Maybe we should forbid all fat food too. Let's just forbid all kinds of food except a government-distributed "omni-goo" which contains everything you need to stay alive, just to be sure! The world would be a much better place.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to get across here, you twat.
I have no problem with smoking at all. There are far worse things in this world, both health and environment wise, that we should be concerned about.
Smoking is a vice that is hardly going to end life as we know it.

The question isn't why is smoking still legal, but why are other drugs still ILlegal, especially marijuana?
Making something illegal isn't a way to eliminate it from society. If it exists, people will do it, period. Making it illegal just makes it so the BAD guys are in charge of it.
i see what you're saying there, but i still see tobacco as being far worse as it effects the environment aswell
You 're totally right! Let's make all things that are bad for the environment illegal! Maybe we should outlaw anything that isn't strictly neccesary. Producing things that are "fun" affects the environment! And for what? This thing called "pleasure"? Bullshit!
Man, fuck you. Smoking is in every way fucking stupid and a negative thing. I have no problem with you wanting to smoke, I just see it as a waste of resources. Why have people taking up a hospital room due to smoking related issues when you could be using those resources for mor eimportant shit we can't stop.
Obviously smoker related health issues don't totaly flood out hospitals, but I just see it as something we can stop. "Outlawing everything which is fun" is not what I was trying to convey.
okay well let's stop all foods with fat in them, extreme activities, swimming, and for the hell of it, let's shoot everyone who has retardation through the brain
man these people are taking up beds that could be used to actually help people, geez

No, see, we're not going to live in a goddamn Demolition Man world. Not going to happen.

Smoking isn't a stupid and negative thing in every way. People like the taste and it makes them feel better. Of course it isn't neccesary, and it's bad for your health, but if someone thinks the positive outweighs the negative, let them smoke if they want to.

tobaco is still legal coz its not considered a mind altering substance

Yeah I guess. I just wanted to know if the idea of putting a stop to it was ever considered.
I hate people who reply to a discussion starter with 'YOU ARE DUMB'
Point out where he is wrong you elitist fuck, and stop being so high and mighty. He raises some valid points and while, yes, I agree he is for the most part really very wrong on the issue, replying with 'you are dumb' makes you come off as just as much of a jerk as he is.
Aimed at Wise_A btw.
I think you might get the idea if I just throw this one at you:
"You are".
In addition, I'm saying that he is dumb in general, not solely because of this thread but based on a longer history of retardation.
Also, this is the only time I ever said this but I wish Defender would come in here and do his thing. That would fix this thread right up.

blue powder, you strike me as one of those individuals that will approach some poor innocent smoker on the street and start cough and hacking while screaming "EXCUSE ME I'M TRYING TO BREATH HERE!" in his/her ear.

I hate smoking but I think people have every right to do so. A lot of my good friends smoke around me and I just don't let it bother me. I can't be in a closed room with a bunch of smokers though. That shit irritates my eyes something fierce.
Rane - I was actually counting down the minutes and seconds until you came in here and straightened this guy out. Whats a pro-smoking / anti-smoking thread without Rane? Something I don't wanna think about.
If tobacco was illegalized, a huge black market would arise over night. More crime is what exactly what this country needs, especially if otherwise law abiding citizens are clogging up the legal system.

No, I don't. The majority of my close friends smoke. I never said I had a problem with smokers. I was simply looking at it from an objective point of view.

We should just shoot anyone who needs a hospital bed, and then we don't even need hospital beds anymore.

I saw the most disgustingly awkward thing the other day at the Quick Check. Keep in mind that I don't smoke cigarettes / have never even tried one. I have a cigar about once a week, thats my only foray into the tobacco world.
I was standing in line, ready to purchase my new favorite drink of all time (snapple's nectarine flavored white tea). There was an older lady in front of me, and in front of her was a guy buying a couple packs of cigs at the register. All of a sudden, the lady in front of me taps the guy with the cigs on the shoulder. She says "You know what those things do, don't you?".
You should have seen the guys face. It was kinda early in the morning, for chrissakes. The guy says "Sure". The lady continues "My father just got done with a battle with lung cancer, he died. Now I'm making it my personal job to tell everyone I see". Everyone in line at that point rolls their eyes. She continues to beat on this poor guy, who did nothing wrong. Finally, the cashier steps in and tells the lady that while we are all sorry for her loss, its not her place to force her opinions on everybody.
The cigarette guy takes that as his chance to get the fuck out, and does so.
I mean, I understand that the lady was probably really sad and stuff, but come on. Completely unnecessary and immensely awkward.
Lets not forget the environmental positives of smoking. Commercial tobacco production does play a vital role in processing CO2 into sweet, sweet oxygen.
That being said, I wish I didn't smoke like 27 cigars this weekend so I could breath today.
I never said it smelling was a problem. I'm pretty sure they use heaps of fertilizer and shit to help grow the stuff, and wouldn't all the chemicals fuck with the atmosphere?
I never came here to argue, I just asked a question.

HURF DURF DURF all I did was ask a question what the problem durr durr
if you haven't realized that questions cause debate, then you're so stupid that you are not allowed a hospital bed
Yeah, I challenge the use of the word "many" in that statement. Most smokers I know will flick cigarette butts anywhere they can.
Fair enough. Like I said, I don't smoke cigarettes. I'm basically going off my dad, who is completely OCD when it comes to his cigarette butts. He's the only one who smokes cigarettes in my family, and he always goes out on the deck. When he's done, he brings it inside, runs it under the faucet, and puts it in the garbage can.

tossing cigarette butts is an often overlooked form of littering
3DS: 5241-1953-7031
This is a good point, but not all smokers do this. Many smokers use the proper receptacles, etc.
Yeah, RANEADOS.
the government made up littering
it's not real
anywho, man I thought he meant a SERIOUS effect
hahaha litter
wooo
