In the past year I've witnessed all of my close friends get addicted to these shits. I ask them why they choose to pollute themselves with unnecessary tar when they could just stick to smoking weed. But they always reply with the same defeatist answer or the implication that they can stop whenever they want.
I can't even hang out with them without getting a taste of secondhand.
Smokers of Sup Forums. Is there any way I get these fags to stop smoking fags?
They vape from time to time anyway, they just feel like cigarettes are a more sociable thing to do
Hunter Martin
They're morons, like all the guys over here that spend their time hanging around in gambling joints like they're addicts. Some guys start doing it and so everyone else has to follow like a little bitch.
If you're not one of them then all you can do is to get rid of them or become one of them. One or the other will happen sooner or later, trust me.
Robert Morris
I honestly feel like I have a much stronger grip on myself to gradually conform to smoking. But I probably should be looking for new friends anyway
Matthew Hughes
Oh here s an edgy faggot proud to do like everyone else
Joshua Nguyen
>implying complaining about smokers is ever unreasonable
Samuel Johnson
Your environment shapes you, whether you like it or not. What's it like to hang out with guys who are always doing something you don't like? If you keep hanging out with them but don't start smoking you'll probably start resenting them more and more. Or you could just start as well, then your problem's solved, you don't have to look for new friends and don't have to complain about smoking anymore cause now you're doing it, too.
Change happens over time and if you don't actively change things it happens without you even noticing it.
Levi Sullivan
cigs are the new (old) thing to do. people are obsessed with the past. that and weebs. asians love to smoke so weebs follow
Jack Murphy
>Looking for new friends because they smoke
Angel Moore
>looking for new friends why?
the same occurrence will repeat itself time and time again.
people are shitty. just focus on learning to do everything by yourself, and being completely independent, then focus on enjoying time alone with your own thoughts.
you'll be much happier overall.
Jaxson Myers
Based off of (most) smokers i know, smokers tend to be impulsive and make poor decisions in general. If you want to be a stable alpha, go make some new friends and dump the losers. You will grow to resent them if you keep on hanging out with them because you will feel like you are being left out. On the other hand, they can possibly lead you into smoking as well or begin to resent you for not smoking with them. I had friends who smoked back in high school and they would straight up shun me and call me a "bad friend" because i wouldn't destroy my lungs with them. Drop em pal, they're losers, and you can do better.
Adrian Morgan
Humans are social beings, as long as hes good at socializing and isn't a complete and total social autist, finding new friends shouldn't be hard.
Owen Gonzalez
So how's that working out for you, user? Spending all that time among your friends on Sup Forums. Living the good life, huh?
Xavier Diaz
You know what, OP. I actually agree with you. Smoking sucks and after smoking for a decade i think im gonna quit smoking and start drinking everytime I smoke as a means to quit.
Easton Barnes
I'm curious if you think you actually have a point that doesn't sound like desperation to justify fucking your body up.
Hunter Hall
i'd hardly call any of your friends.
i just get on Sup Forums get a laugh or two then go on about my business.
so they can collectively pickup some new annoying habit or hobby and he can dump them for yet another group of soon-to-be-shitty friends?
Colton Jones
Yeah. You got a major point there. It ironically relates to how I broke up with my girlfriend. I trust it.
Am i just gonna keep getting new friends who smoke around me as I grow older? Not so sure about that. I think I could weed them out from the smokers
Weird how one simple thing like smoking can really surpass itself in importance over everything else good in our friendships
Nathaniel Evans
Or, you can stop being a crybaby bitch and just deal with it. Your friends smoke, you don't, big fucking deal. Unless you're fuckin' fourteen nobody gives a fuck.
Some of my friends smoke, some don't. Why the fuck does their decision matter to you? Hell, it's not even like drinking where you could say, "it's hard to hang out with them because the night is all about getting drunk." It's a fucking cigarette. It's supplementary, not a focus of anything - again, unless you're fourteen and running to hide from mommy in the woods to smoke and pretend you're fuckin' cool.
If you're such a whiny babybackbitch about shit like this, I'd advise you to hold onto any friends you can, because soon you'll have none.
Kayden Ramirez
Not everyone is shitty man, it matters what kind of environment you live in. I'm not sure if you're aware, but you don't HAVE to live in a shitty area.
Angel Perry
More slaves to big tobacco
Angel Green
No stop being such a fag you useless mother fucker
Jaxon Phillips
I couldn't give a fuck about beer because it does NOT affect me.
Secondhand smoke DOES affect me. You edgy faggot
Gavin Diaz
Roll trips and i quit smoking right now.
Colton Moore
THIS
Jaxon Flores
Because cigs fucking stink if you don't smoke them. It's like constantly smelling a fart thats not quite a fart, but its almost just as foul.
Kevin Stewart
I highly fucking doubt that
Ian Davis
Doubt it, cigs are highly addictive.
Isaac Cooper
Lol a Sup Forumsastard afraid of second hand smoke.
I knew there was only faggots on b
Jose Gutierrez
get new friends u fucking crybaby faggot
Adam Hill
Don't cut yourself on that edge man.
Cooper Lopez
Well, it's obviously not just about smoking. You've got some negative associations to smoking, wherever they might have come from, and that's why this is such a big issue to you when others couldn't care less.
Maybe you generally take more care of your health than your smoker friends, or maybe it's about the peer pressure, cause most folks tend to do what everyone else does without ever using their own brain and you dislike that.
You should figure out what the real reason is but ultimately it probably won't change anything. If you dislike a certain behavior in someone and have a good reason for it then there's no reason to tolerate it. You probably wouldn't hang out with crack addicts either because of the very negative effects it might have on you, even if they've been your best friends your whole life.
Ultimately you gotta do what's best for you, even if your friends and everyone else will disagree.
Jordan Bailey
Cigs are good mkay
Christian Campbell
>hur my burning plant is better then your burning plant dur Fuck off pothead and try to think about something other then weed for once in your McDonald's carreer.
Isaiah Collins
"Secondhand smoke is known to cause cancer. It has more than 7,000 chemicals, including at least 70 that can cause cancer."
Pretty much this, and fuck the edgy beta males who tell you to just roll with it. Those couple of faggots in this thread are just used to being told what to do.
Elijah Thomas
will post daily updates and teach Sup Forums how to quit (at least for a few months).
Can't promise that you might make a bad decision and go back to smoking after a couple months to a year, but I can show you how to get rid of chemical dependency. I've done it multiple times.
Joseph Green
Only mentally. Once you fully realize that you don't need that shit and it serves no purpose you're almost over it. The rest is just getting over the conditioned behaviors, like not lighting a cig whenever you leave the house, etc., etc.
Stay away from them long enough and you've built new habits that don't involve smoking. Yep, it's that simple. You just have to make the first step.
Jordan Butler
You know who I hate. People like you who think just because smoking is bad we shouldn't do it... GO FUCK YOUR SELF... It's my body and I'll do what the fuck I want to it... And yes my free health care will pay for it because I pay fucking taxs.... No fuck of your religious pedo liberal.
James Scott
>You've got some negative associations to smoking, wherever they might have come from
Never grew up around smokers. And if family members did smoke they'd take it outside. The only negative view of smoking I get is from science, and I stick to science. But yeah, I'm concerned about my health more than my friends are for their own.
Adam Richardson
i used to smoke like 3-4 a day but now i cant even smoke a quarter of one they are so fucking gross
Robert Green
You're free to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't affect others. You can even jump from a bridge and noone will care, as long as you avoid falling on someone.
Gabriel Green
...
Alexander Hughes
Cigs cause both a physical and mental reliability due to the large amount of addictive substances and nicotine in them. I get that you wan't to help smokers stop smoking, but its not as simple as you say it is. I don't even smoke and i think you're full of shit.
Eli Smith
Holy shit you type like such an edgy teenager. I doubt you've payed any taxes in your life man.
Jeremiah Foster
There's tar in smoked weed, more actually generated by the burning of terpenes
Dylan Nguyen
let them do what they want you faggot. It's their fucking decision what they do with their bodies. You are not their mother
Alexander Davis
Weed deposits tar into your lungs as well when smoked, that's not me being against weed seeing as though I smoke weed practically everyday, but it's just from inhaling smoking from a burning piece of herb. That being said, it doesn't even come close to the amount cigarettes deposit. I've heard good things about vaping CBD oil as an alternative to smoking cigarettes.
Camden Barnes
>second hand smoke DOES affect me
Pic related its you.
Austin Scott
Stupidest post here. Who the fuck does something so trivial just becuase thier friends are doing it? You have shit tier friends if they won't hang out with you if you aren't doing every exact thing that they do. All my friends are completley different and nobody gives a fuck, we just have a good time. Circle of friends has a burnout, D and D dungeon master, gym rat and a heroin abuser.
Juan Jenkins
No i can't cuz all you bitchy people complained and now if I want a smoke I have to do it shunned away form ppl in my house... 90% of places won't even let you smoke on the property let alone in a designated place... Now Dont get me wrong I know it's bad but it's still my choice. Why do I have to go outside and smoke at a bar yet ppl inside can get shit faced. Hop in a car. Kill some one and only get a fue years + fine.... Bull shit!
Jaxon Campbell
Cigarettes fucking stink. People probably also want you to go away because you're an edgelord.
Lincoln Diaz
I'm smoking a cigarette now you fucking faggot OP, boohoo you cuck. The next time I see my friends who are not smokers I'm going to purposefully blow smoke in their faces and think about you, you little bitch ass faggot OP edgy hardcore straight christian sunday church A+ in school by bed at 9pm fucking faggot.
Jaxon Rivera
okay, tar was not the right word to summarize what's mostly wrong with cigarettes. But you get what I mean, the other cancerous shit.
Mason Cruz
If you smoke weed this seems a bit hypocritical. Smoking anything is not healthy for you, cigarettes are just more unhealthy because of the extra crap cig companies add to their product. Also, to a non-weed smoker weed has its own, but admittedly different, ever present funk that surrounds frequent smokers.
If you smoke neither but find the smell of weed more tolerable than cigarettes just ask them not to smoke around you. Don't harp on them to quite, you're not their mommy.
Carter Bell
both you and your friends sound annoying.
Jonathan Lewis
if tobacco companies would just make cigarettes that don't smell like niggers and instead smelled like cinnamon rolls or apple pie, this wouldn't even be a fucking issue
cigarettes fucking stink. end of story.
Luis Hall
Because they are, I vape all the time instead of smoking cigs but I'd never do it in a bar or socially in public because you look like an absolute faggot.
Julian Kelly
What is your definition of annoying.
Noah Lewis
Op here, >mfw my friends smoke a cigarette
Evan Lopez
oh bother
Adrian Edwards
OP is a faggot. Quit trying to manipulate your friends into behaving like you want them to. An hero you little control freak.
Gavin Gray
We die anyway. You'll just be old for a decade longer than them.
Benjamin Nelson
What? Of course cigarettes fucking stink. your friends aren't going to be perfect. If it bothers you that much them stop hanging out with them, you'll that find after you leave high school that you still got a lot of changes and growing up to go through, "friends" being one of those changes.
Cameron Mitchell
Believe what you want to believe. I've smoked for more than 10 years myself and have quit a few years ago, just like that. Sometime after I initially quit I started doing it again. Take a guess why: cause of my fucking friends encouraging me to do so.
If you stay in the same environment where everyone around you is doing something stupid and people are encouraging you to do the same and trying to convince you that it's fine then you'll have hardly any chance to get rid of that habit. Quitting anything first of all means changing your circumstances. You wanna quit smoking? Then stop hanging out with other smokers and avoid the situations in which you've always been smoking. You wanna stop drinking? Then avoid hanging out with drunks and places where those folks gather. You can quit something without doing that but it will be so much harder.
Just think about it. Let's assume you're a drug addict who's always been around other drug addicts so this was normal for you. But now all of a sudden you have to move somewhere where nobody's taking drugs, people are happy, have a purpose in life, yada yada. Would you still be an addict?
Most people don't use their brain much, they mostly look for others to decide what to do with their lives, what's acceptable and what isn't. If you wanna take control of your life then you have to learn to make your own decisions. That means doing what's right for you and it also means avoiding people who have a negative effect on you. That's the tough part for most people and that's why most people fail. Cause they think "I wanna stop smoking but I also wanna still hang out with my friends and do all the things where I was always smoking. So I'll just keep everything as it is and hope it'll work out anyway."
In short: half assing thing never gets you anywhere since you don't really want the change and so will just be sabotaging yourself.
Owen Cruz
>unnecessary tar >Implying marijuana has less tar than cigarettes.
OP has been smoked so much of that OG Larry, He doesn't know what a search engine is anymore.
Jordan Watson

Cameron Nguyen
Unfortunately I do pay taxs and been doing it since you were sucking on your ma's saggy ass tit.
Andrew Hernandez
ITT: edgelords trying to justify fucking their lungs up to look cool in highschool and it backfiring with addiction.
Parker Lewis
It's not saggy.
Austin Clark
How the fuck do you pay your taxes when you can't even fucking spell the word.
Brandon Howard
God all this arguing about cigarettes really has me stressed out. Cig time
Justin Thomas
so if your friends encouraged you to eat 12 gauge buckshot, you'd do that too?
Kevin Cooper
That is an excellent point, but i hope you are aware that once you get nicotine from another source, your brain will stop producing for a while.
Angel Morales
lol, basically how all of my friends handful "stressful" situations.
it cracks me up, but saddens me too
Cameron Cruz
Yeah, I'm sure you couldn't possibly come up with an example for people who are shaped by their environment. After all people are drawn to ghettos, not the other way around. Same goes for obese people, drug addicts, etc. etc.
You've got a diverse circle of friends. That's nice. What about that heroin abuser? What other friends does he have? More random guys who all don't take heroin?
You don't have to do what all your friends are doing but if you constantly see all your friends doing drugs and offering you some as well, would you really manage to stay away from it? You'll either take them up on their offer and become one of them, or you're start resenting them because they want to turn you into an addict like them and you don't want that. Either way, people are always adjusting to their environment and it's mostly unconsciously.
Jackson Barnes
you're too narrow minded to argue with, obviously. put yourself in someone else's shoes for once
Adrian Roberts
Kek, I don't smoke? I just don't sook when people do, you cunts are pathetic. How's college going? In the real world people smoke, get over it.
Austin Thompson
I'm well aware of that second point. I was just making a point of the fact that you think its a burden on you to have to go outside and away from people who don't partake in your shitty habit. Either ween yourself off of your pacifier stick or shut it baby boy.
Samuel Kelly
By smoking weed, you're already making a delusional decision. Have fun stopping "whenever" you'd like, faggot. Good luck w/ drug tests.
Charles Edwards
They're going to smell gross and it'll be their own fault
Bentley Campbell
little bitches that blow things out of proportion.
James Brown
Thanks for taking the bait. I needed a good laugh.
Carter Ramirez
>you're too narrow minded
says the guy who's too weak minded to avoid caving to peer pressure.
Logan Martinez
Tell me OP, what's better. Get high as fuck to the point that you don't even feel your fucking flesh, or still being able to use your brain while coping with stress?
Aaron Bell
Because you can't take alcohol away from people, it's the people's drug. Chances are that will never change cause we all now how it turned out when the US tried. Doesn't mean you should take that as an excuse to justify other behaviors.
Driving drunk and killing someone does get punished by the law and so does smoking in locations where you're not allowed to do it. If you want to be treated like drunk drivers then just light a cigarette in a bar. Nobody can stop you from doing that.
Parker Butler
>stick to smoking weed
I'm on probation and I can't smoke weed so I gotta have an outlet somehow so I started smoking cigarettes. I don't plan to continue after my last pack
Grayson Miller
And from what context did you get that i ever did that? I never tried to tell them to stop, i just kind of weened myself away from them and made new friends. Cigs stink and i don't want anything to do with them. What's wrong with taking control of my own life?
Jace Edwards
...
Aiden Myers
They could but then you'd be inhaling even more chemicals than you already are, just that you wouldn't perceive it as that bad anymore. It's better the way it is.
Chase Cox

Matthew Watson
Funny, most neckbeards i've seen in real life or on the internet are smokers.
Nathaniel Phillips
Producing what?
Oliver Evans
>you don't feel your fucking flesh
the fuck are you smoking?
and coping with stress is such a bullshit reason to smoke cigarettes. It's the only justification my friends have for smoking other than for the fun of it. It's not a very good one and it only leads to addiction
Carter Bailey
Had a feeling I might of been but nah defiantly got me. Well done
Ethan Sullivan
Is that some witty way to tell me to go fuck myself? :^)
Andrew Lopez
Like weed smells any better. Have you actually smelled weed? It smells like someone didn't shower for consecutive weeks...
Chase Rogers
Nicotine. I don't know why i forgot to type something that simple lol.
