great movie. Helps explain why cigarettes are more addictive than some hard drugs.
The other argument: air pollution, car accidents, murders, etc. (Whatever). I think we all aware that deaths occur at random whether one smokes or not but HOW that justifies the right of someone to smoke next to a non-smoker...sorry, falls flat.

yah i mean, if you want to kill yourself, you are free to do so. just don't kill me while you are it.

I've recently switched from Prince Light to North State Gold - they're cheaper and I can't really taste much of a difference.

I plan on quitting smoking from the 1st of August though

I operate on a "do it because you want to, not because you have to" basis for most things in life. I stopped drinking caffine because I got addicted. I still smoke occationally because I like it and have no problems with limiting my consumption.

And that's my 2 cents

actually if you was born, you are doomed to be waisted some day... anyone who was born has to die... so even most innocent things we do cause the fact that we die...

Well, good luck my friend.

If you have a strong will it is not so difficult.

I started smoking at the age of 13 and stopped at the age of 21, smoking over 30 per day.

Now after nearly 25 years not smoking I am still consider it as my best decision I've ever made. From the first couple of weeks of quitting smoking you already can feel the positive difference.

I don't put smoking and Alcohol in the same catagory simply because:

while alcohol if consumed In moderation, that means 2 to 3 points /day, is scientifically proven that is of great health beneficial regarding heart problems, cigarettes are not, even if consumed in moderation the difference is only that if you smoke less you will have less damage but never positive beneficials like alcohol.

While it is true that alcohol may have some benefits at low consumption levels, it is by no means proven that consumption of alcohol (at any level) in general is good for you. Smoking is allways bad for you, but so is exposing your skin to the sun (at least if you are as pale as me).

At the end of the day you got to enjoy living and to do so make decisions that are bad for you. By limiting the consumption of pleassures that are bad for you to only what truely improves your quality of life (and hence not getting addicted forcing you to chain smoke cigarettes 7 am while O.D.ing on coffee just to stay awake), I think a reasonably healthy balance can be reached.

I smoke between 5-7 cigarettes a week (and an occational cigar) and enjoy it greatly

here in jordan smoking is like a must to most people... i remember me and a friend were in a taxi and he had this huge sign on the window saying no smoking - if you want to kill urself do it away from us... just when i finished reading it i looked at the driver and he immedietly lit up a cigarette... my friends and i laughed the whole trip

I'm not justifying smoking next to another person as a right. What I am saying is that besides this, how do you equivocate someone driving next to me with a potentially deadly tool such as a vehicle being ok???? Or for that matter me crossing the street and someone in his or her vehicle spewing carcinogens in the air that I breath??? So you may think it falls flat. Obviously there is hypocracy going on because now we accept some lifestyle choices and yet deny other lifestyles.
So if we talk about banning cigarettes, we sure as heck need to ban a whole sh!t load of other things too. Still I guess it is only and ONLY the smoker who is the problem in society. I like to see it happen! Dare you all non-smokers to believe in this. Watch the economy go to **** and your welfare govt get a shortfall of cash which some of you are dependent on getting your free medical coverage and college tuition!

My point is that while all the others at least in few amounts are good for health smoking is not.

Regards alcohol, yes it has good benefits if consumed in moderation and by adults. In fact even some surgens are suggesting to their patients after a full recovery from a bye pass surgery to drink a glass of red wine after meals on a daily basis.

Unfortunately there are many things in life which are killing us all slowly, but at least we can reduce those things which are of no importance.

If you smoke an average of a cigarette a day you cannot really call yourself a smoker and I know that sometimes people enjoy smoking a cigarette while having a drink, but not me anymore. In fact that's why I stopped frequenting pubs and nightclubs because I cannot stand the smell of smoking. I'm allergic for that. If somebody smoke a cigarette near me indoor, sure I will be in need to use my inhalers.
