Smoking ban?
Answer:
Because people love something to whinge about. live and let live I say. If you banned fat people from eating there would be uproar and thats bad for their health.
I am sick of being told what to do. I wanted to quit but now wont out of principal...
Busses kill less than smoking does in all though.
If one person gets hit with a bus doesn't mean another person will be hit by the exact same bus. Where as smoking it can pass through others peoples lung and could start the second hand smoke chain where others can get cancer.
Maybe its because they can't find what truly causes cancer so its easier to blame it on something that only half the world are doing or have been doing since the beginning of time.
I am a non smoker myself but all these rules seem a bit extrema.
Walk into any old folks home and shout hands up smokers!
I rest my case!
I'm not a doctor (at least not full time ;-o) but I'm not really convinced you can get cancer from falling off a deckchair.
Hi I guess you are a smoker and you know exactly why people say smoking kills and you just use other excuses to shy away from the truth no smoker listens to the facts. They just also blame everything else. Its not just the fack that smoking causes cancer its the other thing it causes.
There is no point in anyone one here telling you the causes and how it effects the human body and other people around you as you just wont care and wont listen.
But all I will say is we you dont see everyone sat behind a back of a bus most of the day inhaling the fumes that come out of the exhaust. That goes into the atmospher and smoke actually goes into the body and into the vital organs,
I dare you too quit somking for a week and see how much better you will feel. No morning cough and your chest will be clearer etc you think how breath now is normal well just wait till you stop somking for a week then see how you feel. Apart from the mood swings and the being horribble and moody to people you will feel 100% better.
Riding in a car doesn't kill people, but if you are in a car, your RISK of dying in a crash certainly goes up more than if you never got in a car...right? Similarly, you need to understand that smoking ITSELF does not kill...it increases your RISK of dying from particular illnesses, i.e., a variety of cancers, heart disease, emphysema, etc.
Just like you may go your whole life riding/driving a car and never get in an accident that could dramatically hurt...or even kill...you, you can go your entire life smoking and never be seriously ill or die from the consequences of the act. BUT your chances of getting seriously ill and even dying from the consequences of smoking go up DRAMATICALLY.
And while you can argue that the risks of being in a automobile accident are worth taking because of the advantages of being able to drive anywhere, it really is hard to make that argument about smoking.
Because smoking is pointless, and harmful. Why don't you spend your money on something more useful like good food? I smoked cigarettes for almost 5 years and haven't had one in almost 2 years and don't crave them one bit, they actually disgust me now.
I'm a smoker, but the reason people highlight that smoking kills is due the high rate of people it DOES kill every year. Yes, people die through lots of reasons - none more so than smoking though.
Its not OK for us smokers to pass on our second hand smoke, yet they have now stuck us outside to pass it on to every passer by instead of giving us a seperate smokers room, and oh look, its absolutely fine for drivers to pass on there exhaust fumes to us non drivers!
Talk about double standards, but then of course we couldn't have the politicians walking anywhere now could we :)
I say vehicle exhaust fumes have a say in cancer, not only smoking (personaly I think the whole smoking causes cancer thing is bullshit, seeing as how people never exposed to smoke still get cancer)
My great grandfather was also a 40 a day smoker, died at the ripe old age of 97 (of course they put on the death cert. cancer as the cause lol)
because more people die of cancer form smoking or from breathing in other peoples smoke than by buses!! my great aunt died of smoking. she had lung cancer and was developing throat cancer but it was bone cancer that killed her. her last wish was to come and visit us because she said that when she came down for my mum and dads wedding it was the best time of her life. she never got to. i never met her. i promised myself i did not want to end up like her. i think the smoking ban may be a little extreme, but i wouldnt want anyone to die like her. i want them to live their life as they want. i want my children to be able to do want they want in life and acheive what they wish.
