i do smoke cigg's and do it because i enjoy the smooth menthol and im dying anyway why not enjoy MY life

Answer 1

We're all killing ourselves at our own rate. The fact that we know these things are unhealthy, yet continue to do them, I think says something about the state our society is in right now.

Smoking cigarettes, drinking to excess, eating fast food, living in polluted areas, abusing drugs, not exercising, these are all choices people make that will shorten their lives. If your gonna get on people for smoking, take the burger out of your mouth, jump on a treadmill, stop the 'harmless' vicodin addiction because your no better.

Answer 2

Show me your source for the statement "coffee has 46 KNOWN cancer causing ingredients."

This article from the magazine Better Nutrition says"

"Scientists have identified 1,000 different chemicals in a cup of coffee. But how many of the 1,000 chemicals have been tested in animal cancer studies? Only 22--leaving 978 compounds in your morning java about which we know very little. And of those 22 that were tested, were any found to be carcinogens, or cancer-causing compounds? Seventeen of the 22 are, in fact, carcinogens."

The article goes on to say:
"moderate coffee consumption is not considered a risk factor for cancer. And coffee is linked to the following benefits: It boosts endurance by delaying fatigue; it improves long-term memory; it may help prevent kidney stones; it relaxes lung spasms during an asthma episode; and, as you may have discovered, it stimulates your gastrointestinal tract."

It's the fashionable thing these days to rag on smokers, so some people think it is best to get on the bandwagon and join in with dissing them.

That said though it is VERY harmful. I think if family and close friends are concerned about you smoking, they definitely have a legitimate concern for your health. If they love you they don't want to see you dying of lung disease and in a practical sense, they'll probably be involved with caring for you if you become ill.

ALSO if you're overeating, drinking coffee etc yes you're killing yourself, but you're not affecting my health if you're doing it in my presence. So if someone decides to light up where I am, it can affect me and yes I think I should say something about it.

Answer 4

I do not smoke nor do I drink coffee.
You can eat your self to death that will not affect anyone else.
BUT your smoking AKA second hand smoke will kill other people.
So go into an air tight box and smoke yourself to death and we can bury box, you, smoke and all in the ground.

If you eat it keep it to your self if you smoke it do the same.

Answer 5

smokers are smelly. i never realized just how stinky until I quit and was around smokers. It's nasty. But I'd take it over chewing tobacco any day. Smelling like an ashtray sin't nearly as gross as carrying around a bottle of your own spit that looks like poo, having rottne teeth and possibly having to have a chunk of your own butt grafted into your mouth when you get lip cancer. now have a nice lunch!!

Answer 6

Ciggs are bad all around but I don't go on lectures about it.. If you want to smoke sure go ahead just don't do it around me. My lungs want only Fresh Air!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Whatever about smoking. Go enjoy your pack of **** Myself Ups.

Answer 8

people arent over reacting. second hand smoke is one of the leading causes of cancer, and death...yes i agree that alot of foods are bad for you too, but they arent the LEADING cause of cancer and death.

Answer 9

the tar on the street, and the tar on your roof is the same tar going into your lungs.
have fun
