No, it shouldn't matter what an adult wants to put into their own body.

By this logic, should marijuana, cocaine and all the bunch be legal?
they mess you up.

So does cigarettes.
it really depends.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

I voted yes but changed my thought to no. Just think of how many people die because of it and then create more space for others to fill. Overpopulation would be rising quicker if cigarettes were banned.

> Comparing cigarettes and marijuana to cocaine.

No, they shouldn't be banned. All that would leave is very ticked off people and would probably just end up being like the Prohibition Era. Besides, the Government would never get rid of something that makes such a high income.

Second hand smoke.

And yes, cigarettes should be banned. California is pushing to be the first state to ban cigarettes.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Nope. I don't like it or condone it, but it's a personal choice that doesn't affect me. I only request that there be more designated smoking areas so that those of us who don't smoke don't have to deal with the smell, and possible health hazards.

They've been around for too long. It would be next to impossible to get rid of them.

Second hand smoke.

The only people I feel are worse than smokers are people who think that inhaling any amount of smoke will give you cancer.

No, you will not get cancer from one cigarette. You will not get cancer from an entire pack of cigarettes. You will get cancer from smoking a pack a day for years on end.

That being said, I'm all for any substance being legal. As long as you're not harming anyone else, you can put whatever you want into your body.

Who voted yes? A bunch of freedom hating goons. People who think banning anything that is a drug are very stupid in my opinion. It just ends up on the black market and less safe

Did I say that simply smelling second hand smoke is going to give you cancer?

No.

But when I was taking GenEd classes at the local community college the entire quad was ring with smokers because they couldn't smoke in the quad. You had to walk through the smoke twice to get to class or take the long way around.

Then there was one of my first retail jobs and the people on break would smoke outside the store, the required distance away, but you still had to walk through that smoke every day to work.

And let's think economically: How much money is spent on smoking relation medical conditions?

And sit on this for a bit: The -blam!-s were against smoking. The goddam -blam!-s.

Are you also in favor of banning people taking dumps because you can't stand the smell of other people's -blam!-s?

Also what's your point about (presumably) Not-cs? Are you saying that we should ban cigarettes because WWII Germany was even opposed to them? That's by far some of the worst logic I've ever heard.

Smelling poo for prolonged periods of time never gave you heart disease.

I'm sorry, was your point that second hand smoke gives you disease or doesn't give you disease?

Make up your mind.

You sir don't understand the principals of freedom and have Fascist like qualities to your argument. "I just dont like it" good for you get over it man. Lets just add one more thing organized crime can make money off of. Your perception of the world must be suburb cozy

On one side I think everyone has the freedom to -blam!- up their bodies.

On the other hand, second and third hand smoke are issues also.

I say keep it. Not enough reason to ban it. Besides, banning anything is a bad idea.

These things all impair your ability to function as a human being, and being high might cause damage to yourself or others. Remember that story about a man cutting his face off while high on meth? Smoking doesn't cause that. Drugs that affect the mind are completely different.

See you on the bounce, trooper.

When I was in college my friend who smoked told me "Man, if I could do one thing for the world, I wouldn't cure cancer or end hunger. I'd make cigarettes good for you. Like vitamins."

Yeah, they're awesome. Jus sayin'.
