a reason behind smoking a cigrate

The government benefits from smoking taxes, and the trial lawyers that support the government benefit from smoking settlements. Nevertheless, the tobacco companies, which also produce many of our basic foodstuffs, are still allowed to play a prominent role in American politics.

In New York State, some counties ban smoking from any restaurant which cannot provide a totally separate ventilation system (separate rooms) for smokers and nonsmokers.

This transition should be subsidized for several reasons- first of all, it poses an involunary loss of business to those who are running restaurants. If "eminent domain" laws force compensation for governmental appropriation of property for a just cause, the smoking restrictions, supposedly to promote good health, should likewise compensate business owners.

Secondly, the early death of smokers does not deter their effective contribution to the national economy. The smoker buys these cigarettes, spending money in a "Pyramid" pattern; this is an allusion to the original economic and political purposes of the Egyptians when they built their pyramids: The pyramids were meant to soak up excess wealth, deterring any potential instability caused by those lower on the totem pole fighting to acquire this wealth. Likewise, the entire smoking industry and the accordant medical conditions can be described, along with the entertainment industry, as "Pyramids." Just like it is necessary to burn excess food crop, we must burn excess food and cash.

Philip Morris recently published a study about the lighter side of smoking: in the Czech Republic, the early deaths of smokers may cause a financial boon to a cash strapped government which cannot afford to provide them services in the later years of life.

"We are not in any way suggesting that the social cost of smoking is of benefit to society," a Morris spokesman said.

However, those social costs are of benefit to society as a whole. There's a death deficit in this world; people are dying of things like AIDS, malnutrition, and cholera; things that are not always self inflicted, as smoking damage nearly always is. The smoker, rather than the innocent, starving kid, should die; the money saved by the smoker's death can save the kid.

Perhaps, when the global fascist order finally takes over completely, they can remove all health benefits for smokers while removing all restrictions on smoking. Then, the resultant depopulation will free up funds for AIDS relief, malnutrition, and other pressing health issues.

Smoking causes coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death. Cigarette smokers are 2–4 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than nonsmokers.

Cigarette smoking approximately doubles a person's risk for stroke.

Cigarette smoking causes reduced circulation by narrowing the blood vessels (arteries). Smokers are more than 10 times as likely as nonsmokers to develop peripheral vascular disease.

Smoking causes abdominal aortic aneurysm.

i used to smoke A LOT. I finish one pack during daytime..and finish another at night.

I stopped when my dad started having heart complications.

And when I acquired asthma.

I am living a clean life now. Lucky me..my friends don't smoke in front of me. =D

The reason behind smoking a cigarette is the same reason behind consuming drugs!

ADDICTION due to weakness... in my point of view...

When I first wanted to try smoking, I was encouraged by some friends (all smokers) at the age of 15. We went to a restaurant and a bunch of girls were seated behind us.

The guys kept teasing me with not being MAN ENOUGH to inhale a cigarette and the girls were laughing at me!

So I decided to be a MACHO-MAN and try one...

I coughed so strongly that I lost my balance and dropped some food and my Pespi on my self...

I was the laughing stock again and the girls were laughing their heads off...

That's why I WILL NEVER SMOKE AGAIN!!!

:-D

Never heard of hardening of the arteries from smoking..that's caused by diet...

Smokers smoke because they enjoy it and it can become a habit. Smokers should take care and be considerate of nonsmokers in buildings tho. Take it outside.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.

it's a disgusting habit to a non smoker. Especially when you are sitting next to a smoker when you are eating dinner.

if someone spat one you everytime you blew out smoke you would get the message quickly.
