You always go onto different subject. I'm not talking about the choice of it. I'm just saying it's basically the same number.

Since you were the one who brought up smoking vs. car accidents, I think its safe to say you were the one who went onto a different subject...

I still don't see any statistics from you yet, either. Making claims and not backing them up is not a good idea if you want to be taken seriously. So can you stop saying 'it's basically the same number' until you can actually prove it?

a close friend of mine has been diagnosed with cancer and she told me last night that her dr said that this type of cancer has got nothing to do with smoking, and after reading about it i have decided to say that he didnt say that, no way, or if he did then he's an idiot. if you smoke you triple your chances of getting cancer later in life.

Actually, what makes this all the more funny is that Steph just cited numbers that prove that you, Ophelia, are wrong. I would kinda like to know HER source, but as it stnds, you need yourself a rebuttal.

I think it's up to the person if they want to smoke. They know the risks, and if they want to risk it then so be it.

And I think it IS right to keep smokers out of certain places. For people who don't smoke, a) it's really unpleasant to breathe it all in, b) it gets in your clothes and your hair, c) it makes your eyes water d) it can affect asthmatics quite badly.

I don't see why these people should be made to suffer because other people have picked up afew addictions. Because if you smoke, you haven't got a bubble round your head keeping all the smoke in. If you smoke, everyone around you smokes. And saying smoking isn't as bad as it's made out to be is complete rubbish, imo. Every year 19000 europeans die from smoke related diseases, who don't even smoke.


What about someone who works in a bar or restaurant, they'd be around smoke every day for years and it's bound to damage them. It's not fair. You COULD argue that they don't have to work there, but most of the time there's no other option.

yeah, I never trust anti-smoking sites for smoking related "statistics"
and if they say that gun related deaths are under 1000 they're fucking liars

besides, all this anti-smoking shit is prolonged prohibition
it will be the eighteenth Amendment all over again
and, of course, the economy will suffer horribly (like the 500,000,000,000 dollars we've lost to anti-pot propaganda) and the underground will sell the shit like crazy

think logically, not emotionally

You smoke at the age of 14? Wow, that's going to cause alot of long term damage, especially at that age. I won't judge you, people have their reasons for smoking but maybe you should consider looking in a different direction, it's so risky to smoke. Wink

it's good that you stopped, though. Smoking is pretty risky and can really hurt you and the ones you love in the long run, that's what you have to look at. Clap

I started at 14 ><

If I knew then what I know now, I never would have started. I go hungry just to have enough money for a packet of cigarettes. It's terrible.

My grandmother started smoking at that age. My dad, sister, and I are all affected with asthma, ranging from very serious in my dad's case, to my acute asthma. I hope you realise what that does to your relatives.

It does nothing as a) If I'm at home I only ever smoke in my room and b) they all smoke as well. My mother's been smoking for over 60 years, without exaggeration.

My parents both smoke, and I do spend rather a lot of time in smokey places. I'm so used to the smell of cig smoke, I can barely smell it on people sometimes.
But I don't have asthma.

Yeah, same here. My parents, my grandma, the people around me...They all smoke. I don't have problems with difficult breathing, asthma or other problems with my lungs.

Thats Technically Still Smoking....You've Just Cut Down On How Much You Smoke In A Day/Week/Whenever. Thats Good That You've Cut Down Though....Clap

I've Been 3 Months Without A Puff Or Anything Of That Sort, Hell, I Won't Even Hold A Cigarette For A Friend Anymore. I Got My Best Friend To Quit A Month After I Stopped, And He Went 2 Months Without One, And Then Yesterday, He Just HAD To Take A Drag Outta My Friend Jess' Cigarette...I Was Like "Dudeee....So much For Quitting."
