[QUOTE="Khaos, post: 79154, member: 2880"] Wasn't that also when the united states army encouraged cigarette smoking? They even endorsed several cigarette companies too. Then when the health effects started coming to light more and more, they have now discouraged it. Funny how things change. I hardly smoke in public anymore and if I do, I do it away from people. I forbid myself to smoke around children as well. And I actually get upset when I see people smoke around kids. Saw this lady and guy smoking cigarettes in a car with the windows rolled up with two kids in the backseat once. Jesus, have some respect and courtesy for your kids health. Then you got my boyfriend who keeps force-feeding me those damn e-cigs. I don't feel like they work. He thinks they do, maybe that is what they are, a placebo. And yes, he smokes himself, but he's been using the e-cigs more often lately. Its funny too, I'm all for bans on smoking in public places. I remember back when I was a kid, before I took up smoking and would be trying to eat food and some doofus is blowing their smoke near me. I remember the disgusting smell and taste of the cigarette smoke. So I can feel for those who don't smoke and want to have a decent meal in a restaurant without breathing someone else's lung cancer. I'm not the type of guy who flips the bird off to non smokers, but if you get nasty with me about smoking, I'll get nasty right back. But I'll respect your decision and health, nobody is forcing you to start smoking. I'm 27 and have been smoking since I was 16. I'm already starting to feel the health effects and I regret them. Its just so damn addicting. Hard to quit. I've heard of them doing the same here in the states, but I have yet to see the pictures of diseased mouths and dead lungs on operating tables. Thing about those images are, they claim they are showing the effects of smoking, in reality, the effects can be influenced by the person's overall health. Its like any disease really. If someone has a weaker immune system, like young children and the elderly, they are more prone to dying from the common cold, than us adults. Because our immune systems are top notch, built to last for several more decades before they start to degrade. Yes smoking has health effects, but I do wonder what is the person's overall health at the time? What are their other lifestyle habits that could have caused other problems? My dad has smoked cigarettes since he was 12 and he's 53 now. He has all his teeth. Yet those pictures show people who smoke are toothless? See, my point. Its like those "studies" that claim soda causes weight gain. I drink a lot of soda daily. I currently weigh 136lbs from my last doctor's appointment. I've been drinking soda since I was probably eight years old. Those studies fail to take into account the person's other eating habits and lifestyle choices. [/QUOTE]
