SMOKING IS BAD MKAY?


i agree, whatever kind of smoking is bad period............... I know that we all try to justify ourselves by convincing ourselves that somehow we are better than the others but I know I have gotta quit and the sooner the better!!!

That's interesting to see the comments that my little remark triggered :)
VictoryMBA, I would agree with you on one thing - quitting sooner rather than later is a good thing :wink: I am not that young anymore, btw :?


I was just ribbing you Helg :-D

That's great you guys can be social smokers...maybe one has to determine whether or not they have an addictive personality prior to lighting up for the first time. Kudos to you guys who can do it...I wish I could :roll:

In my experience as a smoker in B-school, B-school people:

a) Will discriminate you as a smoker (most won't date smokers and several would think less of you for being a smoker).
b) Will not let you enjoy your choices alone, but give you cr@p every time you light one in their presence.
c) Compare you to the devil if you give one to someone who doesn't usually smoke but does so when drunk.

yeah, everybody smokes in Asia... It's scary.

I think the cigarette companies are aiming at Asian youth because of all the Western countries' efforts to stamp out smoking...
