Then said system would come with a warning label saying that it spontaneously explodes, and by purchasing said system the owner immediately relinquishes all responsibility for any damages done to them. And still my point is that someone was playing with the system and is explodes and kills them, it's not the company's, fault its theirs as they clearly played it enough to cause it to explode.Squid94 said:
You can argue that point all you want, the bottom line is that it's all about personal responsibility.
Again, it's not the company that determines the amount of sales, its the people who buy it. Cigarette companies would go out of business if people didn't buy their product.
You seem to have this image of cigarette company execs as people with devil horns, goatees, and glowing red eyes. It's a business, and businesses exist to make money and HARDLY anything else.
Do you think Bill Gates created Microsoft with the intention of giving people easy access to cheap computers in the hope of creating a more connected world? No. He made Microsoft to generate income. He could give a bigger shit that you spent your mother's insulin money to pay for a one year subscription to XBox Live, so long as he makes money out of it.
Drug lords don't sell their product with the intention of creating a world filled with crime, they sell it to make wads of money.
Or better yet, what about the U.S. government. They allow the sale of guns at Wal Mart at extremely low prices and allow bullets to be sold as well. They also allow pharmaceutical drugs with side effects which can range from dry mouth to death to be prescribed to absolutely anyone. They allow the sale of shit like that because they make billions (possibly trillions) of dollars in licensing and taxes. The government, contrary to popular belief, could give a bigger shit about you. Which means if they could get away with it they would pay someone two buck to beat you with a spoon until your head caved in. They allow the sale of shit like th
It is up there in the top five of the world's leading producers of revenue with oil, drugs, and weapons production.
That's up to them.

Damn you Pepsi, you delicious brew! I wish I could quit you!Amnestic said:Nope, never have. Too expensive an addiction for my tastes. I'll stick to my fizzy drink addiction thanks
Anyway, I don't want to smoke. Even if I wanted to, I'm allergic to smoke, so doing so would probably put me in the hospital/kill me.
Okay. Point taken. Ima break this down, as you did.
I know the Government would find it hard to care about me, and underage Average Joe. Your example of weapons trading isn't valid here in the UK, so I can't make any point about it. However, on the medicine note, people who prescribe it expect the users to treat it with responsibility, which I guess could also be applied to smoking, and indeed, anything like it, such as drinking.

Yeah, I guess there's plenty of people still willing to buy, and that's what upholds the business.Suiseiseki IRL said:
Every business exists solely for the cash, and they're going to pick a field they can do well in, so smoking is ideal for quite a few companies. I agree there.
Th- what?

It probably is, and that doesn't surprise me. The industry is huge, which is due to the massive number of people buying it.

SURGEON GENERALS WARNING:
Smoking May Cause Obnoxious Strangers To Share Obvious Health Risks As If It Were New Information.
I smoke from time to time, if you annoy me, you're lucky I don't spit tobacco juice on your shoe, cause I've done that before.

I refuse to smoke anything, but I don't go around spewing how others shouldn't. Unless its my house, then gtfo.
I smoke during parties with people who smoke with me. If people don't want to smoke, I refrain myself and just enjoy the drinks (Except if I'm DD).
I only smoke cigars. I smoke big ones for celebration with friends. Cigarettes taste like shit and they leave a really bad after taste.
Tried Pot a few times. I see no harm in doing it.
I hate people who screams "YOU'RE SMOKING, YOU'LL DIE". If I smoke gradually, yes, I can harm my own body and become addicted. If I smoke once in a month, I doubt I'll have huge problems down the road. It's just annoying when you're enjoying a good cigar and a healthnut comes around to annoy you. I also have a real hate for anti-smoking adds. If does shorten my life, so be it. I would rather die at 70-80 than in the 90s.
EDIT: No benefit from smoking eh? What about medicinal pot? (or was it Cannabis).

I smoke and I hate it. i have quit a few times for long periods, but it always something stressfull at work or watnot that make´s me start again.. I know i feel so good when I quit beucase I can jogg/run much faster and I am happier (after about 3 month wich I understand how it´s like too be a female under that special week mother earth blessed you whit). nicotine withdrawal seperates boy´s from men... and men from cigarettes I guess..
Not to be one of those so called prats, but i'm going to point out one smoke is enough to cause damage. No i can't quote because i forgot were i read/heard it but there you go.Random argument man said:
Just making you aware feel free to continue if you like.
I don't, but on occasion I'll take a drag off of my girlfriend's cig.
Also, where's the option for pipes? Now there's someone with class.

See this? That's something I like. Even if you're telling the facts, you're adding the magical part.
