might take up smoking

What a horrible way to treat someone.

Firstly, smoking carries a string of health benefits. I'm not exaggerating, the list is endless, so there certainly are pros. One pro might also be that it's an enjoyable, relaxing activity.

Secondly, smoking does not 'double' your chance of getting diseases like cancer. The vast majority of people with lung cancer are smokers, but the vast majority of smokers will not develop lung cancer. Your risk is raised significantly but it still remains infinitesimally small, because the risk in the first place is almost non-existent.

Natural Selection at its finest

I'm actually curious what the pros are. My Granddad had mouth and throat cancer because of his smoking and I'm pretty sure my father's chest infection 10 years ago was related to him smoking.

You may as well just set fire to ****loads of notes.

Do you know with any certainty that his mouth and throat cancer were caused by smoking? It is very possible the mutations that led to cancer were not sparked by a cigarette. Cancer from smoking is extremely rare. I am writing a post on the pros now.

OP is probably on to the right concept that girls like a guy with an edgy rebellious image.

However the fact he is suggesting developing a style/fashion sense that will make him look a knob and has some weird rules about only smoking when its snowing or whatever, makes me think he's not exactly going to be James Dean.

OP you did the right thing asking on the internet for advice before you take this step, you need a bit of a rethink.

i am actually attractive though. maybe thats why it works!

guarantee the hottest girls in the club will be smokers

This isn't instant messenger. I am replying in my good time, be more patient.
