Smoking - yuck!

Majic · #3 02-24-2002, 03:42 PM

judging by it helps the enviroment in absolutely no way, hurts the smoker, hurts the things around it even more, and is just sick, smoking is one of the worst ideas ever....

Do you now that it is more healthy to smoke then sitting next to someone who smokes.

If you smoke you get a bit filterd dirt in your longs, when you sit next to someone the dirt don't pass the filter...

Fazerina · #5 02-24-2002, 04:03 PM

*yack* I don't understand how anyone can smoke. All you get by smoking is a terrible smell to your hair and clothes and everywhere, yellow tooth, yellow finger tips and diceases like cancer. And you're destroying the Rain Forests and the atmosphere...

If you smoke 1 sigaret you live MORE then 10 !!!!!! minuts shorter!!!!

Majic · #7 02-24-2002, 04:12 PM

yea i know about the scond hand thing. the filter blocks out aobut, o if i remember like 30/300 chemicals and stuff. i mean, ccigs have like plutonium and fermaldahyd and that rat poison stuff....... and if you smoke a pack a day, for 1 year, like alot of people do, you end up with like a quart of TAR in your lungs.... and then some people have to have holes cut in their throat so they can function, some people like taht cant teach themselves to talk again so they have to use a little box thing.... and then chewing tobabco is just as disgusting, it ha *shudders* fiber glass in it so it cuts your gums. all for a little speedage in gettin high... yack... anyone here who smok or somethin i strongly pity you, from the deepest depths of my 3rd heart.....

In recent times I've found anti-smoking campaigners to be more annoying than smokers themselves. I'll be the first to admit that smoking cigarettes isn't the healthiest habit in the world, but there are many popular myths about smoking, many of which have been mentioned in this thread.

Firstly, it is not more healthy to smoke than to sit next to someone who is smoking. Common sense tells us that the person with the cigarette would be breathing in just as much, if not more unfiltered smoke from the tip of the smoke than the person sitting next to them.

Smoking cigarettes doesn't damage the environment. Cig smoke is miniscule in comparison to factories, cars, natural pollution, etc. It's ridiculous, the only thing you could pin on smokers regarding the environment is irresponsibly discarding the butts, which doesn't apply to all of us. Smoking doesn't yellow the teeth, and the smell is only noticable immediately after they have smoked. Yes, it's unhealthy. But so is eating meat, sugar and oil. Smoking a cigarette doesn't take ten minutes off your life, do you really expect someone to believe that? Exaggerating the effects of smoking is dishonest, although I assume people here are simply victims of anti-smoking propaganda. I only smoke a pack a week, if that.

Ugghhh yack! Smoking stinks and is ment to taste bad, makes you die young and all this for some simple "I'm cool" addiction! (how can I make a point with the screen name Molluck?!

)

It isn't right to shame people into not smoking with twisted logic and mutant statistics. Of course, smoking isn't my bag but if you smoke I don't go all over you. I call the war against smoking and drugs the new prohibition. When will people learn that you only have control over yourselves and that people just want to be free to do what they want. Second hand smoke is way overemphisized. Saying secondhande smoke is just as bad as smoking is like saying if someone burps a moist beer cloud on you it hurts you as much as drinking the beer. Also, those anti smoking commercials and ads are produced by the cig companies themselves because they had to because of some whakked out 200 billion dollar lawsuit. What's next, suing food companies because they sell a dangerous burger or snack with too many killer kalories? Oh, wait, laywers are in the process of doing that as I type this. Conniving lawyer slime.

Jacob · #11 02-24-2002, 05:59 PM

Basically...until u have tried it dont start to diss it. I have tried it and i find it vulger really. Quite disgusting...and basically people who smoke cigarettes are common...i prefare cigars (Although they are gross aswell) I would smoke a Spliff as they can be used in the game 'Passy' which does sound rather invigorating and fun to say the least...!! But yer...it makes u reek and u have awful mood swings wen ur nicotine lvl is down...

MunchOnThis · #12 02-24-2002, 06:00 PM

Smoking......Here's my view. * Breathes in deeply and starts couting to ten*

*Sam and Dan glare weridly at me*

Smoking is.......YUCK!

My grandad smokes 24/7 and whenever I go 2 his house IT stinks the place out!
Smoking is horrible and you die a lot sooner than non-smokers.

Disgruntled Intern · #13 02-24-2002, 06:54 PM

I don't have any opinions about smoking really. It's the chain smokers that amuse me however...I can honestly say, that i smoke maybe 13 cigarettes in a year. I'm not a big smoker, although i have been known to light one up on occasion...

i hate those stupid truth commercials.... people shudd have the right to smoke if they want to and no 1 shud be able to tell them not to.

Statikk HDM · #15 02-24-2002, 09:02 PM

Those damned dog poop anti smoking commercials are really just reverse psychology.
The cigarette companies made these commercials to seem so bogus, to be so grating and infernal that you would pass them off. That is why you here about golden retriever shit and The ShredMaster200 and unesscesary junk like that. You don't see moth cancer statistics, pictures of chain smokers lungs and reports showing how companies add and manipulate nicotine in their products because they've known it to be addictive. It is a choice if you want to smoke or not, i'm not here to beat the "smoking is bad" dead horse but really, would a cigarette company tell you it's dirty and (in some cases) unlawful dealings and expose it's skeletons? Or would they rather turn something that is supposed to be a public health announcement into a ludicris mockery of itself so you dismiss it. There is a reason why the surgeon general says things such as "Smoking may cause cause emphysema and lung cancer' instead of "cigarettes have ammonia in them, so does dog poop" Eh, just food for thought.

Steve · #16 02-25-2002, 01:26 AM

well for one thing I've never seen the words "dog poop" on a surgen general warning well I have no other thing regarding that post.

a better question: should the government take away smoking in certain areas (theres a city by me that took away smoking in puplic reseraunts). and if so what areas?

abe22 · #17 02-25-2002, 02:46 AM

I don't smoke and I hate the smell of it but I don't care if you do. I think it should be banned in some places though like restaurants and not to mention right outside the door because its not healthy and it goes into the food and there might be children around.

Surfacing · #18 02-25-2002, 03:49 AM

I hate people that smoke, i'm a passive smoker and i hate that smell how the hell can you smoke that? cigarettes should be illigal every were around the world, why don't smokers find something else to get additced too?

Well, I actually believe those things. They are not "myths", but the truth.

MunchOnThis · #21 02-25-2002, 04:09 PM

I hate people who smoke twenty-four seven.

Maybe you should chant this 24/7 to stop smokers smokin: '

*takes a deep breath*

*chants* SMOKIN' SUCKS! SMOKIN' SUCKS!

It doesn't just kill them,it kills us!(passive smoking)

That is like so not true! If you're a smoker yourself, of course you can't notice the smell so easily, but the smell really stays in your clothes and especially in your hair. I dated this one guy for a while, who was a smoker and he smelled really awful. It didn't make any difference if he had just smoked or not. The smell stayed in his jacket and in his hair and it sure wasn't nice.

Jacob · #23 02-25-2002, 07:34 PM

MunchonThis...if u do that...u shall lose limbs...aswell as alot of blood...shush.

•[cyrus]• · #24 02-25-2002, 09:15 PM

*!hacks!* Smoking is absolutley discusting! Why would someone want to kill themselves by taking stupid white sticks and putting them in their mouths, then *blowing smoke*'!

On the top of that, Who wants to kill'em selves?

Maybe he should try washing his hair and clothes every once in a while.

Jacob · #26 02-25-2002, 09:37 PM

Well...it starts off as looking kool. And then it turns into a addiction...but most peeps i know who smoke sed they'd stop smoking if they could. But really...dont start to say stuff until u'v tried it...my families like that and the arguments we have are awful...cos they are all into 'Judging before getting to know/trying something/someone' Hate my family...bastards!! (Sorry if i cant say that...B*stards <

My grandpa died from cancer caused by smoking. Originally it was in his lungs. After spending many months in the hospital and a lot of Keemo (I have no idea how to spell that) therapy it was eventually killed in his lungs. However, it had spread to other parts of his body and eventually killed him. Smoking is very bad and has caused great sorrow in my family.

The Indians in Amerika gave the 'secret' smoking to the guys from Europe to kill them all. They new that smoking was not very healthy; smoking is a curse from the Indians fro America!

Cool Paramite · #30 02-26-2002, 03:45 PM

I never heard of THAT!
