I am a smoker, and I wish they would get rid of all the cigarrettes. I wake up each morning wheezing. It is killing me slowly and I hate it. I have tried the patches and gum bla bla bla and it does not work. I wish scientists would make something like the noraplant(it's a birth control device that is inserted in the arm for five years that releases a chemical)to where if we smoked we would start vomiting or something. I think they should make one for drug users and alcholics as well. I know that would help people out greatly, because I think alot of people are imbarrassed of thier addictions and would rather not have them. I definately think if they didn't have thier addictions they would save alot of money.

I saw that report on the news this morning about the images being applied to cig packages. I don't think the majority of smokers will pay them any attention.
I have asthma and a severe allergy to cig smoke. As a non-smoker I could care less how much you smoke. I just do not want to breath it in stores or restaurants. I also do not appreciate it when you stand right beside the entry ways smoking so that I am forced to walk through it to get inside. Are you so addicted you cannot wait to get to your car to light up?

I wonder why (since smoking is soooo awful) the government doesn't just have prohabition. Don't allow the companies to make them. Obama is changing everything else, why not.

I seen on the news that the government is now going to put pics of cancer, death, and other things on cig packs to try to get people to quit. Why wont they just leave us alone? They are making money and it is going to cost more to put stupid things on the packs and it will not do any good. Come on they raise the prices and we still do it what will a picture make any difference. It is our rights to smoke if we want to smoke we will smoke there are no laws saying dont smoke. Why do they not put pictures on beer and stuff showing what it is doing to their liver and stomach? Why do they not put pics on pill bottles to show the damage all that stuff is doing? This government is messed up and we have to deal with it. Like marajuana, no one had od from that and they wont make it legal,but you have had people to get poisioned from whiskey and what not, and they have died, and as for the pill situation we all know tha, so LEAVE US ALONE IF WE WANT TO SMOKE whether it be cigs or pot. At least the pot is all natural it comes from the earth. If they would stop putting chemicals in tobacco, it would be natural also there have been people that have smoked for years and never died til they were 100. So give it a rest.
