there is so much stupid shit in this thread i really cant even begin to start, but ill try anyways, first off, yes cigarettes are bad, but only to a certain extent, all of you people who are against it seem to be convinced that every person who starts smoking at a young age and continues smoking for a good period of their life will die, i dont know if you really think this, but its just not true, i dont know any actual statistics, and it would be pretty pointless to attempt to find them because of the extreme bias of basically any site that contains information for or against smoking, but the point is that smoking definitely can do bad things, but themajority of smokers arent killed by cigarettes, this being said, yes smoking consistantly for a long period of time, wether it be weed or butts, does do damage to your lungs, so for the moron who said he smoked blunts every day, your probably worse off than the cigarette smoker, so other than the effect of smoke on our lungs, there are no other effects that occur in all smokers, maybe high blood pressure counts, but that is as debatable as shit like carcignogens, which some people THINK gives you an increased risk for cancer, but this is almost impossible to prove, this all being said, the risk for lung cancer, throat cancer, etc. is all increased by cigarette smoking, but it is basically impossible to link the increased risk of cancer with a certain chemical in the cigarette, so all you can really say is there is an increased risk in smoking, and we dont really know wether the cigarettes or just genetics has a greater effect in actually causing the cancer, so it is hard to say that cigarettes give you cancer and kill you, they only increase the risk for certain diseases, so if a person is willing to take that risk because they enjoy cigarettes, why bitch at them and call them stupid, its a fucking lifestyle choice people, i dont even smoke butts and im telling all of this shit like it is, we are all freeskiers, and there is a risk of death involved in our sport, obviously we all agree that the risk is worth the fun of skiing, but if someone feels the risk of death in smoking, which is obviously greater than skiing, is worth taking, dont bitch at them for it, because we all engage in risky behavior, and you dont have the right to criticize someone else for their choice of behavior, just because there are commercials that support your argument with mostly bullshit statistics, remember what mark twain said, there are three kinds of lies, lies, damn lies, and statistics
