Why do we blame people who smoke? Why can't we blame the producers! The manufacturers itself! And the POLITICIANS for allowing cigars, tobacco, cigarettes to be sold by the GOVERNMENT! Damn people!


Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 09/09/2010
They sell because people are crazy enough to go buy something that you know has harmful materials in it. You would not even dare to lick arsenic or cyanide...so why inhale it? Get some willpower and don't succumb to the government.

i know this is got nothing to do with this but my uncle died of lung cancer and he didn't do anything like smoke to


Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 12/01/2009
In oprder to get lung cancer you only need to inhale somebody else smoke from their cigarettes; Secondhand smoke kills at least 3,000 people in the USA everyear.

Posted by:  notobaccocampaign(Guest)  Posted on: 06/04/2009
Smoking tobacco is dangerous to your health. People should be informed by the issues about smoking. To spread this information to a wider audience, a free e-book is being given away. The book is endorsed by prominent people, such as Dalai Lama.

I think that a person taking tobacco is not a human being.


Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 01/13/2009
i think they are a human beging just not a good one



Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 09/03/2009
I agree with you too



Posted by:  e-cig_user(Guest)  Posted on: 12/20/2011
I was under the assumption that only God had the right to judge people. I wonder if he knows a bunch of idiots out there are impersonating him? Hmmm... Get a life!



Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 10/25/2009
I believe a smoker is a human being. I think they just don't give a shit about themselves enough or the environment. I know that I see a lot of cigarette buts nearly everywhere I look outside. I wonder how much pollution happens from smoking???? I wonder if people care enough for humanity.



Posted by:  guest  Posted on: 12/10/2009
You know what? BOTH of my parents smoke, and as much as I hate them for doing it they're still human. Everyone is human, wether they smoke or do drugs or whatever. We all have free will, and no one can make us do something we don't want to do. Our life is our choices piled up into a mass. If you make bad choices, the mass that is your body pays for it. Life is a big lesson, only some people can learn it.

Smoking can kill you and if it doesn't it gives you bad breath, yellow teeth and skin, sore throats and itchy eyes.


Posted by:  sublimedrive  Posted on: 05/02/2012
E cigarettes may not kill you, don't give you bad breath, no yellow teeth, no sore throat or eyes. It is great for tobacco smokers wanting an alternative.



Posted by:  Solome6(Guest)  Posted on: 05/15/2012
Actually, it's used for trying to stop smoking, or keep smoking nicotine but without the harmful chemicals.
