You're right - because it's already been cured. White-cell cloning, stem cell research, and finding a way to genetically alter tumor cells to return to normal have all been demonstrated, within the past 2 months, to eradicate cancer in studies.

It doesn't matter whether or not smoking is bad for someone - my usual routine before I light up is to say something like "well, time to go die a little".

I don't smoke because it's cool. I smoke so I won't self-righteously impose on others and call them naive and idiotic with little to no actual knowledge of where they stand on the issue. Smoking keeps me from getting stressed, and to me that means I'll be able to get 70 years' worth of living done in the 50 years I have left to live.

You should probably go send Dameon Angell a private message to tell him that he is naive and idiotic for living in Los Angeles, where the smog is proven to cause lung and heart problems in the population. Perhaps I will go to my representative and see if I can get people banned from living in Los Angeles - or at least get "WARNING LIVING HERE WILL KILL YOU" labels posted on every building and billboard, as well as adding a 10% tax to everything sold there.

Smoking might be good - it might be bad - it doesn't matter. Some individuals succumb to cancers, others live to be older than even most non-smokers. I myself probably can't run mmore than 500 feet without dying - but I never run or jog, so how much of that is due to smoking as opposed to my generally unfit lifestyle? My brother smokes a pack a day and he's only getting better and better as a soccer player - winning his high school's State division, his select team's State division, and several awards in the Olympic Youth Development Program.

So when I'm on my deathbed, I'll give you a call and tell you smoking was bad for me - if you're still alive.

No Jerome I’m not being self righteous in pointing out what you said was stupid. I really don’t care if you smoke or not but don’t pretend there is no ill effects from it or that in the future it will have no impact on long term health due to improved medical techniques. To go, they will cure cancer so I don’t care about the health risks of smoking, shows either ignorance or idiocy. As I’ve said there are many other effects even if they did completely cure cancer. The positive research article you read shows that there is more hope in the future for those unfortunate to develop cancer, not we have cured cancer it isn’t a serious disease in 20-30 years time.


If you don’t care about the health risks because you are a bad ass that knows no fear saying “well, time to go die a little” before you light up. That’s up to you and personally to me smacks of someone quite insecure trying to look cool. Though you say it’s to keep you from getting stressed, pretty sure no doctor would prescribe cigarettes for that, maybe a vallium or something if it was really bad.

That was me being self righteous.


As for smog that is a different issue. People have to live and work and many don’t have the luxury of a choice of location. I’d welcome tighter pollution laws aimed at further improving air quality.

I know it got buried in my post but-

I'm pretty sure camel cigarettes have these already, at least their "flavored" ones. I'm not sure what they're called anymore, but I know the ones that came in the tins had the flavor balls in the filters.

i thought if you stopped smoking before the age of 25 your body could recover for the most part. i haven't researched it nor do i really care, but if that's the case then i would like you to quit smoking in 5 years jerome because i don't want either of these things to happen:

yes this is pretty much true. In fact, you could quit at age 50, assuming you haven't already developed the cancer, and pretty much recover lung-wise. A doctor told me this, so it has some weight (he aint the best dr. though). As for the other effects of smoking (see wrinkles, heart problems, others) they don't go away.

And yes domestic tobbacco has some nasty shit in it - my friend found a strip of what looked like aluminum (coulda been any light, shiny metal) in his cigarette one time. He only found it cause it broke, i wonder how many others had shit in them.

You'd have me rather pop benzo's instead of smoke - and you're calling me an idiot?
