where you smoke one anyway?
Originally posted by fudgester:Yes, I am. I kick you in the arse now so that you jolly well wake up your ideas.
If you want to know, my uncle passed away recently at the young age of 57.
Cause of death: lung cancer.
Elapsed time between diagnosis and death: four weeks.
Probable cause of cancer: he was a chain smoker for over 20 years.
You think you had it rough, eh?
My uncle had to learn the really, really hard way that smoking doesn't pay. For you, the lesson is a $330 fine and some ass-whooping by the fellas here at sgforums. The question is, are you gonna be smarter and truly be a man by learning this little lesson?
Looking at his response ("stereotypical", "You got your own views, i got mine"), I think he isn't gonna change or learn anything from this.
He should probably already know we are trying to HELP him, not the other way around, so it's his choice to make. In the end, he is the one paying the price, not us.
Let him be FS... He's partially right... He can do watever he wans with his life... However we can do watever we wan too~
Tat includes luffing at him...

Nice, your trying to help by laughing, stellar, my day is complete.
and sorry about ur uncle dude, but please dun assume im a chain smoker, obviously it makes an ass out of u n me. im sure more than enough of singapore know that smoking leads to death and all sorts of shit, but honestly those ppl that die, they got attribute and tell us about the other factors like stress and depression? Most probably not. My grandmother chain smoker for as long as i could remember survive till 80+. She was happy with getting smoke in her lungs, for all i know it could be keeping her alive lol.
But do u honestly think slapping a 330 dollar fine on a smoker and litter bug changes him in anyway? Singapores approach srsly damn fucked up. If ur a smoker yourself you would probably know that, after you tell this kind of story to your buddies they will probably offer you yet another cigerette and ask you smoke it off and forget about it. But what do i know man. im just a kid right?

If u think u will only keep getting fine, by all means continue. My fellow volunteers and myself will welcome ur arrival to join our group of boys. Better still, let ur school catch you and its a 1 way ticket in.
Being a smoker for over ten years myself.. I gotta tell u this.. young that time don't so arrogant.. people tell u things.. u like or don't like just listen humbly.. What stress and depression? Stress go run or pick up a sport, depression go see a shrink and jiak your medicine..

Im just trying to be objective here. Im neither stressed nor depressed, sure i understand that every stick i smoke probably puts me an inch closer to the grave, i give thanks for all your concern even you people might not know me, but what im trying to put across here is people shouldnt be so stereotypical against smokers underage or not.
and dkcx.
My school bo zheng hu one, dun bother. All underage smokers get caught are protected and most severe case ive seen is police warning letter, no fine issued even, how to give anything else when they are under the jurisdiction of the school? All prinicipal want to protect their lovely schools reputation.

Thats ur sch then but there are more ways than just the sch which will sent u to us. If u choose to carry on ur ways, good luck then. I won't deny not all underage smokers are with us but of all my boys, i would say less than 10% are non smokers making them a rare commodity.

Yes im sure you know that most of them are probably actually nice people as well. But its not your say right.

If u want the truth, some make me feel surprised why they are there while some make me surprised why their sentence is so short. I even have boys who act like angels in front of me and act like devils in school and to others when i discuss about them with the staffs.
However whats more important is how many change when they leave and how many are ready to upgrade their stay and move to changi in the very near future.

Haha i suppose your not wrong either, no arguement there lol, but i dun think ill be doing anything jialat enough to see you anytime soon lol.

Haha, i won't even know if u do since we don't see all the boys but only selected boys.
However i would say most of my better behave boys are the non smokers and just so happen both of my better behave boys were there due to sexual offences rather than the more common smoking/fighting/rioting.

I don't see any stereotypes.
You yourself admit you know that smoking is hazardous to your own health, so obviously you don't qualify under the "kid that does not know he is killing himself" category.
And you say that you are "neither stressed nor depressed", which leaves very possible reasons for you to be smoking, all of which I feel are very unnerving.
I'd rather you be smoking BECAUSE you are stressed and depressed rather than not.
Almost every smoker I know, underaged or not, know that every puff they take is killing them, and as a friend, it is my duty and obligation to remind them so, in hopes that they decide to put an end to their harmful habit, whatever reasons they have for smoking in the first place.
Once again, I ask you, without the condescending tone from age difference, why are you smoking? I'm not wanting a reason so as to despise and insult you, but I am really, really curious.
Do note, I might even be younger than you.

Wow this puts this conversation in an very interesting light i must admit lol.
Ok first things first, smoking isnt an health issue to me, we are all going to die some day, i could die tomorrow for all i know should divine providence have it so, in my opinion we should just live life with no regrets. I studied bio before, so i know all the carcinogens and crap in cigs. But i also do know that, 10 million other things also lead to cancer but this is not what you want to know right.
so moving on, i smoke really as a social thing and of course the occasional destress from exams and stupid NEA fines lol. Yes it might sound stupid and retarded/ridiculous to smoke for social reasons to everyone who doesnt. In cliche terms it borders around "Acting cool" but its not. I would just say that, it adds a similarity between you and another smoker, which so called, brings you closer? In a way, its goes along the adage of, "People like people like themselves." Im not trying to say that im like some sociopath and got no friends, that one really gone case. But you get what im trying to put across?
Since you are not even scare of dying tomorrow, why scare of kena caught by NEA? I mean some of the people here maybe using a mocking tone or whatever, but underage is seriously not something we want to encourage. You have got your rights of cos but I guess people just want to point out that there might be something about smoking you have underestimated.

Yeah, makes sense. All of it I guess.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, was rather enlightening in a way.
And since we've already expressed our concern on smoking being bad for you, I guess all that's left to say is good luck with the NEA thing, and I hope you draw the line at smoking and drinking for socialising.
Just make sure you don't regret this someday.

I'm guessing the NEA thing is just more of an inconvenience, and that since it is something he never encountered before, it is natural he would want to know more about what situation he is in.
"You have got your rights of cos but I guess people just want to point out that there might be something about smoking you have underestimated."
Thanks for helping us bring the point across without sarcasm haha.

This is the part we give the cliche speech on how "your family just wants what's best for you because they love you".
And yes, I understand what you mean (COMPLETELY) because I'm a teenager, but the fact remains that your family just wants what's best for you because they love you.

Haha thanks, dont worry i wont, ive been through enough to learn to live life without regrets, and even if i regret, there is no point mulling over it.
And yes, just that, dun want to disappoint my family what, i mean its not going to be as easy telling them what i just posted what. And then i wont know how they are going to react and everything, not easy la lol.
But very suay, im 9 months to being 18. Borderline legal then tio this kind of daiji.
Originally posted by Xiaoming7:Okok i cut to the chase, today i smoke finish flick the cig butt on the floor kana approach by NEA officer. But can NEA catch for underage smoking? Or only littering? (cause according to some of my frens they only allowed to fine for littering)
Then do they give u the summon on the spot then ask you wait for letter? No chance one ah?
Then can he refer me to HSA and make me pay for the underage smoking fine also?
suay sia.
I find these questions strange.
You did not kena caught, and you are just asking IF you kena caught,
Or
The NEA officers approach you, ask for your NRIC, record your particulars, then walk away without saying another word.
Originally posted by Xiaoming7:Theres no point tbh, your biased against me cause your stereotypical, and theres no sense in debating over this. You got your own views, i got mine. You dont have to act wiseguy, im asking for help, and i never offend you people before, so i dont see why you should be laughing at my misery, if its even considered one lol.
Technically, he's not stereotypical. There's remotely nothing stereotypical about his comment. You are underage, and you are smoking, it's against the law, and that's your own fault, what's there to stereotype?
