I didn't even start smoking until about 6 months ago. I enjoy it a lot actually. sit outside with my coffee and my cig at 6am when I have to get up and watch the sun. Its calming actually. (I smoke like 5 cigs a day if even that)
Yeah i like to live a long time in life so i decided it's not really for me. I do enjoy it though, so i will have a cig every 6-12 months.
I did mention the right to grow your own, I didn't mean to give the impression that it really needed to be banned. Also I agree alcohol is just as bad, but it is again something you can make for your self, basically my point is why get taxed for something you can do your self.
Pfft alchohol is not nearly as bad. People just misuse it by drinking too much. I on the other hand have only 1-2 beers a day. If i had 1-2 cigs a day, i would live twice as short. Cigs have rat poison and tons of crap look at this http://www.dctff.info/secondhand-smoke/whats-in-cigarette-smoke/
I would say i don't care and people should do what they want, but really, cig smokers are ruining our planet even more by making the air we breath more toxic, and not properly disposing the butts gets our water supply and ocean to be even more toxic. Our world is fucked anyways from all the toxic factories and stuff but yeah people obviously have no respect for earth.
question: why do they put all that stuff in the cigarettes? i don't know how correct the information is about all the harmful chemicals in (?) them --(or maybe those chemicals are just used in the synthesis if there is anything in a cigarette that's synthesized??). i don't know anything about smoking so I don't really get why the need to put those chemicals in there in the first place, if this info is correct. ...
that doesn't sound believable. in trace amounts you're never gonna feel any effect. and there's no need to put that many chemicals in there just for a questionable extra kick.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/393075.stm I just found that in 10 seconds from google, the worlds best search engine.
no, i get those. i get the menthol, sweeteners, nicotine, etc. i don't get that other stuff that is said to be in there (acetone, hydrazine, methanol, etc). it just sounds like a bluff gone too far. those might be the chemicals involved in the synthesis of something in the cigarettes but that wouldn't make them ingredients. what would be the point to stuff cigarettes with methanol and hydrazine, etc?
I started smoking because I felt like it. I never saw it as that big a deal. Everyone in my family smoked cigarettes. I grew up around it. I love smoking. Anything. Weed, cigs.. I just love a good smoke. And the tobacco hit.. oohh.. so smooth. I don't understand why people who smoke weed say smoking is gross blah blah blah. Sure, it's unhealthy. But smoking anything is unhealthy. Tobacco is a plant just like weed is a plant. Saying that smoking one plant is gross and smoking a different plant isn't is dumb. In short, fuck off and let us smokers smoke.
Like i said before, cigarettes cause pollution. Weed does not. So why don't you fuck off and admit you have a problem.
