I would smoke if I knew I was going to live to only be 30 or something. After a year or so of it, your lungs already start to obtain irreversible damage. One year of smoking will impair the rest of your life. All so you can have your 5 minute buzz, Glad I never got into it, each one made me feel like crap for the rest of the day.

It is disgusting and selfish to do in public.

If people sat at home and smoked, that would be fine since I would not have to put up with it.

Outside of Hospitals, Shopping Centres & Restaurants you will always find one person hacking and coughing as they fill their lungs with Benzene and Tar, Whilst sidestream smoke gets into the little kids lungs.

But omg civil liberties and i haz rights to poison others.

If I walked into a room and sprayed poisonous gases, I would be arrested and put in Jail but when a Smoker does it oh it is their choice.

OMG I have rights to drive car!
Who cares about the poisonious fumes that ruin children's lungs? Ive got to get somewhere!

Should we start arresting car drivers as well?

But I don't really mind people who smoke. All my friends at university smoke, and it doesn't bother me at all. In fact I normally go outside with them when they smoke just to chat.

Listening to people complain about their petty problems in life is hurting my mental health but there are no laws against that...

Well considering that there is quantifiable evidence that smoking is damaging to both the smoker and those around them, i'd say your "mental health" issue isn't really related.

A lot of life long heavy smokers, simply cannot afford healthcare for things like COPD and bronchitis, that is why I hate smokers. You want lung cancer, you can pay for that crap. Not the tax payers.

I think it's ridiculous that cigarettes aren't illegal, while other substances that are INCREDIBLY less harmful for you are illegal. The fact that we live in a society where it's LEGAL to manufacture a product that KILLS people and is one of hardest ADDICTIONS to quit is nothing short of lunacy. But hey, it makes corporations and the government lots of money, gotta love that capitalism!

Cigarettes should be illegal to manufacture, sell, and purchase IMHO. Tobacco, of course, should still be legal.

I agree dawg. Weed smells better, doesn't cause cancer, and makes life better. You ever played laser tag high?

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

This isn't about cars, this is about people smoking in public places.

And Drivers do get arrested when they cause harm to others whether it is intentional or not.

Smokers Harm other people.

Love your friends, Die laughing.

I smoke a cigarrette after work. It's relaxing.

Second hand smoking pisses me off as its worse as they breath the smoke without a filter. The yellow/orange thing on the end of a cigarette filters the smoke a little.

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

I'm fine with people smoking by themselves, but I really hate when they smoke in public or around children. It's kind of inconsiderate to make everyone around you smell that.

That is blatantly false, and no smoke is good for you. While I do enjoy a good sesh, I still feel it is bad for you if you smoke it. Going around and telling that crap to others is not helping also, only hurting. The reason why people don't get cancer from smoking pot is because they smoke significantly less of it than tobacco. Pot actually is very similar to tobacco in terms of hazardous materials. source

  • 12.03.2012 12:05 PM PDT

If you want to smoke, that's not my problem. As long as you do it outside, I don't care.

I don't care. I smoke occasionally. The only thing I hate is when idiots smoke around children, and when brainwashed 12 year olds, like The Flood, think that smoking is automatic death. Retards.

  • 12.03.2012 12:15 PM PDT

i enjoy the smell and the aesthetic appeal of it, and hope one day that the product is made less addictive through advances in chemistry.

I mean seriously, do it at home. There is way too much space and air and wind outside for you to be doing it there. Do it at home, in a small, confined area.

Who does it outside where there is plenty of air and space?

1) of course smoke is bad for you, however there are numerous ways to ingest cannabinoids without smoking it, or limiting the smoke to a negligible health hazard.

2) Cannabinoids have been found to have an effective use in cancer control, and it is proven that Cannabinoids are effective in coping with cancer symptoms/treatment

Tobacco in of itself is not nearly as harmful as cigarettes, however both tobacco and cigarettes kill hundreds of thousands across the globe a year. There has never been a medically recorded death attributed to marijuana/cannabinoids.
