I think that the government should rase the taxes on somking so much that all the smokers will be guys living on the streets.  Also, that would put smoking companies out of business and then-- VOLIA-- problem solved!!

You don't know how to solve such problems. Feed the homeless to the hungry and give the rebillious guns and send them into the next country. tongue.gif

I find no reason to smoke. Lets think what smoking does:

1. kills a Shizzle load of people every year

2. messes up the enviroment

3. causes discomfort to many people

Though most who smoke would denie it be they get ugly, nasty lookin, and yellow teeth. How could you find that cool or any thing else but death defiing

I say we legalize both smoking AND marijuana, then tax the hell outta it. You all talk about finding replacements. Like what??? People arent gonna stop when they get no nicotine. they will try harder to find cigs than ever. I put that it should be banned, but I'm thinking twice now.... TAX IT TAX IT! TAX IT TO HELL! It would work. jerry.gif

The way to beat smoking is through education, starting at an early age.  Because it can't be done with our current legal system.

On the other hand, I don't really care if I die at 80 rather than 90.  Who wants to be 90 anyway?  Sure, it's disgusting, but even smokers should be able to make a choice as to whether or not to continue, even if they know full well the consequences.

that's true because education will help people to stop smoking and do the right decision in their own life at an early age. but on the other hand some people wanted to be part some crew so they would smoke. it's the person decisions on what they hope to do.

smokeing is slowly but surely being reduced/ cut down. why do you think their are so many anti smokeing slogans in middle school/ elementary schools. they want to stop it early, but like chui said it would be a repeat proibition.

Why don't you take up smoking? Let's see if you'll be able to quit whenever you want.

[center]Solution: Force the companies to put highly toxic chemicals in large amounts in them from now on. Anyone who smokes will die from them.

Actually, I smoke, so it'd be bad... Er... Badder... Er... Worse... Er... Yeah... Not like I'm addicted or anything. I just have a couple here and there.

What should happen is they should ban smoking from public places and still make it legal. Don't jack up the price, I gotta spend more money then...[/center]

[center]NO I didn't feel like reading the whole thread before I posted, so...
There are some places in my state where smoking has been banned in public placed like bars, and resturants, and places of the such. I don't agree with this. People should be able to smoke where ever they want. If you're getting enough second-hand smoke to get all censored.gif ed by it, you're probably an idiot, or someone without legs who can't move away from the smokey area. If the smoke bothers you, move to a less smokey area, or just suck it up, and don't be a censored.gif.

Smoking should be banned! Period!

In my philosophy, ciggerates are like candy, they are addicting, but bad for your health. It's just that ciggerates are both addicting and bad for your health 10 fold. *ahem* Make that 20 fold. disgust.gif

hmm...how much is banning going to do? Look at prohibition during the 1920s, or the ammount of marijuna etc abuse in the states right now.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by MillenniumArmy on 2005-03-13 at 14:20:26
Ur right, in reality, banning would be either impossible or futile.

BUT if we could have things go our way with little resistance... would you ban smoking?

[center]Prohibiting smoking wouldn't have exactly the same effect as when alcahol was outlawed, but it would be close. People making their own, people illiegally importing, and alot of other things that prohibition tried to put a stop to. Notice how in countries that have legalised 'poking smot' (Think hard, you'll get it), there's much less abuse of it. The US government seems to only have 1 way of doing things; the wrong way.[/center]

it is necessary to banish the cigarette of the places public. secondary smoke is worse than the cigarette she even. the cigarette can cause a cancer of the mouth, pharynx, nose, lung, etc. many smokers agree to banish the cigarette.. And after all, the smokers will be always able to smoke at the house.

You did not finish ranting.gif it with its language or are a translator?

Let us return on the subject:

Yes, there is much law in Quebec and in Canada, which have and which will be voted to remove the smokers of the public places, its will be a good thing, because it are recognized and a these fact, which the cigarette smoke is fatal and gives the lung cancer!

So its, but you can know, what would happen the economy, when smoking one forbade? Them became crap and the Americans out into a deep lowest point again would fall, because billions dollar were not given for government.

Whatever: Yes, that was in Google translator. But only to German from English, to English from German once. It screwed it up.

Smoking is really cheap this create cancer and other shit but for self this is a good sensation. we can relax easy with that if you are not a compulsive smoker

ADDITION:
But to prohibit to smoke in the public place it is a good thing because it is not everyone which wants to breathe smoke. Then NOT to the smoking in public place

I say make cigarettes reaaaallly cheap, this way the stupid censored.gif who smoke can die very early. Then if massive amounts of compulsive smokers die in a very short amount of time, maybe then people will see the light. If not, then there can be less idiots in the world who do smoke, because they can just die.
