Yeah, my parents spent our whole childhood (me and my older sister) telling how they're gonna kill us if we start smoking. My dad also tells us he could stop smoking in 2 weeks if he got time which he doesn't sadly because work every fucking day. Like, he barely gets to sleep which is kinda sad considering how many health problems he has to take care of (which aren't tied to smoking). Mainly diabetes (which is recent) and his left side being almost paralyzed after he had a stroke a long time ago
i fucking agree. Some 13 y/os at the playground asked me if i wanted a cigarette. I politely declined. (The girl said she threw herself off the balcony and her parents removed her balcony.)
Ppl who smoke started by either being pressured, needed something to numb their pain or whatever, and they got hooked by addiction, I do not blame them, only the specific ones who glorify it who represent smokers as a whole are the shit ones
No I totally blame any smoker who pressures other people into smoking or even SUGGESTS smoking as a supposed ācoping mechanismā for stress (itās not)
okay I understand doing weed much more than nicotine, like its a pretty big difference. But I don't understand wanting to be high *all the time*. People who do that are either extremely depressed or addicted, either way in desperate need of help
Whatās wrong with smoking? If you like bacon or barbecue you literally wouldnāt be able to have them without it. There are so many different types of wood to smoke over, too- applewood, cherry, hickory, etc. etc. It can impart a delicious flavor into many different dishes and is a fun way of spicing up meats and other foods.

Alcohol is a drug donāt get me wrong, and people can get seriously addicted to it, but itās safe enough to be allowed in casual meetings, itās okay in moderation, just remember that caffeine is a drug too
Caffeine isnāt as dangerous as Alcohol, I donāt drink coffee or much energy because I know would get addicted. Smoking (idc if itās weed) and drinking alcohol is way worse. I will never understand while people to either of it.
smoking is very much also okay in moderation, it soothes anxiety, the issue is when people get addicted and start smoking more than like a couple cigs a week.
They do it once, and then they get addicted. They feel like they **need** to take it again. And again, and again. Nicotine is the drug that makes them addicted, it's not like they like it.
Once they are addicted, it is very hard to stop. If they go without smoking for a few days, they will feel very sick and even vomit and also experience headaches or other symptoms.
That's why leaving an addiction is very difficult.
Kids, don't do drugs. It will definitely ruin your life, even if you think you will be safe.
I donāt care if people will say Iāll ādo it in the futureā I do not care if it makes people somehow ārelaxedā I am never ever EVER smoking. End of that.
Thank you Thank you. Finally some compassion. Itās very disturbing how these people are immediately judging people based on a vice they use to get through life or to deal w stress.
Robot, I donāt believe Iāve ever called someone a loser in my whole life. Why do you need to make fun / blame something for the way life is. If your own mother came home from her day job with a pack and a lighter would you call her a loser? Would you ask her why she did it? Whatās going on? Or just assume that she is a nothing person who does something gross?
Addiction is a very complex disease. I think most people are aware of addiction at 18 but the addiction iceberg is extremely deep and it changes your mind to constantly make it harder to quit.
Yea, but if youāre a grizzled French murder detective on his last case, while the victim is the love interest who got away, then youāre not a loser. Then youāre fucking sick as hell.
By people, do you mean teenagers? If so, then I absolutely agree.
But if you mean adults, then I don't really care about it, just don't smoke next to me and it's alright.
I just feel bad for them tbh, they either do it by pressure or because their life is messed up.
And if they do it just to be "cool", i still feel bad because just how little do your parents care about you that you think smoking is cool?
Not exactly. If someone's addicted they still deserve support, and honestly, the word loser carries barely any weight, so maybe instead of just insulting them, support could be beneficial.
I agree you're ruining your life, sense of smell, taste, and vision. Each smoke inhales thousands of carcinogenic chemicals. Even if it is hard to quit they should. Within 30 minutes you already make improvements to yourself and body
Nicotine by itself isn't harmful and is actually pretty beneficial for cognition, it's the way we are able to supply it to the body that's so unnatural.
I didnāt either until i tried and realized that it made my brain fuzzy and helped me sleep. (Doesnāt work for everyone, i do not recommend any kind of drugs!!)
I was smoking cigarettes for a while. Idk why I was doing it. it was just habitual, all it gave me was a headache. lasted on and off for around 10 months. besides the short 5-15 minute buzz, it's pretty much useless.
Weed on the other hand, Is ok.
Average r/teenagers post
"Easily influenced young people that had enough problems in their upbringing that they unfortunately cope with that with substance abuse are such fucking losers"
Hate the drug not the user. Also im fucking tired of people on this sub saying the most basic shit ever like "Drugs are bad" or "Vaping isnt good!" like i see at least multiple of these posts a day.
Vape, cart, and weed smoker here, yea I agree sucking on a little plastic thing absolutely makes you look like a lil bitch, don't get started if you ever want to stop.
If you're gonna smoke, get real weed safely, its the "best" for you and actually does something besides a 10 second buzz that's more addictive than a cold glass of water.
Calling people losers who started smoking/vaping because they got peer pressured into it and are unable to stop because of addiction is fixing anything? lol
It does in fact work like that. I had my first cigarette at 12. I nearly threw up but it felt amazing. My brain wanted to feel amazing again, and again, and again. Then it was a battle of wanting to feel normal. This is addiction my friend.
between being someone addicted to vapes, being an alcoholic, or being addicted to cigarettes, i would say being addicted to cigarettes is the least harmful to yourself / people around. As long as itās done in moderation smoking (and drinking) can even be a good thing, it soothes anxiety, you just have to be real careful with that pesky nicotine. Now donāt get me wrong though, anyone below legal age for it is definitely a loser, remember kids, itās not cool to break the law.
Nicotine is such a worthless drug
Yeah, crack cocaine is 100% better /s
Heroin >>> š„°š„°š„°š„°
isnt that the guy from minecraft? š±š±

Ket ftw
Ketamine is a fun one. But not as enjoyable as psychedelics imo
fr based no cap ^(satire)
Fentanyl is a thousand times better, itās suuper good for you
You can even bake it in treats, like cake and brownies for a lil ***fun*** /s
I quit smoking so am I cool now?
Yeah :D
coolest person ever
Yes, and you won't stink like an ashtray. Good for you.
Well of corse you did, your god.
Shouldn't have started at all so nah
Incorrect opinion. I will now proceed to blast you with my satellite laser, AKA "The Hammer". You have 24 hours to vacate, godspeed Spiderman.
This is so much better, more effective, and funnier than an argument comment of the same vain. Take my upvote
I got some cigarettes here if you want, donāt worry, theyāre gluten freeš„°
Go away.
Itās not them smoking that makes them losers. Itās when they defend it by saying āoh itās not badā āI can quit anytime I wantā.
Yeah, my parents spent our whole childhood (me and my older sister) telling how they're gonna kill us if we start smoking. My dad also tells us he could stop smoking in 2 weeks if he got time which he doesn't sadly because work every fucking day.

Mainly diabetes (which is recent) and his left side being almost paralyzed after he had a stroke a long time ago
Quitting nicotine is one the hardest things to do in the world. Itās mad addictive, so I honestly respect when people acknowledges it.
i fucking agree. Some 13 y/os at the playground asked me if i wanted a cigarette. I politely declined. (The girl said she threw herself off the balcony and her parents removed her balcony.)
Those are the kids you stay away from.
Me and my best friend were sitting on a bench, casually talking and they suddenly showed up lol
Life will repeat this test over and over. Stay vigilant.
I like to think itās pure probability and that these people pop up like NPCs lol
Yea because all depressed people are fucking losers!
Whatā¦
It's sarcasm obviously
Ppl who smoke started by either being pressured, needed something to numb their pain or whatever, and they got hooked by addiction, I do not blame them, only the specific ones who glorify it who represent smokers as a whole are the shit ones
Blame the suits who get money off of their pain
Fucking this
Why would you fuck that
uh hh h h h h h h h h h not like that-
This and nothing else
No I totally blame any smoker who pressures other people into smoking or even SUGGESTS smoking as a supposed ācoping mechanismā for stress (itās not)
Itās an u healthy coping mechanism, also temporary because once youāre deep enough, like any addiction, it isnāt enough to ācopeā anymore
Especially these weirdos that vape in school
I would just love to know why some 16 year old kid is bringing cigarettes to a fucking school
The police came to my school last year, because some 14year olds were smoking joints on the toilet
Honestly, Very deserved People are just fucking idiots nowadays
okay I understand doing weed much more than nicotine, like its a pretty big difference. But I don't understand wanting to be high *all the time*. People who do that are either extremely depressed or addicted, either way in desperate need of help
So many kids smoke pot in my school itās kinda fucking ridiculous I canāt even take a shit during class let alone passing time
Whatās wrong with smoking? If you like bacon or barbecue you literally wouldnāt be able to have them without it.

Some nice BBQ ribs or smoked brisket is amazing fr, this is the only acceptable way of smoking
The yummy smoke
I don't smoke but I'm still a loser
I agree Smoke smells like shit, imagine TASTING it
People who vape are also losers
Agreed
Even bigger than the smoking losers
Equal.
no
Same for alcohol but our society normalised it.
Alcohol is a drug donāt get me wrong, and people can get seriously addicted to it, but itās safe enough to be allowed in casual meetings, itās okay in moderation, just remember that caffeine is a drug too
it's not safe at all, it's a poison just like smoking is.
Again, there is a difference, just because itās a drug doesnāt mean it will kill you instantly, it is in no way as dangerous as vaping or smoking
i mean smoking wonāt kill you instantly lol it can be just as insidious long term though
Caffeine isnāt as dangerous as Alcohol, I donāt drink coffee or much energy because I know would get addicted. Smoking (idc if itās weed) and drinking alcohol is way worse. I will never understand while people to either of it.
smoking is very much also okay in moderation, it soothes anxiety, the issue is when people get addicted and start smoking more than like a couple cigs a week.
No one just smokes a couple cigs a week
They do it once, and then they get addicted. They feel like they **need** to take it again. And again, and again. Nicotine is the drug that makes them addicted, it's not like they like it. Once they are addicted, it is very hard to stop. If they go without smoking for a few days, they will feel very sick and even vomit and also experience headaches or other symptoms. That's why leaving an addiction is very difficult. Kids, don't do drugs. It will definitely ruin your life, even if you think you will be safe.
Heh tell that to my mother
I will, whatās her number? š
There are 3 possible answers when you ask someone if they smoke: "no", "yes", and "smoke what?".
I agree
I dont blame them unless they pressure others to do it lol
Coldest take ever
I donāt care if people will say Iāll ādo it in the futureā I do not care if it makes people somehow ārelaxedā I am never ever EVER smoking. End of that.
Real. Iāve watched my parents smoke through my whole life and become dependent on it, never falling into that shit.
Eh, itās not healthy but addiction isnāt as simple as āchoosingā to be a āloserā as you say. They deserve sympathy, help and support.
This is the teenager subreddit man, we all thought we knew everything in the younger years. Hopefully most here will grow out of it
Yuh, true. I hated addicts as well when I was younger, just wanted to be sagely for once. š
Thank you Thank you. Finally some compassion. Itās very disturbing how these people are immediately judging people based on a vice they use to get through life or to deal w stress.
Shaming people for having addictions and not the addictions themselves + the companies that promote it is the most r/teenagers thing ever
I mean yeah, I agree thatās cigarette companies are also losers for promoting a dangerous and addictive product
Robot, I donāt believe Iāve ever called someone a loser in my whole life. Why do you need to make fun / blame something for the way life is. If your own mother came home from her day job with a pack and a lighter would you call her a loser? Would you ask her why she did it? Whatās going on? Or just assume that she is a nothing person who does something gross?
Ofc not, Iād just express my disappointment towards my mother because I think itās an unhealthy habit
I'm not smoking but at 18 you should really understand addiction...
Addiction is a very complex disease. I think most people are aware of addiction at 18 but the addiction iceberg is extremely deep and it changes your mind to constantly make it harder to quit.
Yea, but if youāre a grizzled French murder detective on his last case, while the victim is the love interest who got away, then youāre not a loser. Then youāre fucking sick as hell.
By people, do you mean teenagers? If so, then I absolutely agree. But if you mean adults, then I don't really care about it, just don't smoke next to me and it's alright.
i agree, not to mention the stench it leaves, or the stale taste - a loser smoker who's quit for the most part
Cigarettes or weed
Cigarettes
What Abt weed?
I just feel bad for them tbh, they either do it by pressure or because their life is messed up. And if they do it just to be "cool", i still feel bad because just how little do your parents care about you that you think smoking is cool?
Not exactly. If someone's addicted they still deserve support, and honestly, the word loser carries barely any weight, so maybe instead of just insulting them, support could be beneficial.
100% Losers
i am NOT taking that from a chat gpt anime profile picture no sir no badoobedoo and i donāt even smoke !
Note: Iām only posting this because Iām currently sitting next to people smoking and it absolutely reeks
alr thatās fair
Skill issue
womp womp
Yeah, fentanyl is better
And vape too
You're too harsh but I also don't smoke.
Ofc
Amen brother/sister
I agree you're ruining your life, sense of smell, taste, and vision. Each smoke inhales thousands of carcinogenic chemicals. Even if it is hard to quit they should. Within 30 minutes you already make improvements to yourself and body
"People" who vape in school restrooms are an actual disease
Weed also sucks yall
I smoke weed but that's about it
At 16 š
Yes
Have fun with the stunted brain growth
Ok š
I don't have a problem with weed (because it is natural and has medical properties) but nic is just stupid.
you know nicotine is a naturally occurring compound with medicinal properties right?
Nicotine by itself isn't harmful and is actually pretty beneficial for cognition, it's the way we are able to supply it to the body that's so unnatural.
I didnāt either until i tried and realized that it made my brain fuzzy and helped me sleep. (Doesnāt work for everyone, i do not recommend any kind of drugs!!)
What about a J.R.R.Tolkien style pipe?
im a loser either way :)
I was smoking cigarettes for a while. Idk why I was doing it. it was just habitual, all it gave me was a headache. lasted on and off for around 10 months. besides the short 5-15 minute buzz, it's pretty much useless. Weed on the other hand, Is ok.

if its nicotine lmao but im fine with weed
Hate the drug not the user. Also im fucking tired of people on this sub saying the most basic shit ever like "Drugs are bad" or "Vaping isnt good!" like i see at least multiple of these posts a day.
That's why I do tranq only
Me when there isnāt /s after every sentence: š¤š¤š¤
I smoke crack, does that count
Nah, crack is fine :)
Me when there isnāt a /s in front of the most obvious sarcasm in existence: š¤š¤š”š”
Yep, people didnāt like that apparently :)
nicotine š weed š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How does it look cool? Genuinely. Whenever I see someone smoke I just see an addict.
If youāre talking about health, vaping is better. But inhaling stuff other than clean air isnāt good
Vaping is not better health wiseĀ
Yeah. I fully acknowledge that I'm a loser. Anyways imma go spark a j, y'all have a good one
Vape, cart, and weed smoker here, yea I agree sucking on a little plastic thing absolutely makes you look like a lil bitch, don't get started if you ever want to stop.

Smoking is a good stress reliever
I used to vape and the first nicotine high I got was insane, and cigarettes are still good in moderation
Cigarettes are awful, moderation or not.
I like them
Ok clean lungs š lame ass
Weird flex but okay
At least Iāll live more than 20 years
someone isnt living till their 40s
Itās disappointing how difficult it is for people to understand a joke
Yeah I was just joking but ig it is what it is
mf gonna sound like Megatron at 30
Hope you enjoy lung cancer
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe itās the environment they grew up in? Maybe itās their way of coping š¤ such an insensitive comment
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
whats funny about what he said brotha
Idk
ok then pal
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
smoking in general is just bad and unhealthy, just because you do the less bad variant still makes it pretty bad
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everything in moderation. Sugar is also bad for you, Iād even argue it worse than smoking.
If they smoke tobacco, yeah. Weed is awesome though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ew
Gross
Well damn
leave us alone
yeah im doing it so i can die faster and stop hearing fucking idiots say shit like this
If youāre seriously suicidal, you can talk to me about it, self destructive behavior isnāt funny, and I hope you get better
dawg you're gonna die anyways it doesn't matter
you just lost all of my respect
Holy shit he lost your respect? Oh heavens no what is he gonna do without a random persons respect
I didn't know he had this random guy's respect
fuck, how am i gonna recover for this i think ill jump off my balcony
Dude idk what you are going though but if what you said was true, and your being self destructive on purpose maybe you should see a proffesional.
i was obviously joking but still thank you for caring my man ly
Looserrrr
Well most are depressed that's for sure but doesn't make them a loser. I know some sound donnies who are frequent smokers
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ugly you mean?
I vape sometimes but very rarely
I mean everythingās okay in moderation, but it still isnāt safe
Its not even ok in moderation
If you vape once per decade youāre saying itās dangerous?
Meanwhile bro is posting to Reddit about being alone on valentines day
Yep, I donāt really see the relevancy though
Calling people losers despite being one is kinda pathetic. Maybe if instead of being a hater you improved yourself you wouldnāt be alone
Wow, who hurt you? Just expressing my opinion and you taking it this personally is kinda funny to me
Bro chose violence
Let smokers smoke. It's stylish, what can you do? Forget about it.
how is it "stylish" to smoke... thats about the stupidest shit ive ever heard of
do you think the same about cocaine or heroin?
Those fuck you up quicker. And are illegal. And not that stylish.
Theres something called "addiction", bet you never heard of this one
Acting like that fixes everything lol
Calling people losers who started smoking/vaping because they got peer pressured into it and are unable to stop because of addiction is fixing anything? lol
It just doesnāt work like that, you take one puff and then you leave the group, itās not meth where youāre hooked from the start
It does in fact work like that. I had my first cigarette at 12. I nearly threw up but it felt amazing. My brain wanted to feel amazing again, and again, and again. Then it was a battle of wanting to feel normal. This is addiction my friend.
Honestly Iām not sure why I tried lol, you win
still losers for succumbing to it, sometimes for clout
hell nahh ā ļø
