Smoking is good for you

04-03-07, 06:43 PM

'Smokers are at least doing their bit to slow down the runaway obesity epidemic that is sweeping through the western world. "In many studies, you often find smokers are slimmer'.

'Scientists have also found evidence that smoking might, in some circumstances, help prevent the onset of various dementias'.

And more things you should make a choice about.

Being a smoker, I'm pleased hearing that.

Not totally new, anyway, and easy to use for opposite meaning.

In my country is available since years a sort of humoristic advertising telling about: smoking helps you in becoming slimmer.

The smoker in this picture is a skeleton.

Problem is, once you quit, you gain weight even if youre not stuffing anything down the pipe. Now wheres me pipe?, yarrrrrrrrrr

Why do such a thing? Unless you want to 'bloat' out.

Even though I'm not a smoker...I'm surprised at all of the smoking bans going around. I heard on the news last night that a few baseball stadiums have banned smoking except in 'designated areas outside the stadium'. How can they be afraid of second hand smoke issues in an open air stadium? Numerous health institutions have even told their employees that they couldn't smoke in their car on the employer parking lot and if you get caught walking across the street to light up, you get a warning or write up on your record dooming you to not receiving a merrit raise.

I have to agree, although I don't begrudge a non-smoker clean air but there does seem to be a little bit of 'hysteria' going hand in hand with smoking bans.

It seems that we're heading towards a situation where you will only be allowed to smoke in your own home and if you are smoking outside, you will have to evade non-smokers or cross the street.

If I happen to sit closer to a smoker in that arena, I am more concerned with the stinking he/she produces, than with my future health detoriating.

And the health institutions - have a special obligation, imo, to set an example. The same with hospitals.

I´m out of money! Dont want to borrow from anyone, so need to just go and lick the ashtray if I want any nicotine.

Smoking good for you don't make me laugh.

It's the gravy train people and Scientists are making big money.

danlisa · 04-04-07, 08:56 AM

Don't lick the ashtray, blah.

Shoot, there's a difference between going 'Cold Turkey' because you want to & because you have to.

Good Luck to you mate.

BRB - Going for a smoke!

My head hurts & my heart beats like crazy. Besides, coffee tastes like crap without a smoke to go with it.
