@Gunnz287 whys that sad. who cares

[reymatt76]

OK, so smoking is bad for you. I don't understand how much more they want the tobacco companies to do! The truth is that our government allows the sale of a product which they know leads to cancer and all sorts of health problems. So who is the real guilty one here?

1n 1997, the oldest recorded person to live died. Her name was Jeanne Louise Calment and she smoked 1 cigarette per day after dinner. Moderate smoking is o.k. and smoking is known to be beneficial in digestion. Abuse of any kind is bad.

I'm glad weed is illegal , the tar levels are crazy , I think smoking anything is a stupid decision . I hate it when people advocate mar mar like it's the cure for everything , it has terrible negative effects on certain people , cigarettes are also retarded for different reasons , mostly additives

@aznfootwork Confused. I don't anyone who smokes that doesn't think tobacco is unhealthy. Who here goes to (insert fast food) thinking they're getting healthy food? I started smoking at 15 i think (I'll try anything twice). I also shun at the misuse/loose use of addiction. The "addicting" effects are no different than depriving someone of their morning coffee. It's habit, it's routine. You alter that regiment and red lights start flashing in your body. Everyone has their vises.

@aznfootwork

We know it's addictive. We still smoke. We still start smoking. We still ENJOY smoking. It's a hobbie, a out-lit, a social activity. It's many things besies just a addiction....

@RuneFinity44 It's not just anti smoking groups who know nicotine is addictive. It's doctors. It's scientists. Nicotine is addictive, thus smoking tobacco is addictive. Don't be ignorant. Any 2 minute search online will tell you the truth. If not, talk to a health professional. It is an undeniable truth. You don't know, b/c you don't have to deal with helping nicotine addicts quit. You actually need to use pharmacologic interventions like Buproprion. Tobacco thrives off of ignorance.

Anti smoking groups love the word addiction. The want smokers to feel guilty as hell, hang this sign around there neck "adict". Why? Not to make them quit. They need a reason as to why 60 million adult Americans still chose to smoke, and thousands of adults and young adults begin smoking ever day. It's because there anti-tobacco ads FAILED. People understand the risk of tobacco smoke and make a discussion to still smoke. When they say addict, i don't buy it for a minuet.

@AmericanNohbuddy I apologize for the typo. I said "my" when I really wanted to use "might" in my above statement. I know you did not mention soldier, but I felt your comments affects the soldiers, cops, firefighters or any American who put their lives on the line for their job. Remember, the Declaration of Independents which guaranteed Americans life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was written after American lives were lost in the battle with the British for a fight over liberty.
