If you smoke a cigarette how long does it last?
It depends on if you are in a hurry or not. When I was walking to school and having a smoke and relaxing, a cigarette would last me 7 minutes (this is when I am not dragging on it constantly). If I am in a hurry and need to get one down pretty quick, I can smoke one in about 3 minutes or a little less, but that is constantly pulling on the cigarette. If I am sitting in a bar BSing, probably about 5 minutes.

Why do so many people in Germany smoke cigarettes?
Antismoking in Germany has a distasteful past somewhat similar to alcohol Prohibition in the US, and thus there's a similar tendency to rebel against "do-gooders" trying to set extreme levels of control. The entire idea, at least formally verbalized, of passive smoking came from a German antismoking researcher, Fritz Lickint, author of the thousand page "Tobacco and the Organism" in 1939 where he invented the term Passivrauchen -- Passive Smoking. Lickint wasn't formally a Nazi (he even had some trouble with the Nazis) but he supported their antismoking campaign strongly and formulated proposals for their anti-tobacco movement, "including a smoking ban for youths under 18 years old, education of women by physicians on the dangers of smoking, production of nicotine-free/reduced tobacco, increased protection of non-smokers (e.g. in public), counselling for tobacco addicts (potentially linked to counselling on the dangers of alcohol), promotion of research on the dangers of smoking, and establishment of a tax-funded Deutscher Bund zur Bekaempfung der Tabakgefahren (German Alliance to Fight the Dangers of Tobacco)." ( Tobacco policies in Nazi Germany: not as simple as it seems )Heh, of course not even the Nazis were crazy enough to try to ban smoking in pubs or in people's flats, but their activities have still left the German people with a bad taste for that kind of Orwellian control over their personal lives and freedoms. Thus the tendency to resist the modern antismoking movement and thus any higher rates of smoking observed.MJM, who passively smokes at least a dozen or so cigarettes per day while he is actively smoking them...
I just smoked a cigarette after 4 months of quitting it and I feel horrifically guilty. What should I do?
Be Gentle with Yourself. Recovery from an addiction is a process. Each addiction serves its purpose to teach you something and was an action you needed at the time to get cope within the resources available to you. Congratulations on wanting to change and find a more healthy coping mechanism. You are not perfect and shouldn't beat yourself up for not being perfect. Guilt can be motivational and inspiring to make change. Yet when this shifts to rumination that is when it starts to get unhealthy and you need to move one. Use the guilt and painful feelings to motivate you to abstain from smoking in the future. Past is gone and change starts again..now.--Learn from the experience. Realize the Triggers that got you to smoke this time around and do your best to avoid them in the future. Was it your environment, the people you were around or a particularly hard day at work. --Visualize and Find the Deeper Meaning. Visualize how you would feel quitting this bad habit and really grasp the deeper meanings of why you don't want to smoke. Is it to be there for your loved ones? Set a good example for others around you? etc. Really get to the deeper more meaningful reasons of why you want to stop this bad habit so that you can put real emotion behind your motivation to quit. -Strategize new copings. When you are feeling stressed what else can you do to feel better. Take a bath, yoga, walk your dog or call a friend. Make a list. And Most Importantly Forgive Yourself and Move ForwardUse this uncomfortable feeling to propel you forward and motivate you to make it to 5 months, then a year, and then the rest of your life without smoking. You are not perfect nor do you have to be. Bad habits are hard to break, yet the desire to change is the greater battle and pat yourself on the back for making it that far. Congratulate yourself to making it to 4 months. Some people never make it this far. You are Strong. You can do this.
I smoked one cigarette while on birth control?
I smoked half of a cigarette last night on accident (had too many drinks) and I'm on birth control. Is that bad? I haven't had a puff of a cigarette in 5 years. I'm probably over thinking it. To anyone wants to tell me birth control, cigarettes, and alcohol are bad just don't I'm of age and am completely healthy.
Could you smoke a cigarette at the top of Mount Everest?
I believe people have. Or at least close to the summit. Lighters work up there as do matches as people have carried stoves up and over. Mick Burke, I believe, smoked on the way up the SW Face. But he never came back down and his body was never recovered.There's a photo in the Annapurna South Face book of one of the Brits (I'm thinking Burke) taking a drag on a fag during a snow storm while hanging on a fixed rope. That's pretty high up. That might have been Burke. I don't have my copy handy.The problem for smokers is if you use supplemental O2, you have an extreme fire risk, so you have to keep the matches, lighter, and cig. away from face masks (which are usually flammable). Some of these demand-diluter masks have caught fire with faces inside them. Many Asians and Europeans and others smoke.We just had a discussion about this with American mountain troops and German mountain troops in WWII, and the Americans basically didn't smoke unlike most other American troops AND the German mountain troops. This made an impression on the German commander who was amazed how fast the Americans moved.Don't start.
How come you cant smoke cigarettes the day before oral surgery?
The actualy reason they tell you not to smoke before hand is the same as it is for any surgery. When you smoke, the little muscle at the top of your stomach that separates your stomch and esophagus relaxes. Many people who smoke have GERD or acid reflux. Smoking doesn't have a long effect on this muscle, however... It's not like you destroy it by smoking, the smoke just makes it kinda lazy. When you go for surgery, they want you to not smoke the day before because if that muscle is too relaxed during the surgery, you could vomit and then inhale it and that is not good at all. Even though you aren't allowed anything to eat or drink before the procedure, you still produce stomach acid and whatever little bit of drink you cheat and take in in the morning!! So telling you not to smoke is only protecting you from developing an aspiration pneumonia. This being said, the likliness of you actually vomiting when you are getting your wisdom teeth removed is not good. Most people do just fine as I am sure you will. It is only a precaution that they tell you no smoking. Good luck with your procedure!
