You are not lucky you are 18.Give yourself some time for the effects to take hold,they will.

You will most likley spend 10 to 15 grand to get the nice "Im out of breath after 1 flight of stairs" . most likly age about 25 . But go for it, for $30,000 you could throw a lung WOOOOOOOOOO

Sorry man im in a mood. Give it up now. the sooner the better. You will be able to rip mega bongs at 50 if you do LOL

PS Im a smoker since about 15 thats 30 years 4 me and should take my own advice good luck

i'm fairly young as well, but drink clearly too much alcohol - i've wondered the same thing.. and the answer is yes! most people with lung, liver or other problems start drinking, smoking ect.. when they're young and it certainly catches up with them soon enough! 18 is definatly young.. see what the next 3-4 years will do to you.. quit now while your a little bit ahead!

(i should be heeding my own advice about alcohol)

I was told this by my old man when I was your age.

"When everyone else lights up a cig, light up joint."

I still follow his advice. He smokes doobies in moderation and lives a healthy lifestyle and people mistake him for my brother. Smoking/drinking in excess will make you age quick.

So quit smoking cigs, by the time it catches up to you it will be much harder to quit. It is easy to quit if you put your mind to it. All about decisions.

Quit now...while you still can.

I see far too many people who want to quit, but after a 20+ year habit, simply can't comprehend life without a cigarette.

By the time you realize it's doing damage, it's too late. Quit while you're ahead. You will indeed be a worthless windbag by the time you're 30 if you keep smoking. You might not think it now, but it's just going to wear you down. 18 yrs old you haven't even stopped growing yet. You've still got another 7 years at least of growing. After that things start to go downhill.

All I know is I don't even smoke cigs (well maybe 10-20 a year at parties or bars when I'm drinking)

About 10 years ago I discovered mary jane and until 2 years ago I smoked HEAVY herb, like 5-10 times a day I was filling up the bong slide... and by late 2005 I was coughing up black, tar saturated CRAP from my lungs every day...

then I found the Volcano... and now I can breathe again... no more balls of tar coming up out of my lungs...

I suggest you quit the ****ing tobacco and the bong hits... and get a vaporizer...

best 500 bucks I ever spent.... u think that's expensive? Try spending a week in the hospital 'cause you can't breathe...

One of the 4000+ plus additives you intake when gettin ciggy with it: Hydrogen Cyanide

Hydrogen cyanide is used in making fibers, plastics, dyes, pesticides, and other chemicals, and as a fumigant to kill rats. It is also used in electroplating metals and in developing photographic film.

Breathing small amounts of hydrogen cyanide may cause: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting.
Larger amounts may cause: gasping, irregular heartbeats, seizures, fainting, rapid death.

Stick with the herb, Geno420. Extract and vaporize, you'll be surprised

I've never smoked a cig in my life, but I can say - theres a lot of different shit in raw cannabis as well (not to mention the by-products of combusting it)

your last statement "Extract and vaporize" is dead on. This is the absolute cleanest way IMO to consume. Get some FMCD, or very well purged BHO i'd say your good

 

[Geno420]

some good advice here... i like a lot of what was said- tashi- i didn't know about the whole hydrogen cyanide thing (also on the whole extract and vaporize thing how about extract then bake?) ... thcbound- i am getting a volcano as soon as i can afford one- pico that is good advice i think i will try the smoke weed when ppl light up a cig...smellthefunk- i don't drink at all i can't stand alcohol but like i said i do smoke cigs so we all have our own bad habits lol everyone else thanks for the advice as well i couldn't personally aderess everyone hahhaa

 

[_angst_]

Recent UCLA study (with a huge sample) of Pot smokers, Cig smokers, Non Smokers, Cig and Pot smokers, found:
Non smokers = control group.
Pot smokers = no (statistically significant) risk of getting cancer over the control group
Cig and Pot Smokers = Significantly less than the Cigarettes only group
Cigs only = highest rate of lung cancer, statistically significant over the cig + pot

Those are the facts, use them how you see fit. If you smoke cigs your entire life until you die, I can guarantee I will know one of a handfull of ways you die.

 

[Guest]

ill never touch a cig and i get on my friends about it sometimes too..........a close close relative of mine died waaaay before his time. such a great guy with so many things left to do and he withered away in the hospital for 2 months before dying a horribly painful (meds helped a little) death.........

please give up cigs. why pay money to end your life so much sooner?

 

[tashi]

tashi- i didn't know about the whole hydrogen cyanide thing (also on the whole extract and vaporize thing how about extract then bake?) ...

Bake as in canna-edibles, indeed. BHO works quite well for that, simply melt it into the butter and your off

I am 18 years old been smokin herb since i was 12 smokin cigs since 16. i never get sick i don't cough up stuff in the morning i can still take as deep a breath as i could when i was 12 and i smoke a pack of newports a day so what is it keeping me healthy?

Probablyt he fact that you've only been smoking for 2 years

i know most ppl that do what i do are always telling me how they have a chest cold from smoking and that they cough up black stuff any way i was just wondering if it takes longer than i have given it to take affect or am i just lucky?

It takes longer than 2 years.

keep in mind my great grandfather died from smoking he smoked 2 pack a day and im not sure if he smoked weed or not but he died at about 65... i know i should quit smoking cigs but i tried and can't do it

If you say you can't quit smoking, it sounds like you're not so lucky after all

I quit smoking after 13 years. It was easy for me, but I am the rare case. Most people simply CANNOT quit, like my mom. Hopefully you'll quit soon, but if not.. well.. what can I say

 

[KharmaGirl]

Yes, it takes longer than that. Smoking is stupid and you should quit while yuo can. I am relativly healthy as well, except I now have the lungs of someone 10 years older than me. After smoking just a few years I could inhale fine too.......don't fool yourself, it will catch up.
