That's the part the anti-smokers don't like to talk about. They say that smoking knocks 10 years off your life expectancy. Well, it's the ten years you're going to be spending bedridden, hooked up to a machine with tubes, and wearing diapers. As far as I'm concerned, you can have them!
Lost my first wife, mother, father to tobacco. My mother was on oxygen and smoked until at the doctors office saw someone smoking through their trach and coughing up out the trach. So what ever it takes to gross you out enough to stop. Is there a smokers prayer: Help me over come this addiction before it kills me?
The people I see hooked up are due to smoking tobacco? So where is your logic? My father's lung cancer metastasized on his spine so you can guess how long he lasted!
Sounds like a good enough reason to me! Could have been something else < devils advocate: but glad it works for you! I believe I should not be exposed to second hand smoke: you can smoke you just can not exhale. But that IS the out come of that addiction.
While it's true that everybody does know, I don't think the youth is fully aware of the consequences of what they are doing. The reason people continue to smoke is because the amount of nicotine (the addictive substance in cigarettes) is increased exponentially each year. Why would they do this? To keep smokers from quitting and get the young people hooked a little easier I'd say.
I wonder if anyone actually believes that....
Believe it? There are actually people who have studied it.
What about children who have been affected by second-hand smoke and currently have respiratory problems? The 10 years you are going to spend "bed-ridden" at the end of your life will more likely be a result of your smoking than anything else.
I know but young people are known to not care about their health. I quit cigs because they are stupid, its not about health. I took plenty of drugs and binge drank often, I`m like 21 who gives a shit
You can bring me the "health bill" when I`m done having fun lol Its not about regretting it in the end either becuase saying that hardly works too Completely agree in every way. Another reason I never smoked standing with people labelled Smokers (aka the victimised chainsmoking spitting scavengers). If they finished and everyone else was still smoking they'd just light another even if they didn't want it.The thing is people don`t use tobacco wisely. I liked about 4 a day and they always got me a little dizzy and a little relaxed. Smoked up to 15 at most I think but that was horrible. But people smoking 2-4 packs.... Its like a tic or something, or using your lungs as some form of stressball activitiy. Thats not even tobacco ingestion, its plain silly.
Also I never could understand how people smoked pre rolled cigarettes, they are horrible. Fine if your binge drinking though
Moral of the story is anything over half a packet a day is plain crazy and in my terms "not the way you should smoke". So before shooting down smoking about how it fucks people up bare in mind they are lighting up just for the hell of it constantly, becase they have that 5 minutes and its pre rolled and available.
Golden virginia is the best! No more for me anymore though lol
I'm sure the health bill would eventually arrive if you continued to keep smoking. The pictures are more meant to keep people from trying it in the first place than getting people who they already have addicted to quit. The price doesn't deter smokers either. My dad has smoked since he was 14. We were always poor but not too poor to buy my dads cigarettes. When you're hooked you're hooked. Price doesn't matter. The "cough/dry throat and smell which is backed up" are ALL HEALTH PROBLEMS!!! That's what the labels are warning of.I know but young people are known to not care about their health. I quit cigs because they are stupid, its not about health. I took plenty of drugs and binge drank often, I`m like 21 who gives a shit
If anything stops people from smoking its the price, cough/dry throat and smell which is backed up by the idea of the long term risks. Its unnecessary to slam pictures whcih look straight out of rotten.com on packets, thats just plain unfair. Fuck sake, smokers pay shitloads of tax, forced to smoke outside and not in bus stops, constantly nagged by health nazis and finally have to stare at somebodys great idea of a deterrent.
And they still smoke, everyone in the street has a fag in their hand lol All corners still full of dog-ends and smoking areas of pubs/clubs are full. The pictures on the packs were mainly a good laugh for me lol
(And if a parent wants to smoke around their child thats their choice. You can only blame the substance so much)
