What is your opinion on smoking?

[MsRaintree]

Smoking is really dangerous not only to the active smoker but to the innocent passive smoker as well. I understand that we don't have to mind other people's business but as far as smoking is concerned, I know that it's affecting even the non-user so I believe that when a person smoke beside you, (some would politely ask if we mind their smoking and some will not) we have the right to say that we do mind.

Well I don't support smoking and I hate smokers. It is very dangerous to our health and is complete wastage of money. I've never smoked and suggest all the smokers to quit smoking too.

I strongly dislike smoking. If I walk past someone in the street who's smoking I try to hold my breath, I can't stand breathing it in.

It's your own choice, but do you know the consequences? and do you know the danger that your giving to the people around you?

Yup, I agree with you. Smokers and non-smokers alike should be polite because, after all, we are all human.

Ugh! I can't believe all the 'smoking is not good for your health' and 'you should never smoke' comments. Please people, there are so many things that are bad for the health that smoking is not such a big deal. If you make the choice not to smoke, don't preach to everyone else not to. Like I said, people smoke for their own personal reasons just like those who drink, eat too much and become overweight, do drugs, or waste food/energy/etc. Everything can become bad and harmful to others if you practice it improperly. Even if the physical effects aren't harmful to others, if you die, your family and friends will suffer.

Why can't people just worry about their own lives and not intrude so much into others'? As long as smokers are respectful and considerate, I don't see a problem. You can be a non-smoker and die at a young age from many other ways so death is not even an issue here. You die when you're meant to die.

I was smoking outside the mall this afternoon and came upon an old lady smoking. We had a small chat. She told me a lot of people are telling her to stop smoking. She usually answers back with this as I quote her " Mind your own business. This is my only vice and I've aged and still no sign of illness!To top it all, it's my money that I spend not yours." -- lol... just wanna share it with u guys...

hhmmmmm... I'm not a smoker. I can't find any good and valid reason to support smoking and to try it myself. For me its like killing yourself. Its not necessary, you can still live life without smoking. Your shutting doors on many opportunities when you do smoke.
