I don't smoke. . . . . . .Just making a case for them.


Sex is worse than smoking.
Smoking affects smokers and other people but think about what unprotected sex can cause.
Abortion, veneral diseases and the HIV. . . . .  

Why are you making a case for something that could potentially kill you.
Go and marry a smoker and then tell us the result of your health in the next 20 years.

Sex is better than smoking by far!
You can still protect the effects of sex by using CDs and birth control pills.
You can't protect the effects of smoking with anything.

Besides sex is much more pleasurable than perceiving that useless odour.  

P.S: You're trying to get into HR's undies? oh my gosh. . . where has your game gone to?

Secondhand smoke, also know as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), is a mixture of the smoke given off by the burning end of a cigarette, pipe or cigar and the smoke exhaled from the lungs of smokers. It is involuntarily inhaled by nonsmokers, lingers in the air hours after cigarettes have been extinguished and can cause or exacerbate a wide range of adverse health effects, including cancer, respiratory infections, and asthma.1

Secondhand smoke has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a known cause of cancer in humans (Group A carcinogen).2


Secondhand smoke exposure causes disease and premature death in children and adults who do not smoke. Secondhand smoke contains hundreds of chemicals known to be toxic or carcinogenic, including formaldehyde, benzene, vinyl chloride, arsenic ammonia and hydrogen cyanide.3


Secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 22,700-69,600 heart disease deaths in adult nonsmokers in the United States each year.4

Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke at work are at increased risk for adverse health effects. Levels of secondhand smoke in restaurants and bars were found to be 2 to 5 times higher than in residences with smokers and 2 to 6 times higher than in office workplaces.5


Since 1999, 70 percent of the U.S. workforce worked under a smoke-free policy, ranging from 83.9 percent in Utah to 48.7 percent in Nevada.6   Workplace productivity was increased and absenteeism was decreased among former smokers compared with current smokers.7


Nineteen states - Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Washington and Vermont - as well as the District of Columbia prohibit smoking in almost all public places and workplaces, including restaurants and bars. Montana and Utah prohibit smoking in most public places and workplaces, including restaurants; bars will go smokefree in 2009. New Hampshire prohibits smoking in some public places, including all restaurants and bars. Four states - Florida, Idaho, Louisiana and Nevada - prohibit smoking in most public places and workplaces, including restaurants, but exempt stand-alone bars. Fifteen states partially or totally prevent (preempt) local communities from passing smokefree air ordinances stronger than the statewide law. Nebraska and Oregon have passed legislation prohibiting smoking in almost all public places and workplaces, including restaurants and bars, but the laws have not taken effect yet.8


Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to young children. Secondhand smoke is responsible for between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children under 18 months of age, resulting in between 7,500 and 15,000 hospitalizations each year, and causes 430 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) deaths in the United States annually.9


Secondhand smoke exposure may cause buildup of fluid in the middle ear, resulting in 790,000 physician office visits per year.10  Secondhand smoke can also aggravate symptoms in 400,000 to 1,000,000 children with asthma.11


In the United States, 21 million, or 35 percent of, children live in homes where residents or visitors smoke in the home on a regular basis.12   Approximately 50-75 percent of children in the United States have detectable levels of cotinine, the breakdown product of nicotine in the blood.13


Research indicates that private research conducted by cigarette company Philip Morris in the 1980s showed that secondhand smoke was highly toxic, yet the company suppressed the finding during the next two decades.14


The current Surgeon General’s Report concluded that scientific evidence indicates that there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Short exposures to secondhand smoke can cause blood platelets to become stickier, damage the lining of blood vessels, decrease coronary flow velocity reserves, and reduce heart rate variability, potentially increasing the risk of heart attack.15

A real menace to soceity.
Don't want it on my bed either

I can't date a smoker let alone marry one.
All i am saying is they are not the real McCoy as far as threat to mankind is concerned.
Malaria kills more than tobacco in Africa.
Go and address that.

It's not that simple.

Some people's sex smell worse than tobacco.

Mo ma rogo ke!
If you cannot date or marry a smoker, why are you attacking me for saying the exact same thing?
There is nothing wrong with a smoker shey? Why can't you date a smoker then?
They are threats to new born babies and innocent bystanders. If they wanna kill themselves, let them do so but they are putting more ppl in danger than just themselves

Sex is easier to control than second hand tobacco smoke.

About the smell of sex - ewwwwwwwwww, thanks for putting that image in my head.

Ma point of view is simple!!!
I cannot marry a smoker neither do i condemn them.
Smoking is okay for the people that smoke tobacco. Who are we to say they are wrong for doing it.
The law permits it so whatz the problem?

The more u look the less you see.

@ J-gurl,

Simply put, i understand why they do it.

I can't marry a smoker. The issue of 2nd hand smoking is HUGE.

Let smokers marry one another.
Happy Cigarette Life!!!

Alright i do understand you right now, but i also want you to know if the law is not against their action, is the law going be the one who will suffer the consequence and also you and i know very well that smoking enable many people to die at a younger age, i do not said they can smoke either so far he/she is not close to me neither my home we dont have anything to say so much but if we want to be our brothers keeper like God said we should be, let call a spade a spade and let us all put our mind together and tell the person who's guilty of smoking to limit it, Like i said earlier i know guys who smoke once or twice within two weeks, its not that they are smoking just like that but they have passion for doing it and you can see that's a bit normal, the worse part of it is the 12-16 year old guys of today count smoking to be  the best way of proving they are getting to the adult stage, makes me feel so bad when i see them anytime and inshort to be sincere with you I hate any person who have two of his Finger behind a stick in his mouth more than Satan

Don't u think there are more potential threats to mankind than tobacco smoking. . . . .

Lets learn to be tolerant!!!!
Smoking is bad just as gluttony, excessive drinking, whoring, womanising and so on and so forth.
Do u hate obese people or womanisers than Satan too??

Everything Kills not only smoking. Cocacola or Pepsi kills ask someone who had diabetes. Sex kills. I have seen smokers who lived to the age of 90 and above the former King of Lagos and former Labour leader Pa Imodu were heavy smokers and they lived till close to 100years.

Not ethical? According to whom. Go to any organsation(Not Churches) Most top executives smoke so what is ethical and what is not?

Smoking does not mean anything and its no different from drinking and other vices

Please, can a modey block this thread?
Ppl just can't embarrass themselves better than this.

I just want you to know that tobacco, smoking, and more are much more dangerous to health, if ur careful with womanising its a bit better than smoking, but all whats you have counted above have their own positive and negative, I said it earlier that a friend smoke twice in a month or there about and you can see someone else smoking almost a carton under 12 hours, they are all smokers but it has pattern of doing it, the guy started smoking when he join clubbing stuff and that, he was unable to say no when friends introduce it to him,, but at the same time he know in his inner mind that its really not the best thing if you want us to talk on womanising and all that get a thread for it, right now,, we are talking and deliverating on smoking lets just make it known that smoke/smoking is not 40% okay, dayo you mention names, you and i know that shango is not powerful to those people you mention before. let me not go further on that if i tell you  much about ur past presido u go just bow upon sey him know be smoker

No, duh. Of course everything kills.
That does not certify one to indulge in smoking.
esp. when it can endanger innocent people.
Drinking is not better. You drink, get drunk, get into a car, not caring who or how many people is on your victim list. Or even if the woman or man has a family awaiting his/her return. Sad is it not.
Life is hard and painful, why fuel the pain by smoking?
