Cigarettes Smoke is Banned!!

[asia]

I attended a presentation about smoking given by a guest speaker. I've never smoked in my life, and also my best friends do not smoke because non-smokers feel uncomfortable if they're with smokers. So, many non-smokers became friends with other non-smokers.
In fact, smoking is really unhealthy. I learned that there are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes, such as thinners, cadmium, and of course, nicotine. These chemicals are not good for our bodies. They are poisonous and cause cancer and other diseases.
Also there are many chemicals in smoke, which comes from cigarettes. This smoke has more chemicals than smokers take in their body. It's called "second-hand smoke" and it is more dangerous and has higher risks. I also learned some facts of percentages of death by smoking. Approximately 6,000 smokers die every year in British Columbia, Canada. In other words, one of three smokers dies by lung cancer or other diseases. Smoking has the highest percentage of deaths compared to other addictive drugs and alcohol.
In my opinion, smokers should quit smoking as soon as possible. There are no good points to smoking. There are only risks of death and it's also too expensive to buy cigarettes. I learned many things about smoking, and there're all terrible facts. I want to urge smokers to "butt out!"

[Vagamefreak]

.....DUH!!! Why do you think people who smoke are the number one death toll....

It's frankly self explanitary... but... congrats on finding out all that info..

[[stick-jây-tee]]

"butt out!"
Very clever, I wonder if you wrote that yourself.... :rolledeye

[~Felly~]

Yeah. I seem to be learning about that in my health class right now. Or was it another class. Whatever. Anyway, nice info...

I always thought that heart disease was the no.1 killer
And yeah ciggarettes are bad just like any other drug.

hmm, you dont say!

people of whom are smoking are doing it willingly.. its not often you have a ciggarette shoved down your throat and be demanded to breath in the smoke. and indeed.. quite the indeed, second-hand smoke is poisonous, but so is breathing in any other kind of smoke really. just, do what i do and hold your breath or breath out slowly when you go past someone who is smoking.. dont puff your cheeks out though.. youll look like a fool.
but you can, however, use your sence and just try as much as you can to not breath the smoke in if you really must. the laws are weird.. i mean, here (well not here.. i think.. cant remember.. but at home) its illegal for persons under the age of eighteen to buy ciggarettes or whatever, however, it is perfectly fine for kids to be given these ciggarettes and have them smoking the damn things in clear public view.

if you want to have people stop smoking for sure; become king/queen of brittan and order that anyone caught smoking will be sentanced to decapitation.

i wish you good luck on that

you cant change what peoples what to do though unless they are under some kind of hypnotizeation or something to the effect.. brain washed or whatever. but people are addicted to the stuff; from what ive heard, its damn hard to get yourself off the stuff. so people arent going to just follow orders from a post on a random gaming message board.

=/

meh

I agree! If people want to smoke and die, let them smoke and die. remember, it is up to them, so it is their problem and is none of your concern! Sure, you may be able to suggest that they should stop, but it is still their decision.

Thanks,

I just learned about it too in my Biology class. Even if you smoke once, only ONCE, in the future you are more likley to get cancer & if you enhale the smoke someone is giving off (2nd Hand smoke), your chances of getting cancer are even higher then the person smoking it!

[[stick-jây-tee]]

If you eat chocolate you're more likely to get cancer too...

[Some1]

^LoL Then hopefully I wont get cancer by eating it to much.

I always thought that heart disease was the no.1 killer

#1 killer for teenagers [could just be america] is wrecks, like cars and stuff

[DeFJaM]

HRBEK.

[MORSN417]

[Nanaki]

I'm glad they brought in the ban over here on smoking in the work place

Don't, that was probably my first post in this thread that wasn't.

[Nanaki]

sarcasm tags would come in handy

[[stick-jây-tee]]

I'll keep that in mind.
:)

[MORSN417]

[[stick-jây-tee]]

Yeah, that last post was sarcasm too....

[TK 421]

Wow your so smart! i cant believe how bright and sparkiling your mind works! good job :D

[[stick-jây-tee]]

You'll never guess what I bought the other day... :rolledeye



Oh yeah, and guess what. You were the first to actually insult someone. I just gave my opinion in a smart ass way. Way to be, now how about growing up because no one wants to read people fighting on a forum. ;)

[HRBEK]

Yes they do, lol. By the way, I know a few people in my year who smoke....... Meh, they are all losers anyway. They can't blame the cigarettes for that, lol.

Thanks,
HRBEK.

Smoking is rotton. I'm not ever going to start. In our school, we have to make a pledge to God to not smoke or drink or take drugs till we're 16/18/21/for your life. We take it when we're 12

[MORSN417]

^ i dont see wat that does..........peolpe will break that promise at my school all the time

[Dead Or Alive]

Ya, well I'm keeping it till 16. Drinking is going to be hard to keep..

[Nanaki]

^ we could make that pledge if we wantd to in 6th class when we made our confirmation.
lol I'm in 3rd year now...wow I'm old
I took it till 16 but I've broken it several times already..16 this summer anyway

[Dead Or Alive]

I'm definately not going to make it. Pity ya can't take it till 15

[[stick-jây-tee]]

In our school, we have to make a pledge to God to not smoke or drink or take drugs till we're 16/18/21/for your life. We take it when we're 12
Is this for a club? There was something like that for a club at my middle school back in the day, but I've never heard of a school wide one. It's kind of dumb considering it's illegal untill 18 and 21... then for life with drugs.

[Dead Or Alive]

No, i mean we can pick when we don't have one of them 3 things. You can take it till your 16, 18, 21 or if you want never, but I took it till 16, I doubht I'll make it. Mybe till 15

[banzaii.03]

whats this thread about anyway?? we can now take tha piss outa smokers and moan about how they should just give up....well many started smoking when they didnt realise it was bad for them or just out of mistake. Granted most are stupid to take it up but you dont seem to realise once you start its a physical addiction.

Many MANY people try to give up smoking and could be doin better without jerks not sayin that at least theyre tryin to give up...but just slatin' them.

Sure its stupid thing to do...but i doubt that everyone on this forum is the "picture of health". You dont see me ****gin some of you off for maybe eating unhealthily or what have you cos *gosh darnit* that will make you ill and possibly kill you too!

In summary...smoking is bad dont do it :P :P :P

Thanking ye :D
