Okay Dustin, let me explain to you why I don't like smoking.
I don't hate smokers.
I dislike smoking because it is HARMFUL. Smoking is dangerous.
Tobacco in a cigarette has more than 400 toxic substances and 4,000 chemical compounds.
Smoking kills 144,000 people in the UK a year. Imagine how many people in all the other parts of the world die from smoking.
Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, COPD, etc. etc. are caused by smoking.
Second-hand smoke is more dangerous than first-hand.
I have a problem with smoking because MY health is being put at risk.
And look at it. If smoking effects adults that badly, imagine what kind of damage that it is doing to a baby.

Okay? Do you understand? I'm not a Nazi. I would like to keep my health.
No, smoking might not effect you negatively. You might be lucky. There are people who are. I know a man who is 80 and he has smoked 60 years and is fine.
On the other hand, I know at least 10 to 15 people who have bad effects from smoking. |
huh uh sure........ if smoking was so bad for ya then we'd all be dead by now since its been around for what 18,000 years ? anyways im done with any smoking thread on here...
