Eh... I'm not reading all the posts after yours, evade, but I take an environmental science class and we went over this.

Percieved Risks and *something else* risks.

society thinks certain things are bad for us, and certian things less bad.

For example, more people die from canoying accidents than from radiactive material per year.

There's nothing you can do about it. People are always going to be stupid.

Funny. I took environmental biology for 2 years in college. We went over it too.

To artificial life, all reality is virtual.

You only lose the crappy years at the end of your life anyway.

Smoking is a choice. Smokers should be considerate and not smoke right next to someone that it will offend. Non-smokers should be considerate and not insult smokers. Believe it or not, we're aware of the risks. Don't like it? Oh well. It's a conscious decision. I don't care how many people it kills. Lots of things kill people. If people didn't die, our population would be worse off than it already is.

Red herring? There was no red herring. You're pretending that cigarette smoke is the source of all evil in the world(yes, I know, I exaggerated there), and I'm reminding you that many other evils continually take lives away on a daily basis. As Youko so aptly mentioned, many things can quite possibly kill you, cigarette smoking perhaps not being the most frightening one. The point is directly related to the topic, and trying to wave it away because it is uncomfortable for you and steals some of your anti-smoking thunder is childish.



Yes, theoretical. Theoretical as in I'm not guaranteed to be injured by cigarette smoke. However, if some pothead slams into the driver's side door of my car, I am just about guaranteed to be injured, if not killed, unless some freak occurence happens and I walk away unscathed. Anyway, the point is that if I would happen to blow a cloud of cigarette smoke in your face, although it would be rude, you would not suddenly find your face impaled with sharp pieces of glass.

However, I must say that this whole marijuana discussion is slightly unrelated to the topic at hand, and really serves no purpose. I suppose we could continue to debate the immediate danger of driving while intoxicated if you really would like, though.

A smoker drops his/her cigarette and goes, "Oh!" He/she looks away, trying to grab it, crosses the median, and slams into me at 40 mph. I die.

A cool playboy doesn't wear his seatbelt in his convertible with his roofdown. He looks away to talk to his girlfriend in the passenger's seat, crosses the median, slams into me, and his body flies through the windshield of his car, through mine, and through my head. I die.

Boy, it sure is possible to create a deadly situation with anything involving car accidents.



If someone is so much of an ******* to blow smoke in my face, I'm not going to be pleased. In fact, I might return the favor and blow a fire extinguisher in his face.

Last time a person blew smoke in my face at the bar I used to work at, I took his cigg. out of his mouth and stuck it in his beer...This guy was a jerk anyway.

(Language warning)


He was with a bunch of friends. I was like "Do you want more of anything?" His friend says "He doesn't speak english well, he only knows a few words" the guy then says "touch.. my.. penis", and then I say "what?" he says "Lick.. my.. erec..tion" in this arab type voice. His friend says "Yeah, we taught him that.." So later they asked me for some more beer and I said "Lick...my..erec..tion" and walk off. My boss knows what kind of jerks come into the bar, so if they are going to be jerks my boss doesn't care is we give them a little "push" on the way out. They blew smoke at my face about 3 times while takeing there dishes, so I had enough and just *slam dunk* his cigg. in his beer.

Aren't you 15?

Yeah, anyone else smell the bull?

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

yeah, that's kind of why I quit :P. I look about 18 anyway, so nobody ever questioned my changing kegs or stocking beer :/ The boss knew I was 15, wanted me to work from 5pm to 2am, I was like "First off, The waitresses don't tip like they should, second I shouldn't be working past like 8 or 9 pm anyway, and I have school so I couldn't if I wanted too." I made great tips as a bar back, but then since I didn't want to work till 2 am some old guy took my bar back job, makeing me just a regular bus kid, which was good, and legal but then I made no money, and no tips, and the waitresses were all jerks and I didn't like all the smoke anyway. I mean my boss was nice and all, just everyone else was a jerk, he understood why I had to quit, and said if I ever need any cash just call him, and he will give me some hours.



I do, because I got free Red-Bull working there! and food half off! As for bull as in lies? None.
