This isn't another "omgay, smokin is bad 4 u!!!" but more of a question to anyone here who smokes - is it just the cardboard chemical crap from the UK/US companies or more rarer exotic stuff like Giantes? Not a smoker myself but I'd like to know.

People are quite welcome to smoke, if they choose to.

Yet I hate waking up the morning after a night out, to find my hair, pillow, clothes and generally my whole room stink of smoke, when I didn't touch a ciggy all night.

So I guess those two points of view make my a hypocrite.

Waits for some to say "It's your choice to go out, you don't have to...."

Cars are by no means a necessity.

Cars are a convenience, not a necessity

Not when you're making billions from oil and road tax it isn't

I would think moreso, cars do more damage to the environment but health-wise it's questionable as the pollutants are going into the air not into your face.
I'm very anti-smoking and as much as it upsets some people i really couldn't care less, if it's made illegal in public places i'm all for it as it's blatant hypocrisy to have cannabis illegal on health grounds while smoking isn't.

It's not an equal argument though. Cars are pretty much a necessity today whereas smoking isn't at all. It's not really feasible to try and stop people driving, and I doubt the pollutants from a car will be as harmful as the rubbish that comes out of a fag.

I believe you actually did that.

But that's still the most funny thing you've ever posted.

When I was four I picked up one of my dads ciggys lit it and stuck it the wrong way in my mouth. I've given up now.

As long as people dont blow their smoke in my face I'm fine with it, it's their choice and all that. But I won't smoke, tried it a while ago and hated it.
Yet lots of people in my year (10) seem to think its really cool to smoke, when no-one apart from smokers, seems to think it is.
Meh well
