Who Smokes Ciggs?

[SpyWizard]

smoking ban will be voted by the senate here in minnesota probably before the end of may..

total ban, and no smoking in public areas either..

$50 fine, and if the owners don't stop you, they get the fine as well..

3-5 ciggs a month has no effect on test or health. The cells in the lungs need a chance to repair. It's the people that smoke a lot everyday for long periods of time that have big problems. If you continually damage cells and never give them a chance to heal, they mutate.... otherwise known as cancer.

Not all cell mutations are cancerous - Metaplasia can occur to the cells, and isn't cancerous. Even Dysplasia can occur, and still not be carcinoma, but it's the preliminary stages...

i quit 6 months ago. they say ex-smokers are worse. it is true. i can't stand the smell and i don't give a fuck how smoking the chick is, if she got tobacco breath, it aint happening.

i don't understand how people think the chemicals in mary jane are any safer either. they are both carcinogens and your lungs don't give a fuck which one your smoking as far as cancer is concerned.

and why would someone smoke to suppress their appetite? there are other options.

tried a cigg when i was about 15, got major sick to my stomach and never touched em again. been sellin insurance for the past 22+ years and i have noticed a huge reduction in smokers. maine has no smokin laws in public building's, cant even smoke on hospital property inside and out. anyway, used to see at least 50% smokers 5+ years ago and now its less than 10%. my wife smokes, hates it and really wants to quit. She is all for the price increases and no smokin in public laws. very few people are pro smoking and i never hear complaints about the prices and laws. i really wish there was an easy way to quit cause my wifes been smokin for 20+ years and it really worries me. AND my 17 yr old son has managed to get himself addicted. never laid a hand on him but i think it may be time.

Do you mean cigarettes or cigars?

I was going to ask this. I was referring to cigars in my last post.

I'm in the process of trying to quit right now. Just started another cycle and it's the time to let these damn cancer sticks go for good. I have been dipping to take the edge off. Trying to walk away from nicotine cold turkey has me ready to kill everyone I come in contact with.

I do think it's pretty hypocritical to see people post (not just here, but on other threads as well) about the horrors of smoking tobacco, yet go on to praise marijuana. So what's the horror with smoking tobacco? The fact that it's smoking, thus implying smoking anything is harmful, or is it the nicotine, making dip just as bad? Or is it solely the frequency of using one of the aforementioned... but does that really make it "safe"? It's easy to dig up medical research on the harms of cigar smoking as well, but needless to say, all these things have damaging effects on the body, just in different ways. Lots of people seem to be splitting hairs on the boards WRT these items.

Well, answer me this. When is the last time you read or heard or someone dying or getting a terminal illness from smoking marijuana?

Everything we do has side effects... So im not trying to sit up in my ivory tower and say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with smoking weed. However, compare the side effects from smoking weed and smoking tobacco products and you will see a HUGE gap in harmful side effects when comparing the two.

Now tell me this... what are the POSITIVES from smoking ciggs? Can you name any? Cause I can name quite a few benefits related to smoking weed and Im betting you cant find one positive in regards to smoking tobacco products.

I dont want to turn this into a weed vs tobacco thread, but I felt I needed to chime in a little bit on this one.
