Explain the psychology of the vermin that smoke

  1. Nicotin is one of the most addictive substances to mankind.
     
  2. Tens of millions of kids grew up around smoking parents with no ill effects. Back in the day it was not uncommon for pregnant women to smoke (and drink). Not ideal but generally no harm done.

    I smoke the occasional cigar on my back porch, but otherwise don't smoke. So I'm not an addictd smoker trying to justify my habit. It's just that we are seeing that all this hysteria about "second hand " smoke or third hand smoke , etc is more liberal nonsense designed to scare us by dubious science. Kind of like the mania for organic, ie grown in poop, food. No scientific proof that it is better for you, but lots of money to be made peddling it.

    Smoking aroudn others is annoying and rude, but it's not likely to affect their health.
     
  3. Why would you want to exhibit such profound ignorance in public?

    Tell me you're being sarcastic. Please, else I have to think that maybe trading daily has affected your mind .

    While you're thinking about it, have a snack on me.

  4. ps, didnt i put this in the psychology thread where it belonged, not this catch all for bullshit chit chat?

    ops exhibiting bitcon interruptus?
     
  5. I think it's the same psyche that leads to gmo salmon (extermination of all natural salmon) or fracking (toxifing the water supply). The only differences is that the "Vermins" you describes kill themselves... not a whole community...
     
  6. Look, smoking is like a little pill that calms your nerves, some people get stressed while others give stress. America went to hell after they took smoking areas out of high schools. It's quite odd that even the sight of smoking sends non smokers into religious like hysteria, so ecigs need to be outlawed but marijuana needs to be legalized:confused:, the only party odder than democrats is republicans- smoke em if ya got em :p
     
  7. the herd my friend... who is their Shepard? One sure thing, he/she isn't found on tolerance...
     
  8. ===================

    Mr MS;
    Marlboro[cigs] had a nice, slick, thoughtful , long lasting ad campaign;
    cowboy on range smoking Marlboros[Not an ad, an illustartion:D]

    Ex smoker, but I still enjoy sniffing bar-B-Q/hickory smoke;
    murray T T

    PS;; US A was partially founded or more accurately financed by Tobacco merchants.Read ''Tobacco in the American Colonys''+ other sources better than, but including Wikipedia.
     
  9. I have nothing against smoking or smokers IF

    1) they pay for their own lung cancer treatments

    2) they keep their smoke totally away from ANY bystander. At all times.

    99.99999999 of smokers fail on both of the above
