Okay. My point is that not everything scientists say about everything is correct. If what you say about the sun is true why don't we hear about people catching cancer from sun exposure?

So how do you know smoking causes lung cancer if its not from the same scientists you say are not correct. You don't get to cherry pick facts.

LordReed:

No nah. I created the thread to ask why people still smoke and why cigarettes are still sold when such a side effect is known.

Well how do you know that the side effect is as stated?

LordReed:


Well how do you know that the side effect is as stated?

I don't understand...

Hismasterpiece:


I don't understand...

How do you know smoking is harmful and causes lung cancer?

LordReed:


How do you know smoking is harmful and causes lung cancer?

Based on facts concluded on by your beloved scientists.

Hismasterpiece:


Based on facts concluded on by your beloved scientists.

So why are these facts not guesswork?

LordReed:


So why are these facts not guesswork?

That's the reason for my curiosity. If indeed all smokers died young, the government even would have banned cigarettes and we would have less smokers.

Hismasterpiece:


That's the reason for my curiosity. If indeed all smokers died young, the government even would have banned cigarettes and we would have less smokers.

Where did they tell you that all smokers die young?

And you didn't even answer the question. I asked why you think the fact you are bellyaching about is correct but when I tell you some other fact you want to discard it. What makes the cancer warning for smokers more acceptable to you?

The cancer warning isn't more acceptable to me. I'm just curious about it.

Hismasterpiece:


The cancer warning isn't more acceptable to me. I'm just curious about it.

LoLz! If you think the warning is guesswork why are you curious? Won't it be obvious why people would ignore the warnings?

LordReed:


LoLz! If you think the warning is guesswork why are you curious? Won't it be obvious why people would ignore the warnings?

That's what 8ve been trying to say since... If it is in fact true.. Why do we still have many smokers? Even many who live long..

Hismasterpiece:

You are contradicting yourself. You can't say maybe this fact is true then when I present you with a different fact you want to be picky. Facts are facts they don't care about your curiosity or lack thereof.

LordReed:

OK.. But we can't believe all 'facts' that scientists inform us with.

Hismasterpiece:


OK.. But we can't believe all 'facts' that scientists inform us with.

So what criteria do you use to determine which fact to believe?

LordReed:


So what criteria do you use to determine which fact to believe?

Scripture

Hismasterpiece:


Scripture

Where in scripture does it say smoking causes cancer?

Meanwhile I can show you from the same scripture that there is reason to believe the sun can be harmful.

Hismasterpiece:


Okay na.. stop drinking clean water and go and be drinking water from a river or tap and see which will kill you faster

Lol, I just started following the tread,
You must be a really dumb person or you just choose to be ignorant

Hismasterpiece:
I found this empty cigarette pack on the floor today. It clearly states a warning about smoking. It shows the difference between the lungs of a smoker and a non smoker.

My question is this: Why do people still ignore this warning and smoke? And why do cigarette companies still, with this knowledge sell cigarettes?

first answer: people that smoke derive a feeling from it,but unfortunately, that feeling wears off,so they have to smoke to have that feeling.
Second answer:I once read in a book, that a Christian group organized and took the tobacco company to court and made them have that on every cigarettes pack.

Hmm.. OK.. But if it Is indeed true, why hasn't the government banned cigarettes?

No need for insults tho.. You can make your point without it.

Lol.. Show me

I asked first.

Scripture doesn't say smoking causes cancer.. But we know from scripture that the average man is under Satan's deception and therefore everything that he says as a result of his own subjective opinion cannot entirely be trusted..

LoLz. So basically your OP is pointless since we can't trust anything humans say. You seem to like to contradict yourself. Bwahahahahaha!

LordReed:

I'm not saying we can't trust anything humans say. What I'm saying is that some or even most facts may be more subjective than objective.

Hismasterpiece:

And I asked how you can know and you said scripture the same that says nothing about smoking. LoLz.

LordReed:


And I asked how you can know and you said scripture the same that says nothing about smoking. LoLz.

How can scripture address smoking directly? Obviously it can't except in a prophetic setting. But it does address the nature of man. And we know that man is by nature deceived by Satan and so we can't trust everything he says.

The book that you said will help you figure it out says nothing about it so are you going to know about smoking or any other fact?

Don't be ridiculous. The Bible clearly warns against destroying the body which is the temple of God. Cigarettes clearly come in that category or is it giving you vitamin C?
