So looky who's left, 3 smokers who all believe that smoking does not harm their lungs or cause all types of cancer. Sooner or later all smokers quit smoking. Eventually no one will smoke in this country anymore. Just like the practie of foot binding, smoking will be outlawed. Foot binding done for centuries was finally outlawed when the people acknowledged that the risks, pain and disfigurement completely outweighed the benefits and social status perceived by having tiny feet. So smoke em till you can't!

You would comment but you won't? Psst., YOU DID!
Apparently, I am smarter than you because I capitalize "I" AND I use proper spelling and grammar. Dunderhead, I SUGGEST you stop smoking and put that ciggy money into english lessons. I believe you probably missed those classes because you were "smoking in the boys room". I have read this thread and am entitled to my opinion on smoking AND your lack of ed-u-ma-cation. LOL The book, Grammar for Dummies, will set you back about 1/2 a carton. LOL

If you need a book called, "Grammar for Dummies," then I guess that says it all. Have a blessed day.

Foot-binding equals smoking? Go to school and gain what you are unwilling to comprehend. You might do well in elementry school. Actually, I am not so sure of that either.

Smoking is a choice, numb-nuts. Foot-binding was not!

No, foot binding was a choice... Foot binding and creating the "Lily Foot" made the female "fit in". Much like peer presure and why all smokers started in the first place. To be accepted by thier peers.
Please do not even try to tell me that you started smoking because one day you decided that it was the thing you really wanted to do!

Now as far as bebating the smoking issue goes, Doctor Mike, IF you were REALLY a Medical Doctor, or, a person with higher education, then you would NOT being supporting the stupid arguement that smoking does not cause Lung Cancers and diseases. Perhaps YOU are the one that needs to get out of the basement and get a life, some ed-YOU-Cation and probably some exercise...
I am funny, smart and would like to current real factual data which supports smoking and longevity, smoking and low risks of cancers and any other data that truly supports your positive stance on smoking. Please do not give me any of the Amzac pro-smoking crap that is from pro smoking web sites. Also write it as you would a college paper and include a reference page, cited, etc... 1 or 2 paragraphs should be enough!

I started smoking because I was a semi-rebellious teen with parents who were rabid anti smokers. When I first smoked, none of my friends did. Many teens who are now like I was then will start smoking precisely because anti smokers detest it. It has been that way since the beginning of time. Check it out
Teenage rebellion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
As part of their development into young adults, humans must develop an identity independent from their parents or family and a capacity for independent decision-making. They may experiment with different roles, behaviours and ideologies as part of their process of developing an identity. Teenage rebellion has been recognised within psychology as a set of behavioural traits that supersede class, culture, or race.

[edit] Naturalness of teenage rebellion
There remains some debate as to whether the causes of teenage rebellion are completely natural or necessary. Some posit that an adolescent's failure to achieve a sense of identity can result in role confusion and an inability to choose a vocation, and these pressures may cause teenage rebellion. Others have faulted teenage rebellion as a product of a failure in parenting, or of contradictory social guidance in the media. Supporters of the youth rights movement often suggest that teen rebellion is a uniquely Western phenomenon that results from a society which views teenagers as less than adult and thus unjustly restricts their freedom in the name of their own good, causing them to rebel as a way to break free of these restrictions. This is in contrast to more primitive societies, where teenagers are often viewed as adults. Indeed, in the Western world the age at which one is considered an adult (in both the cultural and legal sense) has advanced from the early teens in earlier centuries to the late teens and even early twenties in today's society.

That is a concept the antis just don't get, the more they demonize smoking the more attractive they make it. They try to blame things like the movies but in actuality they are their own worst enemies!

Go study foot-binding history before putting your foot in your mouth. No, really!

They need to study alot more then foot binding,
If they did any research their argument would be more debatable. Smoking and SHS "can" cause cancer
(can as is maybe, might.) no one can argue that point. There is more dangerous toxins in the "clean, smoke free" air we breath in everyday then in the SHS one may be exposed too.
But as long as no one smokes around them they think their chance of getting cancer, heart dicease etc: is very small.

Teens aren't interested in a movie if it isn't "R" rated. Don't even mention a banned movie or book LOL.

Wait I have one. Smoking compared to non smokers car wrecks. I can see the correlation and similarities, cant you ?

Wake up and smell the coffee people, this has NOTHING to do with your health and EVERYTHING to do with revenue. The only reason why the FDA is regulating tobacco now is so they can block cigarettes from being IMPORTED from other country via internet sales and smuggling.
This is nothing more then to ensure that the American smoker will be forced to pay $10.00 a pack for cigarettes.

u have that right!!!!!
