loss of air in my lungs ever again. I never have cared an iota about the cancer from the ciggs~ its the loss of oxygen. I guess you'll have to read what I wrote, and delete my answers because I could NEVER ever prefer either any longer~ yrs ago, it would have been the cigg. though.

Answer 3

You spport the tobacco industry. Imagine how many people have jobs thanks to smokers!
Altria (formerly Phillip Morris) has made $97.854 billion last year- that's BILLION and has 199,000 employees. By smoking, you help to keep those 199,000 people employed and contribute to the nearly $98 BILLION in profits they make!
Smoking is GREAT for the economy!!!
In April 1994, the CEOs of the seven tobacco companies testified before Congress that "nicotine is not addictive", so it's all good!

Answer 4

I can name a positive in my family for smoking. I happy my son chose cigarettes instead of weed or cocaine. If there weren't cigarettes, what would the kids be choosing to be cool-weed, cocaine, speed? So there is a positive benifit. Cigarettes keep the kid away from things that are truly dangerous.

Answer 5

Smoking cigarettes makes you look cool.

(Really the only reason anyone starts smoking in the first place. I mean, it's not like they taste good.)

Answer 6

It makes young people look cool to other young people. Other than that...I dont get it. Maybe for nervous people to do something with thier hands while they are sitting in a bar. I personally dont know why someone would even bathe or brush their teeth, put on deodorant or anything hygenic and then light up a smoke. YUCK! I think its rude to everyone around them. SELFISH HABIT!

I love the taste. Even when I took my first drag, I never coughed or whizzed like most people do. Also I have never had a cold could this be because I smoke menthols?

Answer 9

old news but still news

"One recent study has found that one of nicotine's metabolites, cotinine, may improve memory and protect brain cells from diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Another new study shows that nicotine can help improve some of the learning and memory problems associated with hypothyroidism. Such studies suggest that nicotine — or drugs that mimic nicotine — may one day prove beneficial in the treatment of neurological disorders. "
