What are your views on smoking?

I don't like it, but the people who smoke have the right to do what they want to.

I only smoke when I'm on fire, because I have some kind of allergy to cigarette smoke

As a non-smoker, I can't personally see the point of them. It's a drain on your wallet, your health, and the health of those around you. If you do smoke, then you should really do your best to keep your habit to yourself, and not expose others to it with things like second hand smoke.

But seriously It just wastes your money and kills you and everyone else, which is extremely unfair on non-smokers.
I find it extremely stupid.
Plus i'm sort of allergic

Hit the nail on the head, there. I can't see the appeal in it at all, myself.

Oh good, I can rant at him. =]

Seriously, though, smoking has no discernable good points, and it's a waste of health and money. Same as alcohol, in my view.

I agree, too. Although I do understand it is addictive, why are they so appealing?

No idea, but I do know that the Tobacco industries spend millions every year making them look cool.

I think it's seen as either "cool", largely by idiot youths, or an "easy" way of stress relief by the more mature person. And then your lungs dissolve. The addictive part is the nicotine, the rest of it is a mixture of vile filler chemicals. I'm pretty sure there's a small amount of road tar in there as well.

So you're calling my dad gay, even though he nearly knocked me out when I came out the closet?

Geez, if you're gonna be against cigs, at least be educated about the matter.

There's approximtely 4000 different chemicals in tobacco, including toilet cleaner and household bleach.

NASTY stuff x_x

FOTEPX has, maybe accidentally, hit upon quite a good point. Young people are not nearly educated about cigarettes enough to know how badly they destroy your internal organs. And the companies are no better, because they print out "Cigarettes can kill" on the front. Which is not only vague, but also wrong. Cigarettes DO kill.

Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.

I can care less if people want to waste money to kill themselves. But if people have the right to blow smokes in my face, I should have the right to spit in their.

Little lost bot · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2011, 03:57:34 PM »

I don't like smokers. Especially the ones who think they can do here habit anywhere anytime. I'm a bit allergic to the second hand smoke. Also its stupidity. It only eats up money and kills you. Nothing more nothing less. "But its cool" I don't give a dam if it is.

I'll stop now. (cause I would start to go on and on if I continue.)

Kids smoke cause other kids smoke. Simple as that. Adults smoke cause they smoked as kids because other kids smoked because their parents smoked...

Does smoking pot count? :P

Pot's not bad in itself, but

1) costs money
2) distracts from real life; school, work, etc
3) gateway drug to stuff that does harm you
