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? |

Flaming Phalanges! Basket Case ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 17669 | 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. |

spill_no_sick Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 31 Gender: - Posts: 8588 | dirtyhippie: 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 if I can detatch my testicles from my brain you can detatch your heart from your brain |
ha_ha_you're_screwed Geek ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 151 ![]() ![]() | Kaylalala: 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. ![]() |

Ash. Idiot ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 871 | *ha*ha*your*screwed*:Lots Of People Smoke At A Young Age....One Of My Friends Has Smoked Since Grade 4...Sounds Crazy, But It's True. I Started But Quit Like A Month Later.....Its Not Worth It For Me. Plus, I Was Never A Fan Of The Taste Of Cig's ![]() |
ha_ha_you're_screwed Geek ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 151 ![]() ![]() | Ash.: 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. ![]() |
wake the dead. This Board Is My Home ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 30440 | *ha*ha*your*screwed*: 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. |
Anji Basket Case ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 15914 ![]() | cartilage and fluid.: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. |
Anji Basket Case ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 15914 ![]() | Kaylalala:And that makes you all the more significant to people who you are hurting? |
wake the dead. This Board Is My Home ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 30440 | Anji: 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. |
Matt Smith Admin ![]() Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 ![]() ![]() | Anji: 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. |
worn-out astronaut. Had A Life Before GSB ![]() Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 28177 ![]() ![]() | Bloodraine: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. |
Meski Addict ![]() Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 14856 ![]() | cartilage and fluid.: My case is worse. I started at 12, I don't smoke anymore but I ask for puffs when a friend has a cigarrete |
Ash. Idiot ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 871 | Meski: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.... ![]() 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." ![]() |
