Do you smoke

[Gorath]

Smoking is proof of humanity's idiocy.

It smells bad, tastes bad, kills you, kills those around you, makes you poorer, and generally makes you unattractive.

There is no redeeming factor to it. Grow up and quit smoking. We're past the great high school rebellion, guys.

Some tobacco smells amazingly good, weed too.  Some tobacco tastes great, weed too.  Booze kills you too, so does working a real job, stress, most foods.  Also the planet is overpopulated anyways.  Yup, overtaxed bullshit imo.  Attractive is a matter of subjective taste.

To each is own. Don't come in here with your D.A.R.E. holyer than thou attitude, prick. Also in different cultures its a fairly acceptable practice and a lot of the population smokes! Not just your stero typival teenage angtser. So not only are you a prick your a culturally intolerant one at that.

Plus remember, if she smokes, she pokes!

Also that.

smoking is OP, nerf smoking!

I thought cigarettes were too expensive when they were 50 cents a pack! Government kept raising tax on them about every few months and I decided to quit. Thanks to the old $10 ounce of weed , I was able to. But now the War on Drugs made the cost of weed skyrocket and now I smoke cigars or a hookah.
The old Hustler magazine used to show a diseased black lung from a smoker and that first inspired me to quit cigarettes.
A little ancient history for some of you... Lol

While I'm not quite old enough to remember the 50cents a pack days I do remember growing up when I could take a 5, walk in to any store, buy two packs of smokes and a soda and have a few cents change in my pocket.

Now a won't even get a pack of smokes.   

[OoberNoob]

Yea I should probably quit.. again.   Just ran out tonight and wont be able to pick up more till tomorrow.  I've found that coffee is a decent substitute while playing c-rpg but im almost out of that too. I hate being broke

Well, first of all, D.A.R.E. was against drugs, not smoking, or at least as far as I can remember it.

As to it being an "acceptable practice" in "different cultures", that means nothing to me. I've lived in the USA, Mexico, Switzerland, Azerbaijan, Indonesia and Angola. In my opinion, that's a pretty fair cross-section of the cultures this world has to offer. Yes, lots of people all over the world smoke. So what? Slavery is an acceptable practice in some of these cultures. As is marrying and sleeping with what the United States and other first-world countries consider children. It's also "culturally acceptable" to beat and suppress your wife. Am I "intolerant" for disliking these?

The point is, humans choose to engage in idiotic behavior, and the popularity of such activities does not change its idiocy. Smoking is one of those.

Gorath's comment, while true, is proof that we needn't expedite our death through chain-smoking. Find something else to bring about your death.

Edit: And no, I'm not comparing smoking to slavery, so don't put words in my mouth. I'm just saying that some things are stupid despite their popularity. Hence, Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton, and the women's NBA.

Cigarettes are a drug.  Nicotine
Alchohal and coffee are as well technically.  And energy drinks/shots.

[Bull]

Gorath, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're a good little Mormon.

But, whatever. I'm not arguing against energy drinks; I'm arguing against cigarettes. It's a proven killer. Feel free to try to categorically deny the stupidity of ingesting poison by changing the subject. It doesn't make it any less idiotic.

[Tears of Destiny]

I do not smoke, both for health and because I do not enjoy kissing a smoker.

I'm saying you should argue against energy drinks if you're going to argue against cigarettes because it's "ingesting poison".  So is drinking beer, whiskey, a can of monster/red bull/rockstar/bawls/whatever, and so forth.   

I'd be a fail mormon because I smoke cigs, weed on rare occasions when my kiddo is away and I get to have grown up nights, coffee like water (I'm no good without at least my morning 36 ounce quad-shot iced mocha) and so on.  Also, I don't have magic undewear.   

Anyways, simply pointing out that while yes cigarettes are inhaled poisons, humans ingest poisons of all types willingly for the different "highs" they provide all the time.

No. Stupid money dump.

No. Stupid money dump.

Agreed.  Getting to be way to expensive to continue smoking except on special occasions...
Or maybe I should take up pipe smoking and just make it an event with fancy tobaccos... hmmm

[[ptx]]

Haven't smoked a single cigarette in my life and don't plan to.
I do smoke waterpipe tobaccos though.
