Cigarettes?

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

oh god... forget it... you win... I'm done with this thread

[RavesIsBack]

better go light up


never smoked, never will

[narwhal]

It's not free will if information is held from you. You can't sell someone a machine that will kill them instantly when they use it without warning them. However, you can sell cigarettes to people without telling them that it will pretty much kill them.

Or wait is it free will? Does free will require knowledge to make an educated choice? Or does free will exist with or without knowledge? Nar or Bart, comments?

Free Will requires knowledge now if the government pulls a New York and taxes the shit out of tobacco then that is totalitarianism.

[RavesIsBack]

free will requires choice

[Walruz996]

Is someone pulling a Clinton?

Next step is to smoke a vaginal cigar.

I am so tempted to post the literal video of this...

[GnipGnop]

But it was just getting good.

Who said anything about the government?

i'll give you a nickel for ever smoker that doesnt think that smoking might lead to cancer.

[narwhal]

Yeah like private groups will give that knowledge. Do they have the power to make them put labels on products or even teach kids knowledge in school? I think the govt has to come into play with knowledge at times.

What I'd rather have is a nickel for every smoker who started smoking without knowing how insanely dangerous it is to themselves and to others.

In fact, we could split it and probably still both be millionaires.

[GnipGnop]

Check it.

People started collecting the pictures when they first started in Canada.

[narwhal]

I am surprised the US was the first.

i know i havent been alive a whole long time, but before i could even remember i knew smoking was bad and i told myself id never do it. my dad smoked and i remember him coming to kiss me goodnight (on the forehead you homo) and i smelled it and thought "i really hope he quits cause thats bad." was probably 5ish? with all the TRUTH commercials and how smoking is pretty much getting banned how could anyone think its not bad for them? it says it on the box!

So by smelling your dads rank ass breath, you concluded when you were 5 years old that cigs may lead to serious health issues in the future?

Also, cigs didn't always have warnings or advertising saying they aren't good for you.

Oh man I could buy a nice meal every day for a pack and a half.
I don't know how you afford it.

that was just more of a story. i knew they were bad for you i just remember that moment about my dad smoking.

well i dont think people knew how bad it really was until later years. back in the 60s and 70s everyone smoked and everywhere too. (this is info i got from my parents that lived then, obviously i dont know that from first hand expirience.)

[aaron?]

I do occasionally, maybe 5-6 a month. I only do it after work, and I don't pay for them.

[fireball]

ive never smoked a cigerette in my life. i hate the smell and havnt ever had to urge to smoke a cig. but i do smoke cigars here and there. i love the taste and its so chill sitting with friends and having a good cigar

[hobo]

never done cigs
dont plan on it

weeeeeeeeeeeed

[fireball]

i smoke weed everyday! iss all i do. i dont give a frack!

[fireball]

#2,000 mother fracker!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[polska]

I hate smoking purely for the smoke. I forgot how good it was in FL when you could not just smoke in businesses. In Virginia the shit is outrageous.

I moved to Florida from Virginia I love how there is no smoking or nonsmoking option in restaurants down here

[narwhal]

Yeah actually I just heard it's being debated in the state house. This is like the 10th time. Tobacco Companies have to much power in this state.

[MDskimmerMAtt]

yeah especially with the marlboro factory being right in Richmond.

[narwhal]

I am actually thinking about applying for a legal internship with Philip Morris in Richmond. I think Richmond has more tobacco company buildings than any other city.

[Luff]

Richmond sucks.

[narwhal]

It's a bitch to drive from Williamsburg but it's a fun town.

[J. Saunders]

read the first page... I agree with the one person who said...

WHATT is attractive about htem... U spend soo much money onn them and ur paying for moviing closer to lung cancer. Oh and it smells like shit. Ive never tried one ever. Although ive smoked cigars like a handful of times so i guess thats kinda close without the nicotine. I did that mainly cause me and my friends would sit around hammered just trying to blow smoke rings.

[Blak_skimmer220]

I haven't ever smoked anything and don't plan on it. Horrible habit and I do lose respect for people i find out do it. Not saying they are bad people, i just don't think it was a wise decision.

except this one time i smoked one of those big pretzel sticks....hahahhaha

[J. Saunders]

thats ironic i did that at a party one time... just took a puff to see if it would light. hahaha crazy

I don't mean to sound like an asshole, it's just me being curious with this question. How do you get over the fact that you'd be working for a company that knowingly sells a product linked to so many deaths?

Again, I'm just curious. I'm not trying to imply anything else.

[Walruz996]

Clearly you don't know the flexibility of Robs' morals.
