Then just hand roll one cigarette at a time if you want to reduce your smoking.

People say the fountian of youth is real I say if you start cloning people and harvest their organs when you need new ones you could live a lot longer.

People should have the freedom to choose whether they poison themselves or not. I saw about a half a year of my dad dying from lung cancer though and that settled it for me, but if people want to quite potentially subject themselves to a slow and painful death let it be on their own hands. People ought to really meet some people dying from lung cancer or suffering from COPD or other diseases caused by smoking before they get themselves addicted though.


That would make perfect sense except for the fact that MOST people will die slow painful deaths.. wether they smoke cigarettes or they don't. My mother passed away a very slow (2 yrs of chemo and radiation) and painful death and she wasn't even 60. She never smoke, never drank socially, and lived life quite literally by the books.. doing everything right.

1. if you smoke you die slowly and painfully at a young age
2. If you don't smoke, you live happily everafter... you never die.. and if you do die you die a wonderful pleasant death being delicately cuddled by your caretaker with no pain quickly...

get real. grow up. Quit BSing yourselves. Wether you smoke or don't smoke makes very little difference in ones actual life. The only difference is control... you CHOOSE what will kill you as opposed to others who don't choose.

" Wether you smoke or don't smoke makes very little difference in ones actual life."

Perhaps you might have mentioned this to my Mother who was forced to have her tongue sewn to her mouth, for ten years after her second operation (until the day she died)?

After watching her try to feed herself for those ten years personally I wouldn't have been able to face her and tell her your wonderful comment. Maybe you meant someone else's life? I think your views are short-sighted.

Hope YOU don't wind up the same.

Would you seriously shoot someone over cigarettes? Do they make you feel that good?[/quote]

I'd be a lot more liable to shoot someone if I didn't have cigarettes, yes. They calm me down.[/quote]

I've said for years: "My smoking will probably shorten my life. My not smoking very well might shorten yours."

I don't judge smokers. It's a harder habit to kick than heroin, from what I've heard!

i like watching smokers.
they are amusing.

they seem to have some sort of intimate relationship with their cigarettes as they hold them in their hands ready to take a draw at the next opportunity as they so desire, even though they seem to be only subconsciously aware that they are holding them.

when i see people smoking while talking to each other, i note that they return their attention to their cigarettes at regularly timed intervals. whether it be to see if it needs to be ashed, or to see how much they have left to smoke, they none the less are distracted on a deep level by the state of their cigarettes.

some people choose to draw on their cigarettes while their friend is talking, and they breathe in deep and jump in with their conversation while blowing the smoke out at the time where they have an opportunity to talk. it seems that their friend never notices this activity as it is so automatic that it is ignored.

but i sometimes wonder if their cigarette was somehow doused or removed from their hand and their pack went missing, whether they would postpone their participation in the conversation until they had restored their access to cigarettes.

i have no opinion about smokers because the second hand smoke is no more toxic than the smoke of any other plant.
tobacco is not somehow a bastion of poisons in relation to other plants.

it is unhealthy to inhale copious amounts of smoke on a regular basis, but the mere scent of tobacco smoke does not worry me in the slightest.
