I have never smoked and try as best as I can to avoid anyone who does smoke.

My opinion on smoking is if people want to f*** up their lives by doing drugs to be cool let them. I honestly don't care as long as i'm smart enough to know not too.

Some kids start smoking because they think it looks cool but believe me it doesn't - it just looks silly.

How cool is it to have dog breath, stinky hair and clothes and discoloured teeth and tongue? Not very.

I also really hate seeing people smoke all over babies and young children or pregnant women smoking. :cry:

I'm also convinced that most cigarette brands these days have at least 20-30% stable sweepings because the smoke smells like burning horse dung.

I personally despise smokers, I live with a family of smokers and whenever they light up a cancer stick I have to roll open the window because they're too lazy too do it themselves. From all of these commercials about "one huff could get you addicted" and "don't do drugs kids, you'll die" intended to scare people had gotten to me as young child, and now im avoiding passive smoke because I've spent 15 years breathing it in, Im surprised I don't have lung cancer now.

Non smokers benefit from smokers.

I said this once before, may have been this thread, or another like it.
Non-smokers have discounts on several types of insurance, life and health mostly, sometimes car insurance
If there were "no smokers", those discounts would not exist.

Smokers pay into Social Security in the USA, and in other countries, something similar to it.. They die earlier (on average) and this leaves more to be distributed among the living, usually non-smokers, who as i said, outlive smokers.

Heh; I'd prefer ya'll just took shots to make you die 10 years earlier (ie: the end effect of chronic smoking).

I think it tastes and smells great, currently I only smoke lightly and people barely notice it because I clean myself frequently. I do it only when I need to calm down or before I go out into public so I wont freak out when I get there. It works better than any med Ive ever had

Yea, except it only gets that bad when youve been habbitually smoking it for every day of your life, or if you smoke non-filtered cigs one after another every singe day for 10 years or so, like someone I know. Hes about my age and his doctor told him hes going to die in his early twenties. Plus Ill more than likely end up quitting soon anyway, I never let myself get addicted to things, besides my computer anyway haha

Smoking is rank and smells. What else needs saying?

I've never smoked and I don't intend to. Smoking, in my opinion, is an indirect way to commit suicide because it brings about bad health problems that would only hasten death. So honestly, I never saw the sense in smoking. It is just twisted.

Smoking does look cool. I wish there were non-poisonous cigarettes. Because I will certainly not smoke the currently common, semi-lethal model...
