I agree, it's our body and if we feel like fucking up our lungs then so be it.

I think a lot of people want to get rid of smoking because:

1) It can be something that people start with, not anticipating the damage it does/addiction, but only realising later when they're already suffering repercussions.

2) The smoke smells disgusting to most non-smokers.


Personally I don't mind it, as long as they don't smoke up public places too much. I might have a cig or two on a night out, it goes well with drinking, no idea why.

I've always wondered why it goes well with drinking also.

Yeah it's weird.

I don't smoke at all on a daily basis. Doesn't appeal to me/too expensive/can't deal with the health issues.

But the moment I have a few drinks it seems like an awsome idea, it's just really fun when you're drunk.

At the end of the day smoking is bad for you,it gives you bad breath and smelly clothes and most of all it gives you cancer.

Yes but then you have the chance of getting addicted "Hey I'm still young just one more year". You may have been speaking metaphorically though.

I'm just saying that regardless of addiction, if you smoke while you're young but quit within a reasonable time frame, the long-term effects of smoking are almost always negligable.
