Smoking

Between classes I see about 10% of my class smoking (and even more of the nurses). To each his own, but after looking at emphysema cadaver lungs I can't see how anyone would smoke. Then again I still drink and have seen cirrhosis livers too. So, how many of you smoke?

Edit: Evidently the mods have no sense of humor and changed the title of this thread from "Fags and squares" to its current name. How boring. I don't even care if anyone smokes, I just wanted to see who I could get a rise out of by using slang instead of just "cigarette". Hey leorl, if I use the word "niggardly" are you gonna change that too?

Ha ha, are you in England or somewhere? I don't think anyone here has ever heard of cigarettes being called fags 😉 . IIRC in the British Isles the way you ask for a spare cigarette is to say "Can I bum a ***?". Weird. I'm surprized that so many of your classmates smoke. In my class there was only a handfull, but peer pressure got to them pretty quickly. Now there's none.

Peter- "Does anyone understand what that Brit is saying?"

Cleveland- "The only British idiom I know is that "***" means "cigarette"'

Peter- "Well then someone tell this cigarette to shut up"

I'm not from England, but I do live right next door (Ohio). To be truthful, not a lot of my classmates smoke, but the second years are like chimneys, and both of my roommates smoke a fair amount daily. By the way, do you by chance like to burn ******s. I do, especially in the fall.

Another edit: Jesus, I feel like I'm in communist Russia. Those stars would be "*** gots".

Yes, now you're getting it. You have to alter the fu<king words. $hit, f*ck..etc. To answer your question, No I don't have a fr1gging fireplace, I just have the buildings central system which sucks a$s. 😀

I was in London for a term last year, doing one of the required projects for my school. My group (3 guys and myself) were working at the education department of the Tower of London, and one day we get up to the office and hear one of the women there with whom we are working, carrying on about "two guys fagging in the stairwell"! We were aware that "***" was a term for a cigarette, but it was still hilarious as we had not really heard it used. Plus the way she was flipping out was funny (she's very much anti-smoking, and I agree with her, but it was still just funny to watch).

Speaking of anti-smoking in Britain, here's a link to a British Heart Foundation public service announcement that I saw a lot while I was there:

People tended to find it rather disgusting, which appears to have been the idea. I thought it was quite well done.
