Smoke Weed Everyday, It keeps the Dr away.

Hahaha God bless the internet... Hey guys did you know that people die? I know right, HUMAN people die. The most super awesome species and lets face it, the reason the universe exists and we all fucking die??? Somethings gotta be done about this. STOP smoking, drinking, doing drugs, having fun, Eating anything, touching anything, breathing anything, Be sure to wear an anti radiation suit at all times AND STILL DIE OF CANCER or some equally rubbish disease! Pretty cool trick but seriously grow up.. We need to act now so make those babies cut down those trees, burn some fuel, solve this "death" problem and lets get crowded. WEEEEW HEALTH!

I'd like to point out that this whole thing sparked because I said a sentence-long joke, and everyone got all defensive over it.

honestly, anyone defending smoking is a dumbass anyways
..... just sayin

Nice trick. Hopes he gets to impress many ladies with it ;)

Let's see if he can guide the cancer out of his body by hand as well

I don't smoke, but...

If someone eats a cheeseburger from a fast food place, or eats a KFC pot pie (which has 17g of trans fats), or jumps from a perfectly fine aircraft, or drinks excessively... you people are nowhere to be found. We all get it. Smoking is bad for you. It gives you cancer. But so does plastic in microwaves, petrol products, household cleaning chemicals, pesticides, etc... . Hell, most meat gives you heart disease of one stripe or another. You people use smoking as this high fucking horse to get on, every time it is mentioned, ever. It's obnoxious.

So if you are going to crusade against people minding their own fucking business, do it equally and on all fronts of health and wellness. Or don't, I don't care. Just don't be a twat about this one thing.

Down votes incoming, but that's fine... It needed to be said.

So? If you know that it's bad for you, then don't smoke it. All of the situations you mentioned, if used/eaten/etc correctly won't have adverse health effects.

Smokers sure love their strawman arguments. Enjoy the cancer which could have easily been avoided by not smoking.

enjoy your colon cancer which could have been easily avoided by not shoving random objects you find on the street up your booty......
seriously though you turned a post about a cool trick into your personal crusade against smokers....good for you!

Cry more

I think the complaint is that smoke passes to people second-hand, whereas the other ones you listed aren't as easy to pass on. Unless you're a fetus or something, you aren't going to be eating KFC pot pie second-hand or drinking second-hand. The choice to smoke directly affects people around you rather than indirectly.

Second-hand smoke effects are minimal, if any. There's very little evidence supporting it's existence.

My "complaint" as you decided to label it, is that smokers are jokers, and WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS (well, a little bit).

Not to rain on the misinformation-parade, but according to science you are wrong.

My condolensces for your loss of the debate.

I present the following evidence against your unfounded claim:

Okay, so I was misinformed.

How does providing evidence of secondhand smoke ruin my argument, when my view is "smoking is gross lol"? Surely it just adds to my argument.

Flippin' moron. Thanks for making my argument against smoking stronger than I previously thought it was, you sure showed me!

I'll try to remember that the next time some a-hole fills the room with that crap, or in the case of those cigar suckers, smoke one of those in a 5 block radius. Even if there aren't any effects, which I highly doubt, those things can't be good for anyone, first-had =or= second-hand.

Personally, I don't care if someone smokes or not, that's their business, but try to keep it to yourself for crying out loud.

But let's face it, most smokers don't care about that, now do they? They're just puffing that carcinogenic crap everywhere they goddamn please, as long as the police don't say anything about it....

I don't know anyone who smokes wherever they god damn please because it's illegal to smoke anyone within a 20 foot radius of entryways, and in buildings you don't own. (aside from certain bars/Dennys). You're way too sensitive.

Smokers love MUH FREEDOMS argument, both my parents smoke so I've grown up with it. I have a lot of experience in the matter.

What they don't understand is cigarette smoke fucking stinks. It REALLY stinks. We don't "hate on smokers" because HIGH HORSES ARGLBARGLBARHFD, we "hate on smokers" because the activity they partake in smells awful, and they have the nerve to get up in your face about it when they're called out on it. Ridiculous stuff. That's how I feel, anyway.

You wouldn't tolerate a guy who constantly farts in the booth or airplane seat beside you, so why would you want to tolerate someone who smokes in the same situation?

I would tolerate someone who farts in an airplane, because I'm not going to expect him to hold it for our 4 hour flight.

You must have a really loose butthole, then.

I just noticed I can see people replying to my stuff.
No, it can just be uncomfortable to hold in gas as it builds up. To the intestines. It's not an issue of being able to hold it.
