If you had the power to, would you make smoking illegal?
I personally would. It smells bad, it's bad for you, it's bad for everyone around you, it ruins the environment. A friend of mine, who has asthma, almost died because of a smoker in my old neighborhood. I don't se the appeal in even starting. (I know that it's addictive because of nicotine but why even start?)

9 RepliesNo because smokers will find someway to purchase it, illegal or not. Then god only knows what drug dealers would put in it.
-
Yes. I have asthma and a lot of my family smokes. Smoking is unhealthy, disgusting, annoying and I think that we should get rid of it.

2 RepliesEver heard of the prohibition? Same thing would happen with cigs. You know that black guy that was choked to death by police in NYC? Yea, he was peddling bootleg cigs for cheaper price because they're like $10 a pack in NY. Hey guys! Let's make more things illegal so there's more laws and more money/effort needed to enforce those laws and prosecute the perps and put more people in jail and stuff! We can just outlaw bad things and the world will be a happy place! Yaaaaaay!

Personally hate smoking, it gross. However, that's me. If others want to that's their problem. Honestly, if someone wants to inject herion in their eye I'm okay with it as long as they don't threaten someone elses rights (life, liberty, property or happiness) no-one should be able to tell them no. As long as they're an adult (which should be at whatever age they are allowed to join that countries armed forces). Just my opinion though.

Ehh too much stuff is illegal. Why the fcck should I be punished if I don't wanna wear a seatbelt? Who the fcck is that hurting?
-
Yes but only for public places. I know there's signs and stuff but I mean like everywhere where there is going to be other people. If you're at you're house, or a friends house with there permission then yes you can smoke
-
I should be allowed to do whatever the -blam!- I want. You're still going to die of cancer anyway
-
Depends, Cancersticks(cigarette) yes, but weed? No.
-
*lights cigarette* Nope.

There is a lot worse things in this world then smoking
-
it should be illegal to smoke in public
-
I think smoking it's just dumb It does't do anything but bad things to you That's why I'm okey with smoking weed Smoking weed gets you high and makes you feel good
-
3 RepliesYes, it may be a freedom, but it's the freedom to slowly and painfully kill yourself. Lots of people who smoke don't want to but can't stop
-
1 ReplyWell you keep on smoking and you get a hole put in your neck for doing it,it's a stupid habit that everyone should stop[spoiler]DONT DO IT[/spoiler]

I don't see why people would choose to ban others from doing something they want to do. How should you feel if alcohol was banned? Or fatty foods? Longevity isn't the only way we judge life. If I could live to 200 by never don't anything bad for me, I wouldn't want to, it would be a dull 200 years.
-
Nope I personally am not bothered by it. But I would take out all the crap in it. Honestly anyone who's ever sat down next to me who smoked asked if it was ok and if I started to be affected by it they would ask if they need to put it out. Really we just need it illegal to be a dick while smoking.
-
No. Let people do what they're gonna do. They'd do it illegally if it became illegal and then that would make it even worse

Edited by steg567: 5/31/2015 5:40:43 PMNow watch what would happen if you just added the word "weed" to the title. I bet half the people here would change their statements.
-
Yes, I've seen what smoking can do to family members. It's terrible :(
-
No But raise taxes on it so much it forces them to cut down on smoking so much it saves like a million years of their lives so they can do so much more in their lives. See I should be dictator of the world, I have the best ideas.
-
1 ReplyIn public places but I would have designated 'smoking zones' where it would be fine and anyone can smoke in their homes.
-
1 ReplyEdited by Zeta Reticulan: 5/28/2015 6:46:54 PMAbsolutely. If suicide is illegal, then why isn't smoking? It's basically suicide.
-
think eventualy it'll be phased out, they already have crazy strict laws in some places like.. smoking in public is illegal, it's just hard to straight up BAN something thats been OK for generations, somewhere had a law where if you were born before (a certain year) its ILLEGAL for you to ever buy smokes, stuff like that
-
We should go ahead and ban alcohol. While we are at it let's ban cocaine and heroine. It should work well.
