Thread 513464402

I started smoking and holy shit. It feels so good. Which is exactly why it needs to be banned. Its fucking deadly poison that makes you feel incredibly good. Its a trap and I fear ive just fallen into it. I dont want me or anyone else who smoked to suffer the all too common fate of becoming addicted and dying of cancer. Ban it.

Nah

I smoked for about 5 years.

why don't you quit it, then just keep it on hand as something to enjoy whenever ww3 happens or for celebrating an occasion like new years or whatever?

It's not an addiction, it's a perfectly fair game - you only smoke while pros are greater than cons for you, and quit as soon as it changes. Me and pretty much every peer of mine have been smoking for 15+ years, but not a single one continues now when it's banned everywhere.

there is ONE health benefit to smoking...ONE. It increases your testosterone.

>>513464402 (OP)
it also makes you incredibly productive. no real health risks unless you have pussy lungs, or if you smoke two packs a day

50% of people that smoke die from smoking

every time I pick up cigarettes again its 2 months of bliss until my veins start to feel like they are about to pop out of my body when I can't get a smoke in

in what funny libertarian state do you live that it's not already banned?

It's been banned in bars here for like 20 years, banned in restaurants for even longer than that, banned in workplaces and on trains etc for even longer than that.

Even smoking outdoors there's like a no-smoking radius outside of doors of malls and train stations and college campus buildings and whatever where you have to be like 10 meter away from any doors unless you want to risk getting fined, smoking in parks is completely banned, etc.

Cancer isn't a rational justification for banning smoking, the numbers don't support that. The risk of dying of lung cancer for smokers is only slightly higher than in the general population. Your lack of self-control also isn't a rational justification for banning a whole class of products. If you're looking for a successful argument, might I suggest that, like the lottery, smoking is effectively a tax on the poor, sapping thousands of dollars of income every year per capita, or the other very real negative health effects?

There are other health benefits like reducing suspectibility to certain respiratory illnesses. Most are benefits of nicotine and not tobacco per se, like increasing concentration and focus and just making you feel good. It's clearly nootropic. Then there are social benefits.

50% of statistics are entirely made up. Like this one.

I cant get addicted to anything. I'm starting to think its an IQ thing. Everyone thinks I'm a savant or something weird
I smoked a pack of cigarettes at a bbq party and have been cold turkey for a few weeks. no urge to do it until whenever the next party is. Yes I draw the entire thing into my lungs. my housemates wake up and immediately light up. I also hate vapes. whatever I guess

Fuck off faggot.

It's crazy how people obsessively talk about banning things like porn, certain foods, the more taboo drugs or goes on about how morally decayed society is but then they'' ignore these disgusting poison fumes that no one consented to being exposed to. It actually damages people and nobody cares.

Wait until you take up drinking

>>513466325
Literally this. I smoke when I can get cheap duty free tobacco and simply don't when I can't. Tobacco is taxed at some like 500% in the UK it's fucking retarded.

>>513464402 (OP)
It's not an addiction, it's a habit. One pack lasts me several months

>>513464402 (OP)
