[ Post a Response | The Sublime Desire of Cigarette Smoking ]
Posted by SpyPlane on August 1, 2007, 4:35 am, in reply to "Re: Let's Think Back to Your First Cigarette" I don't want to sound *too* disagreeable here, but I have to take issue when you say, "The point is that the first time anyone takes a significant "real" drag of a cigarette and inhales it, s/he always gets sick, unless s/he is one in a million physiologically, or unless s/he is very, very drunk, or is already accustomed to inhaling "other types" of smoke." That's just not true. I've had personal experience with more than just a few people (male and female...mostly female) who have taken a a "significant real drag" from a cigarette...their first or maybe second time ever with a cigarette in hand...and did *not* become sick. Some did...and some did not. Mostly they did not. It's just not true that they *always* get sick, as you say. And these people were not "one in a million"...were not drunk...and had not had experience with other kinds of smoke. Maybe you should say that in your own experience...when *you* first inhaled a significant drag or when *you* first saw other people doing it, they got sick...but it does *not* ALWAYS happen. Everyone's experience is different, and those experiences don't necessarily conform to your idea of the way things are. *SpyPlane*
