So, I was thinking. I have never smoked, and I really dislike people who smoke around me. But before you smokers start bashing me, Ponder over something for a minute. You smoke because its a fad, and you wanted to smoke to try to look "cool". Now think about our generation 1 thousand years down the road.. Smoking is history, and people have only seen Cigarettes' on a film or picture. Now if you were reborn 1,000 years from now, and you looked back at the 20 / 21st century, And smoking is gone "most likely" All of those people are going to be laughing and AMAZED at how stupid people are, thinking about a whole world of people puffing and puffing filling their bodies with toxins, and think wow.. what neanderthals!! If you think about it, it's true.. smoking only seems natural because so many people do it, but after it dies out people are going to be like WHAT THE FU** WAS GOING ON?? damn.. marketing geniuses...

I really don't think so... If you never knew what a cigarette was, and you looked in a history book and it talked about thousands of years ago when humans put these little sticks in their mouths and sucked on them, knowing they cause all types of cancers. You would say to yourself, wow.. retards.. ?

why would we forget what cigarettes are in the first place? in 1000 years people will still smoke. You may not think so but I do. If people are still smoking at that time then your logic has failed;)

yeah people will still smoke, whether it's due to a fad, addiction, or simply an oral fixation.

How the hell do you know how or why I started to smoke? You think that everyone who smokes does it simply to look cool? Think again.

Smoking is a complete waste of time, money, and the lifespan of the smoker and those around them.

I started smoking because I wanted to, none of my friends did and I wanted to try it, so I did. I haven't met many people that started because they thought it was cool.

Oh, so if somethings unhealthy then the only reason people could possibly do it is because its cool? I guess you assume than that people eat McDonalds only because its cool?

Why did you want to? You wanted to spend hundreds of thosands of dollars on a disgusting habit that will kill you painfully and slowly?

Bashing trends isn't going to get you anywhere, 1000 years from now we'll probably look back at our own latent barbarism that we have mistaken for the norm. Where half a continent is starving and the rest of the world tends to their own comforts. Where we stuff ourselves with provenly harmful foods and take insane risks just so you can see how it feels like.

Look, if you are a smoker, don't get so defensive. I am simply asking you guys to use your brain. IF smoking did not exist and never did, and tomorrow someone invented a "cigarette" It would not make it, why? because the technology of today. 100 years ago not as many knew all the health risks.. How could someone convince you to spend your hard earned money on something that slowly kills you, they couldn't. Which is why my statement "marketing geniuses" tells all..

I agree that it's nothing more than a fad. It's expensive and damages your health. There is no real point to smoking anything.

Anyone silly enough to get addicted to it probably deserve the harmful effects that smoking causes.

Also if anyone feels that they started smoking for reasons other than it being a fad like peer pressure... it still really isn't a valid excuse.
