What's the problem of smoking?

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

Oh I'm not trying to justify anything. Nor do I need to justify a goddamned thing to you.

Hardly. I enjoy it. That's all the justification I need.

Suggestion received, and disregarded.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] Yeah, I know, you're trying to justify it to yourself. But honestly, I suggest you quit your habit, if not for yourself for your loved ones. And don't seem like I'm just singling you out. We all have flaws, there are tons of things I could do to improve myself as well. kingkong0124

Ehh, doubtful that my parents will be around by then. My wife and I already have a plain to check out at a certain point anyway. My sister holds no water with me. My brother does not exist. And friends and co-workers have their own worries.

I don't smoke that often. I think i'm fine. And for the record, i don't find second hand smoke nearly as deadly as commercials would lead you to believe.

you are inhaleing rat poison tar fiber glass

it gives you lung cancer not only that you can give others lung cancer if they second hand smoke.

and cancer is one thing no one should die from ever

I promised myself that if when I start smoking, that I'd only do 1 or 2 cigarettes a day. I don't see the reason to smoke all the time. Also I wouldn't smoke in my own house. :)

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] You enjoy it because it suppresses your nicotine addiction. And because you disregarded my suggestion, have fun making all your loved ones sad as f**k after your short death. I'm sure your mom/dad/girlfriend/wife/brother/sister/friends/co-workers would love to see you get cancer and die early. chaoscougar1

Telling would spoil the surprise now wouldn't it?

Incredibly bad breath and yellow fingers.

Ever been through chemotherapy? Better to not smoke and have one less thing to worry about causing cancer and having to go through it.

You'll die if you smoke.

You'll die if you don't.

I don't see a problem, so why is there one?

T_P_O

people don't like smelling it.

also, some non-smokers like to act like they're better than you because they don't smoke. or they act like it's some achievement that they've never smoked a cigarette. it's one of the few situations where i've seen people brag about doing nothing.

I had a weird dream last night. I don't smoke at all.....but I really wanted some cuban cigars. No idea why :lol:

While smoking does look cool in its way.

You will smell bad, have yellow fingers, bad looking teeth, breathing problems and many more.

And second hand smoke is just as bad.:(

Honestly if you actually ask that question, that probably means you're not bright enough to figure it out on your own, and that probably means you're stubborn in those wrong views.

Is your tag supposed to say "you made bro?" or "you mad bro?'"

If you have to ask, there is no point in explaining because you wouldn't understand.AmazonTreeBoa

What's the problem of smoking?

I was a paramedic for 8 years....

When you are woken up at 2am because some idiot with COPD and on oxygen was soooooooooo hooked on cigs they lit up while on their O2 and it ignited.....you might understand.

You may also harm people by just being near them. Diseases and such.Kcinz

edit: don't get me wrong, your question was appropriate and valid

Two problems - if unregulated, it affects people who do not wish to partake in it, and secondly, it is a drain on human resources, because it usually kills or incapacitates people earlier with diseases which are extremely difficult to treat.

You will die earlier, develop COPD, most likely lung cancer, emphysema, among many other problems. You smell bad, you piss people off on the road when they breath in your 2nd hand smoke. You also spend thousands of dollars on cigarettes. You may not live long enough to see your grandchildren and if you do, your lungs may be too impaired to play with them. Of course everyone dies, but HOW you die, and the quality of your life DO matter.

Waste of money and cancer is painfull.

Because I have to smell you when you walk past.

An old guy was smoking on the bus yesterday; I nearly puked.

Well aren't you a delicate one.

Perhaps you should stay at home, instead of going out into the hazardous, hazardous streets.

If nothing of chance happens to you, you in all likelihood will die earlier.

[QUOTE="lancea34"]

You die earlier.

Kcinz

Yeah but it's all about probabilities. Smoking greatly increases the likelyhood of dying much earlier. Of course you can smoke and live to be 100 years old but more often than not you'll die earlier. The probably of dying in an accident is there and more or less the same to everyone, why increase it with smoking?

This may not mean much if you're 15 (and dumb as a brick) but later on in life it starts to matter.

Except loads of smokers are far from stupid. It's an addiction, a bad habit, just like any other. It doesn't define one's mental condition, or level of knowledge and intelligence.

Makes you look ugly and bad for your health.

It costs everyone money in taxes.

It is horrible for anyone who has to walk close to you.

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"] That's not what you asked. This is what you asked. "You'll die if you smoke. You'll die if you don't. I don't see a problem, so why is there one?" I don't care if other people smoke. I look at smokers as stupid people and I am ok with them smoking because it helps with natural selection and helps weed out the idiots over time. I do NOT however believe the government or employers should have to cover their health cost. If somebody is stupid enough to smoke, then they should ALWAYS have to provide their own medical coverage. Same goes for fat people that eat too much unhealthy foods.AmazonTreeBoa

Can't judge a person by one habit. You never know what they went through in life, nor why they started smoking, hence you can't judge them.

[QUOTE="Kcinz"][QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]If you have to ask, there is no point in explaining because you wouldn't understand.AmazonTreeBoa

Gee that's a bit extreme. Do you feel the same way about people who stay too much time under the sun, who drink too much, who work too much, who don't do exercise, and many other conditions that can lead to health issues?

I stick with my sense of common sense wisdom:

If it's bad for you, don't do it.

Granted, I can't say that I've been 100% with this model in the past but I do try to do this as much as I can.

Sorry I know my rant isn't what the topic at hand cares about but I thought it interesting enough to point out. At 9:00 a.m. this morning I pulled up to my local target where there was zero trash laying around (it looks nice and clean..except) that from were I parked about 30 feet from the door to the actual door I counted 26 cigarette butts...26 no lie, I swear on my life. Posting just because I wanted to add numbers to my rant about how inconsiderate smoking can make a person I guess. So yeah, it's not healthy and you're cancer will probably raise my premiums but I can't put a number to that, your being a douche and throwing your toxic trash on the ground like you own the place however I can quantify. Thanks and I'll stop posting now as I'm the only one who cares about this :)
