Do you have to smoke cigs to really enjoy Rock and Roll?

I love rock and roll and music in general. A LOT of songs mention cigarettes by many bands and artist. So my questions is, to enjoy rock and roll to its zenith, must I become a smoker? Is there something about smoking cigarettes that make rock and roll more fun?|||wtf are you smoking? no way.|||I get you. All around you on a daily basis you鈥檙e going to run into people that don鈥檛 smoke. Do these people seem like they鈥檙e enjoying life any less than you are? Do they appear to be enjoying themselves less because they don鈥檛 smoke? Do they appear more stressed out? What you should see is that all those people around you who don鈥檛 smoke are exactly like you are 鈥?and they go through the exact same things that you do, with the only difference being that they don鈥檛 immerse themselves in clouds and clouds of smoke!


But many people that do smoke continue to do so simply because they feel a need to. The general feeling is that if they were to stop smoking they鈥檇 end up feeling more down, less happy, more stressed out, etc. While it is true that smoking releases dopamine which causes a slight euphoria and makes you feel relazed 鈥?the question that you should really be asking yourself is whether or not you need smoking in order to be able to feel content and relaxed!


From the beginning of your life, right up to the point where you started smoking, you managed to cope well without cigarettes. What makes you think that you need to smoke or you wouldn鈥檛 be able to cope from this point forward? When exactly did you start feeling that way? Chances are, you probably don鈥檛 even remember the exact point when you became dependent on cigarettes 鈥?but that really doesn鈥檛 matter.


All things said and done, smoking is a habit that is dangerous 鈥?and it will probably end up killing you unless you quit at some point or other. Now that you know that there鈥檚 really no justification for thinking that you 鈥榥eed鈥? cigarettes, it is up to you to take the next step, and firmly decide to kick your unwanted habit!





God bless!|||No not at all. Most rockers smoke because they like to do things that make them feel/look bad (cool). Society has made it seem like rock n roll is all about drinking and smoking, but it really isnt. They only make it seem that way because most of the geniuses behind the music smoked and drank. The only real way to enjoy and appreciate rock music is to discover its meaning and to have the ability to relate to it. Alot of bands glorify smoking, but that's just to look cool and draw attention to themselves. I've enjoyed rock music to it's fullest without smoking or drinking my whole life. Alcohol only impairs your thoughts and smoking is just another addiction. Smoking definitely isn't worth it. Cigarettes are very bad for your health and can cause damage that can never be fixed. Once you smoke and fill your lungs with tar, you can't get rid of it. Cigarettes are highly addicting and a waste of money. At 6 bucks a pack, with an addiction that runs through a pack every two days..you'd be spending an extra $1086 a year, JUST on ciggarettes. To enjoy rock is to actually feel and understand it's true meaning. Don't throw your life away on cigarettes over rock music. Rock music is better interpreted without drugs, smoking and alcohol.


Hope this helps|||No. Now whether being a smoker is seen as rebellion and gives you more cred with a certain audience is a different matter. Personally I'd rather not be seen as cool and "one of us" by the smoker crowd but to each their own. The proven effects of it far outweigh any socialization benefit.|||Smoking doesn't help you enjoy anything. It doesn't make you look cool. It stinks. It's constant pain on the lungs. And there's always the looming threat of lung cancer. Do yourself a favor and just forget about cigs. They're not worth anything, and it is too difficult for a lot of people to quit.|||Sure, if hacking up a lung and being treated for emphysema or lung cancer is your idea of fun.


You don't need cigarettes to enjoy music. You don't need to get drunk to have fun at a party. You don't need drugs to get friends.|||Plz no not another smoker in America I haven't ever touched one and I'm so obsessed with rock. I even know the stuff about ppl I don't like|||i don't know about smoking but i know riding down the road with a big dip in with the windows rolled down singing farmers daughter is pretty fun :)|||Lol no hell no more ale if anything dont take up smoking please|||Trolling at its finest|||No, you don't.|||A lot of songs are about dope too...and I wouldn't really suggest that.|||lol no, but try LSD|||No. end of story
