Ever notice this

Ok for one i am a smoker. Well i smoke occasionally, like on a special day I might smoke a cigar or a high quality cigarette. I am guilty for paying this retarded company. Ok what bothers me about the whole thing is that Phillip Morris is the leading tobacco company in the world but yet they release these stupid ads about non-smoking for (KIDS) See if you have ever seen when they pretty much give you the idea that smoking is ok unless you are kid or teenager. I just don't get it though because smoking is just as bad for us adults as it is for kids so they are truly being liars about the whole thing. I was addicted to tobacco from about age 13 all the way up untill i turned 18 about 2 months ago. Or at least i thought i was because i couldn't go one day without a cigarrette. Know that i have gotten older i go weeks without any form of tabacco and it doesn't even bother me. If you ask i don't think anyone should smoke for the purpose to be cool or because your friends do it. There for no one should ever smoke because what other reason do people start smoking for. Then they get addicted and can't stop!!!

Ok i just want to know what everyone else stands on this issue because latly i have been think i am going to stop smoking all together(besides the wacky tabacy) and start encouraging fellow peers underage to stop to. Who knows i might just change my hometown here and make a difference. I just want to know how you guys feel about the whole thing and maybe you could tell me if this is a good idea and provide ideas on good ways to actually make a difference in my town or even your town.

Yeah it's bad that they give the impression it's not bad to smoke as an adult because kids will simply think "well when I grow up I can start". Trying to quit is always good but not starting is even better.

Ya, trying to quit can be difficult. I know a lot of people who have tried to quit, but they find it very difficult. Bad part as well is the means to stop smoking are pretty expensive. (Patches and such).

well see i think i can give up smoking on my own because i don't think i am to the point were i am addicted. The only thing that makes it hard is all my friends smoke and they always offer me one. I don't even think about it untill they say something.

Hmm so yeah you might as well try and quit at this point and just hope they accept that and stop offering you.

Since at some point it may become an addiction.
