Retroperspective

I see this everywhere I live. Young people my age and younger just puffing away ignorant to the fact that they are going to ruin their lives. I see a good looking guy or girl on the street and think ‘ wow their hot”, then they pull up a cigarette and I just totally wipe them from my mind. Looks are important to me but so is intellegence and no one who is intellegent enough smokes. It’s just common sense

Smoking is for idiots holding on to the childish mentality that they can’t be told what to do.
Anyway, enjoy this photo of him because in a few years he will have horrible teeth, smelly hair and cloths and thin pallid skin from sucking cigarettes for so long. What a waste of a cute guy

I haven’t broached a moral subject in any thread but this one.
Quite frankly, I don’t give a shit whether you keep smoking and die a long painful death( which you will).
Do everyone a favour and when the time comes after you’ve had a heart attack, aneurism, stroke or lung cancer, keep walking past the hospital so the donor organ and our taxpayer dollars aren’t wasted on a moron who feels the need to shove his stupid addiction in our faces. You want to talk morals, well I’m on the highground whether either of us likes it or not. Smoke yourseld into oblivion for all I care but don’t ever wish that sort of life for someone that young. As an adult, you should be responsible enough to be telling poeple to avoid it, not use it.

You are the perfect example of the smoker with the childish mentality of ” Wah wah wah you can’t tell me what to do Wah wah wah” Grow up you pathetic excuse for a human.

And to the other poster, yes I think intelligence plays a part in it. Anyone with half a brain know it’s bad for them and will avoid it. It isn’t rocket science.

I’m glad there’s another person here with common sense. Don’t worry about riling up the addicts, if the last guy was anything to go by, you will be called every insult in the book and be told to “go away” in less favourable language regardless of what you say. They are very shallow minded.

No, BOYS do not. The fact that about 90% of people here are over 18( though I consider anyone under 30 still a “boy”) means that the majority are adults who have experianced decades of life to know better.

As for Oprah and the like, I think people like that are idiots who follow what the latest “expert” for whatever advice gets them attention. You honestly think the scientific evidence is a lie? If you don’t,you are either incredibly ignorant for not knowing. That, or the fact that you DO know and still actively encourage it makes you a disgusting excuse for a human. Like the other guy, do us all a favour and keep walking past the hospital when the time comes for the inevitable visit.

It’s human nature to want to survive and it is common sense not to do something that affects it.

It’s funny how when more of us start talk anti-smoking, all the smokers suddenly dissappear from the discussion.

To Sajhak

Well you’re clearly amongst the sheep that need an “expert” to tell them whats good or not. Fact is you don’t need to be a doctor or a scientist to see the ill effects and to have a pretty well informed opinion about smoking. 99% of the fact about smoking are known to the general public and if you don’t know then you either live under a rock or purposly continue your ignorance because, like so many others, you childishly refuse to be told
