smoking facts and statistics
How come its okay for children to put up with secondhand cigarette smoke but marijuana is illegal?

I dont smoke weed around most kids anyways, so i dont think weed is a drug to use around children too much.
But cigarettes are okay to use around kids. Most people who smoke cigs have done it before around them. Then some of them who smoke cigarettes act as if weed is a demon plant from hell. people have been brainwashed by the lies people spit out about marijuana.
Now i know that im gonna get some naive, watered down answer that doesnt show true facts and statistics that completely proves that weed is “addictive” or “a gateway drug,” or deadly.
So those of you out there that are naive to the true facts (because many out there are), the next time you see someone smoking a cigarette around a kid, or the next time you see someone getting sloppy drunk around a child, be as harsh on them about their LEGAL BUT DANGEROUS use of legal drugs around kids as much as you are about weed smokers: a drug that is basically harmless. Have a wonderful day.

If you hadn’t added all the additional details…. Aye.

Anyway!

This is a very good question, and goes along with mine about why it’s okay to let patients and visitors smoke on hospital grounds. It’s NOT okay.

Peace.

Alarming Smoking Facts… Adding To Paper Work?

Smoking facts read like fiction! Deaths due to smoking contribute a great deal to population control, even though this is a negative way to control population! You can read the warning printed on the cigarette packs: “Smoking is injurious to health.”

If we take an all-world picture, the statistics of deaths due to smoking looks like fantasy. But, who will give up smoking on the basis of statistics? They all know it. They desperately want to give up smoking, both from the health point of view and the financial point of view!

The topmost among the New Year Resolutions, is to give up smoking! Every year, for the last several years! Hope you have understood!

Why it is so difficult to give up smoking? Ask nicotine!

Smoking is an addiction. Since tobacco smoke contains this poisonous element, a near-impossible addictive substance to give up, the smoker’s plight is not condemnable, but pitiable!

But what is the fault of indirect smokers— the passive smokers? The smokers are providing free passports to them as well. And it is indeed a pity that this white-color crime goes unpunished!

Think of the family! There is every chance of children taking to the smoking habit, if the father is smoking. What a way to preserve unity in the family!

And what about women smoking, indeed pregnant women? Knowing well that it would badly affect the health of the baby that would be born! What a height of unconcern?

Therefore, tendering any amount of statistics, whether 4,000,000 die every year in the USA or 14,000,000 (this is a hypothetical figure) all over the world due to smoking is going to move which heart? Which Government? Can the UNO do something to stop this undeclared war?

The efforts to control smoking are all paper projects! Paper tigers! Can something tangible be done to save the situation? Perhaps no, with the present set of rules to protect the smokers and the strong lobby of tobacco manufacturers!

Weed vs. Alcohol?

There are so many people who are against the legalization of marijuana or the fact that some people smoke it period. But I see that the use of alcohol can have deadly effects as well.

It would be pointless to quote statistics of alcohol related deaths (drunk driving, liver disease…) because everyone knows that. You can drink, but not get drunk, but drinking leads to intoxication, and you can smoke and not get “blabbering idiot high”.

I personally don’t condone either for myself. But I would like to know what others think. If marijuana is illegal, then shouldn’t alcohol be illegal too?

No one has ever died from a overdose of marijuana! Marijuana has medical properties.
Both are good for you if used in moderation.
