But i don't feel there should be any government control over when or where you can smoke. If a resteraunt or bar want's to allow smoking then they should have the right to do so.. It's really all about the fed chipping away at your rights as a human to make your own choices. They raise taxes, limit where you can do it, raise the age limit, fine tobacco companies, place fines on smoking in public places etc. etc.. The same way they force motorcyclists to wear helmets wheter they want to or not. The same way you're forced to wear a seatbelt wheter or not you want to. the nanny state is getting a tad out of control. even i can smell this troll | ||

Smokers get lambasted in the media and by government, so should overweight people who choose to do nothing about their health. It sounds harsh but I agree with you. Being lazy certainly was the reason why I became fat and the choice to change is the reason why I'm dropping weight now. The argument that the most important thing is "to feel well in your body" kind of breaks when people become obese. You might be able to suppess the thoughts abot your unhealthy body but it simply becomes impossible to feel well. | ||

I casually smoke like once per month, and snus/snuff also, but I´ve never felt the rush to continue. you need to smoke every day for a longer period of time, doing it once in a while doesnt get you addicted. I do the same thing, smoke every now and then but not every day. and also: both obesity and smoking are choices that people make (unless you suffer from a medical condition that makes you fat like hypothyroidisim or cushing's syndrome) | ||

I didn't gain weight, but it's true i enjoy more what i eat, that would be an incentive. There are really no reasons not to quit, needing a cigarette to do something anyone else can do without (losing weight, socializing, getting rid of stress) is just a secondary addiction deriving from the primary. Also no reason to harm your health for purely physiological effects. It probably makes more sense to do hallucinogens than cigs. | ||

Also, I think your point is a little thin, because what % of people with a really high body fat % do you think are physically fit? | ||

You have less energy, your taste and smell are less sensitive and what not. The same goes for obesity, especially severe obesity (because you'll sweat just moving around). The less of a healthy lifestyle you have the less energy you'll have aswell. | ||
