It's currently illegal in all other EU countries, but apparently they're bringing it up again in the giant black hole of bureaucracy that is the EU, as it's more healthy than smoking.

Zorkmid commented that the smell of second hand smoke makes him physically ill. I have read other people comment on how nasty the smell of second hand smoke is. I am not arguing that sweating doesn't give cancer. I am saying that the smell of BO (sweat) is disgusting. As much or more than the smell of second hand smoke. That was what I commented on, so good job! | ||

I don't smoke anymore, but the thing I liked the most was that you stepped out and looked into the sky and got to really slow down and think about things, which I almost never did otherwise at the time. | ||

If you go full out blow job on the poor cig, yeah you'll cough. I started in high school when everything was new, big and lonely. I think the most common reason you start is for social reasons. You wanna make new friends, and instantly get into a group of people etc etc. It's pretty effective to be honest, and I made some friends I still have today even though we all quit smoking. Not too sure I would've made acquaintance with those people if I hadn't picked up smoking for a couple of years. While you're addicted, it's just another awesome feeling to have. It becomes another one of the natural needs like to poop, eat, have sex etc, and as with the others it feels great to satisfy. I think that's a big part of the charm in it. | ||

There are tons of rules and whatnot to both limit and discourage smoking. 99% of theme parks now have designated smoking areas, and the vast majority of bars prohibit smoking inside. There are, of course, exceptions like Las Vegas, but they are exactly that: exceptions. | ||

All the new friends I'd made were smokers, and eventually, I just picked it up. It's a dumb reason, I know. To be honest, it only takes a few cigarettes before you're used to it and it no longer bothers you. Beyond that, they are relaxing to an extent. If you're under a lot of stress, being able to take a quick five minute smoke break can be great. It's a horrible, deceptive, and deadly product, and the tobacco companies are honestly just pure evil. Quitting is ridiculous. | ||

Smoking is also prohibited within twenty feet of all windows/doors/vents/openings into public buildings in the state of California. Any kind of advertising is prohibited for tobacco and related products except where they are immediately sold. All cigarette packs are marked by warnings from the Surgeon General of possible health effects. All cigarette packs sold are taxed something like three times to drive up the price of cigarettes. As of fairly recently, all films reviewed by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America, the group that gives out age ratings to American films) that feature smoking are immediately given an "R" (no admittance unless accompanied by someone over the age of seventeen) rating (exceptions are films where the smoking holds historical significance, like for instance if smoking were part of the image of the subject of a biopic). And I'm sure there are more. There are tons of rules and whatnot to both limit and discourage smoking. 99% of theme parks now have designated smoking areas, and the vast majority of bars prohibit smoking inside. There are, of course, exceptions like Las Vegas, but they are exactly that: exceptions. Actually only 48% of the population in the US lives under a ban for bars as well, so I dunno about that. | ||

I would bet on fat people. That's a pointless debate since most smokers tend to think that cigarette is the best thing that has ever happened to them and that they have more friends now that before and they're so cool. God they stink. Is that a French thing? I have never met someone who said that picking up smoking did great things for them. I have met some who didn't think it was a big deal either way, but most smokers I've talked to said that picking up the habit was one of their greatest regrets. It's a trend thing when you're young. Nobody older than 30 told me that it was great and they all regret it. | ||
