Do You smoke?

[takeshi10123]

I hate smoke

I used to hate going into pubs and you would stink of smoke and you would be gasping for air. No offence to smokers but im glad the ban was put in place

I am glad of the ban of smoking in pubs and other places

Enjoy your soda, red meat and whatever else you eat that'll contribute to your demise. Let the smokers be, we know its bad for us. No need to act all high and mighty.

Thanks, you've written what I wanted to write.

and RockmanForte, I don't have a reason to quit right now, ofcourse when I grow up I'll quit, because I don't want
to force my second hand smoke to my children and stuff. It's hard for me to exactly write down what I mean, but
I'm young and enjoying life, I don't have much responsibilities at the moment and I want to enjoy that feeling for
at least another 3 years.

Maybe all the banning will make people turn to snuff for their nicotine fix?

 

[jaxxster]

You guys all need to chill out and watch bill hicks.

What's with the ban threats? We are just arguing... not calling names or anything.

I really don't know why people are so down on smoking. People can do what they want to their own bodies. Smokers and non-smokers both know that smoking is bad for you. And if you're a random person on an internet forum, I don't really care what you do to your own body. I do, however, have several family members including my parents who smoke and who I harass incessantly because I don't want them to die any earlier than necessary.

And when was the last time that somebody *really* was forced to choke down some second hand smoke? It's been years since I've been in a situation where I couldn't make the choice to get away from somebody's smoking, and that was when I was a server in a restaurant.

I don't smoke.
I will never smoke.
Though, I want to get addicted, to show everyone how easy it would be to stop.
(I don't believe in addictiveness)


why not try crack, see what happens

but seriously, if people wanna smoke it's their right to put whatever they want in their bodies.
The public bans on smoking I think it's complete nonsense it should be upto the owner of a pub/bar or whatever to allow smoking or not.
If you don't like smoking in a certain place don't go there, you can't just tell people that they can't do something just because you don't like it.

yeah but people are blowing thier smoke everywhere and even little kids are getting the nasty stuff in thier lungs. I dont see why smoking was allowed in buildings before anyway.

If you don't like it take the kids to a place which is smoke free, you can't just walk into a pub and shout "hey everybody whose smoking stop it I don't wanna get sick because of your smoke". It's upto the parents to be responsable for their kids.

edit: personally I think the government shouldn't have the power to be able to ban smoking in pubs, I mean where does it end?
of course they'll never ban smoking completely as they get allot of money from taxing it.

people smoke. live with it you babies.

I think he was referring to the recent legislation in Britain which bans smoking in any public places.

As others have said, smokers are aware of the risks (British fag packets have huge frickin warnings on them for pete's sake) so at the end of the day it's a choice that they're free to make.

I dont really understand why people where allowed to smoke in public places. Theres loads of comments about go somewhere else yes you could do that however why should other people have to get smoke in thier lungs because people want to smoke. Its like everyones to suffer because someone wants to have a cigarette. Fair enough if you like some sort of a drug that doesn't harm the others around you but it has been proven 2nd hand smoke is very dangerous to people. this is a very edgy subject to talk about :'( i guess its just one of they things people disagree on all the time.

Non smokers are not better, they are just MORE HEALTHY.

yeah that's bullshit, you can be a non-smoker and just eat nothing but cake all day and never exercise, gross generalization

because we live in a free country & it's their right too. Who are we too tell other people what they can and can't do, it's just something that we have to tolerate.

If you don't like it take the kids to a place which is smoke free

Kids have the right to go where they want without having to breath in harmful chemicals. If your habit has negative effects on someone's health then you should have the decency to move on. If you don't like it, quit

that's a very naive look on the world.

 

[superrob]

Smoking is dirty.
I dont want to cut my life and my money on a so stupid thing.

 

[thegame07]

Well if i take a ghetto blaster and walk around blasting music out of it. If someone doesnt like it they can move to somewhere else so they dont hear my music

do you get my point

People shouldn't have to move because i want to blast my music down thier ear.

I'm really glad that in Australia it's becoming illegal to smoke in pubs/restaurants/vicinity of buildings.

I went out last week and spent only 15mins out the front of a pub where 3-4 people were smoking. I had to wash the jacket I was wearing because their stench was so soaked into it (that was after trying to just air it out for a few days).

It's really just a flithy habit and other people shouldn't have to put up with it. I'm sure if while I was having a beer a smoker wouldn't like me to be spitting it all over them as I drink.

ok but where does it end, If I didn't like the way someone looked could I tell them to get out of my sight?

 

[Hitto]

I smoke. Tobacco, and "not tobacco".

Legalize "it" and I'll quit tobacco in a heartbeat, though.

 

[thegame07]

Well thats just a diffrent story. Someone whos ugly isnt going to affect your health in any way if you look at them

Unless they have a really high case of fuglyness.
