There is scientific proof that women who smoke are more sexually active than women who don't smoke. Women who smoke love to have sex, porno-style (doggy-style, hot oral, anal). Women who don't smoke are prudes who only have boring sex, if any.

you just proved how little sex you must have had... if any.
and no, sex with your own right hand doesn't count

Also how do they justify the smelly clothes, the smelly hair, the water bill due to washing clothes more often, The crappy smell of it when it comes out of your hair in the shower(yes non smokers have to deal with that crap too. Thanks 2nd hand smoke!),the yellow teeth and fingers, the cost of it, how dirty ash trays look and smell, the health risk to others including their freinds and family and how uncool and dumb it looks. I mean c'mon nothing looks cooler than a girl in a bikini on a beach in 30 degree celcius weather with a heater in her hand right.:rolleyes: Oh and how about how happy the people look in the winter time hanging outside the office beside the dumpsetr in the back alley in -25 degree celcius weather. :rolleyes: EVERYONE !!!!!! I challenge all of you to quit right now. I've layed it out for ya, there is nothing positive or redeeming about smoking other than you may like it. So all together now.......QUIT!!!!! I belive in you, you can do it!!!!!

You should start smoking; you probably won't be so uptight. :wink:
 
I don't smoke... and I've never even tried it. I had the fun of watching a few grandparents die long, slow, painful, animals-coming-out-of-the-walls deaths from lung cancer, so I've never even been tempted.

Secondhand smoke gives me migranes now.
 
I know but just let him dig his own grave because he is not going to last much longer here as it is.

Let me ask you this, Livluv. And we've had arguments in the past and I'm really now trying to start one now. I really am curious. I agree, there is a fine line. I have friends who encourage me to quit, but right now, they don't push to hard. I'm still young and I think they know I will do it when I'm ready. Anyway, what do you think of (and anyone else here) statements like this one:

Or the commercials where a kid is running around licking trashcans. Do you think that's helpful in anyway, or do you think it just serves to piss people off, put their guards up? I know I find a lot of that stuff pretty offensive and unhelpful to the extreme and it certainly doesn't, in any way, encourage me to stop smoking.

That's fine but it's not meant to be offensive. It's just meant to be the truth.[

Thanks very much for your input. :| You made your point when you said you didn't smoke, never would and gave your reason for it.

I appreciate that fact that cigarette smoke is bad for people asides from the person smoking. And it can also be annoying to them. I make a point to never smoke around people who don't smoke and if you go outside in a city and you encounter someone smoking, forget about it. The air you would be breathing is equally bad for you and you can't get away from that.

So now, can you please explain to me why you feel the need to type out some long explanation that basically comes down to calling someone who smokes stupid, complete with excessive use of eye rolling smilies? I'm really curious to know why people feel the need to do this. Seriously, why is it so offensive to you if someone else chooses to smoke. And since you were the one to derail the "Do you smoke and if so why" part of the thread, I direct the question towards you.

And to answer the last question the thread starter asked, I think it's easy if you enjoy something to just put it above the health risks. Eating excessive fatty foods. Drinking too much. Unprotected sex. People do crap that is bad for them all the time because they enjoy it, because it feels good. Smoking to me is just another one of those things.

Calm down. If you can't see the humor and sarcasm in it that's your problem. All I did was add on to I'm Ready's question: another question: for those who smoke, how do you ignore the inherent health disadvantage you give yourselves (again completely serious question)

All I was doing was asking how do you also ignore these factors. And to answer your question why it's so offensive to me when others smoke it's because not all smokers are as considerate as you might be. Smokers always use the copout that eating unhealthy food is just as bad well I'm sorry but that's WRONG!!! I've never been attacked by second had steak, or fudge or Pepsi. I am attacked by second hand smoke on a dialy basis. By the people I work with the the freinds I hang out with. So there ya go. And I'm not calling smokers stupid. It's a stupid choice but I don't think they're stupid people. Smokers already know that it is a stupid choice to why would a post like mine be so offensive to you? Like I said in my previous post just above. I didn't post it to be offensive, I just posted the truth. If you're offended by the truth than there's a simple solution to it and you know what that is.

Gimmie a break.. I was commenting on my post which is what the response was referring to. I'm not talking about trash can licking. Show me where I posted licking trash cans was the truth. Everything I have posted is the truth so take your commenst elsewhere if you don't like it. Get a clue.
 
about the ads, it's simply an association technique--as in if you smoke you may as well lick a trashcan. Obviously, this will go over better with some than others :|

The fact that this ad campaign is being discussed demonstrates its effectiveness though, so I guess they won. ;)

Exactly. It's like the add where the girl rolls around in dog crap right after the dog takes a crap. The ad basically says nobody wants to smell like shit so why smoke. If smokers take offence to this kind of add campaigne it's only because the truth hurts, weather its coming from an ad campaigne which uses sarcasm or weather it's a direct statement like "If you smoke, you'll smell bad" It's not ment to be offensive. It's ment to deter people from smoking. It'd be the same thing if they ran adds about meth or crack addiction. You wouldn't take a hammer and smash your teeth out so why do meth or crack. It's truth by associating/sarcasm.

Wow it's been a year? I still got a career- lost some weight but still don't got a stomach (or dough) like Britney Spears but
I can actually breathe got some nice white teeth and I can sit through dinner and not get up to smoke in the middle and leave

pretty insecure with that thing stickin out little wrinkles on your brow
I dont know how you're gonna do it but you better do it

curse Phillip Morris
gonna curse you motherfuckers which brings me to the chorus

New York runs ads about how smoking clogs your arteries and will give you a stroke... the artery one, they have someone squeezing fat out of someone else's aorta, and the stroke one has a brain being cut in half to show you the clot (which then starts bleeding).

Anyone else in the area ever see these? As a non-smoker I don't think they make me not want to smoke more, just not want to watch the commercial. I was ok with the aorta one but the brain one... :no:
 
I use to smoke, but I quit 4 1/2 months ago....and I have the extra 15 pounds to prove it :D !!!!!!!!
