Well um... it really is.

I don't get why they just let people buy what they want.
Yeah smoking should be restricted to open-air areas, but that should be all.

People make their own decisions on whether to start or not.

EDIT: And the anti-smoking campaigns really are over the top in approach and material.

I think the people who smoke are old enough to decide wether they should smoke or not; you don't need to remind them how unhealthy it is all the time.

Dumb people are just blissfully unaware of how very dumb they are.

My mom smoked for more than 25 years and finally gave it up 2 years ago. I Honestly doubt any scary pictures are going to stop smokers,it's an addiction. They could put dead babies on their packages and people would still probably buy them.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

If you really want to be dumb and harm your own body, they should make smoking legal only in your private homes.

If this is the case they should make drinking legal only in your private homes.

I'd wager it's far more dangerous to drive a car every day than it is too smoke, but you don't see car dealerships putting pictures of gruesome accidents in the car when they sell it to you.

Both can be lethal, both are voluntary. Leave them be.

The difference is that one of the two things you listed has great positive societal benefits and does not always have negative consequences associated with its use.

I say the difference is that one has a negative social stigma attached to it, making it easy for everyone to jump on the holier-than-thou-smoking-is-bad-for-you bandwagon.

Who cares if someone you don't know smokes. Leave them alone, let them be.

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Nothing wrong with these labels in my book. Maybe I'll show em to my brothers and my mom. Get them to stop.

Posted by: Murcielago00The stigma attached to smoking is entirely warranted. It's a completely idiotic habit, and unfortunately, always harms society, either through second-hand smoke or through littering. It would be great to say that personal smoking doesn't harm others, but this simply is not true.

Subject: So, yeah. Smoking.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Smoking needs to be banned in all public places. Not because it's bad for the smoker but because of second-hand smoke and people with asthma or breathing problems. If you wanna die from cancer and live a short life, that's fine by me but I wanna live a long and healthy life and not worry about being around your disgusting smoke.

If everyone stopped smoking, people would sure miss all that tax revenue from buying cigarettes. So, while you may think there are no positive benefits, all that tax money the government collects and uses is a positive. Where I live, more than 50% of the cost of buying cigarettes is tax.

Although, I agree with the littering. Why they can't throw it in the garbage, or leave it in their car instead of tossing it, is beyond me.
