tony-inpo Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Okay, as much as I hate smoking, banning it in pubs is a ridiculous idea. Its almost like saying any kind of meat should be banned from supermarkets - it just wouldn't work. I agree, I don't smoke; and agree that maybe it would be good to ban in pubs and stuff, but nocompletelyi> everywhere. Overall though. Smoking is for weak people. Think about it. It kills you - proven fact. It physically impairs your whitest killing you - coughing fits etc. It costs a fortune. Anyone who does smoke is displaying a very low intelligence level when presented whit these facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22COOL Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I smoke and I wish I never started either. I've been smoking for around 19 years, I used to smoke packs of 20's but the government put them up in price over the years to get people to stop. Pack of 20's now are around $9.85 NZ Dollars , I smoke roll your own now simply because I cant afford that price per day and a 50gram pack for around $29 last me a week. I only stared because I had that "wanna be cool attitude" and back then there were nothing about how bad it was nothing on packs no adverts telling u about it. The government has passed a law here where u can not smoke in bars, pubs, nightclubs anymore which I do feel it's a good thing. If you want to smoke u must go outside now. I would like to give up but it's bloody difficult been addictive to smoking , I would'nt say I enjoy it , I would say I continue to smoke because it's got me hooked. Oh well 1 day maybe we shall see.

Shetland Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Nope, don't ever intend to either, aside from being unhealthy I simply do not like the smell at all. I have friends who smoke or have smoked and my mum smokes. my dad gave up like 5 months ago and he's been smoking all his life, hasn't even thought of having another even though my mum smokes around him all day.

Brian Veteran Posted January 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yes, I'd say heavy. Sure its expensive and kills you but I don't mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Everyone knows that smoking causes lung cancer which will eventually kill you. Smoking is a form of suicide that people (for some reason) just seem to overlook. Yeah, and eating all those greasy chesseburgers that is giving you Heart Disease is certainly somrhting to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I hate every single one of these smoking threads. STFU everyone with your opinions of smoking and cancer. Yes I smoke, does that give you the right to bitch like an elementry school teacher to me about it. This is just like the smoking episode of south park were the anti-smoking lobbyists are evil and tabacco companies are just nice people.

Smoking is for weak people. Think about it. It kills you - proven fact. It physically impairs your whitest killing you - coughing fits etc. It costs a fortune. Anyone who does smoke is displaying a very low intelligence level when presented whit these facts. That's rediculous. That's like me telling you anything you like doing just because I don't like it makes you show little intelligence. Not everyone is completely concerned with those facts. That doesn't mean they have low intelligence. There's a lot of things out there that's not good for you. You can't live your life based off everything that's bad for you all the time or you wouldn't have much of a life to live for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chlorpromazine Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yes, frequent smoker. A pack a day (Pall Mall, if you wanna know). No, it doesn't make me cool. Yes, I know it may cause cancer, could shorten my penis and make me far less intelligent in retarded people's mind. Yes, I still like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't live your life based off everything that's bad for you all the time or you wouldn't have much of a life to live for. The addiction to Nicotine is stronger than cocaine, so I?m hardly surprised that you can't stop. I understand it must be hard, but I have never understood why so many of our 'advanced race' see to enjoy what I loving refer to as cancer sticks, but hey, its your choice. Its a shame you pollute our world with extra carbon monoxide, but we're all guilty of that.. I'm convinced that if there was a pill to make the addiction go away, instantly, that didn't cost too much - hardly anyone would take it and never smoke again Just a thought.

kronosguy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I smoke. I am proud of it. It is my decision to smoke and that's it. I don't look down on people who do things that I don't that may or may not be healthy. Some of you should try that. I know the risks I know the dangers I don't care. I want to smoke, I like smoking, and nothing/nobody can change that but me. All the statistics and sad storys in the world don't do anything for me. now, pardon me, I gotta go burn one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remix17 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 No I do not smoke and hopefully never will. I smoke. I am proud of it. It is my decision to smoke and that's it. I don't look down on people who do things that I don't that may or may not be healthy. Some of you should try that. I know the risks I know the dangers I don't care. I want to smoke, I like smoking, and nothing/nobody can change that but me. All the statistics and sad storys in the world don't do anything for me. now, pardon me, I gotta go burn one ;) Hey man chill. Smoke all you want. (As long as you don't smoke in my face) All of us do things that are not healthy, like eating fast food, which I believe is worse than smoking. But life would not be very fun if we only did things that are healthy. So if smoking makes you happy, smoke away (As long as it's not in my face) The only time you should quit is when it affects people who love and care about you, especially if they urge you to stop the unhealthy activity.

R-Flex Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 The problem with smoking is the effect on the health care system. The use should be outlawed, or since some smokers here have indicated that they don't care if they live long, as they are aware of the effects, they should avoid use of our hospitals (Canadians at least).

Agreed. Smokers should pay for their own healthcare related to their smoking. And while we are at it the fat people that have hypertension and cardio cascular disease should pay for theirs for eating all those freakin cheeseburgers and lard sandwiches.
