Answer 2

There are NO pro's - and as a smoker I know that better than most. As a smoker you stink, have impaired smell and taste, waste endless amounts of money and are probably not as healthy as you could be. Not to mention the sad slavery to the f@gs - who else would get up from a warm chair in the middle of winter and trundle off to the shops like a druggy to get a quick fix - only us sad smokers !!! Need I go on.
You have done SO well - don't throw it all away now. I am envious that you have managed to give up and I'm still the sad person addicted to a stinky habit that will no doubt kill me in the end. You carry on being a proud EX smoker love xxxxx

Answer 3

The only pro I can think of is if you have a suicide wish and
are too chicken to end it all at once. It's agony to quit, but
once you do...you're free forever. It's the most addictive
drug out there and the most destructive. Pretty soon it
will be illegal to smoke anywhere except inside your
own (owned) home. Don't be stupid...give yourself
a month or two..it gets better. I had to stop hanging out
with any smokers and now know absolutely nobody that
smokes. It's really hard to quit but you know you can't
just have the occasional one. Who in their right mind
would convince you to buy a pack? Or is this just
a joke?

Answer 4

there r no pros. I gave in today and had one after a month, so i'll start over again tomorrow. Don't buy a pack, just go bum 1 from someone . If u buy a pack then u have to smoke them good luck and try to do something else to keep ur self busy. Call a friend , anything

Answer 5

PROS: ABSOLUTELY NONE
Cons: Causes many types of cancer, damages your systems, especially lungs, pollutes the air and contributes to global warming, litters the street (the #1 litter on car roads) takes years of your life, makes you DIE (important one), makes you spend A THOUSAND DOLLARS a year on cigarette packs, makes you unattractive, and increases the risk of many other diseases. By smoking, you endanger the health of others by second-hand smoke. Your friends might not like the smoke, unless they are smokers too.
Need I say more?

I know you have the urge to smoke a cigarette, but don't. Take some medicine for it, like special nicotine patches and medicines, or join special groups and clubs to talk about it that helps you quit.

I have a friend who used to be a smart and athletic student, but had a father that is an alcoholic and a heavy smoker. The dad wasn't very responsible, and soon, my friend hung out with young smokers in high school. He dropped out of college and dated sluts for girlfriends. He late regretted his dropping out..

Answer 6

ive been stopped for 4 months now. saved £250 up to now. paid for next holiday. Thats the pro. The neg i cant stop munching, I ve put 7 1lbs.

Answer 7

Write down all the reasons you quit. Then go for a walk.

You already know all the preaching against it. Remind yourself of YOUR reasons. Above all it is an addiction-if you go back you will continue the addicition.

Answer 8

Pro's:

You enjoy it.

It compliments food, sex, drink and socialising (especially out-doors nowadays).

Paying the high taxes on tobacco doesn't seem THAT bad.

Cons:

You're lower that a Texas cow in society.

The taxes are high

You get diseases, but nobody wants to treat you using the TAXES YOU'VE PAID, regardless of the TAXES YOU'VE PAID. To be then asked to donate your organs to medicine after your EARLY DEATH due to them not fuking treating you in the first place! TO TREAT SOME NON-SMOKING, NON TOBACCO-TAX-PAYING 'VEGITARIAN' to a new fuking 'KIDNEY' to OPPRESS other innocent smokers!!!!!They may hate eating cute lickle fluffy bunnies, but they welcome with open arms,some lower-ranking man just dropping dead for their convenience. So that they may wear their scum-ridden organs, like some kind of trophy for all to stare in stupid awe and to pray to the Lord "Thank you for such a 'conveniently-judged' perfect miracle!!"

I rest my case ;)

Answer 9

the are no pros to smoking. if you smoke you will never be able to play an instrument, play sports, and will die of lung cancer.
Smoking is as dangerous as inhailing car exhaust, eating rat poisin, or sucking on mothballs. DONT SMOKE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! DONT SMOKE!

Answer 10

Pros - none
Cons - wastes your money, can give you X ammount of different cancers, annoys the non-smokers around you, eventually kills you, waste of time, and many many more im to lazy to type =]
