NO WAY! You should never smoke in your life! And I want every one who smoke's to stop! Did you know that one in two smokers die. And your children copy you! They will smoke if you smoke so don't!
SMOKE!

Smoke, theres no downside, seriously, everyone is born with cancer cells, smoking just speeds up the growth. It is now proven that cooked food can cause cancer due to radiation. Smoking makes you look cool, and is a good way to relieve stress. So it cost money, everyone has a job, its not that much. Why not smoke?
I know people that smoke in their 90s

I find it patronising when i get told that if i dont stop smoking i could die of a heart attack at 50 when there are people that smoke into their 90s or even their 100s and are still healthy. I find the whole thing a cherade
proove it

smoking is not bad for you, people who write these articles are,
people who smoke and get cancer don't die from the cancer they die from guilt because everyone says they got cancer from smoking and depression does cause cancer
coffee and alcohol are just as bad for you as smoking people just don't blame you when you drink 3 cups of coffee a day and get stomach cancer like with smoking and lung cancer
in my country a lot of people stopped smoking since new year 2000 and since the number of smokers declined but fact is the cases of lung cancer and copd are is still increasing so maybe the researchers should find other causes for copd and lung cancer then smoking because all they do is focus on smoking and nothing else
prove what

i have read a piece by Ernest Dichter, and has some very reveiling information on why people smoke. its not all down to nicotine. plus if people want to smoke let them, its their life let them smoke if they wish.
Great information

This helped me a lot for a persuasive essay I'm doing for my Health class. There's a lot to smoking that I didn't care to know about but this gave me what I needed. Thank you.
Which bit of it is the bad bit
posted by M.Townsend on 13 Mar 2011 at 1:32 am
I can't dispute that smoking is bad for you, it's just given me a heart attack at 39 years old, but what is it about smoking that actually causes the disease, is Nicotine replacement just as bad?
People are IGNORANT
posted by Travis on 07 Apr 2011 at 8:28 am
While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, disproving the obvious risks of smoking based on "guilt" and "depression" is flat out asinine. That being said, would you disprove that fast food contributes to obesity because you don't believe the ingredients either aren't in it or don't play a part? Or that erratic driving doesn't put you at a higher risk to be injured/killed in an auto accident?
It can correlate to any analogy but the bottom line is; if you chose to smoke, smoke...If you chose not to, then don't. But don't justify your choice by accusing the opposers of being wrong. It's no different than chosing a religion, what to write, say, wear...again any analogy correlates.
Point being: Any action, choice is personal preference...regardless of risks or consequences. As for the addictive factor in smoking, if you're willing to let a habit concur the human will, then you were doomed before you ever smoked your first cigarette. We're all responsible for our own actions, so choose carefully because if you're not happy with your choices, guess who's fault that is...your own.
Use Alternative
posted by MySafeSmoke on 08 Apr 2011 at 8:07 pm
Traditional smoking is still one of the worst habits a person can have. It is deadly, costly and the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. Thanks goodness, somebody has thought of electronic cigarettes; if not, many of earth’s population will end up in the grave soon. Friends of mine often jest that smokers don’t grow old (Now, you might say I am contradicting myself? Wait until you see the other half of the statement). The whole statement is: smokers do not grow old because they die young. If you are in doubt of the relief that the electronic cigarette can provide, then at least it is worth a try by getting one free electronic cigarette. Aside from avoiding the bad effects of tobacco smoking, you can enjoy cheap cigarettes the electronic way. These are refillable and do not contain tartar and nicotine. Addiction or Habit, don't you think that it's good that have an alternative?
Safe Health and Electronic Cigar
posted by MySafeSmoke on 09 Apr 2011 at 5:07 am
Smoking traditional cigarettes has indeed caused so much detrimental effects on the users as well as the secondhand smokers. This is the reason why cigarette advertisements have been banned from television and mass media. Well, humans are weak and smoking is an appealing addiction. So, to solve the problem, electronic cigarettes are invented. Smoking the electronic cigarette can provide the same relaxing effect and taste that tobacco cigarettes have without the negative effects that lead to sicknesses, addiction and even death. Since the best electronic cigarette is nicotine and tartar-free; it is not hazardous to both the smoker and secondhand smokers. It is a good replacement for traditional cigarettes and is especially made for people who find it difficult to quit smoking. You can find the best electronic cigarettes from reliable manufacturers; so make sure that you buy electronic cigarettes only from sources you can trust. Don't you think it's good for you and for your health?
Experiences

Ok, so my great grandad lived into his 90's smoked like a chain, all's good had a happy life. My grandad smoked and died in his 50's and same goes for my best mates dad. No one else in my family or his smokes, so i give that a 2/3 chance, thats statistics out the way. Now, i saw my grandad die in agony infront of me, he had allsorts of forms of cancer, the docs said it was fags, he admitted in the hospital it was and told me, 'its moderation connor, everything is moderation'. So have the odd one, it saves money, time and your life!
Smoking will kill you eventually!!

People who say smoking is okay... They are wrong! Smoking makes you smell bad, gives you lung cancer, yellows your teeth etc. Don't smoke and you'll be glad
