Not a bad idea. Seriously. And to discourage women from smoking, perhaps cigarettes could be made to cause bad breath, stain teeth, increase the chance of tooth decay, cause wrinkles and maybe even make them sound like old men with their smoker's hacking cough. Oh, wait. Cigarettes already do that.
I don't understand the comparison of smoking to junk food and if we ban one then why not ban the other... Who cares how bad burgers and fries are thats not what we're talking about. Bottom line, like it or not.... Smoking kills, its probably worse for your body than crack is. It should NOT be legal to produce and sell ciggs. BTW, I smoked for years and quit about 6 months ago. Best thing I ever did.
I don't understand the comparison of smoking to junk food and if we ban one then why not ban the other... ---------------------- You're right. There isn't any comparison. The only valid comparison is that, it is a legal product. It is fashionable and without political consequences, to ban things, for the childrens sake, do it for mom, apple pie, because it's the American thing to do. All of us are now conditioned and ready to surrender... I have been banished to the outdoor smoking shed, you are not far behind. Sneaking snacks in plain brown wrappers in the restroom... The envelope please... The nominees for todays ban are trans fat, junk food, etc
God forbid anyone should ban trans fat. Trans fats are the cornerstone of American society. Quick, someone get a flag!
pretty ironic, many of the land of the free's founding fathers were distiller's and tobacco farmers. spinning in their graves to say the least... IF PEOPLE WANT TO SMOKE WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU TO SAY THEY CAN'T.... f*cking leftists ... The only justification comes when we are all financial burdons to the government. actually, it may not be ironic at all... only time will tell.
why Would you detest smokers? are you failing to realize that soime of your habits are equally "detestable" to someone else?
I gotta tell you ... every one of your posts sends shivers down my spine .... Thank you for that ..... You've put me back in Russia during Stalin's time, I now understand it better. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the majority fully understands you and YOUR MOVEMENT .... Here's your movement: Phase One: KILL ALL GODS.... Phase Two: REPLACE THOSE GODS WITH YOURSELVES you see, you're doomed to failed... because ultimately you inspire NO ONE ..
I've just ran across this thread. What a coincidence. When I was younger and full of piss and vinegar, the world was mine to enjoy. I smoked and drank. When I turned 35, I realised I needed to make some lifestyle changes, so I quit smoking and this in turn lessened the alcohol consumption. This is before it was even fashionable to quit. I have quit for 18 years. Was under the impression after 10 yrs your lungs would clear and it would be almost as if you never smoked. Wrong. I have been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and have been told I have a 15% chance of surviving 5yrs. Plain and simple. Cause , smoking. We have recently had a few young people take their own life, what a waste, and I want so badly to live. Those that don't take these things seriously. Get a life....... erie
