Al Sayf: Wah, thanks for all your answers to various questions! The movie sounds interesting. Will look out for it! ;)

modchip: Okay, then I’ll just keep telling myself that I hate it. :P

junkie: Actually, I can do the drag pretty well now. My only problem is aiming. Somehow I can’t aim the cigarette at my lips very naturally. Like when I aim at the side, it goes to the centre, or I put too much of it in, or my fingers just holding it very awkwardly. *sigh*

Derrick: I feel that smoking is no big deal lah. After all, it’s legal. And it’s just a bad habit like any other bad habit. (And I do have many of those, like eating too much fatty food and sleeping too late and not drinking enough water, etc.)

Plus half my friends smoke so I’m getting a lot of second-hand smoke anyway. Finally, I don’t intend to get addicted and start smoking. I don’t think these few days of smoking will do me much harm in the long run, when you compare it to all the carbon monoxide I’m already taking in daily from cars and second-hand smoke.

But thanks for your concern!

You you you……. but……. I……… Aw man!!! I can’t believe you really picked up smoking! Don’t mind me asking but is it worth it? I mean its not like some Hollywood role or something. Heck its not even a main character in some Mediacorp blockbuster. Nicotine is super addictive. Call me old fashioned but I don’t think its worth it at all lor :-(

I had to perform smoking before too - although I can ‘drag’ comfortably now, many people can simulate it by ‘holding it’ in their mouths, and blending it with exhalation

i.e. ’suck’ in the smoke as you would a straw (without the smoke entering your lungs) and just slowly mix it with your breath when you breath out through your mouth. After you’re familiar you can even do this while exhaling through your nose.

You’re right though, it’s disgusting, fingers and breath bleargh.

Interesting information! So, does that mean if one only smokes 1-2 sticks a day, the nicotine won’t have enough power to “push” the default chemical out? :P

From what I understand, it depends on how well you take the nicotine. If you force your brain like it, obviously — the more the % that you get addicted. In other words, constant use/abuse of it will automatically trigger the addiction whether you like it or not. :D
