a world with no smoking

[Hikikomori Ookami]

Smoking in and of itself isn't necessarily the unhealthy part. It's the chemicals and preservatives that are added to the cigarettes. As a smoker I wouldn't mind more legal herbal alternatives. It's been a fairly significant part of human culture in one form or another since the early years but more recently becoming more troublesome, or at least more noticeable.

If you take smokes away from retarded children they'll just be huffing chemicals out of plastic bags instead.

Or maybe playing "the choking game."

imagine if there was a world where there was no such thing as smoking. I personally think that it would be a great place where less people would die of all of those hideos diseases that smoking can offer.

I totally agree with you mate.

 

[drunkenhero32]

Yeah but then you would have less diease and more fucking edgy smokers

 

[skintrade]

hey... don't take away the only vice I have left...

in all seriousness, I barely drink, I don't do drugs other than caffeine, sugar, nicotine and adrenaline, and I only smoke indoors in my own home. My lungs, my choice.

In the UK they know they can't ban smoking due to the amopunt the govt makes in taxes... no cigs, no taxes, major financial shortfall.

Jesus let me smoke. Actually. Let me smoke. Go away, and let me smoke in peace. Really.

I'm imagining it. And everything is the same, accept taxes in England are higher.

I wouldn't mind if there was no longer such a thing as smoking, wouldn't mind at all. It really doesn't bother me much as it is. Also, anyone who smokes enough to become addicted on their own free will deserves the consequences. Okay, that may be a little harsh, but what other detrimental is there? Oh wait, plenty. Anyway, back to the issue here, I would prefer if no one smoked, but who am I to tell them they can't?

They do that already.

If smoking was made illegal, addicts would start smoking whatever they could get their hands on, or buy cigs off the black market. Instead of drug dealers, there would be cigarette dealers.

My grandmother would never have died, and my grandfather would never have remarried to wizened old racist who thinks she's the greatest thing since God and whom the entire rest of the family secretly wishes would die in her sleep or get murdered with an axe. So yeah, if smoking had never existed, it would be a wonderful thing.

 

[lacktheknack]

... would be a world where I wouldn't have to replace my inhaler as often.

OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM!

Get your facts straight.

You do realize that the so called "research" on smoking and it being the cause of lethal diseases (meaning cancer) is more political than scientific in nature, right?

I don't want a world without smoking. If people want to smoke, then it's their choice and they should be able to do so without being persecuted by politically correct zealots...

 

[Casual Shinji]

Fast food and Alcohol as way worse effects as well.

Your words fall upon deaf ears, my friend, deaf ears. Only smoking is EVIL on the Escapist.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

There would be less assfucks trying to shove their lifestyle down other people's throats. That would be a world worth living in.

Really?

I must have been misinformed then when people say this was the last intelligent forum on the internet.

For chrissake people, you say you're scared of second hand smoke? Do you wear gasmasks when you walk about on the streets as well? Your body has a fantastic mechanism you know, it's called an IMMUNE SYSTEM! Your body is pretty much DESIGNED to be able to take care of toxic substances to a certain degree. If you don't smoke regularly yourselves you needn't feel worried about your health just because some person standing next to you is smoking once.

Is this another one of those messageboards where people just swallow every politically correct propaganda statement like they were hookers giving blowjobs? (I hope not)

 

[Pimppeter2]

Can I still smoke weed?

 

[Cryo84R]

Why all the smoking hate?
If you don't like it, don't do it. Leave me the hell alone!

Since when has a smoker done this? Last time I checked most of them want to quit or discourage it. Unless you mean Smoking Ads by companies. But what do you expect? A company not advertising its products.
