as long as they dont have children, yeah.

i have a friend who hates cigarettes but inhaled so much second hand smoke as a kid that i'll be honestly surprised if he doesnt get lung cancer.

Not to mention, it's already illegal to smoke indoors in most public places, the only real issue you can point out anymore is private residences (children being unable to avoid it for example).

FYI its also possible to make your point without trying to sound pretentious with your choice of language. You're using an unnecessary amount of fluff words to try and make yourself look smarter.

i'm pretty sure it does apply to other things. like murder, manslaughter, you know, most of the things where what you do kills another person? those things are illegal.

if there's something that you can think of that is legal to do that allows one person to kill another person i am all ears.

I tell everyone i meet that smokes that its dumb and pointless and guess what? Most of them have quit now.

cool story man !!

like I said, a lot of people start smoking for legitimate reasons. I started smoking in the military because it helped me stay alert on guard duties and because it was really the only way to get decent break times (there's a reason why 1 in 3 american soldiers smoke but only 1 in 5 american civilians smoke). don't forget that nicotine is a stimulant, so a lot of smokers pick the habit up because they're juggling two jobs/full time job and school/etc.

I think it's safe to assume that a lot of us smokers are experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance. I know I am (actively trying to quit)

now quit caffeine

[Snowcrafta]

Caffeine is easy to quit, I've been off of it for months. Whenever I drink an energy drink I just feel weird

[choof]

I go through fucking terrible caffeine withdrawals, I'm trying to cut down on energy drinks though by drinking tea... a ton of it

I'm pretty sure that number comes from an exaggeration of a study that was proven to have lied.

A tiny amount of googling will show you otherwise
