So im starting a discussion here, to the people of NSG, do you smoking cigarettes? If so, which brand and how many? Why do you smoke? Do you enjoy it?

I don't think smoking in moderation is horrible for you. It's not good for you, and smoking a lot can cause some pretty serious health complications, but I don't think smoking that amount will kill you. I smoke Camel Filters, unfiltered Lucky Strikes, Marlboro Reds, and Camel Turkish Royals. I don't mean to sound contradictory when I say smoking can kill you, but you're not in danger. Just keep it under control.

Well, when I was at school the one thing I do remember is that cigarettes don't kill - they only increase your risk. But the risk increase is no different to a person who might go for a run during heavy traffic and sucking in the fumes.
Health and lifestyle are all about risk versus enjoyment and whether one can weigh the two up against each other.

Indeed, and Nevada was first.

That got her attention, and all of a sudden I'm the bad guy here. Hey, I'm not the one who lets his kid talk to strange men, lady.

That's a horrible thing to teach kids. Talking to strangers is how you make friends. In particular, when the kid is with his mom, he's safe. I see the validity of not talking to adults who want to lure kids into their cars, but "don't talk to strangers" is not something to teach kids. Besides, the kid was right about what he said, why would his mother correct him?
