Smokers

[BanginJimmy]

Why do you get upset when I call you drug addicts, fiends, and hypes? Itsnt that what you are? Twice this past week I almost got into fights with smokers for using those terms.

Is it different if you smoke on gunja?

I can see how people get offended by being called a drug addict if you are a smoker of cigarettes because the term "drug addict" or "fiend" is usually reserved for people who take, use, and abuse what the normal population consider drugs. Nicotine is in fact a drug so you are not wrong when calling them that.

Me on the other hand....I could give two fucks less what you call me. Something that minor does not offend me. Chances are, if I know you do not smoke, I won't smoke around you out of respect.

Smoking.....ugh. Although I find it gross to all people, I find it even more disgusting seeing a female doing it. Looks completely trashy seeing a woman smoke.

Smoking is one of this things I never understood. You actually WANT to smell like shit? You WANT decaying, stained teeth and bad breath? You WANT to vastly increase your chances of developing several cancers and other diseases? Unless they answer yes to these questions, how can smokers not be lumped into the same category as dope fiends and crack heads?

It is a type of .............addiction to some degree. It is deadly, but people do it anyway.

Its not a type of addiction. It is a full blown chemical addiction. The only difference between crack or cocaine and cigs is the legality.

I have blown off more than a couple women simply because they were smokers.

I'm assuming youre talking about cig smokers, but it becomes an even more volatile topic with weed smokers.

Cacaine has fewer side effects than cigs.

I think smokers get upset because they define the term 'drug' to be a substance that take one out of his/her normal state of mind. As you may know, this is not true for cigarette smokers. There is a difference between the two. This is why they get upset and it's a valid reason.

Obama smokes, so it must be good for you.

Considering the fact that every drag you take on a cig causes brain damage, I think you are wrong.

Oh and its a fact that cig smokers are generally dumber than non cig smokers.

MooShell wouldnt let him smoke if it was dangerous.

Do you have verified information to back this claim up? This is a real question and not meant to be taken as me being an asshole.

Being a smoker myself, I don't see myself as being any smarter or dumber than a non-smoker.

Read it on the news and the interwebs so it must be true. I am not doubting your political or news intelligence so don't take this the wrong way but I think that's horse shit. No two people are the same when it comes to knowledge or power of the mind. No two people have the same learning curve. One may learn something faster or slower than the next person. One may learn something that the next person never will and vice versa not because they may or may not smoke but because no two people will learn on the same level. Everyone has their strong points and weaknesses when it comes to learning.

This is why I pointed out that it was generally speaking. Of course not everyone is the same, but speaking in general terms, scientific research has shown smokers have a lower intelligence than non smokers and smoking causes brain damage.

Not me. I was always a strong point when it came to learning. Everyone else was always weaker than me.

Especially smokers. It's actually a proven fact that I'm smarter, intellectually and common sense-wise, than all smokers.

Those test results were also taken out on laboratory animals and the Israeli army. Israel is lower than the US on the National IQ Scores data and rats are animals that can't be considered on the same IQ level as humans.

This is a topic that could go on and on and on and become nothing but a e-cock size up topic. I am simply trying to find out where you are coming from

There is a reason researchers use rats for testing.

Its not like they are comparing Israeli smokers to American non smokers. Jut because it was a study done is Israel doesnt mean the results wouldnt hold true here.


Despite similar environmental conditions, non-smoking siblings achieved higher IQs than their smoking brothers.

No reason to get defensive.

[Doppelgänger]

I'd be more worried about the overweight fat fucks in this country than the smokers.

lol. Funny how the American way is to think of it as having 2 choices, be either a smoker or a fat fuck.

[Vteckidd]

Obesity is much bigger than smoking from what i have seen.

Smoking is very negative and looked on as the not norm. Obesity on the other hand................

[Doppelgänger]

....not to mention people get away with claiming obesity as a "disability".
