smoking should be illegal

I just saw this show and on it they said that if somebody smokes somewhere and then they leave, most of the harmful chemicals are still there and can still harm people who are there even days after. So if you go into a hotel room where somebody smoked, you breath in all of those chemicals and if your parents smoke, you breath them in all the time cause you can get the chemicals off their clothes, or if they smoke in the house, you basically breath them in all the time. These aren't joke chemicals either, they're the ones that really screw you up. Why are ciggarettes not illegal, yet others things that shouldn't be are?

In that case, free will should be abolished

walking your dog should be illegal. they crap everywhereweezyfb

So if you go into a hotel room where somebody smoked

Id be more concerned about smog and air pollution in general than I would be about smoke residue and such.

In that case, free will should be abolishedsuper_mario_128

It's probably a really tiny risk. If you want to complain about damaging people's lives, turn off your computer - you're probably doing much more harm through the pollutants released in powering your PC, TV, console etc. than a smoker is doing an hour after leaving a hotel room.jimmyjammer69

I say if one is illegal, make them all illegal, so yeah, even though you were being sarcastic, I would say make alcohol illegal.AngelsFan32

the amount of money we'd waste on enforcing a ban on cigs and alcohol is more than reason enough to not have them be illegal...you think the war on drugs is expensive, it would increase 10 fold if we made cigs and alcohol illegal...not to mention all over crowding in prisons already...such a dumb idea...fat_rob

do you really see the majority of people finding themselves a dealer so they can smoke tobacco? I don't.jimmyjammer69

If people want to die at the age of 60 instead of 70 let them. If they want to go around everywhere panting because they cannot get a proper breath, they gain weight and have to be addicted to this little cigarette which they now have to base their entire day around let them. I think you could consider this a type of population control. ferrari2001

Furthermore, lots of people have some crutch or another....if its not smoking its something else.quadraleap

There are not many things that are worse for you than regularly smoking cigs. ferrari2001

[QUOTE="fat_rob"][QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"] I don't think a cigarette ban would be difficult to enforce at all. Alcohol, however, would be really tough. We'd probably save a lot in health care expenses too in countries with nationalised health care.jimmyjammer69

This discussion is pointless. Cigarettes will never become illegal in our lifetime. And I'm a happy guy 'cause I smoke like a chimney. Hey, move to the UK, smoking's illegal inside any building.

No I work in a gas station and sell cigs. A large percentage of my buyers are overweight could be coincidence I guess, they gasp for air, they have terrible overall health. There are not many things that are worse for you than regularly smoking cigs. ferrari2001

The weight of your customers could depend on allot of variables, (clientele, demographics, location, etc) but being a long term smoker, etc I have not noticed a trend in weight and smoking in my environments. I myself am not overweight, but I do expect that when I make efforts to quit, that if I do not have a plan in place smoking will be replaced with something potentially unhealthy.No arguments from me that smoking is horrible on a persons health and just as hard to quit as crack, so Ive heard.

You'll have to pry my smokes from my yellow, dead hands.

just as hard to quit as crack, so Ive heard.
