What do you think about people who can't stop smoking?

...

princess_sahara2003	Evidently you have never had an addiction before,Because let me tell ya it's harder that you think to just up and quit ex specially if your depressed.Most people that quit smoking replace that addiction with food then they become obesity like that's healthier ha?

draikcor	not cool if you want to be cool dont smoke

sher	I actually feel sorry for them and offer them support in trying to quit. People seem to forget that it is a physical addiction. I've never been a smoker, but I do recognize that people often do dumb things when they are young, and I don't think it's right to put them down, especially when they are trying to make a change for the better.

Joann_Joe	They're burning their money and destroy their body. Isn't they stupid.

mikeknu	I think they're people just like the rest of us. The average person has to try to quit smoking 9 times before they actually succeed. I've got a few habits I'd like to break myself but have had trouble doing so. What I really feel, though, is very sad when I see people I care about smoking. The world needs them and they're going to leave it much too soon.

akasha21us	i think im weak and stupid. mind over addiction

yars232c	Can't stop or won't stop? Can't, it's addictive, won't, they don't want to, and they have that right.

bubbie524	Its an addiction that needs time and patience to quit. I do feel sorry for them but I don't think they are gross. People get addicted to so many things, some to good things and some to bad.

southernman_25_1979	what do i think lol thats a silly question i have smokes cigaretes and been delivered from that and drinking you dont need any programs all u need is god

nevelyn56	I feel, we need your help..prayer..support.

sassafrass	i think they need all the support they can get if they are trying to stop. if they arent all the badgering in the world is not going to get them to stop. in fact, it will just make it worse.

blindguardian	i think people who don't smoke don't know anything about smoking beside what they hear and don't know the true addiction one gets from smoking i think ones who smoke know the risk, and is their choice to continue Bad choice in conclusion half of the people you meet tomorrow will be smokers, either accept that or move on, in the end all who judge are to be judged aren't we all

Betty Crocka	1 - they are dumb for starting in the first place 2 - they have no self control 3 - they probably have bad teeth, smelly clothes and a smelly house

mildred623	Anyone can change any habit that they want to change. I could stop smoking if I wanted to but I enjoy it and dont want to stop.

Pancakes	It's a sad addiction. But, with today's media, there's no way they can start without knowing the health complications. That makes them people who lack will power. They started smoking because they thought it's 'cool'.... no other reason.

nelson_devon	I think it hasn't become important enough to stop yet.

STAR	they r gross and just stupied 4 even startin

Fuzzy Wuzzy	I get frustrated at my husband, and tell him sometimes, but as I don't want to nag, it's a hard one. However, I over eat, and when I say anything about the smell - he brings that up. Shuts me up every time.

antoy	idiots, thats what they are, and their smoking bothers other people too, they're burning money and their health too.

christy	they don't really want to quit

jodartha	I read an interesting article yesterday that indicates that smoking is strongly linked to depression. Not that all smokers are depressed. More so that smokers use Nicotine to keep jump starting their mood if they are the kind that is addicted. (this is what you are describing). Smoking like drinking is a sort of self-medication. The person that can't stop smoking may have a reason or a mood problem. They may need more to calm them down than others. This can be traced to the genetic background of the individual. Of course, some people just like to smoke, but for those that can't quit, it is possible that they need something to replace the "happy" feeling that they get from the Nicotine. Patches are constant doses and do not give the high that smokers like. Zyban can help and if give w/the patch has been shown to have a relatively high success rate. Don't think bad about these people. It is hard to quit an addiction and not everyone is addicted as much to smoking.

chris_pedersen	It would have to be pity. Why does smoking make me lazy or irresponsible? I have no self control? Are you kidding me? So the fact that I work over 50 hours a week must mean Im LAZY? I haven't missed a day of work for over 5 years, I've been at my job for 7 years, I pay rent and my bills on time. So I must be IRRESPONSIBLE? If I was lazy, irresponsible, and had no self control, I would be out stealing from people because I didnt feel like working for it. Smoking, to me, means that at one point in my life I had a lapse in good judgement. Doesnt that happen to EVERYONE over the course of life? NObody is bad because they smoke. Anyone who would think that way is a damn fool.

Eddie's Wife	they are addicted...........just like me

Aussie male	I cant stop smoking,so what do you think of me

unbelievable	I always liked smoking, and the only reason I quit was living or dying. If I find out that I have to go anyway, I will start smoking again.

dianatux	I think they have the hardest task in the world. If you have research the matter at all you would know it is the hardest think to kick and I've never tried Heroin, but it is supposed to be harder than that. I am a smoker and pray each time I light one up. My prayer will be answered when God is ready, and I try enough.

cknksmom2	We are all human ♥ to err is human and smoking or drinking or drugs, even sex, is addictive. Please stop looking down on us "addicts", I am weak...

glow	I feel sorry for them, because they're hurting themselves.

Rodster13	I feel that they are stupid to have started.

UNITool	They're not bad people, I used to smoke, failed in a couple quit attempts. It's weakness, nothing else.

edwinmak133	iono, i just think of people who smoke are kinda bad people, or i mean not bad, but i mean, like lazy, or irresponsible...
