We should stop the problem at its source. Prevent cigarette manufacturers from manufacturing cigarettes.

Or kill everyone who smokes, either works.

I think we should stop all crime at it's source and prevent people manufacturers from manufacturing more people.

No, the second hand smokers are not feeding the industry.

I have the same opinion on this.
I think that would be the only way for everyone to quit smoking.

It is a person's choice to smoke or not.  Everyone should have the option to kill themselves slowly or not, it's not the government's business to destroy something that people like to do.

What about child porn on the internet, a way to for sure stop that is just close all internet service providers.  No more internet & problem solved, no more internet porn.

Wouldn't you like to have the choice wether or not to be on the internet &/or smoke?

It is my choice not to smoke. But wait, this guy that just walked by me blew smoke in my face, which I inhaled, giving me lung cancer and causing me to be sick, die, and cause grief to my family and friends.
-OR-
It is my fathers choice not to smoke (who pays the bills in my family). But wait, this guy that just walked by me blew smoke in his face, which he inhaled, giving him lung cancer and causing him to be sick, die, and cause grief to my family and friends, and also forcing my family onto welfare, making me drop out of school to work and sending my sister into prostitution. Oh my grandparents just died from grief too.

Yes. How can they stand by people who smoke? That's disgusting. I can't.

No. The correct answer is: No more children --> no more child porn.

Are you saying you should have a choice on this? Are you admitting to everyone you watch child porn?

btw, this is my friend from work in an email:
QuoteThe Christmas party is the 14th. Don't forget. But actually, I am not really even looking forward to it anymore. I starting thinking about waiting forever to eat and then sitting there forever waiting for the speeches, and then sitting through them, all the time thinking to myself....
SURE NEED A SMOKE, WISH I COULD HAVE A SMOKE, PRETTY COLD OUT THERE TO SMOKE, DO I HAVE TIME FOR JUST ONE SMOKE?
That does not sound like allot of fun, now does it?
Stupid laws.

My response:
QuoteThe law is great for nonsmokers!  Last year it was, "Ugh, I have to sit in a stuffy bar inhaling other people's smoke, then I'll stink when I leave and have to shower just to get the smell off myself."

If someone does die from a single instance of second-hand smoke I'd have them arrestted for murder.  BUT, since it is very impractical that someone could die from just one instance, unless they had asthma or another lung problem, of second hand smoke.

It has been demonstrably shown that second-hand smoke has serious effects on those who are exposed to it for long periods of time, often in situations where they have no choice. Smoking tobacco is quite frankly stupid, as well as being a menace to society. We have laws against driving while drunk, why not laws against smoking in the company of other people? I wonder if people might take the hint if they were no longer allowed to smoke in their homes or on the streets.

One person was not the point I was tring to make, it was smokers in general. They are responsible.
