If the government KNOWS smoking kills people, then why do they still allow cig companies to exist?
The government could easily shut down these businesses that kill people. dont tell me about freedom of whatever, because the constitution says if it harms people then it loses its freedoms (companies)
well this money is the reason im a 19 year old guy that cries when i hear my dad coughing and trying to breathe. can we do something
Why do people constantly blame the government for their loved one dying of Cancer or Emphysema or other smoking related issues? I am not particularly fond of our government, but I do not think they should be blamed for someone’s smoking related illnesses. The companies that make the cigarettes do not force people to buy them, they merely make the product that people are now complaining is killing their loved ones.
I sympathize with you on your family’s struggle with your father’s illness, but you cannot blame the government or the companies that make the cigarettes. Did your father ask for their permission to smoke or did they FORCE him smoke? I am sorry to sound so unfeeling, but the blame should be placed where it belongs.

The Ugly Effects Of Smoking
Tobacco or cigarette smoking is an addictive habit which is quite popular among teenagers and young adults these days. Because cigarettes have large amount of nicotine (highly addictive drug) in order to get users hooked up. So there is no surprise that the millions people worldwide finding it really hard to quit smoking. Although the effects of smoking on our bodies are quite well known to both smokers and non-smokers people still getting hooked on smoking, and this addiction to nicotine and in many cases long term habit makes quitting really hard to most people.
Smoking is known to be a norm with in some social circles, especially among teenagers and young adults, and generally socially accepted this habit has no benefits to both smokers and non-smokers. Not only smoking is highly addictive and hooks you in spending lots of money on cigarettes, but also it can result in serious life threatening diseases and also it will result in less serious but still quite disgusting problems like bad breath, yellow teeth and fingers, bad skin etc. Also smoking effects not only the smoker but the people around the smoker as well because the smoke which getting emitted from your lungs contains huge amounts of poisonous chemicals which are quite bad for human health and the biggest problem of second-hand smoke is that in most cases it affects children around you.
The Ugly Effects of Smoking
Statistics shows that smoking is the most common reason for premature death among smokers. Statistics also shows that every year due to illnesses and diseases caused by smoking more than 400000 people die in the United States alone. And the really disturbing part of it is that fatalities also include children who are merely exposed to second-hand smoke from their parents or relatives. How would you feel if you knew that your smoking killed your child, think about it for a minute?
Did you know that when you smoke, every time you inhale, you actually inhaling more than 4800 different harmful chemicals, 69 of which are shown to trigger different cancer related diseases? Smoking is shown to be responsible for more than 90 percent of lung cancer fatalities in United States and also smoking is responsible for about 80-90 percent of fatalities from other respiratory diseases. If you manage to quit smoking the chances of lung cancer or other respiratory disease is dramatically reduced.
Also smoking does not only affect your respiratory system, smoking also attributed as a major cause of strokes, heart illnesses, and a number of other life threatening diseases. Statistics shows that every year a huge number of people are being diagnosed with life threatening diseases due to inhalation of smoke and what is quite alarming that the number includes both smokers and non-smokers so this is clearly shows that second-hand inhalation of cigarette smoke is nearly as bad as smoking itself.
Another alarming statistics shows that every year there are more and more young kids are treated for respiratory and coronary diseases as the result of second-hand smoke inhalation. Kids are more likely to have things like asthma, allergies, poor immune system and other nasty diseases in families where one or more parent or relative smokes then in a smoke free families. Also in smoking families it is much more likely that kids will start smoking as well when they get a bit older.
Also if you are a pregnant woman surrounded by smokers or a smoker yourself, your baby most probably will develop one or more of the following conditions, which will affect him for the rest of his/her life, weak heart and lungs with curtailed lung function and narrow air passages. In some cases smoking can also lead to premature birth or even death of a child. Do you want to kill your own baby or damage him/her for the rest of the life?
Other Negative Effects of Smoking
Aside from high risk of developing serious life threatening diseases as well as negative short term effects from smoking, you exposing yourself to other serious consequences when you smoking. These consequences include dental problems, hygiene problems etc.
You may think that smoking looks cool, but in reality smoking is very unhygienic. When you smoke your teeth tend to become yellow or even brown because of the tar deposits from cigarette smoke stay on your teeth. Also smoking results in higher risk of developing gum diseases and plague. And this can result in expensive procedures to get your mouth and teeth back into good condition.
Also smoking significantly increases the risk of losing your teeth. Medical statistics shows that the average tooth damage among smokers range 1.5 to 2.9 percent every 10 years. This means that if you were to start smoking when you 18 you are quite likely to lose about five teeth by the time you turn 35.
In addition to the above smoking shown to slow down healing process after injury or medical procedure. So not only you will have longer in a hospital or out of work but it will also cost you more.
And if everything mentioned above is not enough, smoking has a potential to ruin not only your health but also your physical appearance. Smoking tends to speed up the aging process which in turn makes your skin and hair look dull and aged. As a smoker you also tend to have more wrinkles but the worst part of smoking is that over time your hair and your body start to smell of smoke. And it takes a long time to get rid of that smell even if you quit smoking. Also as you can see all this will make you less attractive to the other gender and will highly reduce the chances of finding a partner.
It is your choice if you want to smoke or not but remember one thing in a long run there is a very high chance of causing serious damage to your body and I can relate to it as I was there. The good thing is I managed to quit in time.

If Smoking Is Bad and Kills Why Is It Still On The Market?
If Smoking is so bad why is it even being sold any more?
Its common sence Stop making it stop dieing!!
Also with Beer and Achohal, If it kills people then stop making it!!! Right?
So why is it still on the Market?
We already tried that…remember your U.S. History class, when you studied Prohibition?
It didn’t work…people made their own, smuggled it, drank all kinds of scary, crazy things that were brewed in the bathtub.
In truth, we’d save more lives if we legalized all narcotics…Keeping these illegal actually adds to the crime we’re faced with every day. A significant number of the bad guys out there are only doing bad stuff because they are on or are selling drugs.
We could also tax them, like we do with tobacco and alcohol, and bring a whole new revenue stream to the government.
Common sense says, regardless of whether they’re legal or not, don’t use them. We all have the ability to simply decline the offer, if it’s put in front of us.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
