Ha! At times I kinda wish it was still like that...where tons of ppl smoked...just because it's sooo frowned upon here...especially when your the only person at work in your dept. going down for a smoke break...

Never ending story...But I guess it's incentive to quit...how'd you kick the habit?

i have had first had with this experiance and agree with R34, my cousin was smoking inside my house when i had my 55 up and running a few years back, i asked him the same exact thing, and he basically told me what R34 said, then grabbed a straw, took a hit, and blew it in the water column.... kind of cool to look at, absolutely nothing changed or died, but i did have a wierd filmy thing on the waters surface that went away in a few hours.

thanks but what bothers me more is that more folks are dying from cancer, and more often they claim causes to blame it upon, but they know jack!!!
People that was raised on lard instead of veggie oil lived longer.
I think that is all due to the microwaves & electronics, more now than their was then.

I concur...as long as it's not hurting my fish

Iraf · 08-21-2008, 09:54 AM

so... saying smoking is bad for your fish will make you quit?

This just in, second hand smoke causes gill cancer

now that's what i've think.

I am a huge believer in free will. If the Good Lord isn't going to reach down his hand and prevent you form smoking then I'm not about to either but I will share some food for thought...

> Keeping a reef is usually Expensive! Think of how much more $$$ you could spend on your tank if you weren't spending all that cash on smoke.
> R34Dawn, I wouldn't really worry about elevated CO2 concentrations diffusing into the tank. There are good buffer maechanisms in there to handle this anyway. On the other hand, Carbon Monoxide, Cyanide, and about 4000 other poisons are present in cigarette smoke. I figure that the less Cyanide that gets added to my tank, the better.
> Russian Roulette is bad for your health. Sharing needles is bad for your health. Smoking is bad for your health. I don't recommend any of these activiites.
>I understand that quitting is hard for some people but You Can Do It. I have yet to meet anyone that said "I wish that I hadn't quit smoking". Ever single day I see people with heart disease, strokes, or cancer who wish that they had quit sooner.

I don't think any less of you if you smoke but you can save some money and probably feel better if you choose to quit.
