cigarettes should be outlawed

arthurdent

either outlaw alcohol and tobacco or legalize pot. Otherwise we're just hypocrites.

yes please...slapping smokers whom are lighting up near a kid is a ass whoopin beggin to happen in some areas of this great land.

also, can a guy (let's say me :evil: for instance) kick a fucker square in the teeth for flicking their smoke butt on the ground? you stupid piece of shit! what the fuck is wrong with you?

these are some of my most unfavorite assholes on the planet. literally i feel my blood run either cold or hot, i can't describe the feeling of wanting to break their nose or arm or kick their ribs in with a $10,000.00 fine, first offense of course.

guess we're mean, dude :twisted:

well they are made from wood pulp or cotton, so surely they are biodegradable, i personally don't think they are worse than paperbags, but i would like to be prove wrong

i'm fucking sick and tired of seeing all the cigarette butts on the ground. sure i pick some of them up and toss them away for those who can't. cigarette butts are the most common type of litter on earth.

more cig butts are floating in the oceans than any other trash; and there's a fucking lot of it out there.

I totally agree- cig butt throwing is disgusting. Maybe try this- a woman I work with did this once- she saw a guy who was stalled in traffic out on the street toss a butt out the window, ran out the store and picked it up, handed it to the guy and said in a stern voice- Here, you lost this!

they are not made from wood pulp or cotton. plastic is the filter, filter is the plastic. check out the two links i posted earlier in this thread. also, i did a college paper in english class on this very issue. cigs are bullshit. mostly what is bullshit is the good folks that puff away and discard the butts onto the ground like a dumb ass. i am into the environment first and foremost everytime. people are greedy, dumb and lazy.

edit... here ya go, Sir
A "plug" of acetate cellulose filter tow
95% of cigarette filters are made of cellulose acetate (a plastic), and the balance are made from papers and rayon. The cellulose acetate tow fibers are thinner than sewing thread, white, and packed tightly together to create a filter; they can look like cotton. Other materials have been tried and rejected in favor of the taste that acetate produces. Filters vary in filtration efficiency, depending on whether the cigarette is to be "light" or regular.

also...
Nicotine is a powerful insecticide and among the deadliest of all plant products in its pure form

what fucking good does a smoke do for anyone? ok. so some of you will say, ok, chadwick
what good does crack cocaine do for anyone?

at least the fucker's getting frickin high as shit :crazy:
at least cow-shit is thrown on a flowerbed as fertilizer
at least meth cooks create jobs for the law and hazmat fuckers to bust and clean the meth messes up

smokes give me a hole in my throat, a empty pocket book, and help increase health costs due to the great number of smokers.

i am glad many of you enjoy supporting the vicious cycle of health insurance/tobacco wars and the like.

cigarettes are fucking useless. please throw them in the rivers and lakes near you :thumbup:

What do you mean?

I mean, you take the cigarette, you suck it--drawing smoke into your lungs, and then you blow that smoke out.

What's not to like about all that?

Imagine the guy that came up with that idea....."Hey fellows, look at me, I am drawing smoke from this burning thing into my lungs. Wait. And then I'm gonna blow it out".

Everyone clamoured around. It was an instant "hit".
Soon all across the land, people were pulling smoke into their lungs. And blowing it back out.

YAYYYYHHHH!!!!

chadwick

thank you, Rollings

i think i'll go buy me a package of overly inflated cigarettes; i like smoking insecticide. alkaloid is nitrogen atoms...naturally and stuff

chadwick

a minute very tiny mega-miligram speck of pure nicotine is death. learned this in math class. had to figure out its half life stuff if memory serves...

rollings

Well they added that good stuff later. The medical industry paid the cigarette industry in kickbacks.

HURRRRAAAAYYY!

i know this is from wikipedia but i don't care that much to go further but this is what that says

Cellulose acetate fiber is one of the earliest synthetic fibers and is based on cotton or tree pulp cellulose ("biopolymers"). These "cellulosic fibers" have been replaced in may applications by cheaper petro-based fibers (nylon and polyester) in recent decades.

well, what about alcohol? what "purpose" does it serve? Let's make that illegal, too.

And while we're at it, any food that is "empty calories".... what purpose does it serve? Let's make all non-nutritious foods (sweets, candy, ice cream, chips, etc) illegal, too. Those foods and its consequences (obesity) are a much bigger hit on your health care costs than cigarettes.

Finally, I think we should piss test for adrenaline in the work place. We don't need any "thrill seekers" going out for weekend rock climbs and whitewater rafting trips, because they serve no purpose either. They just danger the participant and cost us tax dollars when they get injured or die. Shit, just look at the movie "127 Hours"! That guy was clearly doing something illegal by being outside in nature doing things that "serve no purpose" and costing us tax dollars with search parties, helicopters and such.

Now, everyone get back to work! Writing and reading a meaningless forum online serves no purpose. Remember, be like Dwight on The Office. I think that's the point of all this.

this has got to be a tongue in cheek thread


habits are the best things we got going for us

some folks have zero willpower; this will lead to their demise.

the government is making a fortune off tobacco corporations. it is a proven fact that booze and cigarettes are so much worse for our health than marijuana.

this place (the usa) is out of control. very scary.

This country was founded on tobacco. Shit this country was built on tobacco. I do agree that pot is for less harmful that booze and tobacco. If people want to smoke then let'em. Happiness comes in small doses. It’s that smoke, that drink, that piece of candy or orgasm (quote from Dennis Leary). I do like how you cannot smoke in public places but if you want to smoke in your home or backyard then so be it. People know the risk.
