I don't really have a problem with people smoking, though I do not smoke
myself. Guess it's a way for them to get more money is by taxing something
they find popular.

"I hAte smoking! That's so unhealthy, how could anyone do it to
themselves!" ::same person goes and sits on couch 12 hours a day, eating
junkfood::
I think we all know the risks. If you don't, you're a bloody moron. But I
believe some people are more psychologically dependent upon smoking. Shit,
it's better than heroin! You never hear the horror stories of the kid who
smokes cigarettes one day, the next he's puffing a crack rock through a
"choir boy" steel wool. ((I used to work graveyard at a 7-11...crackheads
roll in at 3 am to by their makeshift crack pipes...sad)) When are people
gonna take responsibility for their own actions, and stop blaming others?
If Timmy falls and cracks his head on a rock, do you sue the rock? ((no,
it has no money, why bother))
I thought smokers had rights, too. This country's economy used to depend
on booze, animal pelts, and tobacco. It's not like it just popped up
overnight. Cars are even more dangerous to people, or others, than any
tar-filled cancer stick. It's all about control. Do you want to control
what goes in your body, or do you want Uncle Sam to manage it for you,
because people are inherently stupid. Also, a whiff of smoke you walk
through on the street isn't gonna rip out your lungs and force feed you
your larynx.
Just so you know...

I think cigs around 4 dollars here in Florida. Well at least in Tampa. I
don't smoke, don't mind it though. Went to the Casualties show the other
nite and came home with my jacket smelling of cigs. I kept smelling it all
the next day, just breathing it in. I think I like the smell of them a
bit, but really really love the smell of cloves!

i love the smell of cigarettes, but i hate the taste. i do, however, smoke
cigars. i freakin love those. unfortunatly i'm poor and i smoke poor man's
cigars (swisher sweets) but i love those too. i'm more of a social smoker.
1 or 2 packs a month. if that. and considering swisher sweets are less then
$2 here(oklahoma) i can afford it. and to me, cigaretts and especially
cigars add a romantic affect. everything is so cut and dry these days with
my generation.

let's face it, the government cannot ban smoking because there would be a
huge economic back lash if they did. (plus they learned their lesson after
prohibition, all it did was create another under world for crime) so they
are going to tax the hell out of 'em until we cannot afford them anymore.
what about those lawsuits the tobacco industry went through? that was a
travesty of the legal system. we have free will. i smoke, but if i am
inflicted w/ cancer later in life i have nobody but myself to blame.

:dances around and laughs: Ok, so there is at least one perk to living in
mid-missouri. Cigarettes are cheap as shit. At wallgreens a pack of
marlborro reds is aproximately 2.50.... Ahhh,,, yummy tar in my lungs, how
I love theee...
And yes, if not bought at walgreens they are expensive about 3.40 per
pack,, the government taxes it because they see it as not a necessity to
life,,, apperantly not many of them are smokers...
(and because the thread was so long and I was so lazy, I just read the fist
few posts. Thus, if what I have said has already been said, do not mind
me.)

Theres only one chemicle in cigarettes Anon...and thats my foot up your
ass, get a name.
By the way, I recently found out today that the governments been lying...to
all of us.
Cigarettes aren't bad for your health, not at all. In fact, many of the
chemicles in them have a perservative effect that inhibits natural aging
and cellular degeneration. Combined with large amounts of other so called
"unhealthy" substances ie: alcohol, opium and morphine...a dedicated user
can extend his or her life two to three times greater than the norm.
Stress however kills. Car Exhaust kills. Jesus kills and a new scientific
research project has uncovered that yes...even puppies kill.
So light up kids...the cigarette you smoke today could save your life
tomorrow.
But seriously...for people who tend to look sideways at just about
everything, it's funny how we all take the "cigarettes are unhealthy" for
you line without even a real second guess. I did some delving and found
some really weird inconsistencies with some of the research papers put out
on it, and the practices used in finding out whats healthy and whats not.
Science is rarely objective anymore, especially if it's against something
the government doesn't like...and doesn't want anyone else to like.
By the way, the sun also causes cancer. I think, in order to perserve our
society we should blot out the sun with a giant cloud of metal
particulates. The best way to do that is to pound iraq with nukes...
And I not only think, but I know...a chick with a cigarette in one hand and
smoke trailing out of her lips is dead fucking sexy. Who wants a "good
girl?"
And I also think the late great Marlboro Man was the messiah.
oh-rah cough cough cough.

Okay, for you Californians, there's something I do not get about your
state.
As of recently, your state has outlawed smoking on the beaches, many saying
it is "bad for the environment and bad for your health." However, you also
got some of the same people trying to legalise marijuana. I'm not going to
get into the health debate on it for it's just pointless now, but why the
Hells is that? Isn't dropping marijuana roaches a form of littering, just
like littering cigarettes? Besides, people are going to do the stuff
anyway so what's the point in making all these -little- laws. It's almost
as amusing as restricting the purchase of glue and rubber cement to people
over 18, yet they're school supplies. Heh.
On top of it all, while I do not smoke, I wouldn't care if someone pulled a
lawsuit on the state of Califoria just for trying to take away our civil
rights.
*cheeky grin*
Dolo, I have to agree with you to an extent, there are girls who smoke and
then SMOKING girls....some it just doesn't look right. And they gotta be
wearing a black cowboy hat and tight pants. And fuck me red lipstick.
*sigh* it's almost enough to drive the most hetero girl to the other side.

Because politicians want to keep their office. If there are people making
enough noise about an issue, it gets addressed. Beyond that, pot was
legalized due to "medicinal benefits." If you're going to toke it, have a
perscription. Unfortunately, due to federal law still being in effect, it
is still pretty damned illegal. And if you want marijuana for prescriptive
reasons, it has been out in a pill for for years. You just won't get high
off of that one. Besides, it's passe to just roll joints. You're supposed
to show off your pipe. It's a fucking art form now.
And while glue and rubber cement may be school supplies, there was a spike
in huffing incidents. If kids need to glue something, they can buy the
elmers. All the stick, none of the fumes.

According to a lot of boys I know, there's a correlation between
everything and arousal . . .

rednecks hold pool cues too.. but a person is more likely to kill someone
with a gun, than a pool cue...
