There was a recent debate about this topic, laws coming out that people must stand at least 5 meters away from doorways before smoking, so everyone who smokes now shares that with people walking down pavements (point raised, why take a lunch time walk, to join every smoker in town's smoke)?
Debate did however also highlight many smokers do so to keep their weight down, others reduce taking drugs to stay calm (which also have side affects).
Was very fashionable to smoke for many years then big corporations got on board and cigarettes where filled with toxins that made the cigarette lethal (I do not know enough facts to substantiate this).
My honest opinion, it is your choice to make, it is your constitutional right to do what you wish, not only mentioning cigarettes, which partner you select in life, what you wear, what you drink, it is all up to you....
e-Cigarettes and vaping are just as lethal, so don't fall into that trap either. Just Thinking Aloud
Yep, that's true! Although most countries put age restrictions on its use, over a billion adults smoke tobacco legally every day, and supplying this demand is big business.
Everyone knows how dangerous cigarettes can be, and yet, society still tolerates its use. While some cities have banned its use in public, many more still don’t do enough to quell its use. 😔😔😔😔
Ha ha @riyuwe I just had to reflect on what they debating over here.
Actually too many heavy drinkers, road accidents, crime to worry more about than cigarette smokers.
Terrifying drugs made at home killing our youth is called "Whoonga" (Nyoape) a fine white powder can be made up from anything from rat poison, heroin, detergent powder, anti-retro-viral drugs, milk powder, pool cleaner to bicarbonate of soda. Highly addictive and a killer.
This is a crazy world we live in, sometimes very sad to see and hear what is going on.
