smoking outdoor in a well venilated area would not be a problem to me, it only bothers me in enclosed areas.

countrygirl62: Yes, I am afraid, it is true, the smoke makes other people sick, so be considerate.

I went out to a smoking bar, and came home so sick. I have asthma, any smoke, be it from a camp fire, or cigarettes makes me terribly ill. I could not breath, I was gasping for air, It is an awful feeling, I cannot take the smoke. I can wash my hair and still smell the smoke in my hair. It is gross.

I used to be a smoker, until I got pneumonia, and had to be hospitalized. Now I have sensitive lungs.

Oh, yeah, my Dad died in April 2008 of lung cancer, I was with him when he died. It was a terrible death. He was a smoker, who said that he quit everyday.



I do not want to say that smoking is healthy, because it is not. You may have a issue with dust mites. Dust mites can cause asthma or the asthma like symptoms that will be quantified by second hand smoke.


My brothers son died around aprill, he was eighteen months old , probably did not smoke.

What? do you want to live forever?


They say that smoking takes ten years off ones life, but those are the years at the end when you are wearing diapers and someone is pushing you around in a wheele chair.

rolling on the floor laughing God forbid!

Actually I've done that before. Not the diaper part but being pushed around in a wheel chair, no fun. I figure I'll get a souped up motorized chair when I get that old and terrorize the neighborhood! No use letting the teenagers have all the fun! giggle

Oh, and then I can strap my oxygen tanks on the back too! thumbs up

My brother in law used to work at a electric wheele chair factory and they got an order for one that would do thirdy five miles per hour. Well they made it and somewhere there is a eight hundred year old doing thirdy five in their chair..(well they may be a bit younger, but just as dangerous)

metalartist989: I'm sure one or two of you has been waiting for me to say something about this... so here goes

Smoking cigarettes does not CAUSE Cancer. ..Yes it's harmful to your health.. but it doesn't CAUSE cancer. What it does is "set the stage" for cancer causing agents to do their thing. It creates the proper conditions for cancer cells to develop. However, it doesn't CAUSE cancer.

As far as non-smokers whining about this and that blah blah blah.. more people are killed each year by drunk drivers than cigarettes.. ..ban alcohol! wheee!! let's see what happens then.

You can't just go around with this fascist mentality that if YOU don't like something then it MUST BE BANNED.
Personally.. I smoke cigarettes. ...but I also have a bit of class, so I don't smoke inside my own home, I don't smoke in other people's homes that don't smoke inside.. ...and I sure as hell don't smoke around little kids. I hate it when someone is smoking while I'm eating. And if you're gonna smoke in the car.. roll the goddamn windows down.

lorax111: I allways hate hearing someone say that 'the doctor would know'. We put too much trust into that statement, but that is another topic all in its own.

Fine,she died from second hand smoke, I certainly did not imply that smoke was good for a person but simply suggested that we need to think about what else we are breathing also. I'm not trying to be argumentive but just suggesting that we see with our eyes open.Dennis ( Your friend died , I am sorry to hear that. but the living need to be consious of what they are breathing)

You know what i hate smokers not caring about non-smokers...

I used to Smoke and know what it can do...

I am healthy becos of the Doctor...blah blah blah..

I forgot you hate hearing thatdoh

Why dont all you smokers go get ur lungs checked out...

Go see some x-rays of smokers...

Then come back and tell us that it dont cause cancer or it dont kill...

We all know that there are alot of things that kills us...

but i see on here as much as smokers putting down non-smokers...

DOUBLE STANDARD

I used to smoke..people telling me i have a smokers cough..when of course i denyed it...

but now i know different...

When and if you do quit you will look back and see what we are talking about...

If we want to curse smokers LET US

If you want to curse non-smokers so be it....

We all have opinions...

Does it bring on early heart problems???? Emphazima, asthma or other problems besides being a major cause for lung damage, and cancerous cells...... that can mestasize in to cancer?


I smoked 5 to 8 cigarettes per day and still had a near fatal heart attack. I ate healthy and exercised... but still smoked even if the Dr could not believe that smoking that small amount .... put me in the category as a heavier smoker.

Yes that is true..it can cause what you said asthma...lung problems...heart probles..Either way its due to cigarettes

I had an aunt that was young and was told she better quit..and she just said in due time...

and was on her death bed and was crying and wishing she had listen to the doctor...

She Died..becos of the smokingblues
