Was stood outside the front at work today smoking in the freezing cold wearing shorts 

some geezer came past “Jesus lads , your keen , I don’t know how you do it to yourself “ 

clearly , he wasn’t aware of how it feels to be absolutely hard as f**k and a total machine

i know its not extensive proof but we got my gran to move from fags to a vape and her copd hasnt progressed in the last 4/5 years that she has been on one so im convinced its better than tobacco 

It is better than smoking.

i smoked until I became a nurse and saw the suffering it brings, COPD would be more than i could cope with, stuck attached to an oxygen tank 24 hours a day in one room, sometimes for years, needing to rest in-between putting each sock on as your desperate for breath....

Never have the field under your feet or a walk to meet friends, just increasing isolation and suffering with the only prospect a slow death to look forward too. In the end even the oxygen can kill you.

i'm going for staying healthy till I wake up dead in the morning.

My youngest son tried a ciggie once, I told him how disappointed I was and asked him what it says on a packet "Smoking kills", he graduated as a doctor.

Do they harm other people like smoking does, no they don't. 

Passive smoking and smoke on clothes can cause ailments in children and other people, ban it.

I remember my father at 60 could not walk up the hill from my house to his 300 yard and not really that steep. Smoked all his life but they didn't know for most of his life they was never told it would harm them or worse kill them. It f****d his health had strokes al sorts and all down to the baccy. Brother in law just had an operation for cancer had deep vein thrombosis, veins on his leg look like road maps. Smoked all his life just given up and on Chemo.

Cheers Arry

Most older smokers didn't realise what they were letting themselves in for, real shame that so many went before their time to line the pockets of a few.

Out of curiosity would you support a ban on cars that do more than 70mph, alcohol, high sugar and high fat foods and energy drinks etc ? Or is it just specifically smoking ? 

He swapped smoking ...for vaping...so one habit for another...like thousands more you see with their fancy  handheld electronic smoke machines with the funky mixed exotic flavours...vaping in the car with the kids probably....but it's ok, because it's only vapor...who's the real mug???

Exactly, how was drinking ten cans in a field harmful to any others. 

We both know the indirect effects of smoking and alcohol are completely different but if you want to keep arguing the toss that's fine..

After drinking 10 cans in a field you'd be leaving the cans there which wouldn't be good. I wonder how many ton of fag ends are dumped out in the environment each year too especially now people have to go outside to smoke and won't be using ash trays?

My cans are always placed in a carrier bag unlike the brown toothed crew who get pleasure out of flicking their tab ends all over the place.

Would anyone be proud to hand their child their first feg?  Has anyone ordered their child/grandchild a personalised lighter as a Christmas gift?  Christmas is just around the corner......last minute stocking filler idea........lololol...
