I support smoking bans in public places, but an overall ban would be absurd.

Same.

Would there be any effects to a tobacco supplier losing money?

If there was an overall smoking ban, many gas stations in predominately African-American areas would close due to lack of Newport cigarette revenue.

It's funny because you actually thought you could convince someone to quit smoking. Rofl.
Everyone knows the risks yea but not everyone knows the benefits of giving up in such detail. This is interesting to some. I already knew this but when I gave up smoking 7 months ago this was something that involved and interested me. Oh and when did he state this was a bomb proof plan that this would make people give up smoking.

I'm sure people see cigarettes on the floor all the time. What does that tell you about the cleanliness of our environment? If smokers found a way or alternative to not harm others and the environment with their smoke, then I would not care at all.
I agree with you there mate.

Or not smoke around people who don't like it? Your addiction shouldn't be our problem but your making it that way. We couldn't give a flying **** what you want to do mate but then you bring us into it.

Although I question how I was spamming, I was basically discussing the posting of [atleast what I thought were] bad threads with him.

Well, firstly this isn't a bad thread. Two or three people have found this topic chit chatable. So your argument (or a pursuit of one) has no grounds, or are you just trolling or looking for an argument? This is why I find no meaning in your posts at all (unless they are the above stated) thus making them spam.

Secondly, I will not derail this thread with you.

On topic: Anyone who would like to give up smoking I will say this,

When I tried to give up I was on and off all the time. Saying "I will cut down blah blah blah" but in the end I found going cold turkey is the best. You'd be Surprised. It's the first hurdle, it seems so hard but once you get over that one, it just get easier!

All I saw were people making a joke out of the thread or criticizing it. And I still don't see how you think I'm posting with no intent behind it other than my own pleasure or humor.

Why bother educating yourself on anything if people can just tell you want to think and how to act? GG.

GG indeed.

Smoking = Masturbation (From a Christians perspective)

What I mean is, they are both harmful to yourself, and possibly others.

Once again, I am a Christian and do think masturbating is wrong.
