HEY MOFO! im a chainsmoker, smoking doesnt harm YOU. second hand smoke lung damage is a myth. the official paper written on it states that second hand smoke is not harmful, but the tobacco prohibitionists outright ignored that and went on to claim that it DOES kill.
me and my fellow smokers have done you no harm, however, i too am agains the tobacco companies because they are money grubbing thieves....*muttering to myself*$5 for a damn pack of smokes, damn them, it used to be a dime, what changed?..........death should be cheap

Just a tad wrong there. Of course second hand smoke harms you. Whats differnt from it to first hand smoke? Nothing.

yeh in america it causes 400,000+ deaths a year. i dont think we have that mant murders

[delusionsofNORMALity]

yeh in america it causes 400,000+ deaths a year

inflated statistics?

we'll never know how many "smoking related deaths" ther really are each year. when they tally up the statistics on such things personal bias is always a factor. if someone dies of a "possibly" smoking related disease they ask three questions; did this person smoke, did this person come into contact with smokers, did this person ever think about smoking. if the answer to any of these questions is yes, even maybe, then into the smoking deaths column they go.

as a smoker i'm quite aware that i am killing myself, but that is my decision. i don't smoke around nonsmokers or children, i don't smoke indoors (even in my own damn home) and i pay the shitload of taxes they've heaped on my chosen vice (just to penelize and vilify us a little more). why must i endure this constant barrage of ads condemning my "dirty little habit"? why must i listen to a generation of self-righteous know-it-alls telling me how filthy and stupid i am for choosing this particular way to add enjoyment to my life.

this diatribe brought to you by the american black lung association and psychopaths everywhere

Second hand smoke is worse because it hasn't traveled through the "filter"... (i use quotes to indicate my sarcasm)

I have a cigarette every now and then but they really ARE bad for you. Tobacco itself isnt bad for you but its the chemicals they put in commercial cigarettes that are killing everybody. They are carcinogens, and everytime you inhale the smoke you are inhaling and exposing your lung to very bad chemical compounds...

This may sound a bit exaggerated... but you might as well wash your hands with Ethidium Bromide once a week for the rest of your life.
