I think smoking is a personal choice, and if someone makes that choice, they should deal with the consequences.

And respect people who don't smoke by not smoking aorund them.

That's kind of a hard thing to do when there's like 83736736271829828373674647383837873 people in the world and you're a heavy smoker.
I know I don't do that though, whenever I smoke, it's in my room.

I don't think it's that harmful, I mean you've got just as much chances from dying from cigarette smoking than you do getting hit by a car and it relieves depression so I don't commit suicide and die that way.

Smoking is bad for you and because tobbaco is leggalsised as so many people use it does that mean that drugs like cocaine and ecstasy will too become llegal?
I know it is hard for smokers to give up beacause both my parents have recently given up. I was a passive smoker as i spent so much time around them. One thing smokers may not realise is haw much they smell! ( no offence) But they do!

In England in 2004/05 there were approximately 1.4 million NHS hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of a disease that can be related to smoking. This has increased from around 1.1 million admissions in 1995/96.
There were over 10 million hospital admissions of adults aged 35 and over in England in 2004/05. Over half a million (559,800) of these admissions are estimated to be attributable to smoking.
In England and Wales in 2004, there were a total of 500,755 deaths of adults aged 35 and over. An estimated 88,800 (18 per cent) of these were caused by smoking, with a larger proportion of men (23 per cent) estimated to die than women (13 per cent) from smoking- related diseases.

Thats from the National Health Service records. So if you try to argue that smoking is not harmful your living in la la land.

I never said it wasn't harmful, I said it's not that harmful. Now find statistics relating too car accidents, there's probabaly the same amount as them that there are smoking related deaths.

NeoSteph:

It won't get you kicked off, but we'd like you to state your source. so just put the organisation or website you got it from no biggy.

''Today there are nearly 50,000,000 smokers in the United States, which is nearly 20% of our entire population. 20% of the 42,191 who died in 1998 automobile accidents were smokers, your chances of dying from smoking are 50 times greater than being killed in a car accident. With those kind of odds, why even wear a seatbelt? With 220,000 middle aged smokers dying this year, each an average of 22.5 years early,''


oh look
