I smoke to die

It's funny how many people tell me "smoking is bad for you". It happens all the time, I jokingly say "Oh really? Damn, you might have just saved my life", it keeps the situation light, and far from the truth. I wouldnt dare tell anyone, I smoke to die. I smoke in hopes that I'll develop lung cancer, and die. I have a history of failed active suicides, but after seeing the pain that even coming close caused to the ones I love, I cant bear to even try anymore. I've been passively suicidal for a long time, and I honestly can say, I smoke expecting to die of cancer. I want to, and I wont stop smoking until I do. Anyone else?

    If you have a long drawn out battle with cancer before you die, this will also hurt your loved ones deeply. Please seek some help. You're obviously loved by many people and it seems like you love them too if you care enough to not actively commit suicide for them. If you love them so much, why wouldn't you want to live to enjoy their company?

    Most people who smoke do it because it's a habit that is hard to quit. So I'd shut your mouth about saying people who "smoke to live" are silly. Not all people who smoke want to die. Idiot.

    Why do you want to die in the first place? What happened? You should get some help, u know people care about you, hell, even im concerned(im like that, i wish i could help, ive been there). I hope that you seek professional help. Hugs.

    It's not normal , I smoke to die as well. I'm to much of a little coward to hang myself or slit my wrists. If I had a gun I'd blow my brains out, but I don't know how to acquire one.Couldn't afford it anyway. Until I finally muster the courage to do so I will smoke and write poetry. I'm sorry your life sucks so much. It's so easy for these people to tell you to stop and seek help, its so easy for them to insult you because they dont and could never understand your pain. I'm a college freshman, go to a 'great school' I'm surrounded by ' friends' have 'a lot going for' me , but this is not what I wanted. I was born to create art.
    Maybe one day your life will make a surprising turn around and you will finally feel 'happy' till then smoke your cigarettes, but remember that if you live long enough for them to kill you it will be much more painful than any other form of suicide.
    With love,
    Alex.

    dude....NO. this is not the way you want to die. i watched my grandfather and his friend die from smoking. it's long, it's misery, it's painful as hell, and the opiates they give you don't even do anything cause it's so fucking painful. it's hell. there's much better ways to go, you don't want lung cancer.

    Carolinne I just believe this is what you have convinced yourself...you smoke to die...I think you smoke to cope with living...you have had failed suicidal attempts and living is to much for you...so you smoke to live...it make take the edge off...I honestly believe you aren't going to die until it's time for you to do so and that's after completing your assigned tasks here, whatever they may be...I hope you find some since of self before you leave and encourage you to see why your family was so hurt by your attempted suicides...are they overlooking you until you almost die? BC if that's the case once you die and the effect wears off they will be back to whatever they are doing now...Try traveling and seeing things and people of different environments...and you could use your smoking habit money to sponsor such a trip...

    You're already dead. Besides that's just plain lazy, you just like to spread misery and second hand smoke around

    I think that what you're going through is normal but how you are dealing with it isn't going to help you in any way. My advice: get out of this pitiful society and either live on your own. Travel, join the peace core, anything. You just need CHANGE and u will be healed

    Well Carolinne, I was actually curious about how many smokers smoke knowing they will die from it and disregarding the fact. Honestly, if I wanted to live , I would not smoke, smoking with the will to live is silly, sorry you're mad at life.

    Hey madninja, it takes a massive IQ to realize that if I'm trying to die from it, I would not get help from the hospital, therefore I would not spend the tax payer's money.

    PB, you may be right. Seclusion would probably be the answer. Human society disgusts me, I would love to have my own cabin or similar home in a remote area, but I would have to be able to afford it first. Actually hunting my food etc would be something I'd love to learn anyways :P

      I completely agree. I've always wanted to try hunting for food and growing my own crops! we often forget where food cones from; the earth, animals... Actually having to exert myself to retrieve food is how I think it should be. I recommend the book "The Hunger Games" by susanne Collins... It REALLY made me wake up and see what a brainwashed, ignorant air head I was and about 80
      %of our society.

      I also recommend the movie "into the wild"

    There are better ways to die and are also more fun then smoking. Fill your clothes with candy and jump off a middle school when the kitties are coming out. Human pinata
