CVS is gonna stop selling cigarettes - Page 2

I'll hate on smokers because their vice gets in the way of other people's lives. If they had a vice that wasn't so harmful to others around them, then maybe I would hate them less. But then again, it's a vice for a reason. Fuck vices.

Don't condone that shit.

50,000 people a year die from second hand smoke. PLENTY of reason to hate on cigarette smokers.

You can pull statistics like this from a lot of places and for a lot of different things. You know how many people die indirectly from alcohol per year? What about the number of people for talking on the phone while driving?

You can't just rely in statistics like this as a basis for your arguments. You have to analyze every area of something and the consequences from it. If cigarettes weren't legal would all of our taxes go up? Cigarettes are extremely highly taxed and the government needs this income to do a lot of very beneficial things.

I only smoke on average 1 cigarette a month btw, but I'm just saying you can't make arguments like that and expect to be taken seriously.

Disagree.

If someone wants to do something stupid, they should be free to do that stupid thing. Even if it can kill them.

They should just only be allowed to be used in private residences or businesses which specifically want to allow them. Like alcohol. I don't know how people think it's appropriate to do that shit out in public like they do.

It's a horrible habit honestly. Can't really say what others should or shouldn't do, i'm just glad i kicked that habit.
Also is it me, or is menthol more addicting? x.x
I started with regular, but it seems as though once i switched to menthol my habit picked up a great deal more. Guess it's just a preference eh?
Honestly though i found it easy to quit, it's not hard,
so give it a try if you've been thinking about it. Then again i guess i can't say much, only smoked for 2 years. I'm sure there's a great deal of you that have been turning your lungs black longer. #Outlaw smoking
Jk, i wouldn't agree with banning it. Although i believe more restrictions should be applied.
You know, to prevent innocent people from dieng. Like, no smoking around angry lions. Shit will piss the lions off and they'll go ham on thousands of innocent civilians.

This is great news. Smoking is a bad habit and I hate most cigarette smokers for getting into it in the first place. The people who bothers me the most though are the ones who are not considerate enough to at least smoke at designated areas or the ones who are too much of a dick to smoke at an area that clearly states "no smoking". You know who you are.

choof · 02-15-2014, 10:23 AM

a lot of people start smoking for legitimate reasons, whether you may think those reasons are legitimate or not

**SKG_Scintill** · 02-15-2014, 10:30 AM

I had a friend who started smoking to prove that stopping was easy.
Well... you fill in the gaps

Drunk driving is completely illegal, while smoking is legal and encouraged. Do you see the problem now?

I started because I was 19 and out of rum for the weekend and nobody was available to buy me more

kinda did..

**Pseudo Enigma** · 02-15-2014, 04:44 PM

I grew up in a house with two smokers. They smoked indoors and never opened a window, and there was almost always one person smoking at any time. This continued for at least 8 years. All my stuff smelled like cigarette smoke. I'm pretty sure it's had a permanent effect on my senses and physicality.

Since my mom quit 6 years ago and I don't live with my dad anymore, I don't have to smell that stuff any more. But when I do it makes me want to puke.

Fuck smokers. If you still smoke today, please stop. You look retarded.

Yupp. And as Pseudo Enigma has pointed out, there should probably be more restrictions about smoking around children, like they are doing in the UK where it will be illegal to smoke in a car with children present.

Point is you can't just base your argument off of statistics. I'm not arguing one way or the other here I'm just pointing out a flawed reasoning.

Tobacco is a huge part of culture for hundreds of years.
