Do you think smoking really makes you look cool?

Question

Do you think smoking is cool? Does it make people look cool? Is smoking cool at all? Or do you think it's just a waste of time, money, and good health?

Answer 1

Not cool at all. Definitely a waste of time, money and good health!

Answer 2

No, smoking makes people look stupid. ...Stupid enough to actually pay some cigarette company to slowly kill them.

Answer 3

NO   noway at all to look cool  plus why set fire to your money  it's the same as smoking ..................

Answer 4

i think it makes a person look like a fool

Answer 5

It depends. And also you get some people that have the obvious signs such has yellow teeth, stained finger tips and that ash tray smell to them. They don't make it look cool.

Answer 6

Without sounding like too much of an old f**t here ... I think:

If the smoker is under 17 (which would indicate that he/she probably hasn't been smoking very long): it makes the smoker FEEL like he/she is cool.

If the smoker is adult and has smoked for years and years: it makes the smoker look like he/she is both physiologically and psychologically addicted to something that is far bigger than he/she has probably ever imagined.

Don't start.

Smoking will NEVER make a person look "cool" ... How cool will you look when you're 45 years old and can't walk up a flight of stairs without wheezing anymore? How cool will you look and feel when you're planning your last will at 52?

Answer 7

im with victor all the way . it has nothing to do with looking cool or not ,its an addiction ! ,im a smoker and i never smoked cuz i wanted to look "cool" ,i simply got addicted cuz ive been going through problems before . and for all the a$$holes who goes whining over ppl smoking, why dont u look at urselves first then judge others? i think ud stink even if ur a non smoker and i stood beside u , some non smokers would kill me with their breath and lack of hygeine , while ive always been told that i smell great by everyone who passes by me.

oh and p.s im trying to quit , and when i succeed i wont be mean to smokers just cuz i turned to be an ex smoker

Answer 10

It looks very ugly to me

Answer 11

there is a time and a place I guess. Some smokers look plain nasty, some look hot with a cig every now and then.

Answer 12

No of coarse not. Are stained teeth, bad breath, clothes that smell like tobacco, paying a fortune for cigarettes, smoker's voice, smoker's cough, emphysema, & cancer cool? Just to name a few.

Answer 13

Smoking sucks . I tried it & left it cause i know it will damage my organs badly , decreasing my lifespan . SO why do such a thing which harms your life however it is fine if u smoke 2-3 cigarettes per month but not more otherwise u r in danger

Answer 14

Depends who you are and how you were raised...

to me if a guy does it i find it attractive, dont ask why.

Yet if its a woman i think she looks like a trashy s**t.

[it doesnt take all that long to have a smoke lol]

Answer 15

No.  It looks like you are an addict and it makes your breath stink and non-smokers don't want to kiss you.

It is a waste and may give you cancer or respiratory problems.

There is nothing cool about it.

Answer 16

Back in the 60's when I started it was the "cool" thing to do. Today it's just plain stupid

Answer 17

but some kids smoke and you look at them and say nonono thats just wrong.

it depends on the person

Answer 18

You already know the answer to this

Answer 19

It looks very unhealthy to me.

Answer 20

It is definitely a waste of good money and a big health risk..  imagine... in Canada a small packet of cigarettes costs $9.80.. so if someone spends that on a daily basis. smokes a whole packet. that's over $3000 a year spend on cigarettes which can cause heart disease and COPD and chronic bronchitis which can lead to Emphysema.. Amy Winehouse, the singer.. she has mild emphysema and she is only 27 years old. she can recover.. but she will never be able to hit the high notes again and if she continues smoking and taking drugs.. she will get emphysema which is irreversible.. now only a small part of her lungs is affected if she stops she will be fine.. but if she continues she could be dead in 10 years. .. the lungs are like sponges and if someone gets emphysema then it destroys those sponges... they don't work anymore..  a small part is affected if the emphysema is mild as in her case.. she can stop smoking and get healthy again but if she won't listen.. more and more of the lungs will get affected... so it's over $3000 Canadian Dollars a year a person spends on cigarettes if he goes and spends $ 9.80 every day on 20 cigarettes.. that's the price for cigarettes in Canada now..  and the health risk.. is a big gamble. I would know something better to do with over $ 3000... x*x

Answer 21

Nicotine is an addictive drug, you smug self-righteous douchebags. Most smokers are addicted, they'e not trying to "look cool" as you so eloquently put it. I don't smoke, but I hate all you pompous little sh*theads who like to look down your noses at smokers. Who the h**l are you to judge anybody else? How hard is it to mind your own d**n business? "Oh no, I might breathe second-hand smoke!" So go stand somewhere else, p***y.

Sorry if I sound like a d**k, anunuu; it's not directed at you. This sort of question always attracts its share of smug, self-righteous pricks who think, for whatever reason, they have the right to look down on someone for their addiction. I don't smoke, but I sympathize with smokers - I have friends and relatives who are smokers, some who are recovering alcoholics. I have watched them struggle horribly with their addiction. I just can't stand to see people who don't understand addictive behaviors condemn someone for what is seen by doctors as an illness. To answer your question, no, I personally don't think smoking makes anyone look cool.

Answer 22

are you kidding?

smoking is one of the worst and most unattractive things you can do.....

Do not smoke...your basically inhaling death.

Answer 23

I used to think that it was Really cool when I was a teenager.Then when I became an adult and realized that it stunk and was staining my teeth I was shocked at how horrible it can actually be.Yea it is a major waste of money.Think about what other cool, fun things you can do with that MUCH money! Health is the biggest reason. Google some pictures of lung and mouth cancers and you'll see the reality of smoking. I have seen people going through cancer treatment who still insisted on smoking. Not a pleasant thing to see. Save yourself all the horrible things that go with smoking and enjoy your good health and money.

Answer 24

Sure, as long as the person smoking isn't old and gross.

As to whether it's cool, well, it depends. Some kids may start smoking to look cool, but once they're into it they leazr the real reason people smoke, that nicotine is a pleasurable drug and that many people (not all) find it addictive). I used to smoke and the pleasure was definitely worth the time and money and the other drawbacks, but when I got the age where it was endangering my health I decided it was better to be alive than buzzed and gave it up. Still miss it. Like I was at the dentist's office for a cleaning today and I know that when I was still smoking I would have enjoyed yapping with the people there about the weather. It's such a pleasure enhancer.

Answer 25

uh, no.it makes people look dumb and they smell. waste of time, money, and health. if your thinking about starting to smoke- dont! my friends grandpa actually died from it-even when he quit. plus it hurts the ones around you.
