raise price on taxes but only for cigerattes

obtain a lot more taxdollars and cut down on smokers

less risk of stuffstorms forming in gangs

Nicotine - a commonly known ingredient in cigerattes - does not cause cancer, but can actually spread more nutrients into cancer cells, thus speeding up cancer's growth.

Polonium - a not-so-commonly known ingredient in cigerattes - is actually radioactivate, and CAN cause cancer!

i think people who smoke should have to buy them with proof of health insurance.
in this way, people can be forced to be insurred if they are going to smoke, thus lowering the use of everyone elses social security and medicare money.
and the insurance companies can then charge the smokers up the ass for whatever it evens out at (the health risks's cost"

im all for people having the right to smoke. but it shouldnt be at the cost of everyone else.

I disagree with smoking, but I don't think it should be illegal because it would leave a lot of people jobless.

nothing like a good cigar

actually, around 80% of the farms in NC are tobacco farms or tobacco/soy farms.
this is true, lol.

Making smoking illegal is never going to happen, no chance.
For starters millions of smokers are highly addicted and for cigarettes to suddenly go away and have no means to get them is an extremely bad idea, not to mention (I dunno about other countries but in Aus at least) the government has occasional anti smoking ads, to keep up appearance. They don't want you to stop smoking at all, they make billions off of cigarettes alone.

I do smoke but very rarely, generally on special occasions or when I have a big party or something.
Also, another -don't know about other countries- thing, is that I have never, ever met a single person who smokes to "look cool" and I know a forgetton of people that do smoke. Maybe it's some wigger thing over in america that people do this but here at least it goes like this.
>people smoke because they want to/relieves stress/addictions etc
>people who don't smoke think that the people who do smoke do it to be cool
>thus non smokers hate on people who smoke for their own reasons irrationally
???
>society

Also cigars make me feel classy.
Also monocles.

I hate smoking all around. A close family member of mine smoked a pack and a half daily and had his lungs checked. It was disgustingly hazy and he was having convulsions and seizures when they tried removing some of the tar. He hacked up so much for the next week, I could have sworn he guzzled a gallon of water a day. Not to mention second hand smoke too.

Smoking plants are stupid too and doesn't make you look any cooler. What's so cool about smoking your brain cells away? Nothing at all if the police catch you nonetheless and you have to live with it on your record.


Long story short, smoking is deadly poisonous, stupid, and can harm others too.

kilser's nightmare topic right here

i cant stand it. and people who do it loving stink. their cars loving stink. their clothes loving think, their furniture loving stinks.
Not if they do it outside and naked also underwater.

Also once again for everyone thinking it would be a good idea to make smoking illegal, you should look up prohibition and see how well that worked out.

Smoking is horrible, my bro has Asthma and he could get an attack if he gets near someone smoking, people can get cancer from it too.

I hate smoking, it seems impossible to convince my dad to stop.
I don't think he'll ever stop until he gets lung problems.


people should have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies
Completely totally 100 percent agree. BUT secondhand smoke is a real issue.

I absolutely despise smoking, I think it should be illegal. You get addicted, and it kills you up to twice as fast. It harms innocents because of secondhand smoke, it's annoying as crap for people walking by because it smells like crap. If you're friends or family with a smoker it's annoying because they have to go outside constantly.
Why the forget should it be banned if it's the person's choice? oh no he had to go outside dangnabit. If people want to hurt themselves but relive themselves of stress let'em do it.

It looks cool on certain people. :)

It's stupid.

It doesn't help you any, makes you look stupid, smells like stuff.

My parents smoke, and it's terrible. I absolutely hate it, I really can't breathe if it's around, I start coughing or something when I'm around it in high concentration, not to mention mild asthma. In low concentration it almost 'enrages' me, I get restless and have to remove myself if I smell it. (But then again, it is a stimulant)
