Second Hand Smoke

[Sir_Thomas]

Yes. But in order to get rid of the problem with automobiles you would have to get rid of fossil fuels altogether (Unless another method arises.) and yes, we could say the same thing for cars. We didnt know what the gas would do to the atmosphere before it became so highly used.

Like you said. Cars can be argued as vital... but the two are
almost on a completely different level. We use fossil fuels for multiple
things, things that can be considered even MORE vital than cars.

While smoke may have a pleasurable feeling to you, it does not only hurt others, it hurts you to. When you smoke, you are smoking for yourself, and only YOU are gettomg the "benefits" of smoking the cigarette.

For many, when fossil fuels are being burned, they are benefiting more than one person. While personal vehicles may only benefit you; the bus, boats, factories, etc... they at least benefit people.

With fossil fuels, it is more of a medium... With smoking you really do only have cigarettes, cigarettes, and well... cigarettes... which, once again, benefits only the smoke (While hurting anyone around it.).

Yes, some people, like homeless Idonesians, Africans, etc. not reap the benefits of what fossil fuels do for us... but like I said before, when it comes to ciggaretes you see no shared benefit.

Maybe if Ciggaretes smoking can power a single building ok. Then it would be more understandable... but it cant be. Not only that, unlike cars, cigarettes are also a more controllable harmful substance.

You can always smoke your cigarettes at home (Even though if you have kids, I dont agree with that either), but you cant necessarily drive your automobile there.


I was going to mention this as my original first post, but thought this was more bantering on how this thread could most likely end but... Yes. There are TONS of things that harm us. We can go on for 100 pages on a dozen things we should get rid, but in general, smoking is probably up there with one of the most nonsensical, anti productive, harmful habits that exists, up there with drugs and alcohol.

Wow Carbo. No...
Youre rights are void if what you are doing infringes on multiple peoples rights.
That one is common sense, and common legislation.
