Smoking sucks ass.

It's expensive, has absolutely NO positive sides to it, but is full of negative ones.

Okay, you relax for a bit, but listening to music or, I dunno, playing spider solitaire relaxes too. And it's not expensive and has no side-effects that cause tumors in your lungs.

I don't get why people always use arguments like this against smoking. They act as if everyone in the world wants to live until they're 130.

It has positives and negatives. Although I will agree they aren't balanced.
Also, cigarettes, rolling tobacco, and papers are all incredibly cheap.. I don't understand why you think they're expensive.
Pack of cigs: $5
Pack of rolling tobacco with 40 papers: $2.50

Because it kinda is the only argument besides the 'Well think about the people'- argument, which kinda sucks ass.

But, seriously, living to your 80th in good health and being able to breath is better than becoming ****ing ugly (Cuz that's what cigs do to you too) and dying around your 60th while having trouble breathing for the last 20 or so years.
And the smoke doesn't have a nice smell or anything.


And Nodd, if you smoke 1 or 2 packs of cigs a day, you lose 35 to 70 dollars a week.
That IS expensive.

Come to think of it, it kinda sounds like killing yourself while funding the government.
What the ****, really.

Well, if I smoked a gram of weed a day, that would cost me about 15 bucks a day, and that's what I consider expensive.

I've never smoked a cigarette before. Don't think I'll be making a habit of it any time soon, especially since my grandpa and uncle both died of lung cancer. Just doesn't really make me want to pick it up

Obviously the people who do smoke know what the risks are and are willing to take it. The whole, "you'll die when you're 60" argument is just beating a dead horse. If smokers cared about their appearance, then it would've been given up long ago when they realized stuff like this could happen. Also, if you look at a lot of elderly people, a lot of them are pretty much just waiting to die. I mean, I'm not going to take up smoking, but I certainly wouldn't want to live until i'm 90.

I wouldn't argue that people should stop smoking because it damages their health - so can skateboarding, horse riding, and walking through Glasgow on a Friday night - but smoking also damages the people around them. If you smoke on your own or with other smokers that's fine, but when parents smoke around their children regularly that's starting to harm a third party and that's not so good.

What the ****, you're stupid. I know several people who are in their 80s and they've been smoking cigarettes their entire life. I'm not saying that they're healthy old individuals, I'm just trying to say that your "if u smoak cigurets ur gona die wen ur yung derp" argument can probably be one of the worst arguments you can use against smoking cigarettes.

Anyway, I don't smoke cigarettes, never have actually. Not planning to, either.

I shun smoking. It kills.

Everyone has a right to an opinion, but when your 50 and get chronically ill from lung cancer you may think differently.

Oh, no, they're dead.

I dont smoke, but Im against what Gyhodon's talking about. On the front of every pack of cigarretes is a random label saying something that ranges from harming children, pictures of smoker's lungs, and even the blatantly obvious fact that smoking causes cancer. People who smoke 2-3 packs a day look at these advertisements every time that their eyes focus on the words while taking out a cigarrete. They know the consequences of smoking, and they chose to do it anyways. I dont see why anti-smokers want to stick their nose into other people's lives and try to preach them something that they've known for years.

I don't smoke. I don't see any positive effect if you smoke.

My opinion.

How can you be against what I'm talking about.

Isn't it a fact that smoking has NO positive effects?

And I'm not trying to preach, I'm defending my opinion.

If you wanna kill yourself, go ahead, who am I to stop ya?
