"Smoking: Is wrong?"

So many people smoke and you would expect people to learn from the health warnings. obviously its addictive but is it worth runing your life for a cigerrate or smoking drugs?

why is anything that is bad for you created?

where there is demand, people will continue to make them.

smoking dates back thousands of years, all kinds of cultures have enjoyed it with no questions asked. it's only our modern 'mature' (or overly politically correct in my view) society that has made it out to be public enemy number one.

sure it's bad for you, I don't deny that, and I can fully understand none-smokers not wanting to inhale it. But pubs should have separate sections or something, outlawing it entirely is prejudice, and downright hypocritical when they are charging £5 a pack for them, only to say you're not allowed to smoke in public.

Why were cigarettes created if they cause cancer,they make you cough and as a lot of scientists say they put tar on your lungs?!?!?!
I think coffee is disgusting but not fizzy drinks

Scientist say that smoking causes cancer, and science is lead on theories that fit the facts. But, anything could cause cancer as long as it fits the pattern of facts. Taking too many poos, or touching ur mouth on regular intervals could cause cancer!?

To be fair, if you wanna smoke, do it. its a waste of money though. But, if they're someone elses fags, thats no problem :D!

(I dont smoke btw)

Is it wrong? No.

Is it stupid? Yes.
As is drinking alcohol, caffiene and eating fatty foods.

Yes, but I have went on a newbie bashing spree for the past couple of days and I am a bit fed up with getting into arguments and destroying their souls.

Is smoking wrong?
Possibly the most retarded question ever asked.

Does no-one else see this?

What do you mean, is it 'wrong'?

Even so the nicotine might be addictive but its either cancer, lung problems or resisting tempetation.

Nope, Nicotine takes the overall top for most addictive drug. It's just cleverly PR'd so that people don't realize this until it's too late.

Whats the longet time you've spent without having a smoke? When you resume smoking, does it make you feel light headed after the first couple of puffs?

Heroin or some other opiate, surely?


The whole concept of "Occasional Smoking"
> doesn't lead to addicition is tripe.

I've managed it for a couple of years now.
