I am so tired of people telling me how bad smoking is for you and everyone else around you! It causes cancer, second hand smoke causes cancer, causes breathing problems, in pregnant women causes low birth weight and breathing problems for the baby. The only thing I hear that is a Fact, its a stinky habit, this is very true, it does smell bad. But for the rest of the bulls***, they will never find out for a fact that it causes anything. I know people who have lung cancer who have never smoked or been around smokers, and I also know people who have smoked for 20 years and have clear lungs. My mother smoked with all five of us kids and none of us have any health problems, guess we were just lucky. There are so many other bigger problems out there that , in fact, do cause more serious problems like, drinking and driving, over eating, drug overdose and just walking outside your house in the morning is more dangerous with all the cars, factories, guns, ....... And for the ones who believe banning smoking is going to make all the difference in there own health problems I say this. Look into your own lifestyle and eating and exercising habits and stop blaming it on something that hasn't nor will ever be proven. How would some of you that are over weight, like to be told you could no longer buy any junk food, or enter places of business because of your "vent"! I believe with a good eating habit, exercise program and everything else in moderation you can live a long and full life.
