Why are we not complaining about the things we eat that is killing us as well,the chemicals that is creating cancer as well, or the fumes from buses,trucks trains etc.Lets talk about what it takes to clean our water,yep its safe,especially after all the chemicals are added to clean it.Yes I do realize that smoking is bad but to blame all on smoking is just not being realistic. I am just trying to say that I do understand that some can not take the smell of smoke whether it be due to allergies or just find it offensive or concerned about their lungs,yet we all eat,drink and drive,do you really think that nicotine is the only thing thats on the list of everday killers?

You may think smoking doesn`t hurt your lungs or stink but I can guarantee you that if you smoke in your house, your house stinks. If you smoke regularly, you stink (your breath, your fingers, your clothes) and if you think smoking doesn`t hurt your lungs, do a little research because it sure does affect your entire respiratory system..maybe not today or tomorrow but in the long run your lungs can only take so much. Once the damage is done there`s no going back. I personnaly don`t care if you choose to smoke or not, fill your lungs! But don`t turn around years from now when you have breathing issues and blame every body but yourself because it`s nobodys fault except your own. FYI, I also came from a home that I was exposed to second hand smoke, and I hated every minute of it. This ones for you Jay.

I finally got to a point where i didn't like or enjoy the taste or act of smoking,except for a couple times a day,,maybe with beer,after a Meal,& in the morn with that 1st coffee,& even at that,it was gett'n 2 B enough. I went through "HELL" during that 1st few months of withdrawl & cravings from the chemicals & additives the tobacco companies put in the Cigs,let alone yes the nicitine, After a year i knew i had it beat,i no longer craved,nor wanted a cig,esp with coffee,etc. 20 yrs later,i've (as your caller),have developed a Ashmatic / Lung Health condition & need to inhale the puffer when needed esp around Cig Smoke. When i go out,EVEN around the area's you are NOT supposed to smoke outside buildings (at the door) Right AT the bus stop,,I find myself holding my breath & having to always walk around Clouds of smoke. People don't even think at bus stops & stand down wind (idiots). I've also had relatives & (Direct Family Members) Pass away from Cancer due to smoking,& MY Oldest Brother out East is in Surgury next month (3rd one) for A missing upper mouth & face missing ,due to Mouth cancer from Smoking. After all the agony,withdrawl & Health conditions & grief& hardships Cigs & Mainly Tobacco Companies have put me & my Family through. I have little or no respect for Cigerettes & Esp The Companies. I can't really say Smokers,cause i was once AN IDIOT AS WELL ! But i have 0 / ZERO respect for the inconsiderate Smokers & law breakers. & in closing,i feel all smoking in resoect for the Healthy & reformed people it should be banned Period,or treated like LIQUOR ! Can't Drink in the Streets or in Public. Only at appropriate Bars,& at home. Same with Smoking. (My Opinion) Hello Randall,

When will they start putting pictures and warnings on beer and alcohol bottles of a liver or some-such after consuming? The more we allow dictatorship, the more we will all be dictated to. It comes right down to freedom. Smoking complaints are one thing, but how loud will people scream if those same warning labels were applied to booze, foods (all those preservatives and cancer-causing ingredients you know), electronics (which leach toxins into the atmosphere) and other products? There are a ton of things you can buy that are bad for you, bad for the environment, bad for the animals and so on. But the bottom line is that if they're so bad, why can we still buy them? We live in a nanny state as it is where laws are passed 'for our own good'... Why stop there?
