is smoking bad?


Question:
ive been friends with someone for years and recently he started smoking i keep telling him thats its gona kill him but he says that since he doesnt inhale it its not bad 4 him....is he right?

Answers:
Your friend is deluding himself. You cannot smoke without inhaling to some extent, but a lot of young people refuse to deal realistically with the risks of smoking. Let him know that a lot of girls find smoking a big turn-off. Maybe that will help.

Other Answers:
go jump off a cliff, that is very good for you also!
STOP NOW IF U CAN!!!
not inhaling is even worse it opens up the glands in the mouth giving him a greater chance of mouth cancer
no. he is not right.
Of course it's bad. It kills and has no positive attribute.
No , tell him it is really good ....... and tell him another thing "he has got an appointment with GOD soon"
no hes wrong ...why would he pay $4-$5 for a pack of smokes and not inhale not inhaling he can still get mouth cancer
Read outside the label itself "smoking is dangerous to your health"
Duh....the U.S. government forces cigarette manufacturers to print health warnings on their products! I doubt they'd do that if smoking was in any way a healthy activity!
Let your friend smoke 'til he drops. People that ignorant don't deserve sympathy or intelligent concern.
Smoking is definitely bad. you friend is still at risk of having some illness with what he is doing. Even the people around a smoker would be harmed. it will not kill you in an instant but it will kill you slowly without you even noticing it. Even you don't feel something wrong, smoking will still slowly kill you...
no thats not right...i`m sorrying but if anyone tells you they dont inhale the smoke they are crazy...let them tell there docter in 40 years they dudnt inhale it when he tells them they have lung cancer from smoking.....
No he is wrong, smoking is smoking no matter what. They always say " I don't innhale it" People die all the time from second hand smoke and the cig's not in there mouth. He is just trying to pull your leg. If he continues to smoke it WILL kill him sooner or later.
Even if he does not inhale, smoke does go to lungs because it resides in the mouth and every time he breathes, a little amount does get inhailed. Smoke is a drying agent so tell him to quit smoking immediately because if he does not stop now he can: -

Suffer from mouth cancer.

will develope sinus problems as the nose's openings in the mouth can be effected.

Is prone to the deseases related with passive smoking (effects of smoke released by the smoker in the environment).

Its easy to quit at this time or else he will start inhaling soon.
all i'm gonna say is DUH!
