Does smoking help the process of Global warming?

Question

I don't smoke and never will. I can't stan seeing people smoke, so..

Answer 1

Smoking causes the growing of vast fields of tobacco that consume carbon dioxide as they grow. Some part of that plant gets converted back to carbon dioxide when the cigarette is burned but less than the total that was removed because the whole plant is not burned (just the leaves). Of course the gas for the farm tractor, energy for the factory and gas for the trucks to ship the cigs across the country probably release more CO2 per cigarrette than the cig itself. The other impact is to shorten life spans which reduces population which leads to less need for energy and less greenhouse gas emission.

Answer 2

If you mean contributing by saying helping, then yes. Just like a car does, smoking makles the "global warming" problem worse, just on a smaller scale.

Answer 3

All other things being equal, if it makes people die earlier then it will reduce emissions per human lifetime.

Tobacco, hemp & paper are all plant-sourced so the burning of cigarettes is greenhouse neutral.

Answer 4

smoking crack might make you believe Al Gore on the topic of global warming

Answer 5

I'd be more worried about what it does to your personal health.
If you worry about what it does to that, and you quit because of that, then you don't have to worry about whether or not it facilitates global warming.

Answer 6

It doesn't have a big impact, while the factories that produce cigarettes make a lot of pollution in the air.

Answer 7

It does affect the ozone layer, a single cigarette is more powerful than burning a gallon of diesel gasoline

Answer 8

I heard Al Gore is starting a new campaign to outlaw 'hot women".to prevent global warming..HAHAHA.

Answer 9

Last time I checked it was just bad for your health.

Answer 10

yes - about as much as farting
