Been about three months since my last cig. On occasion will use an e-cig, not the same but also not alien levels of different either.

I've tried e-cigs, but I'm not fond of them.

I mean, it's not like anti-smokers are overly zealous or anything.

Be careful taking that attitude to people who insist that you don't smoke.

I'm an adult, and I expect that nagging from my Mother, not a teenager. I'm 23 motherfucking years old, and I'm not going to take that shit from any kid. Sorry not sorry.

You really shouldn't smoke.

We are not only concerned with your health, we are also concerned about how you are damaging the health system and poisoning others with second-hand smoke.

In Cannabis Island's defense... they know that. Smokers usually are quite well aware of the dangers, and have already taken that into consideration.

I pay for my own healthcare, I live in the United States. Secondly, I smoke outside and in my own place, so there is no "poisoning others" with second-hand smoke. Thirdly, I'm an adult, that is using a legal product for adults, and the opinions of kids on the dangers of smoking don't really matter to me. I will get the nagging from my mother and my GP, thank you. Not from children.

If you smoke in your house, I hope no one else visits as a concentrated toxic cloud of cigarette smoke is present and is very harmful. If you smoke outside, you could harm other people outside or near where you are.

If he wants to poison himself, let him, so as long as he smokes in privacy and doesn't expose other people to that shit.

I quit around a year and a half ago to avoid aggravating an unrelated chronic illness, with the occasional slip-up that comes from going cold turkey and being surrounded by fellow smokers. If life was fairyland and cigarettes were less dangerous, I'd be back on them in a heartbeat.

Houses have windows...and no, smoking outside is not harmful.

"Tobacco smoke inside a room tends to hang in mid-air rather than disperse. Hot smoke rises, but tobacco smoke cools rapidly, which stops its upward climb. Since the smoke is heavier than the air, the smoke starts to descend.

A person who smokes heavily indoors causes a permanent low-lying smoke cloud that other householders have no choice but to breathe."
