Should smoking and overeating be illegal to keep people from killing themselves? And a smoker and an overeater

Question

are sickening to watch, so shouldn't the public be protected from the agony of having to see them in action?

Answer 1

I smoke and I don't over eat.
I don't even eat all that much.
I was a heavy smoker before
but now I'm only on 4 milligrammes.
I have noticed the difference I don't
have smokers cough anymore.

Answer 2

First this question doesn't belong in this section. And second i just love how some people figure that someone can simply make a law to deal with anything they find unpleasant. So I'd like to make a law as well.
Let it here by be known that anyone who attempts to create or passes a law. The restricts or otherwise prevents any member of the human race. The right to live their lives the way they wish. To be sentenced to spend the rest of their natural lives in total and complete isolation. Where they Will have no contact with another living being or contact with the outside world.
Now thats a law i can live with people might finally learn. That you can't legislate another persons life into a corner and have total control over them .

Answer 3

Right. Because so many of the world's problems lie in those who smoke or overeat. Our Utopia is nearly within reach, and these are the last remaining issues to deal with.

PS
Leftwinger? In what country? I lean to the left, which is exactly why I don't want the govt to control me.

Answer 4

Even if it was illegal people would still get it like they do drugs. but ya I do wish cigarettes was, not because I think people are sickening to watch but because of there health and a waste of money.

Answer 5

P*ss off! Just who the hell do you [and the government for that matter] think you are? All people have habits that irritate and disgusts other people. Don't look if it bothers you. I'd rather die than have all my freedoms of choice taken away under the pretext of "protecting me from myself".
One of these days we'll all be living in police states with dictatorships at the helm while we still believe we have freedom due to their brainwashing. And people like you just make it worse...

Answer 6

Absolutely not. People should be able to kill themselves any way they want. They should take a hit on health insurance, but otherwise, eat and smoke away. Besides, where do you actually have to watch smokers anymore?

Answer 7

Just make living illegal and be done with it.It sickens me to watch tofu and bean sprout eating,non smoking,jog 10 miles a day people,knowing they are going to die anyway

Answer 8

As far as the smoking it should be illegal in public places because second had smoke is a danger to others. As far as looking at over weight people eat and it being sickening to watch "Don't look!"
Pray for them!

Answer 9

Well, if you are a leftwinger, this is the direction you are going.
Supposedly the party of freedom.
Yeah, right.
So much for individual rights.

Who raised the cigarette taxes? Who prevented privately owned restaurants from allowing smoking? Who forces the fast-food restaurants to serve healthier menus? Who wants socialized health care?
The left-wingers.
No propaganda. Just facts that you can look up yourself.

Answer 10

this isn't the NWO yet. keep your peace until you
don't have the choice.

not all people whom are fat have the choice. they have
medical problems that cause obesity. assuming that
an over-weight persons wants to be that way is very
narrow minded. smokers however do have a choice;
its their body and They are responsible for their
own actions. as we all are.
