I do hate smoking.
I think that was stupid for people or young people who are smoking try to make themselves look cool. That just stupid.
I work with lots of young people, some of them are smoking (I can smell from them and they told me that they are smoking, even they are under-age) I was asked them why does they all smoking? And they just say ‘That’s cool and I enjoyed that’ I say nothing back to them, because it is their choice. I would tell them not to smoking if they at youth club hours or with us (youth event etc) But outside of that hours, it is their parent responsibility. So nothing do with me or my work colleagues at all. But we does tell them that smoke is dangerous, etc, of course. But we can't make them stop or report to their parent usually if we saw them smoking when they with us, though. That was very diffuclt for us, really.
Since 1st July 2007, England has banned smoking in the public area, such as restaurant, bar, nightclub, Bus-Stop, etc. Also recently, 1st October 2007, the selling smoking age has up from 16 to 18 years olds. Which was good, because that would difficult for young people buy smoking off from the shop now. But that won't work for few years, after that should work, I hope! And not allowed to smoking in public area so it wont affect to another non-smoke people, like as myself.

My parents smoke, my aunts and uncles smoke, my cousins smoke, shit, my whole family pretty much smokes because they're native and they can get cheap smokes. I've grown up around everyone smoking my whole life, whenever I'm around my aunts/uncles/parents/cousins etc, i could really care less if they smoke around me, i've adapted to the smell and it doesn't bother me now. I could honestly care less if it's toxic and what not, I can't stop them, I can't tell them not to. I don't care. My parents have been smoking since they were 12-13. My dad is 50 and my mom is 46 now. They're both healthy and have nothing wrong. I don't see why they say "ohh every smoker will get cancer and die". Sure, eventually they might, but they're perfectly fine right now. So, I could really give two shits let people do what they want, theres nothing you can do about it so stop your bitching and complaining. If people are smoking around you. Move, don't stand there and be a little bitch and start coughing and trying to get them to notice. Just move to somewhere else or leave. Easy as that.

I don't understand the whole "looks cool" thing. The first thing I think of when I see a smoker is how stupid they look with the cigarette hanging out of their mouth. It's especially very unattractive when a girl smokes.

I don't like cigarette smoke... my mom smokes cigarettes, it bothers me just because the smoke really gets to me and I cough up a storm. But I've come to get used to it from living with her on and off for 19 some odd years.
Add to the fact that nearly EVERYONE on my mom's side of my favorite also smokes, and I'm used to it. My dad's side is a different story.

i smoke & i love smokers. in ohio it recently became illegal to smoke in any restaurants, bars, bowling alleys, etc. & it's the biggest pain in the ass ever. oh, second hand smoke, boo  ing hoo...it's not illegal to smoke cigarettes, so deal with it...i hate whiny non-smokers, they're such lil' bitches about it. if smoking is sooooo horrible then make it illegal & quit selling cigarettes, if that's not gonna happen then shut up about it is my opinion on the matter. |

I don't understand how people can smoke. They shove a rolled up piece of paper with garbage inside of it into their mouths and puff on it. What is that about? Honestly! I think it should be banned.

smoking chill me out. it's a great hobbie and a good way to cap off a day for me. Just sitting back in the garage and chilling and bullshitting with my boy, ahh i love our smoke sessions.
right now though i gotta cut back for wrestling season, the only time my lungs will be filled with goodness is friday-sunday.

My thoughts are simply this. I'm against smoking. It smells of hell, and it yellows your teeth and fingers. Add to that, I am allergic to smoke, and when I go to a concert, which isn't very often due to smoke, I get very, very ill. So, smoke in your car, or in your home, whatever...please don't smoke by the exit/entrance doors to a business or at a concert  |

So because somebody doesn't want to get cancer, they should have to stay away from public places & restaurants? I have no problem with smokers, as long as they do it in private and aren't doing it in public places. It's been said already, but a person's right to not be around second smoke outweighs a person's right TO smoke. Forcing secondhand smoke on other people is dangerous. Forcing the smokers to take their habit outside isn't. |

Selling cigarettes is pointless, there is no benefit at all to them.

Living life is prolonged suicide iyam. Selling cigarettes is pointless, there is no benefit at all to them. Selling cigarettes isn't pointless if you're the tabacco company or the store that is selling them. |
