| No, not at all. My aunt passed away when I was little because of cancer that she got from smoking, and my oldest brother was smoking a lot too, but I don't know if he still does it. |

| No, kids. Neither is vaping. Don't succumb to peer pressure. |
| Pros: You look cool Cons: You are basically guaranteed to get some type of cancer |
| It feels cool when you do it yourself (not really when someone closely does it), and if it looks cool is a matter of taste.. I liked smoking a lot but I mostly stopped because i think its too expensive now. |
| It's cool when you're with other smokers. Non-smokers can smell it on you and your clothes like burning rust if you do it too much. This often leads to smokers throwing fits when they get herded into smoking sections with the other smelly people. |
| holy shit 4 pages of people regurgitating the same tired, self righteous opinion. Is this what the npc meme was reffering too? Truly dystopian I smoked 2-3 packs a week for a year and a half and quit in one day after just throwing my pack of reds out, for monetary reasons. My uncle had the same experience. Part of me thinks this whole "hard to quit" meme is at least partially popularized by tobacco companies wanting you to keep buying their product. Sorry you bought into it. |

| IN anime yes, Real life no. I can't stand adults that smoke around there kids or others that dont smoke, like WHY. Like okay ruin your own health but do it away from everyone else. |

| It might look cool in anime when characters like Spike and Kiritsugu do it but irl that shit looks disgusting |

You shouldn't smoke around lolis, they don't like that. Unless you are like me and genetically bonded with a symbiote and a sociopathic killer who as a shota tricked his dad into killing his mom by killing her dog that she loved more than me. -_- If you are that then you will probably be alright. |
 |
| In the US? Sure whatever floats your boat mate, you're the one who'll be getting lung cancer not me. In Australia? $40 AUD per pack confirms if you smoke you have a IQ below 50 and most likely got dropped on your head as a child |

| if frequently consuming something that ruins your insides and thus resulting in a slow death or increasing your chance of living a shorter life is seemingly cool and tempting, i wish you all the best :"< |
 Yeah it's pretty cool. I smoke when I need extra cool points. |
| A cool person is going to look cool whether they smoke or not. |
Smoking on itself isn't cool since it harms your health in a long term. Either way the cig companies pay a lotta money to get famous people to smoke to make it look cool. Eventually teens or younger kids will try to smoke cause they'll think it's a cool trend when in the end it does more harm than good.  |

| it's only cool when i do it. ya feel me G |
| I have never thought that smoking is considered cool. For all I know, people are dying from it - all sort of cancers, particularly lung cancer will hunt them down quickly. Another worse thing is second hand smoke, which people inhale from those smokers. I don't smoke and will never pick up that bad habit. |
 |
| Smoking is pretty damn cool. You guys are a bunch of nerds. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| I find them cool but I also worry for their teeth and lung TT.TT I despise the smell, it stinks and is a danger to people surrounding smokers. In conclusion, cool in pictures but not good in general. |
I feel so blue ... you are my world ... but you are not mine ♫    |
| I don't see anything cool in willingly shortening your lifespan by inhaling a harmful substance. |
| In anime it is cool when someone smokes. In real life, at a younger age it is considered cool, showing how grown up you are. During teenage years it has a lot to do with social life, others are there smoking and talking, and you wanna join in the convo with them. Best way is probably smoking one with them. Most people as they get older, they say they regret starting and would quit if they could. |
| I can understand why it comes off as cool - some of my biggest heroes smoked in shows I watched as a kid. There's something very visually appealing about it. It adds a small personal touch to a character as well. If you've grown up around people who smoke, there can be something deceptively nostalgic about it too. That said, forgive me for sounding like a 90s afterschool special, but it is not cool when applied to real life as it creates severe health issues. Everyone I know who smokes has had issues stopping unless a severe health problem has come their way where they could no longer smoke without signing a death warrant. My parents and older brother all smoke and likely will never stop. They have smoker's voices and it costs a ton of money with tax on top. It also gives me migraines because I have a smoke allergy. Also, if you're used to smoke, you won't realize you smell like smoke around people who don't smoke which is another issue. Just creating a bunch of headaches for yourself |
| Smoking and fluffy tails make everything better. Just replace the magic keys in this video below with magic fluffy tails, well, not just any tail. I am talking about some serious fluffy firepower like Makoto Nanaya levels of tail kiddo. |

| Smoking is cool to some and disgusting to others, it all depends on the person. Personally i started smoking because i thought it was cool, then it was not cool anymore but then you are hooked, simple as that. |
 |
| I quit smoking about 5 years ago and when someone smokes near me now it smells disgusting. Is it "cool" yeah i would say it is when you're younger at least. |
Yes. Yes, it is.  I would never do it, though. |
| As cool as harming one’s body can be. There are way cooler things in anime you can be impressed by. |
   |
| Looks cool. Giving yourself cancer is dumb tho. |
| I'd say trying to look cool by smoking actually does the opposite. Real cool people just have to physically exist to be cool without even trying. |
| Slowly destroying your lungs and welcoming in cancer isn't really considered cool in my books :/ Wish people would wake up to realize how many years of suffering are on this road.... |
Joeywatches said: Slowly destroying your lungs and welcoming in cancer isn't really considered cool in my books :/ Wish people would wake up to realize how many years of suffering are on this road.... it's not just (lung) cancer either. many other forms are linked to smoking, including colorectal, esophageal, stomach, and bladder cancer. none of those are very fun to get. beyond cancer, there's also heart disease, diabetes, and lung diseases such as COPD. and those are only the common diseases. i think most people are aware of the negative consequences of smoking. it's just that all those consequences show much up later in your life. and as humans, we're much more motivated by instant gratification. |
| Does eating potato chips make me cool? I don't see how smoking is any different. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I tried smoking once and I completely hated it. Aside from that, it has health side effects and could lead to problems. |
| No. I used to work at a hospital, which had rules against smoking on the premises, so when I caught someone smoking, I had to tell them they couldn't. Some complied, others would give me an attitude, like I was infringing on their god-given right. But if I could release steam from my mouth like I were a steampunk golem, now that would be kickass. |
| No, nothing cool about it in real life. I think it can be in fiction, whenever characters like Spike, Revy or Kougami smoke they look pretty chill have a cool vibe about them. Tommy from Peaky Blinders also comes to mind regarding characters who look cool smoking. |
 |
| No it is not cool unless you consider endangering your own health and the health of others cool |
 |
| Buying things which slowly kill you and make you stinky and remove your self control through addiction is about as uncool as it gets. |
Sure if you think having lung cancer is cool |
