    It's very difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle but it's worth it.
    I like meat, I like marlboro, I like cola but I try not to push it, even when I'm 28 I'm looking out for my health because it's so important. But I think it's best not to be to fanatic about it. I know this American lady, she gets if you light a cigarette in her home.
    Running in New York isn't much of a choice. Working in an office all day isn't much of a choice. Those aren't really choices you can easily make.

    Smoking in a designated area is an easy choice smokers can make. I don't see why its so difficult. Hell, maybe it will even deter someone from smoking, saving both money and health.

    There's fanatics on both sides of the coin. A simple compromise and everyone should be able to get along while still doing what they want.

      The funniest posts in this thread are by the ones who try to deny it's dangerous for both themselves and those who have to inhale that crap. Only really in the USA can rich tobacco companies find a way to spend money to 'educate' the gullible about something so obviously false. But then that's why the USA is probably the only Western country where a significant % still believe in crap like creationism. It's amazing the stuff money can by including basic education.

      My only in this thread as arguing with all the other selfish pricks who really can't understand why people don't want to share their shit is pointless.
      Ignorance is never bliss.

              No one with a right mind would deny that it's dangerous to smoke.
              However, the scientific evidence that has been buried or ignored, particularly in the US, shows that there is NO "second hand smoke crisis."
              Do people dislike it? Sure.
              Does common courtesy dictate measures that would allow non-smokers to be an environment where they can avoid smoke? Of course.
              Does that mean that smoking should be banned in ventilated smoking areas - in businesses which could be clearly designated as "smoking permitted" - and ON THE STREET? Hardly.

                EVERYONE is going to die, if smokers die younger who the fuck cares? The only years they miss are the shitty ones at the end anyway, i hate vegetable eating non smokers, speanding all there lives trying to live longer, but they're only wasting there life longer.

                    When you would take all the things away that are unhealthy it would be very boring. Micro wave food is bad, going to the tanning booth (see leehotti) is bad. All those pornstars doing it without a condom are taking enormous health risks.Cellphones are bad, getting to close to your laptop is bad (if you are a guy) and the list goes on and on.

                      So then are you saying you wouldn't have a problem with a nuclear plant dumping its chemicals wherever it wants? I mean, its pretty bad for your health, but so are sooo many other things, what's the difference?

                          Because most smokers have no idea how irritating smoke can be to non-smokers.

                              some smokers need to know that they don't own the world and not everyone around them can put up with them blowing their smog all over

                                non-smokers possess a high degree of superiority over smokers because they are confident they will live long enough

                                  I was referring to the fanatic behaviour of some people towards smokers. Breathing in a bit of smoke is the same as breathing in a bit of smog when you walk on the street. If you are eating in a restaurant and some smoker is bothering you well just ask him not to smoke, I'm sure he will put out his cigarette.

                                          I thought they more looked at smokers like they were the devil's spawn, evil and nefarious, rather than pariahs.

                                              I hate smokers... they don't realize how offensive smoking is until they quit. My mom has been smoking for like 35+ years although her dad died from cancer 24 years ago. It would have been really awesome to meet my grandpa but I never got the chance to because he got cancer as a result of smoking and chewing. I hope my mom is finally quitting for good because I'd like my future kids to have a grandma.

                                              Not only is smoking indoors offensive, but now that it has been moved outside in WA littering is a huge problem. The ground is littered with cig butts and it looks extremely trashy.

                                                a) maybe their pissed cuz your second-hand smoke could be giving them lung cancer

                                                b) because folks who don't smoke don't want the meal their paying for to be ruined by your selfishness

                                                just a thought...

                                                  I long for the day i can walk into the bathroom with a cig in my mouth and one hand on my cock as i take a piss.....

                                                  I long for the day I can walk through the Mall with a cig in my mouth as i buy my latest club shirts!!!!!!

                                                  I miss the days when smokes where $2 a pack!!!!!!!

                                                      Ok as a smoker I know that cigs smell,
                                                      I know that non-smokers dont want to breath in the "toxic air",
                                                      and I know its bad for my health..

                                                      I smoke less then a 1/2 pack a day, try to smoke only a few smokes when at work and use my brake time to do so. I don't smoke in my own house or in other people's I have no problem with stepping out side or waiting until I leave to have a smoke. If I'm in someones car and they dont smoke nor do I unless they say its ok to and even then only with the window down.
                                                      Just because I have not stopped smoking does not mean that I should force a non smoker to breath the smoke in, but on the same note just because you dont smoke doesnt mean you can butch at me for smoking in the open air.

                                                      Only thing that I dont understand are the smokers that toss their cig butt's on the ground when standing next to a butt stop/place to butt it out. Well that and non-smokers that complain about smokers and then the same people smoke when they drink, smoke weed (yep its just as bad for you), or ... fuck it I'm going for a smoke... and take in some cold canadian winter air.

                                                        why do smokes think they have the right to make me smell cigarette smoke?
                                                        .
                                                        Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

                                                            I am pretty concious of the people around me, and if someone is uncomfortable with my smoking, I will leave and smoke elsewhere.....except in bars, if you go out to bars/clubs and expect there to be non-smoking, you are in the wrong place ;)
                                                            Same here, if somebody has a problem with my smoking, I won't smoke around them.

                                                            If somebody that is a nonsmoker, or hell even a smoker, is in my truck, I'll ask them if it is alright to light up. I'm polite enough to think of other people.
