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.

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.

No, it outs you as a retard. Vaping makes you look like an even bigger twat too.

You are more or less guaranteed to die early from a horrible disease too. Thankfully every generation is a bit smarter in refusing to waste over a hundred grand on killing yourself.

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.

Like many others have pointed out, media tends to glamorize it. It's not as prominent anymore since everyone basically knows smoking is bad, but there's a charm/aesthetic to it.

I had my first cigarette because I thought this way. Because it looked cool. It was really stupid to do, but I was at a vulnerable time in my life. I started using it more as stress relief rather than the affect the way it made me look. I guess that's how the marketing works.

I don't smoke a pack a day, but I acknowledge that it has negative health consequences and that I'll have to be responsible for that someday.

Please don't start though. It's really harder to quit than you think it is.

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.

What I also hate is when a complete stranger asks me if I have a lighter while I'm walking by (which I don't because I don't smoke). This is something that just happened yesterday. Do I look like someone who smokes to them? Why don't they carry a lighter with them? Why don't they just buy a lighter from a shop instead of asking strangers if they have a lighter? They just look silly going around asking strangers if they have a lighter until they find someone who does.


dude this is the worst, and ive only ever been asked it by people who look really sketchy (and i always say no despite often having a lighter on me, i dont smoke though)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
