its bad for you but feels and tastes great

like many things in life

It is very harmful to the body but typically doesn't affect other aspects of life compared to many other drugs, in that sense it's pretty benign.

it's for absolute fucking retards but hey if you want to kill yourself go ahead

If this whole universal health care things keeps taking precedence, then yes.

College girls love it

Having sex can cause stds, should it be banned? Eating meat can be incredibly delicious and cause a health problem, should it be banned? Being vegan will make you frail and you won't get all the nutrients you need, should it be banned? Sharks are in the ocean, should swimming in the ocean be banned? There are bears in the woods, should camping be banned? There are birds in the sky, should flying be banned? I stubbed my toe on my couch leg holder, should couch leg holders be banned? I smoked some ciggarettes and coughed, should smoking be banned? I smoke nicotine for 70 years a pack a day and have cancer, should smoking be banned? I once breathed in smoke from a campfire because the wind blew it in my face and I coughed, should campfires be banned? My neighbors dad is a pedophile, should parents be banned? I once get my finger on a leaf while putting it in the leaf pile and it got infected, should leaves be banned? I once hurt myself from falling over, should I be banned? SHUT UUUUUUUP. If it fucks with your family don't use it if you don't want, don't stop me or anyone else from having fun smoking cigs eating meat and drinking wine you mommy piece of shit.

Typical anti-tobacco propaganda with light of miners, who smoking.
>Today, even those conducting autopsies admit that looking at lungs alone is not a way to tell if the deceased smoked. Wray Kephart used to work in hospitals, performing autopsies (usually on the behalf of insurance companies). Kephart claims to have done around 1560 autopsies, and he says it is normally impossible to tell whether the deceased was a smoker or not from autopsy. This was confirmed by Dr Jan Zeldenrust, a Dutch pathologist for the Government of Holland from 1951 - 1984. In a television interview in the 1980's he stated that, translated from Dutch, "I could never see on a pair of lungs if they belonged to a smoker or non-smoker. I can see clearly the difference between sick and healthy lungs. The only black lungs I've seen are from peat-workers and coal miners, never from smokers".

There is literally nothing cooler than a nazi smoking.

I don't smoke, so I don't care.
Ban weed especially, the junkies deserve to drown in their own tears.

No, just continue banning it in public spaces so all the degenerates can kill themselves by themselves without spreading their foul smelling shit smoke around other people.

*with lungs

>The only black lungs I've seen are from peat-workers and coal miners, never from smokers

Pretty much that. The whole lung cancer thing is just passing the buck on tobacco, was actually asbestos that caused the majority of lung cancer.

>Should you do it?
No
>Should it be banned?
No

>All these false equivalences
Enjoy dying from lung cancer at 40, user.

NEWPORT SHORTS ARE MY JAM BOIII

SMOKING SOOTHES THE THROAT AND YOU DONT LOOK LIKE A FUCKING DOUCHE

Yeah it should be banned in public. I don't want to have someone puffing cigarettes in my face. Fucking disgusting.

>day off
>"let's browse pol"
>retard suggests more govt regulation.

please die

...

Yes, although those don't affect other people, cigarettes do.

cry me a river fag boy. I'll make sure bubble wrap and pillows are sworn into law and put on the bottom of shoes so people don't STEP AROUND too loud for your sensitive little hearing ears fucking baby.

yes. smoking is for degenerates.
fucking hate all the smokerfaggots in Vienna.
it's all nu-males and trashwhores who do that.

As someone who smoked heavily for 20+ years and quit cold turkey last jan 1st. It's shit and you don't need it. Waste of time and money.
The pleasure you get from nicotine only comes after you're addicted.
If you're controlled by a fucking plant you're a fucking faggot, end of.

>SMOKING SOOTHES THE THROAT

It's a challenging question: what are the limits on when one person can prey on another?

Yes, people should be free to do self-harming things - but people should also collectively agree to defend each other from predators.

So when do we limit the freedom to attempt to addict people to drugs - in this case a drug that will eventually kill them and dump their medical expenses back onto society?

>correlation equals causation
Nice fear mongering lol.

I dislike smoking personally, but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets when alcohol gets a free ride. That causes society far more problems.

How good a society is isn't dictated by how long its people live. You could lock everyone in cages and feed them through a tube, I suspect they'd live very long, no murder or crime. Also fuck off with 2nd hand = insta-death. Thats fucking bullshit, your just trying to control something that isnt degenerate or obnoxious and feels good.

>cigarettes dindu nuffin

Is legal to smoke inside stablishments in your country?
The only allowed smoking areas in ours, is the street

Smoking is dumb, more so if you're trying to get in shape or an athlete. Nothing wrong with a smoke or two with your coworkers after a tough day or out at the bar. Just like there's nothing wrong with smoking a bit of weed while camping or something. All good things in moderation.

It depends on the city, I don't know of any states that ban something like that statewide.

I'm all for people's rights to fuck themselves up with whatever they want, but fuck smokers. Smell disgusting, throw their filthy butts everywhere, give other people cancer, take breaks at work every 30 mins because they NEED their fix.

Fucking weak ass faggot addicts.

No ban, but society shouldn't have to pay for a smoker's medical care, if a smoker knowingly fucks up their lungs for years on end.

No. It's just natural selection. If people want to give themselves respiratory problems, then that's their choice.

Cancer is the cancer killing the industry. A fatal design flaw.

>giving in to the jewish cancer stick
>ever

fuck smokers

french stick

actually according to wikipedia smoking tobacco was a spanish invention somewhere between the discovery of americas and the 18th century
the french used to sniff tobacco until the mid 19th century

so, NO

its for retards, but people should have right to do retarded things. I just dont want those people to be an important part of my life

>implying tobacco doesn't open you up to the ultimate redpill
case in point, pic related

The majority of states have some form of indoor smoking ban iirc. Some of their laws have loopholes to get around it, though, like having a separate room with open windows and a door leading outside that they call an entryway or porch that acts as a de facto smoking area.

Tobacco is one of the main reasons that we became the greatest country in the world. If you are anti-smoking then you are anti-America.

Depends on the state. Here in Pennsylvania smoking is legal in bars if less than a certain percentage of sales is from food. Smoking is also legal in defined area of casinos.

Incoming mentally ill addicts trying to justify their degenerate habit by saying live and let live which is the same mindset that let millions of rapefugees into Germany

Smoking causes cancer by, to put it very simply in laymans terms, causing mutation of the cells in yoir body. Very specifically in the cells of your mouth, respiratory tract and lungs, although it can predispose you to cancers in other areas of the body. And I agree tbat black lung is likely a lie. But it DOES cause COPD and emphysema by destroying the little air pockets where actual gas exchange occurs in your lungs (aka alveoli)
Not to mention is causes vasoconstriction, which leads to HTN.

cigarettes from 50 years ago arent the same poisonous shit from today
I wish people could smoke in the buses, planes, trains (here they are trying to ban it)...
I wish they could be seen sponsors of shit, like in formula 1 in the old days.
Or cigarette commercials like in the older days.

If you drive 6miles every day you have a high chance to die in a traffic accident.

Its life, anything kills you (meat is known to cause cancer too but nobody cares), so why not allow people to at least do what feels good for them.

Meat does not cause cancer, over-eating and smoking does.

Drugs alchohol and smoking should be banned

Less poisonous? Wtf are yiu talking about, at least they have filter these days

Any meat that is processed to last longerthan 2 days causes cancer.
Unless you hunt your own meat and eat it raw enjoy your cancer meatcuck

Smoking is self destructive but should not be banned.

>Meat does not cause cancer

I have some bad news for you. Also, I detest the smell of meat. This is a passive consumption of meat! Should be prohibited!

Fine in small amounts if you can afford it. I'll smoke occasionally at social events but that it.

If you're a 40 - 60 a day smoker that has fuck all money then you should consider killing yourself. Smoking is really expensive in the UK but there are a shit load of people who seem to justify spending what little money they have on it.

Smoking doesnt only increase your chances of having lung cancer but also it can increase the risk of coronary artery disease. Its not fun dying to a heart attack.

Sure ban it but don't be too shocked when the huge loss of tax revenue causes schools, hospitals, police stations etc to close.

I would rather die of a heart attack like my grandfather than die of Alzheimer's like my grandmother.
