Why smoke?, page 3

Your logic is fine, 'logically speaking' (remember my thread on 'Is logic logical?' - go and revive it). However, you cannot tar all situations like this with the same brush. It is not about replacing nouns and verbs within a given structure which makes smoking a healthy thing for yourselves, or a healthy thing for unfortunate passive smokers. It's just ridiculous - and I know if the tables were turned, you would be telling me the same thing.

I don't use the 'reply to' button because I people who say something to me know that I am refering to them, which means it doesn't necessarily concern others. If you read back a little, you'll see the user who refered to bullying. I'm not picking sentences out of thin air and responding to invisible posts.

www.medicalnewstoday.com... Is this webpage not enough for you? Will you respond with 'it makes me feel better' or 'I enjoy it'? That is simply not a healthy answer. Your BRAIN might like it, but your body does NOT. What's hard to understand?

I will not it here and be screwed by lame arguments. Some people on here might take such nonsense but I certainly shall not. Comparing it to a TV? Are you... well, what are you? A TV and cigarette smoke????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I know you didn't/won't read the website I presented to you, but try. Look at everything related to smoking. Or, I know, maybe it's a conspiracy and smoking is actually perfectly jolly and healthy and everyone should do it but it's just the secret governments and corps who want you... well, what? It doesn't even make sense, I can't even finish a sensible sentence with such nonsense.

There are many other things which are safer for the body. I have stress sometimes, but I don't light up and harm my body. I also don't force myself to be segregated by smoking such an unhealthy object. I also don't get ill from watching my TV one or 2 hours a day (I'm not a couch potato I can assure) and the £310 I paid for it is a one-off payment which will last probably 5 years until something else tickles my fancy. I won't be any nearer death or some disease that you will have from smoking. You simply CANNOT defend smoking as healthy and beneficial. Your cigarettes, in the UK for example, are something like £5 a packet. Some 'need' 5 a week, and that's considered 'not too many'. So, £100/month. £1,200/year, basically. Sometimes thousands more but not much less for an average smoker. All that money - what could you do with that? What you want, quite, but why choose to pay a disgraceful corporation to poison you and harm others in the process through passive smoking? It lingers in the breath, it stays on clothes during the day... it's utterly vile, doesn't smell nice. If smoking was healthy and had nice things in it, such as I have mentioned above like vanilla and olive oil, for example, would you choose one to smell like tar and week old crap, or some pleasant fragrance? Surely you wouldn't choose the tripe over the nicer smell, if you had the option?

To defend smoking is as useless as defending driving fast when you shouldn't. You like it, it makes you feel better, you may kill people in the process or affect them negatively, it may even affect you very negatively and increase your chances of death - it even says everywhere not to drive fast and you've seen videos of what happens when you do... but you still do. Because you like it and it makes you feel good.

Acceptable? I think not. Choose a cheaper, healthier option and stop defending such nonsensical actions by comparing them, beyond incredibly lamely, to purchasing a TV!!!! My goodness you need to do better than that.

And tell me my TV is that bad.
