No, I may not know the EXACT facts, but you do agree with me that smoking is bad for you right? EVERYONE would agree on that. My point is not to prove the exact amount of people who smoke, die from lung cancer every minute of every day, my point is that smoking is bad for you, not only CAN it cause lung cancer, but it also has other harmful effects such as cancer of the mouth, nose, throat, pancreas, blood, kidney, penis, cervix, and bladder cancer, coronary artery disease, heart disease and heart attack, ulcers, etc.
It also helps financially... After 1 year save nearly $3,650! And with the current prices rising, I'd expect that to be much higher. AND!! listen to this. If you do get cancer, or some sort of disease or get SICK because smoking causes a LOWER immune system, you have to pay MONEY to pay for health insurance, your deductable, and any charges not covered by your health insurance.
oh and one last thing. About the peopel smoking for 20-70 years are probably very unhealthy and I would bet a million dollars I'm correct. |
Following that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, any risky behavior (skateboarding, skiing, bunjee jumping, rollercoasters, rock climbing, etc) would have to banned because it unfairly increases medical costs to citizens who do nat take part in those types of behavior.
This is the "Land of the Free", remember.
Just where do you get off thinking you should be able to dictate terms to free people in a free country?

Cigarettes are dangerous, but thoughts are even more dangerous. Why let people have thoughts?
