http://www.teachervision.com/lesson-plans/lesson-3581.html Know that smoking is bad and that is just a drug to keep the corporation extremely wealthy at the cost of your health. Once you are addicted, it is next to impossible to quit, unless you could live with symptoms like depression and nervousness. I don't think anyone can, heh. Its easier to keep smoking then quit. Oh well, maybe some just aren't educated well enough. maybe they don't care. I just hope that more are aware today, so less are smoking cause I am getting sick of smelling their cigarette fumes when they are around me. I never was addicted for 1: I will not start even if someone points a gun at me 2: my body does not lilke it.

yeah smoking sucks...been there done that. But if someone wants to do it, sucks to big his lungs..

I'm not going to ram my knowledge of lung cancer or various ailments down their throat. If they want to kill themselves fine, let them. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Continue to do crap like New York and you will suffer the consequences.

Take your tree-huggin', sandal-wearin' hippie opinions somewhere else please. If you don't smoke, don't even think about preaching to those who do. Those who have quit are the only people who have a right to say anything, because they have been through the trials of quitting.:|

Yup, quitting is an absolute nightmare...as I said before...to each his own.

I like how social entities such as "American Cancer Society" and "American Lung Association" can just say what's factual and what's not.

In some way and in some fashion, every one is making installment payments on their suicide plan. Death is the only real certainty in life, and regardless of how you live your life, it WILL happen. Just breathing is bad for you. Scapegoating something like cigarettes is all well and good for the emotionally young and naive, but sooner or later you'll learn that everything is bad for you, and that everything you buy is just some form of drug that keeps some mega-corp wealthy. Of course, by that time, you yourself will be working for or in behalf of some mega-corp, and you'll realize that keeping some mega-corp wealthy means that it will have enough money to pay its thousands and thousands of employees, keeping them fed and off the streets.
