That's why.

watch this

Link to study on second hand smoke!

:laugh:

That is actually real funny.

Hmm..my grandmother was a HEAVY smoker (4 packs a day for 40 years) and drinker and lived to 103. My mom quit smoking at 35 and got cancer.

Don't even get me started on this stupid thread. This is an outright bashing of people in general. How bout if I start a thread bashing computer geeks? Or how bout I put up a thread bashing overweight people? Or how bout gay people? The list goes on.

I know you're sad about your relative dying, but are you really mad at smokers or just at the world for taking her away? Grow up and realize people die whether they smoke or not. It's a fact of life. People choose the things they do in life and whether you agree or disagree with them is your own personal opinion, but you need to keep those personal opinions to yourself.

This is what cracks me up. It isn't the nicotine in a cigarette that kills you, its the inhaling smoking and tar that kills you. So why not come up with a way to inhale/ingest nicotine that doesn't cause cancer? Not only are smokers stubborn, but they're lazy and lack ingenuity.

The sensation of inhaling smoke is part of the habit so you're only really satisfied by smoking a cigarette, even though there are other ways to intake the drug. Chewing tobacco is almost as harmful as smoking it by the way - gives you tongue cancer.

I think you should be allowed to kill youserlf any way youw ant too, as long as your cold dead body is not blocking my driveway.

like 200 years from now, as society gets wiser and flushes most smokers out, i think the advent of mass cigarrettes will be looked back upon as a man made plague.

btw, my grandma just died today, painfully from lung cancer received from smoking

sorry about your Grandma.

thanks for offering your opinion on smoking.

Yes, but again, not because of the nicotine.

Interesting point, and I'm with you 100%

I can't remember where I heard this, it may have been CNN or the Discover Channel, but it said that the first person to live to 1000 is already 55 right now.

Pretty damn crazy if you ask me.

naw... this is a focused bashing of people who smoke. its an ignorant thing to do. im not mad at smokers.. i think they are foolish and seeing its effects hit so close to home prompted me to stand up and call em all idiots. people can make their life choices.. there is no way to quantify that smoking isnt a "bad" life choice. bad choice = idiot.

Well, I can't argue with that. On a totally unrelated note, can I be sole beneficiary in your will?

Ever heard about to huge amount of people that are killed by that are killed buy drunk drivers? the millions of injuries?

No one has EVER proven 2nd hand smoke kills, but I agree it is something that should be avoided.

There's NO parallel between 1nd hand smoke and the heatlh issues associated with alcohol use/abuse.

i agree, people that abuse alcohol, carelessly get in cars and proceed to kill people are much more than idiots, they are passive killers.

Okay. I'll start a thread on the ill effects of computer gaming. How's that? The ill effects on your wrists, your social life, and other physical effects. The large amount of money spent on making your computer faster. Idiots? No, that's what they like to do.

Do you think that's a poor choice in life?

I do agree that smoking is a bad choice in life but I don't think it's right to call smokers idiots.

Well, you did, by calling a lot of people who read this board "idiots" and now implying that we have a prefound mental retardation and a mental age below three years. Your emotions are running high because of a terrible personal tragedy. Let things cool for a couple of weeks, then re-evaluate what you want to call people who smoke.

How can you bold one half on one sentence in an incredibly insulting defination... in a really inflammatory thread... and then say that you don't mean to offend anyone?

KarenMarie,

Whenever someone starts or ends what they say with "I don't mean to offend anybody," they're full of it.

Just my experience
