not to mention the overall disgusting scam of cigarrettes, Everyone knows they are addictive and can kill, so why are they still on the market?? thats one of those government consipracy things where, yes, they benefit a whole lot from people that are hopelessly addicted to them, its very sad, no smiley face for that, its a very vicious cycle. I might go in depth if anyone opposes me or is with me

SMOKING KILLS. it's bad for your health and the health of the people around you while you are smoking. HOWEVER. IT MAKES YOU LOOK COOL!!!!i dont care what anyone says there are just some things you cant say unless you can follow it by flicking the end of a cigarette and popping it in your mouth to take a puff. I dont smoke by anymeans but that is what me and my friend came up with one day.

I don't think we can be overzealous towards ciggies, If people want to smoke let them, if people don't like it then don't offend them with it.

it's just a matter of personal choice

you have to remember though you're exposed to just as dangerous carcinogens in every day life, brake pads use asbestos and hence that dust gets into the air, petrol contains a bounty of various organic molecules containg aromatic rings which are on the whole carcinogens (unless bound up into large stable soilds like kevlar), exhaust fumes produce nasty chemicals too

/me thinks living is bad for you.

its actually not just a matter of personal choice. just because living as-is is unhealthy already, there is still no sense in making it worse.

Get a life Blizz, If you think smoking ciggarettes only affects the smoker your wrong. Second hand smoke kills more non-smokers than smoking kills smokers. Its a proven fact. Being alergic to tobbaco smoke, I've done detailed reports for school classes on the ill effecs of second hand smoke. Did you know that the smoker breathes in most (but not all) of the chemicals and tar into his mouth but it never enters his lungs. He then proceeds to blow it off into the air where it kills those who breath it in. Most often those who die from tobacco smoke inhalation live with a smoker but don't actually smoke themselves.

I'm about as Anti-Drug/Anti-Alcahol as you can get without actually going out and tring to stop it. But I hate those addtictive habbits with a passion. My Mom smokes and she know better than to even be near me while she's doing it :) I hate the smell, kinda good I'm moving in mith my g/f after were married, I can get away from it! Of course I'll never truely escape it, out side is still considered a public place, dam!

I'm not really anti anything, i mean i don't smoke but i have the occasional drink. if people want to smoke, thats their choice. If you don't like secondary smoke either tell them to leave, or you leave. The fact about more people dying by secondary smoke i'm not sure about that, where did you get it from eagle?

Downunder smoking is banned nearly everywhere, resturaunts, shopping centres and most indoor places so there is not much of a problem down here that i know of but i guess it maybe different where you live.

And i would have to agree with Blizz in saying that there are alot of other things as dangerous to us as smoking is. step outside and look around.

actcually Eagle the studys are wrong. they dont take into account that smokers are also taking in the second hand smoke. and there are more non smokers than smokers which is why it seems that more non smokers die as a cause of second hand smoke than smokers. around the smoke (both the smokers and non-smokers) breath in the second hand smoke. I am also alergic to tobaco smoke and have done my research

Well thats true, but my point is, "SMOKING KILLS MORE THAN JUST THE SMOKER!!!" and anyone who says "Its my body, I'll do what I want." needs to think about that

Well, gokuss4 I don't see how the government has much of a choice. Yes they could declare tobacco an illegal drug, but doing so could have strong reprecussions on the economy. The only way to get rid of it all together is the way they are currently doing, By slowly increasing taxes and levies on the industry until it slowly fades away. It will take a long time to do, but I trust it will happen. Once the industry has been damaged by the taxes, it can then be outlawed with little economic damage.

It's all about addiction. Even if it was illegal people would still be smoking cigarettes. Making it illegal would just increase criminality. Remember what happened when they made booze illegal?
