You're aware that we're constantly breathing in nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, water vapor, and other trace gases along with oxygen, right

[QUOTE=Ccharlton;21695892]I love how they never say the benefits of smoking, it's social tool that is great on a night out, it wakes you up in the morning, relaxs you at work and for alot of people the smell of tobbaco is very relaxing.[/QUOTE]
Do you honestly believe that any of that outweighs the risk of cancer? There are plenty of other things out there that accomplish the same things you've mentioned while carrying none of the risks

What use do you have from the fresh air when you're smoking?

The fuck you do.
Who cares if some people smoke. It's their choice.
Don't be a prick cause some one is smoking near you. It's not against the law.
This thread only convinces me that a lot of the anti-smokers/drinkers are just media-brainwashed 12-year-olds. Jesus, as soon as you inhale it's not like somebody just planted a uranium bomb in your lung or something. Smoking relaxes people and relieves stress.
Smokers buy cigarettes because they are addicted.
People start smoking because of stress.
Stress is caused by today's modern world.
Today's modern world contains many issues.
One of these issues is the economy.
This is because there is not much money for most people.
People lose money because they buy cigarettes.
Now reread my post.
I think we should just ban all forms of cigarettes and smoke cheese cubes instead.
Not all cigarette contain all those chemicals.
Natural American Spirits are just straight up tobacco, and IMO they taste the best.
Im not saying they arnt bad for you, because they are, but they are not as bad for you as Marlboro Red's.
And as for the why do you smoke?
I dont smoke to look cool, its relaxing and feels good in my lungs.
I dont smoke a lot, maybe a cig a week or so.
(i smoke the light blue box)

But you can't smoke cheese cubes.

[QUOTE=Nevermind_;21676031]When I started reading your post I thought you had a legitimate argument until you brought up your family. Now I know why you argue with such fervor. You had family members injured by irresponsible smokers and now you blame everyone who smokes. Not everyone is an inconsiderate buffoon with no regard for people around them.
Also, who the hell accuses someone of eating paint chips? Grow up.
P.S. thanks for saying "As for your entire point" and only including a small portion of my entire point in the quote.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Mr 23;21676128]My Grandfather was around smokers his entire life. He was healthy and ran every day DESPITE THAT, he got hit by a car and died. My Father smoked for a good portion of his life, drank too, gave it up cold turkey in boot camp before going into Vietnam, currently he's lived through cancer and the chemo that came with it, recently had a stroke and is still kicking. I find it a joke that people blame smoking for deaths and health issues, smoking can result in that yes, but maybe the god damn human fucking being could do something about it rather than sit there and take it and blame other people.
[b]"People love to blame anyone but themselves"[/b][/QUOTE]
Actually, he smoked for quite a long time before that, it was ENTIRELY his fault, I'm not passing the blame to secondhand smoking. I should have clarified and separated those two arguments, I apologize. Also the paint chips thing was a bit juvenile, so let me edit that entire argument:
No.
It also makes a social occasion instantly [i]less[/i] enjoyable, it's fucking disgusting.
The thing with cigarettes is that it affects [u]everyone around the smoker[/u]. I don't care if someone does heroine, at least they're not breathing shit on me. I can't fucking stand it when people have no courtesy, and smoke in a public place(now banned in Michigan it's about GOD DAMNED TIME). I couldn't even enjoy a burger at a restaurant because my throat would star burning, my eyes would itch, and all-in-all: It smells fucking terrible.
Fuck you. Forgive me if I don't appreciate inhaling poisons.
Anyway; I heard someone today say some bullshit about it being their "right" to smoke in public. If it's their right to walk around and emit that shit, it's my right to unleash CS Gas wherever I want, as well.

Those 4000 deadly chemicals aren't actually added to it. You may get thousands of chemicals in your lungs if you pick grass from your garden, dry and smoke it.
For some reason people seem to think all chemicals are bad and that chemicals mean man made chemical compounds.
Spoiler: water is a chemical
But cigars are somewhat healthier, because you aren't supposed to breath it all in your lungs. Also some of the chemicals have broken up to gases and other stuff due to fermentation.
Pipes.

Badass though.
I could stand carrying around a pipe (if I smoked)

Such lies, studies have shown that cigar smoke is much more harmful than cigarette smoke. Even if you don't breathe it all, it's still worse.
With new technology, you can do BOTH. Ish.

Offtopic game: Pipes vs Cigar(ettes)
Have your ontopic opinion/rant, then post your pic of a baddass with a pipe/cigar(ette)
I tried smoking from a pipe once, it tastes like ass and you excpect to inhale like you do with a cigarette but you really don't. You puff it until you've filled your mouth with smoke and then you inhale it after exhaling through your nose.
