If this holds,why are they smoking in Arizona?

na only sweet?
pure water nko?

stillwater:
Who's comparing smoking to sweets and chocolates?

are you"minding" them

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=179842.msg2904115#msg2904115 date=1223341743]Thatz ma own argument too but some people here are ready to shoot all smokers(passive included).

Smoking is different from chain-smoking.
There are seasonal smokers.
They only do it during the cold winter time.


Story!!!!

Same as sweets, bubble gums and chocolates!!!![/quote]they smoke in winter to keep warm
abeg
what are blankets and women for?

anyday overweight people begin to suddenly fall over and crush smaller people around them to death in alarming numbers it becomes my problem

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=179842.msg2904098#msg2904098 date=1223341408]Condemning smoking is like condemning people who over-eat!!
Too much of everything is bad, i agree.
However, too much food also would cause overweight, obesity, cholesterol levels going mad and death(eventually)!!![/quote]My argument hasn't changed
I don't care what they do if it didn't affect me.
That is my point

and your holy book is not against destructive behaviours
do you need a scripture?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=179842.msg2904074#msg2904074 date=1223340695]Bloody Liar!!!

Ya last boy/f in the UK was a chain smoker.
The excuse u gave then was u would change him. . . .
Did you??

Smoking is bad but alcohol kills more than smoking.
If smokers want to smoke, let them smoke.
Tolerance is the key here.[/quote]Isn't he now her ex?
there you go

okija was asking if we would divorce a man if he started smoking
It depends.
Would I divorce him if he strted doing crack or other addictive behaviours
maybe not right away but I'll know something is wrong since that was not the normal him.
I would stand by him and seek help to break the habit and if he insists he'll be gone

It's unbelievable.
I remember male classmates just take off in the middle of lectures as though they saw ghosts and afterwards you'll see them smoking at the kiosks on campus.How can I marry  a man that stinks and on top of that we could be doing the do and he just pulls out and jumps to the backyard to take a few puffs because "it's time"
An unpredictable man?
Tufiakwa!

KarmaMod:
Lmao don't know who these people think they are fooling.

Everyone knows Nigerians can be such wannabes. Most Nigerians that smoke in other countries do it to seem cool and "rebellious". as in "I'm so cooler than you guys that were told this and that" blah blah.

All that 'calm my nerves" and other nonsense is just cover up for how fake they are.

especially those bloody Nigerian Brits.

calm which nerves.
we don't have nerves in Nigeria
we are built strong.

if we had nerves, lack of nepa,water and plenty armed robbers would have killed everyone.
we're still doing owanbes and naming ceremonies and people are talking of nerves.
for where?

[quote author=Ruby_Pearl link=topic=179842.msg2904046#msg2904046 date=1223340086]I blame myself too jor.
Nonsense. . . . make she smoke her life away.
Comparing a car accident to smoking, that is just sad [/quote]when she gets lung cancer that[b] she brought on by her addiction[/b],she loses her job,her health insurance drops her,I pay for her care.
It is my problem.
She is robbing me

as long as they insist on puffing in open spaces where the rest of society dwells and using the earth as their ashtray,they are our problem.

This nicotine of a thing is more addicting than crack.
Come and see them around hospitals smoking through their tracheostomies.
Cancer patients puffing away through a hole in their necks.
It's disgusting
not even the scare of death can jumpstart their brains into nomalcy

[quote author=HR.hotness link=topic=179842.msg2904021#msg2904021 date=1223339604]and i repeat; my body, my cancer and aboslutely none of ur business!



_{cldnt resist. . . now i'm really off}  [/quote]when I have to work with you,sit beside you not by design,commute with you and inhale your "cancer" as I walk down the street then there's a problem.
It becomes a social ill.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=179842.msg2904000#msg2904000 date=1223339304]Alcoholism = drinking alcohol.
One would easily lead to the other.
U cannot be an alcoholic without taking alcohol.


It's the same thing.
4 pints alcohol is enough to impair one's judgement when driving.
Do you know how many people that have died as a result of DUI?[/quote]First off
I don't drink
I sought a man that doesn't drink
I got one.
My standards are high

But I know that one glass of wine every now and then will not kill.

jennykadri:
my lion is back,I'm off

make una continue dey argue who smoke and who no smoke,i will catch up in the morrow

I hope that lion is neither a joe six pack  abi 3 cartons  or a walking chimney

KarmaMod:
Yes I am. What's the difference between inhaling smoke and sniffing coke? Really what is the difference? The human body sees both are UNWANTED foreign things circulating in the blood. Both also lead to addictions.

So yea unlike your poor comparison before, mine makes sense.

No difference whatsoever.
They both die slowly and deny they have any problems.
The coke snorter at least kills himself but the smoker is also trying to kill me

I remember back in college in Naija,I got into a heated argument with this motor park tout who insisted at smoking in the buka while we were eating.
I asked him to go set himself on fire rather than kill others while he kills himself.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=179842.msg2903970#msg2903970 date=1223338737]Alcohol kills more people than smoking.
Does that mean u won't date a guy that drinks?[/quote]There's a difference between alcoholism and drinking alcohol.

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=179842.msg2903967#msg2903967 date=1223338669]So what would you consider an acceptable sacrifice??
A wife beater for a Smoker??
Or what??

Smoking is not as big a deal as most of you are making it out to be. Somke drink coffee, some smoke.[/quote]Neither.
A wife beater will kill me,a smoker will kill himself and kill me
Both spell death.

ibkaye:
Imagine, people are comapring death by smoking to death by car accident, smoking is your own choice, you know what is going to happen to you yet a lot of people still continue, you do not choose to get hit my a mad driver (unless ur head don scatter well), but normal sane people don't, what a comparison  

Exactly.
statistics tell us that kids who smoke are  more likely to indulge in many other addictive  and destructive behaviours like drugging,alcoholism.

Bad habits like smoking tells a lot about a man or woman.
Someone that would knowingly endanger their life has serious issues.
They cannot control their urges.
I betcha they are also lacking in many areas of life where discipline is required.
I wouldn't marry such a one

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=179842.msg2903920#msg2903920 date=1223337996][size=18pt]So I ask;

Are you willing to miss out on perfection just because he or she smokes??[/size][/quote]perfection that smokes?
ROFL
Ii's like asking if I can marry this perfect gentleman that farts impulsively

NO!

[quote author=Okija_juju link=topic=179842.msg2903912#msg2903912 date=1223337877]Is this the best arguement you could come up with?? Seriously, its better to shut the fuk up than to talk and display ignorance.[/quote]Thunder fire you and your charred lungs
idiot!

KarmaMod:


But osisi, don't you know that if smoking doesnt kill a person, auto accidents can?!

*rolls eyes* awon illiterate oshi.

ROFL.
at least if one was knocked down by a car,you died of an accident,if you were killed by lung cancer for smoking,you killed yourself

I would have knocked thefront teeth out of any black lipped,brown toothed smokers that came near me.
They stink like skunks
even all their tom tom can't take away that stinky breath

[quote author=HR.hotness link=topic=179842.msg2903880#msg2903880 date=1223337451]I can see the English language[b] isnt one of ur strongest suits[/b][/quote]and yours neither

Okija u don't smoke to calm any nerves if not your first cigarette would have done so.
You smoke because you're addicted to nicotine.
You're an addict.
Speak the truth to yourself

I hate smokers period.
I want them banished from my city.
The restaurants don chase them comot.
Our workplace has banned smoking within 100 metres of the campus so they now puff across the street in some remote corner
and it's automatic firing if caught smoking within or around the hospital
Airlines banished them since the nineties
They should cuddle up amongst themselves and smoke themselves to death

everytime allah allah allah
even on a totally unrelated thread, allah!

Our God is the only true God.
