Oh, do cigars count? I've been known to have the odd cigar. Very civilised.

I thought it was just about cancer sticks for some reason

Well I think that was the initial poster's intention to discuss the cancer sticks.

Well, it's mostly 'cancer sticks', but you can discuss any smokable tobacco product. I personally don't like cigars as much, although i do have one just everynow and then.

i think its disgusting but as long as you don't bother me with it i don't give a damn (same thing with homosexuals and the chinese

).

Smoking not only affects the health of people in the immediate vicinity, it is a health drain on society as a whole. Ill health is damaging to a society.

Overeating also fits this category.

About my personal beliefs about smoking? The only way I can think of to say this politely is: it is terribly unwise.

Don't worry, if my bad habit ever results in me needing medical attention, i'll refuse that medical attention, as i brought the problem on myself, and there are more needy people out there.

Im a smoker.Ive been smoking for over 15 years.A nasty habit but hard to end. I think that before my time is up smoking will be banned.And thinking on health issues i guess it will be good for the people,but personally i dont like how in many places the legistlation is turning into discrimination of smokers.If i cant poison myself with tobacco,why shouldnt booze also then be banned. Why cant people themselves decide what they want to do to their health.

Smoking cigarettes is kinda pointless in my eyes. If you have to smoke something, smoke weed.

A dirty habit and I don't like it. It should be banned.

I smoke sometimes (less lately, maybe one or two cigarettes a week) but I think there is a time and place for smoking, like at parties and drinking with the “boys”, you know times when you are doing so many other bad things to your body that a smoke wouldn’t matter (one of those nights I could burn thru a pak). Smoking is kind of a social thing, who likes to smoke alone, not to say that I haven’t before but it is always more fun to have a smoke and catch up on some gossip with a buddy than to smoke alone.

I think smoking while eating is disgusting and smoking around kids is shameful (thanks mom and dad).
