[QUOTE=Pepin;31786225]Despite their being no scientific evidence of second hand smoking being dangerous in open areas, I'm still going to describe it as a poison.[/QUOTE] [url]http://news.stanford.edu/news/2007/may9/smoking-050907.html[/url]
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786384]Wait are you serious?[/QUOTE] Am I serious that smoking is an action performed by uneducated or unintelligent people? Yes. Likewise I am also serious that people who do cocaine are likely uneducated or unintelligent. As are people who do meth. EDIT: WAIT FUCK, SHOULD HAVE SAID "As that heart attack you are going to have in two decades" DAMMIT.
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31786411] Probably.[/QUOTE] Well, you learn something new everyday, GunFox is practically a Nazi when it comes to smokers.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31786015]When did I say that?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=carcarcargo;31785037]People don't seem to understand that this isn't supposed to put smokers off smoking, it's to put those who are ignorant of the effects of smoking, off smoking.[/QUOTE] To be ignorant you must be informed, and to make sure you acknowledged this. [quote=Pepin]Remember, ignorance means they are informed about the dangers and just ignoring them.[/quote] You're clearly not making any claim that people should be informed, read the below. [QUOTE=carcarcargo;31785403]Coffee and alcohol both have benefits in one way or another and guns can be used to protect yourself, tobacco offers no such benefit and [B]is addictive enough to take away a persons ability to choose[/B].[/QUOTE] In response to creating incentive to make people choose healthier food. [QUOTE=carcarcargo;31785631]Over eating with any food can cause you to become over weight and I feel that food regulation, especially in regards to fast food, needs to be seriously increased.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31786411]Except that it's not really addictive and keeping it illegal causes a lot of people to be arrested for crimes that don't hurt anyone?[/QUOTE] dude you just ignored two straight facts. You can get addicted to it and it does do harm.
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786478]Well, you learn something new everyday, GunFox is practically a Nazi when it comes to smokers.[/QUOTE] he also believes that suits and ties are evil
if obama is a trashy low-class president, does that make fidel castro the leader of the poorest underclass? (oh wait)
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786478]Well, you learn something new everyday, GunFox is practically a Nazi when it comes to smokers.[/QUOTE] Disliking people who take part in a voluntary habit that has the potential to harm others does not make one a nazi.
The ones here in Brazil are extremely funny or disgusting
[QUOTE=Angry Pineapple;31783024]It's good they're bothering them, means the pictures and doing their jobs. If they bother the company, they probably bother at least [i]some[/i] of the users too...[/QUOTE] well imagine if you had a multi-billion dollar industry and the government forced you to devote most of your advertisement space to make people not want your product. Also, the government doesn't expect smoking to decline significantly, or in other words, be effective, so in the end it's pointless. Smoking is unhealthy, but in the most obese country in the world that doesn't mean a lot
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31786526]Disliking people who take part in a voluntary habit that has the potential to harm others does not make one a nazi.[/QUOTE] Its incredibly prejudice and ignorant, seriously, you people make me fucking sick.
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786478]Well, you learn something new everyday, GunFox is practically a Nazi when it comes to smokers.[/QUOTE] He's quite right though. You're willingly choosing to partake in something that, if you keep doing it indefinitely will eventually kill you (should something else not manage to do so before that point). That's a guarantee. Mathematically the odds of you NOT getting cancer if you inhale carcinogens indefinitely converge on 0%. You're slowly poisoning yourself and getting nothing positive out of it. It's not an intelligent decision to make.
[QUOTE=Contag;31786522]if obama is a trashy low-class president[/QUOTE] well smoking does harm you and why would you want to cause harm to yourself
[QUOTE=GunFox;31786474] Likewise I am also serious that people who do cocaine are likely uneducated or unintelligent. As are people who do meth.[/QUOTE] A not insignificant proportion of cocaine users are likely upper-class, college educated professionals.
Drugz r bad.
[QUOTE=sltungle;31786599]He's quite right though.

That's a guarantee. Mathematically the odds of you NOT getting cancer if you inhale carcinogens indefinitely converge on 0%. You're slowly poisoning yourself and getting nothing positive out of it. It's not an intelligent decision to make.[/QUOTE] Everybody dies you moron. Smokers just won't survive for as long, oh well, have fun living to 90, I'll just enjoy my life instead.
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786478]Well, you learn something new everyday, GunFox is practically a Nazi when it comes to smokers.[/QUOTE] Watch it kill your grandfather over the course of several years as a child. A guy who started before anyone knew it was bad and built the home he lived in brick by brick by himself. A with more willpower than you will ever see in another human being. Watch your mother and her four sisters suffer from asthma simply because they grew up around smoking. Then come call me a nazi and claim that smoking doesn't hurt anyone.
[QUOTE=Contag;31786631]A not insignificant proportion of cocaine users are likely upper-class, college educated professionals.[/QUOTE] well they're still doing cocain which is fucking stupid in itself.
[QUOTE=bodenlan2;31786607]well smoking does harm you and why would you want to cause harm to yourself[/QUOTE] For the same reason people eat terribly unhealthy food. It feels good.
[QUOTE=Contag;31786631]A not insignificant proportion of cocaine users are likely upper-class, college educated professionals.[/QUOTE] Only because it costs an absolute fortune to upkeep a cocaine addiction.
[QUOTE=GunFox;31786642]Watch it kill your grandfather over the course of several years as a child. A guy who started before anyone knew it was bad and built the home he lived in brick by brick by himself. A with more willpower than you will ever see in another human being. Watch your mother and her four sisters suffer from asthma simply because they grew up around smoking. Then come call me a nazi and claim that smoking doesn't hurt anyone.[/QUOTE] That was his fault, not smokers as a whole, oh well, I've lost a lot of respect for you GunFox, not that you would of wanted any from a dirty uneducated smoker such as myself anyways. I'm going.
[QUOTE=Contag;31786631]A not insignificant proportion of cocaine users are likely upper-class, college educated professionals.[/QUOTE] So? They can only remain that way until someone figures out their habit or they die. Either way they are still idiots.
[QUOTE=Contag;31786657]For the same reason people eat terribly unhealthy food. It feels good.[/QUOTE] Which is a pretty dumb reason to do it to be honest.
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786641]Everybody dies you moron. Smokers just won't survive for as long, oh well, have fun living to 90, I'll just enjoy my life instead.[/QUOTE] that's a pretty damn ignorant thing to say. some old people say that they have had their best time when they're older than 60, having grandchildren and not having to work. You should speak with your grandparents or even parents about it sometime.
[QUOTE=bodenlan2;31786489]dude you just ignored two straight facts. You can get addicted to it and it does do harm.[/QUOTE] Oh really, can I get a source on that?
[QUOTE=lukepker;31786641]Everybody dies you moron. Smokers just won't survive for as long, oh well, have fun living to 90, I'll just enjoy my life instead.[/QUOTE] And usually smoking just speeds up that process, idiot. That's the beauty of hindsight, however. 20 years down the line when you're dying from lung cancer you'll be able to look back on your life and be like, "oh, so that's what everyone was on about when they said smoking was a bad idea! Duh! It's so obvious now!"

Watch your mother and her four sisters suffer from asthma simply because they grew up around smoking. Then come call me a nazi and claim that smoking doesn't hurt anyone.[/QUOTE] If he had more willpower than anyone will ever see in another human being, why didn't he quit, considering that it was known to be dangerous in the 50s (in American society)? Unless you're in your 40s, that is.
[QUOTE=sltungle;31786718]And usually smoking just speeds up that process, idiot.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31786717]Oh really, can I get a source on that?[/QUOTE] yea sure, my mom never smoked cigarrettes and she smoked alot of weed in her hippie days and I'll tell you that lung cancer she got was not pretty. don't you realize that it's the smoke that does the damage not the tobacco or the weed itself. Plus I have friends that are addicted to smoking weed and cant stop. And you may believe it or not but you have my word that's real life experience.
[QUOTE=GunFox;31786696]So? They can only remain that way until someone figures out their habit or they die. Either way they are still idiots.[/QUOTE] Actually, they don't tend to be detected or die, precisely because they are not idiots. Engaging in an activity that causes harm to yourself doesn't necessarily make you an idiot.
