If yu don't smoke it's not much of a biggy to you, but to the people that do. It's like banning a computer from us guys cos' it ruins our eyes. WTF?
Just because some people are lucky and did not get those ill effects does not mean you won't getthose ill effects
I read that the carcinogens in tobacco smoke are water soluble. So theoretically, if you smoke tobacco through a hookah you should be okay. I could be wrong though.
I always thought smoking it through a shisha was even worse for you... I'm pretty sure it aint soluble in water, the water just cools it. *the smoke, that is.
Smoking is bad...m'kay? I think age restriction on cigarettes is a good idea, but i don't think it should be completly banned.But then again, i think pot should be legal too. For those people who say quitting is easy, consider this: My grandfather quit drinking, but he could not give up smoking. My father quit smoking, but he cannot quit drinking. I quit crack cocaine, a few years ago, but i cannot give up smoking cigarettes.I smoke pot on occasion, and drink socially. What i'm trying to say here is maybe quitting smoking was very easy for you, but you can't give up that morning coffee.Or that bottle of scotch. Everyone has , IMO, a certain thing that is harder to quit then other things. For me, it is cigarettes.I quit for a few months, and fall right back in. And believe me, crack cocaine was much worse then smoking.I would steal and cheat and lie.But i was able to stop. As for the banning thing, i think the war on drugs is stupid, we all know what happened when they tried to ban liquor, and a ban on cigarettes would just result in a similar outcome.
@fdgsa, I realise the smoke is not water soluble- but I believe the carcinogens contained in the smoke are. Nicotine and THC are not water soluble- They are soluble in fat though.
i dunno...honestly i can't say.....there would be a lot more money to spend on other things i guess???
For the government, its a bad thing when smoking is gone, because the death rate will decrease, hence, more paperwork for them. It's also a good thing, it will decrease the CO2 level. World's destruction will decrease by 0.05% Smoking should be only used by soldiers, etc... for battles.
99% of governments would be FAR more bothered about the loss of billions in taxes that the tobacco industry provides them with.
Now I hate smoking and al to do with it...but can anyone tell me if this sounds true.. "Smoking isn't bad for you, it doesn't cause lung cancer, but it does remove you immunity to natural stuff in the atmosphere that can cause it" It makes sence to me...but a smoker told me this
I know-it's just about the lung cancer that bugged me... It still surprises me how some people can live to 70+ as chain smokers. I'm aware it can affect your...artiries? (A non smoker/personal trainer type friend told me that...)
smoking does not automatically cause lung cancer, it just gives you a much higher risk of it. I'm not sure offhand if or how it affects arteries, but it reduces lung function and kills your taste buds.
So that's why after awhile they barly taste it... Still...my mates smoker cheery flavoured cigars...that ain't right.. I'd best continue with my anti smoking program for them... [me=hYpNoS]holds water gun[/me]
anti smoking campaigns are sometimes paid for by phillip morris owner of Marlboro cigarettes. do you just want them to stop telling people facts about smoking? (however i think the facts that they have are a little weird at times) IN FACT on their website http://www.philipmorrisusa.com they have advice described as a connection to quitting information. Post Merge: [time]1261504842[/time] they outlawed flavored cigarettes here to counter under-aged tobacco use because they figured that the flavored cigarettes would appeal to younger demographics
well thats just inconsiderate. when i smoke cigarettes i make sure i'm completely aware of my surroundings and have no problem sitting away from people. then again i'm more of a hookah smoker than a cigarette smoker but hookahs are kinda hard to take to work and set up without people looking at you weird.
I smoke at home on the balcony, coz of my kids and wife.... They dont like me to smoke... Which is a good thing. I quitted smoking before about 3 times on and off. Now I pick it up again. I have no idea why... Sometimes it just helps me think... especially when I'm in the toilet The best ideas were born from the toilet bowl. I guess that part is true... I just dont know if it was the smell of the smoke or the crap... rofl!
there's only 2 things I would like to say. first, joshaz i love your avatar, it's too good =) second, just like the multinational companies. cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health =P
either smoking is dangerous... its just how fast it will affect your health.. cigarette would affect faster... to the death... :
