    Personally, I find it more disgusting when people eat fast food; I don't know, just the reputation it has: highly unhealthy, sh*t in some of the burgers, some are made of horses, and it is clearly the most dangerous thing you can do to your body (heart disease and obesity kill more people than smoking and car accidents).

    niko is actually one of those people, so I find his comment both repulsive and hypocritical.

    To be honest you don't really need one.

    Being the silent, mysterious brooding guy who smokes cigarettes and grunts or the alcoholic is just as valuable as the loquacious witty dude

    Very brave of you, my daddy stopped smoking and since his health have been so much better. I remember him gaining weight in the early stage of quitting, my guess is cigarettes makes you eat less (loss of appetite or something along those lines). Then my mom made him go jogging and he looks much better now and also doesn't smell that dreadful smell.

    I'm not a smoker but I do think smoking can be relaxing. I kind of envy the people who grab a nice smoke outside on a beautiful day and let the smoke run freely through the air or at a cafe(obv not in the states) after a nice coffee.

    That being said I still won't ever smoke.

    To the smokers why do you smoke exactly? Do you have a oral fixation or is it actually relaxing?

    Smoking is not relaxing at all. The whole relaxation thing is an illusion only a nicotine addict can experience. What that means is that the only relaxing aspect is the fact that you are relieving a craving that is irritating you. If you arent a fiend for nicotine than nothing about smoking is relaxing

    Saturated fats in food is probably the leading cause of death for people with heart disease and then you add the percentage from other diseases such as obesity and cancer and the food you eat is clearly the leading cause of death in the US.
