Why do so many of them smoke??

[Crimson Dynamo]

Apart from thinking they look "cool" lol

if they get and know racism is bad

if they get and know bullying is bad

if they get and know homophobia is bad


why dont they get and know smoking is bad and will kill them/make them stink/make their skin grey/give them various forms of cancer/makes money for horrid tobacco fatcats who exploit children in developing countries?


are they so stupid or so vain?

BB should NOT allow smokers at all ffs


wake up this is 2010!:nono:

[Chels]

Because it's their lifestyle choice?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Because it's their lifestyle choice?

to die and smell?


are they not educated?

[zotler.]

Yeah okay, smoking is bad. Each to their own.
If they want to kill themselves via cigerettes, then let them.

[Jarvio]

Tbh I agree, smoking is stupid and weak. But unfortunately it's their choice

[Chels]

to die and smell?


are they not educated?

Idk but like I said it's their lifestyle choice, if they want to smoke let them. As long as it doesn't affect others who don't like it then that's okay.

[InOne]

People from all walks of life smoke.

Thats Easy more poor people Smoke

[BB_Eye]

Because smoking is well cool and trendy.

[ross-oaft]

Its similar to drinking alcahol in the sense it's a lifestyle choice, I dont think you 'shouldnt be allowed in' because you smoke - a bit petty.

[Chels]

no

That's not true, plenty of posh and rich people smoke, and the majority of them are well educated.

I'd stop smoking if I didn't think I'd become one of you.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its similar to drinking alcahol in the sense it's a lifestyle choice, I dont think you 'shouldnt be allowed in' because you smoke - a bit petty.

NO

alcohol does not kill you, it has no cancer forming additives and does not kill people as a by product as passive smoking does

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'd stop smoking if I didn't think I'd become one of you.

You will stop, it is inevitable as you are a clever chap, i would wager in your late 20s.

[InOne]

Well people smoke cos they're stressed and that, or for whatever reason. Nobody is ignorant of what smoking does to you in this day and age.

[Crimson Dynamo]

That's not true, plenty of posh and rich people smoke, and the majority of them are well educated.

Some do but it is the exception not the rule. Think of the bigger picture.


For every grandpa who smoked till he was 80 are 1,000,000 50 year olds who died in agony of lung cancer

[Stu]

You will stop, it is inevitable as you are a clever chap, i would wager in your late 20s.
I already did, actually. About 12 days and counting :tongue:.

Sticking to the green, nothing but.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i know

so BB should set an example

they cracked down on the N word but happily show people smoking to a young impressionable audience?

Yes it's not healthy. But it's their life, their choice, and if they want to smoke then let them.

They can't stop everything. Smoking is just a part of life.

great news

its just a mind thing


21 days is the length of time the mind needs to alter a habit. after 21 days you will be free.

[Crimson Dynamo]

no

it is part of the past


like sh itting in the street and smallpox

[jtalh2003]

yea your right lets ban smoking it kills people
lets ban alcohol it kills people

[InOne]

Well the goverment is trying to make it in the past. But booze and cig runs to Cali hyper market say different!

[Beastie]

Smoking = more bitching!! muahahaha.

[Crimson Dynamo]

yea your right lets ban smoking it kills people

i am amazed silly "arguments" like this still exist?

[Beastie]

yea your right lets ban smoking it kills people

You have to live to die.

If you don't live you might as well be dead.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Just let them smoke.

now (finally) we have a case for the defence


:dance::devil:

[ButterflyGirl]

NO

Alcohol does increase the chances of a few cancers actually.

All those things have benefits too though. Smoking doesn't. It's not even fun. It doesn't get you high. It's just an end unto itself. That's why I stopped. I was smoking because I was a smoker.

[And the green stuff is getting better and cheaper where I live, so I don't need the muck anyway. For some reason smoking pot makes me realize how bad smoking fags are and leaves me with no inclination to do so].

I would also recommend Whisky

[Alpertinator]

Sometimes I like to have a smoke. Like victory cigars! Or celebratory cigars. I sometimes casually have a cigarette but I have never gotten addicted, I don't find it addictive. Only if I have a lot to drink I sometimes crave to have a nice relaxing smoke. That's it. I never smoke cos' I'm stressed. I just don't. Besides I hardly ever smoke anymore anyway.

[jtalh2003]

You have to live to die.

If you don't live you might as well be dead.
thats my point

[InOne]

You have to have a certain look to pull off a Cigar.

[Stu]

thats my point
And you need fags for living?

Whereas if you didn't you would have a longer life to enjoy all those other things instead of just this one thing.

To be honest it IS a B.S. argument when it comes to fags. It's one of the most destructive drugs on the planet and it doesn't even get you high.

Waste of time, money and health.

a longer life of people like you telling me what i should and should not do is more like longer prison sentence

[Stacey.]

don't mind whether they smoke or not.

[Crimson Dynamo]

a cuban cigar is a beauty to behold

[InOne]

a cuban cigar is a beauty to behold

But can you pull it off?

[Jords]

They like it?

[AfroMullet]

no

it is mainly the domain of the poorly educated and young (who think they will live forever)

go to a marketing meeting of a big tobacco company to see

LOL if you say so, i used to work for a Language School and i dealt with all the foreign students, all of them was well educated and all of them was from well off backgrounds and i'd say about 90% of them smoked, and they was all aged between 14 - 18...

As far as smoking goes, thats there choice, personally i hate tobbaco but thats me, if Big Brother contestants wanna smoke them self to death, i say go ahead.

[MissKittyFantastico]

no

What a load of rubbish.

I can't even remember now why I started smoking, but I've done so for years because I actually enjoyed it, as do many other people who smoke, it's not all purely down to being addicted.

Not saying I don't want to give up because I do as I'm aware of the health risks as I'm not dumb and uneducated but lots of things we do that we enjoy are bad for us, not just smoking! I find people like you offensive, my life my choice!

[RCW1945]

Afro
Did you really work for a Language School?
I presume it was a bad language school since you have made 13 errors in your short post.

[beady_eye]

if you look at the time the majority of people start, they start when they are young = smoking to be part of a group = to be popular

sad really if you think about it

[Captain.Remy]

to die and smell?


are they not educated?

I am very well educated, I'm going great studies, I am in good shape, I do sports...and I smoke, I brush my teeth and I enjoy my life. Yes it's possible. I'll possibly die from cancer but so what ? Everybody dies at some point, the reason as to how I would die is the least of my concern.

[eye sea]

I don't smoke. ;) And never have. :D

[Sophii3x]

Just let them smoke.

Smoking = more bitching!! muahahaha.

.. and the arguments over sharing out/ lending cigs when supply is short! :P

[aliacid]

Chels is right, its their lifestyle choice, it makes no difference to you. I'm sure they are all 100% aware of the dangers that come with smoking but continue to do so because it is their choice.

Its silly to say that the majority of smokers are uneducated members of the public, that's a bizarre statement. Anyone who has the ability to make their own decisions have the option of smoking, well educated or uneducated.

Your speaking about alcohol as if its perfectly safe and harmless but in reality it holds just as many dangers as tobacco. It may not hold such direct links to cancer but it can cause life threatening liver problems so please explain why you think smoking tobacco is unforgivable but think consuming alcohol is textbook?

As for Channel 4 cutting out the 'N' word but continuing to broadcast HMs smoking; it may have something to do with the fact that racial discrimination is against the law and smoking is not. Basically if you think smoking should be banned in the house, consuming alcohol should be banned respectively, how does that sound?

[Shasown]

Everyone Dies at some point. Maybe they enjoy smoking not just the physical side but also the social interaction etc.

no

go to a marketing meeting of a big tobacco company to see

And you have?

NO

alcohol does not kill you, it has no cancer forming additives and does not kill people as a by product as passive smoking does

Alcohol does kill, ask any of george Bests relatives. So you dont count indirect deaths such as caused by drunken drivers, murders/manslaughters etc commited while the perpetrator was under the influence etc?

no

it is part of the past


like sh itting in the street and smallpox

Could you add religion to that little list?

[Twilight]

It's their choice, and its not just poorly educated people that smoke.

[Josy]

NO

What a stupid statement.
